SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant Accounting Policies
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Corporation or the Company) is a diversified multinational manufacturing and service company that designs, manufactures, and overhauls precision components and provides highly engineered products and services to the aerospace, defense, automotive, shipbuilding, processing, oil, petrochemical, agricultural equipment, railroad, power generation, security, and metalworking industries.
A. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
B. Use of Estimates
The financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), which requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion accounting methods, the estimate of useful lives for property, plant, and equipment, cash flow estimates used for testing the recoverability of assets, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, warranty reserves, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
C. Revenue Recognition
The realization of revenue refers to the timing of its recognition in the accounts of the Corporation and is generally considered realized or realizable and earned when the earnings process is substantially complete and all of the following criteria are met: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; 3) the Corporation’s price to its customer is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured.
We determine the appropriate method by which we recognize revenue by analyzing the terms and conditions of each contract or arrangement entered into with our customers. Revenue is recognized on product sales as production units are shipped and title and risk of loss have transferred. Revenue is recognized on service type contracts as services are rendered. The significant estimates we make in recognizing revenue are primarily for long-term contracts generally accounted for using the cost-to-cost method of percentage of completion accounting that are associated with the design, development and manufacture of highly engineered industrial products used in commercial and defense applications. Under the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method of accounting, profits are recorded pro rata, based upon current estimates of direct and indirect costs to complete such contracts. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. The effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. A significant change in an estimate on one or more contracts could have a material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In 2013, there were no individual significant changes in estimated contract costs at completion. In 2012, the Corporation incurred unanticipated additional costs of $23.7 million on its long-term contract with Westinghouse for disassembly, inspection, and preparation for shipment costs related to the reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) that the Corporation is supplying for the AP1000 nuclear power plants in China. In addition, the Corporation recorded a cumulative catch up benefit of $14.2 million related to a change in estimate on its technology transfer contract on the AP1000 nuclear program. In 2011, the Corporation incurred unanticipated additional costs of $9.7 million to address a localized heating issue in the RCPs.
Losses on contracts are provided for in the period in which the losses become determinable and the excess of billings over cost and estimated earnings on long-term contracts is included in deferred revenue.
Corrections to Prior Years Amounts
The presentation of net sales and cost of sales in the prior year's statement of earnings has been corrected to separately present the components of product and service revenues and costs of sales. This change in presentation did not affect total revenues, total cost of sales, total gross profit, operating income, or net earnings.

D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and commercial paper that are readily convertible into cash, all with original maturity dates of three months or less.
E. Inventory
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Production costs are comprised of direct material and labor and applicable manufacturing overhead.
F. Progress Payments
Certain long-term contracts provide for interim billings as costs are incurred on the respective contracts. Pursuant to contract provisions, agencies of the U.S. Government and other customers are granted title or a secured interest for materials and work-in-process included in inventory to the extent progress payments are received. Accordingly, these receipts have been reported as a reduction of unbilled receivables and inventories, as presented in Notes 4 and 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
G. Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the asset are expensed in the period they are incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Average useful lives for property, plant, and equipment are as follows:
Buildings and improvements
5 to 40 years
Machinery, equipment, and other
3 to 15 years

H. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are generally the result of acquisitions and consist primarily of purchased technology, customer related intangibles, trademarks, and technology licenses. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 1 to 20 years. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on other intangible assets.
I. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Corporation reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable. If required, the Corporation compares the estimated fair value determined by either the undiscounted future net cash flows or appraised value to the related asset’s carrying value to determine whether there has been an impairment. If an asset is considered impaired, the asset is written down to fair value, in the period in which the impairment becomes known. In 2013, the Corporation recognized an impairment of $0.9 million in General and administrative expenses related to certain fixed assets where it was determined that the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value. In 2012, the Corporation recognized an impairment of $5.0 million in General and administrative expenses, in connection with its 2012 restructuring plan, a component of which was exiting a facility.
J. Goodwill
Goodwill results from business acquisitions. The Corporation accounts for business acquisitions by allocating the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated is recorded as goodwill. The recoverability of goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not result in an impairment. The impairment test is based on the estimated fair value of the underlying businesses. The Corporation’s goodwill impairment test is performed as of October 31 of each year. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on goodwill.
K. Pre-Contract Costs
The Corporation, from time to time, incurs costs to begin fulfilling the statement of work under a specific anticipated contract that has yet to be obtained from a customer. If it is determined that the recoveries of these costs are probable, the costs will be capitalized, excluding any start-up costs which are expensed as incurred. When circumstances change and the contract is no longer deemed probable, the capitalized costs will be recognized in earnings. Capitalized pre-contract costs were $1.8 million and $3.0 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
L. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting guidance requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Due to the short maturities of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, the net book value of these financial instruments is deemed to approximate fair value. See Notes 9 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Corporation's Financial Instruments.
M. Research and Development
The Corporation funds research and development programs for commercial products and independent research and development and bid and proposal work related to government contracts. Development costs include engineering and field support for new customer requirements. Corporation-sponsored research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Research and development costs associated with customer-sponsored programs are capitalized to inventory and are recorded in cost of sales when products are delivered or services performed. Funds received under shared development contracts are a reduction of the total development expenditures under the shared contract and are shown net as research and development costs.
N. Environmental Costs
The Corporation establishes a reserve for a potential environmental remediation liability on a site by site basis when it concludes that a determination of legal liability is probable and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on current law and existing technologies. Such amounts, if quantifiable, reflect the Corporation’s estimate of the amount of that liability. If only a range of potential liability can be estimated and no amount within the range is more probable than another, a reserve will be established at the low end of that range. At sites involving multiple parties, the Corporation accrues environmental liabilities based upon its expected share of the liability, taking into account the financial viability of other jointly liable partners. Such reserves are adjusted as assessment and remediation efforts progress or as additional information becomes available. Approximately 27% of the Corporation’s environmental reserves as of December 31, 2013, represent the current value of anticipated remediation costs and are not discounted primarily due to the uncertainty of timing of expenditures. The remaining environmental reserves are discounted to reflect the time value of money since the amount and timing of cash payments for the liability are reliably determinable. All environmental reserves exclude any potential recovery from insurance carriers or third-party legal actions. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
O. Accounting for Share-Based Payments
The Corporation follows the fair value based method of accounting for share-based employee compensation, which requires the Corporation to expense all share-based employee compensation. Share-based employee compensation is a non-cash expense since the Corporation settles these obligations by issuing the shares of Curtiss-Wright Corporation instead of settling such obligations with cash payments.
Compensation expense for all non-qualified share options, performance shares, performance-based restricted shares, time-based restricted stock, and performance-based restricted stock units is recognized on a graded schedule over the requisite service period for the entire award based on the grant date fair value.
P. Earnings Per Share
The Corporation is required to report both basic earnings per share (EPS), based on the weighted-average number of Common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, based on the basic EPS adjusted for all potentially dilutive shares issuable. The calculation of EPS is disclosed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Q. Income Taxes
The Corporation accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws is recognized in the results of operations in the period the new laws are enacted. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.
The Corporation records amounts related to uncertain income tax positions by 1) prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and 2) the measurement of the income tax benefits recognized from such positions. The Corporation’s accounting policy is to classify uncertain income tax positions that are not expected to be resolved in one year as a non-current income tax liability and to classify interest and penalties as a component of Interest expense and General and administrative expenses, respectively. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
R. Foreign Currency
For operations outside the United States of America that prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Corporation translates assets and liabilities at period-end exchange rates and income statement amounts using weighted-average exchange rates for the period. The cumulative effect of translation adjustments is presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. This balance is affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and by the acquisition of foreign entities. Gains and (losses) from foreign currency transactions are included in General and administrative expenses within the results of operations, which amounted to $2.6 million, $(2.3) million, and $(0.8) million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
S. Derivatives
Forward Foreign Exchange and Currency Option Contracts
The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward exchange and currency option contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions. The purpose of the Corporation’s foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused by exchange rate fluctuations. All of the derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments, with the gain or loss on these transactions recorded into earnings in the period in which they occur. These gains and (losses) are classified as General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and amounted to $(6.2) million, $0.9 million, and $(0.7) million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Corporation does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies
The Corporation’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Corporation periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage such exposures. Under these interest rate swaps, the Corporation exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.
For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges (i.e., hedges against the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt due to changes in market interest rates.
T. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Adoption of New Standards
Other Comprehensive Income:  Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In February 2013, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance.  The new guidance requires entities to disclose the effect of each item that was reclassified in its entirety out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income on each affected net income line item.  For reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross-reference to other required disclosures is required. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those years.  The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Legacy Distribution Business
On July 29, 2011, the Corporation sold the assets of the legacy distribution business within the Flow Control segment to McJunkin Red Man Corporation for $4.6 million in cash. The determination was made to divest the business as it was not considered a core business of the Corporation. The disposal resulted in a loss of less than $0.1 million and was not reported as a discontinued operation as the amounts are not considered significant. The business contributed $13.7 million in sales and a pretax loss of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Hydro-pneumatic (Hydrop) product line
On September 29, 2011, the Corporation sold the assets of the Hydrop suspension business, within the Controls segment, to Stromsholmen AB, a subsidiary of the Barnes Group for CHF 3.1 million ($3.5 million) in cash. The determination was made to divest the business as it was not considered a core business of the Corporation. The disposal resulted in a $1.3 million pre-tax gain and was not reported as discontinued operations as the amounts are not considered significant. This business contributed $0.8 million in sales for the year ended December 31, 2010.
ACQUISITIONS
ACQUISITIONS
3. ACQUISITIONS
The Corporation continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit within the Corporation’s existing portfolio or expand the Corporation’s portfolio into new product lines or adjacent markets.  The Corporation has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as business combinations and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Corporation's financial statements.  This goodwill arises because the purchase prices for these businesses reflect the future earnings and cash flow potential in excess of the earnings and cash flows attributable to the current product and customer set at the time of acquisition.  Thus, goodwill inherently includes the know-how of the assembled workforce, the ability of the workforce to further improve the technology and product offerings, and the expected cash flows resulting from these efforts. Goodwill may also include expected synergies resulting from the complementary strategic fit these businesses bring to existing operations.
The Corporation allocates the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. In the months after closing, as the Corporation obtains additional information about these assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, and as the Corporation learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price.  Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment.  The Corporation will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.
In 2013, the Corporation acquired five businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $236.1 million, all of which are described in more detail below. In 2012, the Corporation acquired eight businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $462.4 million, net of cash acquired, all of which are described in more detail below. In 2011, the Corporation acquired eight businesses for an aggregate purchase of $183.3 million, all of which are described in more detail below.
The amounts of net sales and net loss included in the Corporation’s consolidated statement of earnings from the acquisition date to the period ended December 31, 2013 are $74.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for all acquisitions consummated during 2013, 2012, and 2011:

Supplemental Pro Forma Statements of Operations Data (Unaudited)
The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the businesses acquired in 2011 were not material to the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, and therefore pro forma financial information for such business acquisitions is not presented.
The following table presents unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information for the combined results of the Corporation and its completed business acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as if the 2013 acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2012. Pro forma results were previously disclosed for the 2012 acquisitions as if the 2012 acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2011, and the 2012 pro forma provided below was prepared using the same assumption.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and are based on the historical financial information for a 12 month period. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results are not necessarily indicative of what our consolidated results of operations actually would have been had we completed the acquisitions on January 1, 2012. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated results do not purport to project the future results of operations of the combined company nor do they reflect the expected realization of any cost savings associated with the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results reflect primarily the following pro forma pre-tax adjustments:
Elimination of historical intangible asset amortization expense (approximately $0.7 million and $2.9 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively).
Additional amortization expense (approximately $3.7 million and $23.0 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively) related to the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired.
Additional depreciation expense (approximately $1.3 million and $1.8 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively) related to the fair value adjustment to property, plant and equipment acquired.
Elimination of the fair value adjustments to acquisition-date inventory that has been sold in 2013 of $3.7 million, and recognition in 2012 of the full value of the fair value adjustment to acquisition date inventory.
Reclassification of $2.1 million of the Corporation’s 2013 acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition into 2012. Included in these costs are advisory, investment banking and legal and regulatory costs incurred by the Corporation. The Corporation records acquisition costs in General and administrative expenses.
Elimination of historical interest expense (approximately $0.6 million and $6.8 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively).
Additional interest expense (approximately $4.3 million and $26.3 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively) associated with the incremental borrowings that would have been incurred to acquire these companies as of January 1, 2012.

The purchase price allocations relating to the businesses acquired are initially based on estimates. The Corporation adjusts these estimates based upon final analysis including input from third party appraisals, when deemed appropriate. The determination of fair value is finalized no later than twelve months from acquisition. Goodwill adjustments represent subsequent adjustments to the purchase price allocation for acquisitions as determined by the respective accounting guidance requirements based on the date of acquisition.
During 2013, the Corporation finalized the allocation of the purchase price for all businesses acquired prior to 2013. The adjustments to the Corporation's purchase price allocation were not material.
The Corporation completed its annual goodwill impairment testing as of October 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 and concluded that there was no impairment of value. The estimated fair value of the reporting units also substantially exceeded the recorded book value, with the exception of the oil and gas reporting unit, in the Flow Control segment. Based on the annual impairment test, the Corporation determined that the oil and gas reporting unit’s estimated fair value was not substantially in excess of its carrying amount.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Forward Foreign Exchange and Currency Option Contracts
The Corporation has foreign currency exposure primarily in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada.  The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward and option contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions.  The purpose of the Corporation’s foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused by exchange rate fluctuations.  Guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities requires companies to recognize all of the derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies
The Corporation’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Corporation periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage such exposures. Under these interest rate swaps, the Corporation exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.
For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges (i.e., hedges against the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt due to changes in market interest rates.
In March 2013, the Corporation entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements to convert the interest payments of (i) the $100 million, 3.85% notes, due February 26, 2025, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 1.77% spread, and (ii) the $75 million, 4.05% notes, due February 26, 2028, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 1.73% spread.
In January 2012, the Corporation entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements to convert the interest payments of (i) the $200 million, 4.24% notes, due December 1, 2026, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 2.02% spread, and (ii) $25 million of the $100 million, 3.84% notes, due December 1, 2021, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 1.90% spread.
The notional amounts of the Corporation’s outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges were $400 million and $225 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
The fair value accounting guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability to access.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data such as quoted prices, interest rates, and yield curves.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable data points that are not corroborated by market data.
Based upon the fair value hierarchy, all of the forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are valued at a Level 2.

Debt
The estimated fair value amounts were determined by the Corporation using available market information, which is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues as of December 31, 2013. The fair value of our debt instruments are characterized as a Level 2 measurement in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair values of the Corporation’s fixed rate debt instruments at December 31, 2013, aggregated $887 million compared to a carrying value of $900 million. The estimated fair values of the Corporation’s fixed rate debt instruments at December 31, 2012, aggregated $596 million compared to a carrying value of $574 million.
The carrying amount of the variable interest rate debt approximates fair value because the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market conditions.
The fair values described above may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Nonrecurring measurements
In connection with our 2012 restructuring initiative, the Corporation formally announced a plan to cease operations at a certain facility within our Surface Technologies segment during the fourth quarter of 2012. This decision resulted in a reduction of the useful life of the asset group at the facility. In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets guidance of FASB Codification Subtopic 360–10, long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of $4.8 million were written down to their fair value of zero, resulting in an impairment charge of $4.8 million, which was included in General and administrative expenses during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012. The fair value of the impairment charge was determined using the income approach over the reduced useful life of the asset group. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the impairment charge is classified as a Level 3 measurement as it is based on significant other observable inputs.

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
11. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
The Corporation did not have any material restructuring initiatives in 2013.
2012 Restructuring Initiative
The Corporation focuses on being the low-cost provider of its products by reducing operating costs and implementing lean manufacturing initiatives, which have in part led to the involuntary termination of certain positions and the consolidation of facilities and product lines.
During the year ended 2012, the Corporation recorded restructuring costs by segment as follows:

During 2012, the Corporation committed to a plan to restructure existing operations through a reduction in workforce and consolidation of operating locations. The plan impacted all three of the Corporation’s reportable segments and resulted in costs incurred of $19 million. In the Flow Control and Controls segments, restructuring costs of $4 million and $3 million, respectively, were primarily for severance and benefit costs associated with headcount reductions. In the Surface Technologies segment, restructuring costs of $7 million were primarily for severance and benefits costs and $5 million of non-cash costs for a fixed asset write-down due to the cease use of an operating facility.
The Corporation has completed its restructuring activities under the 2012 restructuring plan.
During the year ended 2011, the Corporation, in its Flow Control segment, incurred $0.2 million of severance and benefit costs related to headcount reductions within General and administrative expenses.

The Corporation has income tax net operating loss carryforwards related to international operations of approximately $24.8 million of which $14.5 million have an indefinite life and $10.3 million expire through 2022. The Corporation has federal and state income tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $27.1 million which expire through 2033. The Corporation has recorded a deferred tax asset of $9.8 million reflecting the benefit of the loss carryforwards.
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2013 in certain of the Corporation’s foreign locations. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as projections for future growth. The Corporation decreased its valuation allowance by $1.9 million, to $6.3 million, as of December 31, 2013, in order to measure only the portion of the deferred tax asset that more likely than not will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as projections for growth.
Income tax payments of $69.4 million were made in 2013, $42.7 million in 2012, and $47.6 million in 2011.
The amount of undistributed foreign subsidiaries earnings considered to be permanently reinvested for which no provision has been made for U.S. federal or foreign taxes at December 31, 2013 was $297.1 million. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that would be payable if these amounts were repatriated to the United States; however, foreign tax credits may partiality offset any tax liability.
The Corporation has recognized a liability in Other liabilities for interest of $1.6 million and penalties of $1.1 million as of December 31, 2013.

The Corporation does not expect any significant changes to the estimated amount of liability associated with its uncertain tax positions through the next twelve months. Included in the total unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 is $7.6 million, $9.0 million, and $4.0 million, respectively, which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate.

Interest payments of $31 million, $24 million, and $17 million were made in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
On February 26, 2013, the Corporation issued $400 million of Senior Notes (the "2013 Notes").  The 2013 Notes consist of $225 million of 3.70% Senior Notes that mature on February 26, 2023, $100 million of 3.85% Senior Notes that mature on February 26, 2025, and $75 million of 4.05% Senior Notes that mature on February 26, 2028.  An additional $100 million of 4.11% Senior Notes were issued on September 26, 2013 that mature on September 26, 2028. The 2013 Notes are senior unsecured obligations, equal in right of payment to the Corporation's existing senior indebtedness. The Corporation, at its option, can prepay at any time all or any part of the 2013 Notes, subject to a make-whole payment in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.  In connection with the issuance of the 2013 Notes, the Corporation paid customary fees that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the 2013 Notes.  Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Corporation is required to maintain certain financial ratios, the most restrictive of which is a debt to capitalization limit of 60%. The debt to capitalization ratio (as defined per the Notes Purchase Agreement and Credit Agreement) is calculated using the same formula for all of the Corporation's debt agreements and is a measure of the Corporation's indebtedness to capitalization, where capitalization equals debt plus equity. The Corporation had the ability to borrow additional debt of $1.3 billion without violating our debt to capitalization covenant. The 2013 Notes also contain a cross default provision with respect to the Corporation’s other senior indebtedness.  
In August 2012, we amended and refinanced our existing credit facility by entering into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of financial institutions, led by Bank of America N.A., Wells Fargo, N.A, and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The proceeds available under the Credit Agreement are to be used for working capital, internal growth initiatives, funding of future acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we have a borrowing capacity of $500 million. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides an accordion feature which allows us to borrow an additional $100 million. As of December 31, 2013, we had $42 million in letters of credit supported by the credit facility and $50 million of borrowings under the credit facility.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants that we consider usual and customary for an agreement of this type for comparable commercial borrowers, including a maximum consolidated debt to capitalization ratio of 60%. The Credit Agreement has customary events of default, such as non-payment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees, or other amounts; cross-payment default and cross-acceleration.
Borrowings under the credit agreement will accrue interest based on (i) Libor or (ii) a base rate of the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) BofA’s announced prime rate, or (c) the Eurocurrency rate plus 1%, plus a margin. The interest rate and level of facility fees are dependent on certain financial ratios, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also provides customary fees, including administrative agent and commitment fees. In connection with the Credit Agreement, we paid customary transaction fees that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement.
On December 8, 2011, the Corporation issued $300 million of Senior Notes (the "2011 Notes"). The 2011 Notes consist of $100 million of 3.84% Senior Notes that mature on December 1, 2021 and $200 million of 4.24% Senior Series Notes that mature on December 1, 2026. The 2011 Notes are senior unsecured obligations, equal in right of payment to our existing senior indebtedness. The Corporation, at its option, can prepay at any time all or any part of our 2011 Notes, subject to a make-whole payment in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. In connection with our 2011 Notes, the Corporation paid customary fees that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of our 2011 Notes. Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Corporation is required to maintain certain financial ratios, the most restrictive of which is a debt to capitalization limit of 60%. The 2011 Notes also contain a cross default provision with our other senior indebtedness.
On December 1, 2005, the Corporation issued $150 million of 5.51% Senior Notes (the "2005 Notes"). The 2005 Notes mature on December 1, 2017. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are equal in right of payment to the Corporation’s existing senior indebtedness. The Corporation, at its option, can prepay at any time all or any part of the 2005 Notes, subject to a make-whole amount in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Notes, the Corporation paid customary fees that have been deferred and are being amortized over the terms of the Notes. The Corporation is required under the Note Purchase Agreement to maintain certain financial ratios, the most restrictive of which is a debt to capitalization limit of 60%. The 2005 Notes also contain a cross default provision with the Corporation’s other senior indebtedness.
On September 25, 2003, the Corporation issued $200 million of Senior Notes (the "2003 Notes"). The 2003 Notes consist of $75 million of 5.13% Senior Notes that matured on September 25, 2010 and $125 million of 5.74% Senior Notes that matured on September 25, 2013. The $75 million of 5.13% Senior Notes were repaid during the third quarter of 2010 by drawing down on our revolver. The $125 million of 5.74% Senior Notes were repaid during the third quarter of 2013 by using the funds from the 2013 Notes.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
EARNINGS PER SHARE
14. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Corporation is required to report both basic earnings per share (EPS), based on the weighted-average number of Common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, based on the basic EPS adjusted for all potentially dilutive shares issuable.
As of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 there were 297,000, 633,000, and 653,000 stock options outstanding, respectively, that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise price of these options was greater than their average market value, which would result in an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share.
Earnings per share calculations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, are as follows:

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
15. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Corporation maintains two share-based compensation plans, restricted stock units and performance share units, both of which are utilized only in our executive Long Term Incentive grants. Previous grants included non-qualified stock options (NQSO) to all participants. Under our employee benefit program, the Corporation also provides an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) available to most active employees. Certain awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control.
The compensation cost for employee and non-employee director share-based compensation programs during 2013, 2012, and 2011 is as follows:

Other share-based payments include restricted stock awards to non-employee directors, who are treated as employees as prescribed by the accounting guidance on share-based payments. The compensation cost recognized follows the cost of the employee, which is primarily reflected as General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. No share-based compensation costs were capitalized during 2013, 2012, or 2011.
2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Awards under the 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2005 LTI Plan") consist of performance units (cash), performance share units, time-based restricted share units, and two legacy components, restricted stock units and non-qualified stock options. Under the 2005 LTI Plan, an aggregate total of 5,000,000 shares (as adjusted for subsequent stock splits and dividends) of common stock were registered. Issuances of common stock to satisfy employee option exercises will be made from the Corporation’s treasury stock. No more than 200,000 shares of common stock or 100,000 shares of restricted stock may be awarded in any year to any one participant in the 2005 LTI Plan.
The Corporation awarded total performance units (cash) of $17.1 million, $16.2 million, and $19.3 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, to certain key employees. The performance units are denominated in U.S. dollars, settled in U.S. dollars, and are contingent upon the Corporation’s satisfaction of performance objectives keyed to achieving profitable growth over a period of three fiscal years commencing with the fiscal year following such awards. The estimated cost of such awards is expensed over the three-year performance period. Performance unit expense was $16.6 million, $12.6 million, and $8.1 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The actual cost of the performance units may vary from the total value of the awards depending upon the degree to which the key performance objectives are met.
Non-Qualified Stock Options (NQSO)
The Corporation no longer grants non-qualified stock options under the 2005 LTI Plan. Prior to November 2011, the Corporation granted non-qualified stock options to key employees each year. Stock options granted under the 2005 LTI Plan expire ten years after the date of the grant and are generally exercisable (vest) one-third per year beginning with 12 months following the date of grant, and fully vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of the NQSO’s was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Corporation’s stock and other factors. The Corporation uses historical data to estimate the expected term of options granted. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $11.4 million, $3.1 million, and $3.9 million, respectively. The above table represents the Corporation’s estimate of options fully vested and/or expected to vest.
NQSO grants vest over three years and compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of each award as if each award was, in substance, multiple awards. During 2013, 2012, and 2011, compensation cost associated with NQSOs was $0.2 million, $0.9 million, and $3.1 million respectively. As of December 31, 2013, there was less than $0.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized during 2014.
Cash received from option exercises during 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $20.8 million, $6.7 million, and $4.2 million, respectively. The total tax benefit generated from options exercised during 2013, 2012, and 2011, was $2.0 million, $1.0 million, and $1.1 million, respectively. Tax benefits received on exercised options, which were subject to expense under U.S. GAAP, have been credited to deferred taxes up to the amount of benefit recorded in the income statement, with the difference charged to additional paid in capital, while tax benefits received on exercised options that were not subject to expense have been credited to additional paid in capital.
Performance Share Units
Since 2005, the Corporation has granted performance share units to certain employees under the 2005 LTI Plan, whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various company-wide, three-year performance goals around net income targets, both against budget and as a percentage of sales against a peer group. In addition, certain key executives are awarded performance based share units if the Corporation's total shareholder return over the three-year term of the awards compares favorably to that of a self-constructed peer group.  The non-vested shares are subject to forfeiture if established performance goals are not met or employment is terminated other than due to death, disability, or retirement. Share plans are denominated in share-based units based on the fair market value of the Corporation’s Common stock on the date of grant.

The performance share unit’s compensation cost is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the three-year requisite service period. As forfeiture and performance assumptions change, compensation cost will be adjusted on a cumulative basis in the period of the assumption change.
As of December 31, 2013, there was $7.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.2 years related to non-vested performance share units.
Restricted Share Units
Restricted share units cliff vest at the end of the awards’ vesting period. The restricted share units contain only a service condition, and thus compensation cost is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which ranges from 3 to 10.1 years. The non-vested restricted stock is subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated other than due to death or disability. The restricted share units are subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated and are nontransferable. During 2013, restricted share units associated with one of the Corporation's former executives who resigned in 2013 were forfeited and the related stock compensation expense of $1.3 million that was previously recorded was reversed.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Corporation’s ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase the Corporation’s Common stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the fair market value at the end of each offering period. Each offering period of the ESPP lasts six months, commencing on January 1st and July 1st of each year. Participation in the offering is limited to 10% of an employee’s base salary (not to exceed amounts allowed under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code), participation may be terminated at any time by the employee and automatically ends on termination of employment with the Corporation. Effective January 1, 2011, the Corporation increased the number of shares authorized for issuance under the ESPP by an additional 1,200,000 shares, from 2,000,000 to 3,200,000, and extended the term of the ESPP by an additional two years through October 1, 2015. The common stock to satisfy the stock purchases under the ESPP were originally designated as newly issued shares of common stock; however, the Company has reserved the additional 1,200,000 shares from Treasury. During 2013, there were 284,900 shares purchased under the ESPP. As of December 31, 2013, the Corporation has withheld $4.4 million from employees, the equivalent of 82,846 shares. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the six-month vesting period during which employees perform related services. The Corporation recognized $0.3 million of tax benefit associated with disqualifying dispositions during 2013, all of which was credited to additional paid in capital.
2005 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors
The 2005 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors ("2005 Stock Plan"), approved by the stockholders in 2005, provided for the grant of stock awards and, at the option of the non-employee directors, the deferred payment of regular stipulated compensation and meeting fees in equivalent shares. Under the 2005 Stock Plan, the Corporation’s non-employee directors each receive an annual restricted stock award, which is subject to a three-year restriction period commencing on the date of the grant. For 2013, 2012, and 2011, the value of the award granted was $70,000 per director, respectively. These restricted stock awards are subject to forfeiture if the non-employee director resigns or retires by reason of his or her decision not to stand for re-election prior to the lapsing of all restrictions, unless the restrictions are otherwise removed by the Committee on Directors and Governance. The cost of the restricted stock awards is amortized over the three year restriction period from the date of grant or such shorter restriction period as determined by the removal of such restrictions. Newly elected non-employee directors also receive a one-time five year restricted stock award of $35,000. The total number of shares of Common stock available for grant under the 2005 Stock Plan may not exceed 100,000 shares. During 2013, the Corporation awarded 15,256 shares of restricted stock, of which 5,721, have been deferred by certain directors. During 2012, the Corporation awarded 16,977 shares of restricted stock, of which 8,935 have been deferred by certain directors. During 2011, the Corporation awarded 16,680 shares of restricted stock, of which 7,820 have been deferred by certain directors.
Pursuant to election by non-employee directors to receive shares in lieu of payment for earned and deferred compensation under the 2005 Stock Plan, the Corporation had provided for an additional aggregate of 65,503 and 68,974 shares at an average price of $31.94 and $31.16, respectively, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. During 2013 and 2012, the Corporation issued 19,670 and 12,955 shares, respectively, in compensation pursuant to such elections.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS
16. ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS
The Corporation has been named as a potentially responsible party (PRP), as have many other corporations and municipalities, in a number of environmental clean-up sites. The Corporation continues to make progress in resolving these claims through settlement discussions and payments from established reserves. The superfund sites remaining open at the end of the year are: Caldwell Trucking landfill superfund site, located in Fairfield, New Jersey; Sharkey landfill superfund site, located in Parsippany, New Jersey; and Chemsol, Inc. superfund site, located in Piscataway, New Jersey. The Corporation believes that the outcome for any of these remaining sites will not have a material effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.
The Corporation continued the operation of the ground water and soil remediation activities at the Wood-Ridge, New Jersey site through 2013. The cost of constructing and operating this site was provided for in 1990 when the Corporation established a reserve to remediate the property. Even though this property was sold in December 2001, the Corporation retained the responsibility for this remediation in accordance with the sale agreement. The reserve balance as of December 31, 2013, was $6.9 million, which is essentially unchanged from the prior year.
In 1992, the Corporation was named as a PRP in the Caldwell Trucking superfund site. The majority of the costs for this site have been for soil and groundwater remediation. As of December 31, 2013, the Corporation’s reserve balance was $4.7 million, which largely represents continuing operation and maintenance costs, system performance monitoring efforts, and assessment sampling.
The Corporation, through its Electro-Mechanical Division (EMD) business unit, has three Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) radioactive materials licenses that are utilized in the continued operation of the EMD business. In connection with these licenses, the Corporation has known conditional asset retirement obligations related to asset decommissioning activities to be performed in the future, when the Corporation terminates these licenses. For two of the three licenses, the Corporation has recorded an asset retirement obligation. In 2012, in connection with its license renewal, the Corporation increased its asset retirement obligation by $6 million, to $9 million, for these licenses and revised its estimated settlement date to 2032. The Corporation recorded accretion expense of less than $1 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. For its third license, the Corporation has not recorded an asset retirement obligation as it is not reasonably estimable due to insufficient information about the timing and method of settlement of the obligation. Accordingly, this obligation has not been recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements. A liability for this obligation will be recorded in the period when sufficient information regarding timing and method of settlement becomes available to make a reasonable estimate of the liability’s fair value.
The Corporation’s aggregate environmental obligation at December 31, 2013 was $16.3 million compared to $16.4 million at December 31, 2012. Approximately 27.4% of the Corporation’s environmental reserves as of December 31, 2013, represent the current value of anticipated remediation costs and are not discounted primarily due to the uncertainty of timing of expenditures. The remaining environmental reserves are discounted. All environmental reserves exclude any potential recovery from insurance carriers or third-party legal actions. As of December 31, 2013, the undiscounted cash flows associated with the discounted reserves were $19.2 million and are anticipated to be paid over the next 30 years.
PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
17. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
The Corporation maintains seventeen separate and distinct pension and other postretirement defined benefit plans, consisting of seven domestic pensions and other postretirement benefit plans and ten separate foreign pension plans. The Corporation maintains the following domestic plans: a qualified pension plan, a non-qualified pension plan, and a postretirement health-benefits plan (the “Curtiss-Wright Plans”), a postretirement health benefits plan for EMD employees and two qualified plans and one postretirement health benefit plan for Williams Controls. The foreign plans consist of three defined benefit pension plans in the United Kingdom, three in Germany, two in Mexico, and one plan each in Canada and Switzerland. The German plans were added during 2013 as part of our February 28, 2013 acquisition of Phönix Holding GmbH.
Domestic Plans
The Curtiss-Wright Plans
The Corporation maintains a defined benefit pension plan (the "CW Pension Plan") covering all employees under four benefit formulas: a non-contributory non-union and union formula for all Curtiss-Wright (CW) employees and a contributory union and non-union benefit formula for employees at the EMD business unit.
CW non-union employees hired prior to February 1, 2010 receive a “traditional” benefit based on years of credited service, the five highest consecutive years’ compensation during the last ten years of service, and a “cash balance” benefit. These employees became participants under the CW Pension Plan after one year of service and were vested after three years of service. CW non-union employees hired on or after the effective date are eligible for the cash balance benefit only. CW union employees who have negotiated a benefit under the CW Pension Plan are entitled to a benefit based on years of service multiplied by a monthly pension rate.
The formula for EMD employees covers both union and non-union employees and is designed to satisfy the requirements of relevant collective bargaining agreements. Employee contributions are withheld each pay period and are equal to 1.5% of salary. The benefits for the EMD employees are based on years of service and compensation. On December 31, 2012, the Corporation amended the CW Pension Plan to close the benefit to EMD employees hired after January 1, 2014.
In May 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the CW Pension Plan. Effective January 1, 2014, all active non-union employees participating in the final and career average pay formulas in the defined benefit plan will cease accruals 15 years from the effective date of the amendment.  In addition to the sunset provision, the “cash balance” benefit for non-union participants will be eliminated as of the effective date.  Non-Union employees who are not currently receiving final or career average pay benefits become eligible to participate in a new defined contribution plan which provides both employer match and non-elective contribution components, up to a maximum employer contribution of 6%.  The amendment does not affect CW employees that are subject to collective bargaining agreements.  
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Corporation had a noncurrent pension liability of $79.5 million and $195.9 million, respectively. This reduction was primarily driven by favorable asset performance, which exceeded 19% for 2013, and a 75 basis point increase in the discount rate which was 4.75% as of December 31, 2013. The May 2013 amendment, which is effective January 1, 2014, resulted in a $3 million reduction to the projected benefit obligation of the plan and a second quarter 2013 curtailment charge of $2 million.
The Corporation made $40.5 million of contributions to the CW Pension Plan in 2013 and expects to make a contribution of approximately $40.0 million in 2014. The Corporation expects to make cumulative contributions of approximately $101 million from 2014 through 2018. The reduction in the Corporation's projections is primarily due to favorable changes in the discount rate and asset performance. The Corporation expects to make cash contributions of approximately $14.0 million in 2014 for the new defined contribution plan, effective January 1, 2014, and cumulative contributions of approximately $74.0 million from 2014 through 2018.
The Corporation also maintains a non-qualified restoration plan (the "CW Restoration Plan") covering those employees of CW and EMD whose compensation or benefits exceed the IRS limitation for pension benefits. Benefits under the CW Restoration Plan are not funded, and, as such, the Corporation had an accrued pension liability of $31.7 million and $34.4 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Corporation’s contributions to the CW Restoration Plan are expected to be $2.1 million in 2014.
The Corporation provides postretirement health benefits to certain employees (the "CW Retirement Plan"). In 2002, the Corporation restructured the postretirement medical benefits for certain active employees, effectively freezing the plan. The plan continues to be maintained for retired employees. The Corporation had an accrued postretirement benefit liability of $0.5 million and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Benefits under the plan are not funded. The Corporation’s contributions to the CW Retirement Plan are not expected to be material in 2014.
EMD Plan
The Corporation, through an administration agreement with Westinghouse, maintains the Westinghouse Government Services Group Welfare Benefits Plan (the “EMD Retirement Plan”), a retiree health and life insurance plan for substantially all of the Curtiss-Wright EMD employees. The EMD Retirement Plan provides basic health and welfare coverage on a non-contributory basis. Benefits are based on years of service and are subject to certain caps. Effective January 1, 2011, the Corporation modified the benefit design for post-65 retirees by introducing Retiree Reimbursement Accounts (RRA’s) to participants in lieu of the traditional benefit delivery. Participant accounts are funded a set amount annually that can be used to purchase supplemental coverage on the open market, effectively capping the benefit.
The Corporation had an accrued postretirement benefit liability at December 31, 2013 and 2012 of $18.5 million and $20.7 million, respectively. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Corporation has a discounted receivable from Washington Group International to reimburse the Corporation for a portion of these postretirement benefit costs. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the discounted receivable included in other assets was $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The Corporation expects to contribute $1.4 million to the EMD Retirement Plan during 2014.
The Williams Plans
The Corporation acquired two defined benefit pension plans and a postretirement benefit plan with the acquisition of Williams Controls on December 14, 2012. The two defined benefit plans, an hourly employee plan and salaried employee plan, provide a fixed formula benefit to members upon retirement. The postretirement benefit plan provides health care and life insurance benefits for certain of its retired employees. No new employees are being admitted into these plans. As of December 31, 2013, the Corporation had an accrued pension liability of $2.4 million and an accrued postretirement benefit liability of $1.3 million related to these plans. The Corporation expects to contribute $0.8 million into these plans in 2014.
Foreign Plans
The foreign plans consist of three defined benefit pension plans in the United Kingdom, three in Germany, two in Mexico, and one plan each in Canada and Switzerland. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the total projected benefit obligation related to all foreign plans is $87.6 million and $83.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Corporation had an accrued pension liability of $2.1 million and $8.4 million, respectively. The Corporation's contributions to the foreign plans are expected to be $3.4 million in 2014.
In September 2013, the Corporation amended the Metal Improvement Company - Salaried Staff pension Scheme (U.K.) and the Penny & Giles Pension Plan (U.K.) to cease the accrual of future benefits effective December 31, 2013. The amendments to the plans resulted in a $7 million reduction to the projected benefit obligations and a curtailment gain of $2.8 million.

Net periodic benefit cost, specifically service and interest cost, has increased over the reported periods due to growth in headcount and service accruals related to existing employees under the age and service-based formula in the plan. The recognized actuarial loss has increased over the reported periods, due largely to prior period declines in the discount rate.
The Cost of settlements/curtailments indicated above represents events that are accounted for under guidance on employers’ accounting for settlements and curtailments of defined benefit pension plans. In 2013, the CW Pension Plan curtailment charge of $2.2 million and special termination benefits in the CW Restoration Plan were largely offset by the curtailment gain in the Penny & Giles Pension Plan.
In the following table, the pension benefits information is a consolidated disclosure of all domestic and foreign plans described earlier. The postretirement benefits information includes all domestic postretirement benefit plans, as there are no foreign postretirement benefit plans. All plans were valued using a December 31, 2013 measurement date to comply with the requirements of U.S. GAAP to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position.

The discount rate for each plan is determined by discounting the plan’s expected future benefit payments using a yield curve developed from high quality bonds that are rated Aa or better by Moody’s as of the measurement date. The yield curve calculation matches the notional cash inflows of the hypothetical bond portfolio with the expected benefit payments to arrive at one effective rate for each plan.
The overall expected return on assets assumption is based on a combination of historical performance of the pension fund and expectations of future performance. Expected future performance is determined by weighting the expected returns for each asset class by the plan’s asset allocation. The expected returns are based on long-term capital market assumptions utilizing a ten-year time horizon through consultation with investment advisors. While consideration is given to recent performance and historical returns, the assumption represents a long-term prospective return.

Pension Plan Assets
The overall objective for plan assets is to earn a rate of return over time to meet anticipated benefit payments in accordance with plan provisions. The long-term investment objective of the domestic retirement plans is to achieve a total rate of return, net of fees, which exceeds the actuarial overall expected return on asset assumptions used for funding purposes and which provides an appropriate premium over inflation. The intermediate-term objective of the domestic retirement plans, defined as three to five years, is to outperform each of the capital markets in which assets are invested, net of fees. During periods of extreme market volatility, preservation of capital takes a higher precedence than outperforming the capital markets.
The Corporation’s Finance Committee is responsible for formulating investment policies, developing investment manager guidelines and objectives, and approving and managing qualified advisors and investment managers. The guidelines established define permitted investments within each asset class and apply certain restrictions such as limits on concentrated holdings, and prohibits selling securities short, buying on margin, and the purchase of any securities issued by the Corporation.
The Corporation maintains the funds of the CW Pension Plan under a trust that is diversified across investment classes and among investment managers to achieve an optimal balance between risk and return. In accordance with this policy, the Corporation has established target allocations for each asset class and ranges of expected exposure. The Corporation’s domestic retirement assets are invested within this allocation structure in three major categories: domestic equity securities, international equity securities, and debt securities. Below are the Corporation’s actual and established target allocations for the CW Pension Plan, representing 82% of consolidated assets:

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, cash funds in the CW Pension Plan represented less than 3% of portfolio assets. The Williams Plans, which represent approximately 2% of domestic retirement assets, are more heavily weighted in fixed income resulting in a weighted expected return on assets assumption of 6.75%.
Foreign plan assets represent 15% of consolidated plan assets, with the majority of the assets supporting the U.K. plans. The U.K. foreign plans follow a similar asset allocation strategy, while other foreign plans are more heavily weighted in fixed income resulting in a weighted expected return on assets assumption of 5.20% for all foreign plans.
The Corporation may from time to time require the reallocation of assets in order to bring the retirement plans into conformity with these ranges. The Corporation may also authorize alterations or deviations from these ranges where appropriate for achieving the objectives of the retirement plans.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
SEGMENT INFORMATION
19. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Corporation manages and evaluates its operations based on the products and services it offers and the different markets it serves. Based on this approach, the Corporation has three reportable segments: Flow Control, Controls, and Surface Technologies. The Flow Control segment primarily designs, manufactures, distributes, and services a broad range of highly engineered flow control products including valves, pumps, motors, generators, instrumentation, and control electronics for severe service military and commercial applications. The Controls segment primarily designs, develops, and manufactures mechanical systems, drive systems, and mission-critical embedded computing products and sensors mainly for the aerospace and defense industries. Surface Technologies provides various metallurgical services, principally shot peening, laser peening, coatings, anodizing, heat treating and analytical services. The segment provides these services to a broad spectrum of customers in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, construction equipment, oil and gas, petrochemical, and metal working.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Interest expense and income taxes are not reported on an operating segment basis because they are not considered in the segments’ performance evaluation by the Corporation’s CEO, its chief operating decision-maker.

CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
20. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Legal Proceedings
The Corporation has been named in a number of lawsuits that allege injury from exposure to asbestos. To date, the Corporation has not been found liable for or paid any material sum of money in settlement in any case. The Corporation believes its minimal use of asbestos in its past and current operations and the relatively non-friable condition of asbestos in its products makes it unlikely that it will face material liability in any asbestos litigation, whether individually or in the aggregate. The Corporation maintains insurance coverage for these potential liabilities and believes adequate coverage exists to cover any unanticipated asbestos liability.
In December 2013, the Corporation, along with other unaffiliated parties, received a claim, from Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) filed in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary. The claim pertains to a January 2011 fire and explosion at a delayed coker unit at its Fort McMurray refinery that resulted in the injury of five CNRL employees, damage to property and equipment, and various forms of consequential loss such as loss of profit, lost opportunities, and business interruption. The fire and explosion occurred when a CNRL employee bypassed certain safety controls and opened an operating coker unit. The total quantum of alleged damages arising from the incident has not been finalized, but is estimated to meet or exceed $1 billion.  The Corporation maintains various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability, and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us. The Corporation is currently unable to estimate an amount, or range of potential losses, if any, from this matter. The Corporation believes it has adequate legal defenses and intends to defend this matter vigorously. The Corporation's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, could be materially affected during a future fiscal quarter or fiscal year by unfavorable developments or outcome regarding this claim.
The Corporation is party to a number of legal actions and claims, none of which individually or in the aggregate, in the opinion of management, are expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.
Letters of Credit and Other Arrangements
The Corporation enters into standby letters of credit agreements and guarantees with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to guarantees of repayment, future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services, and to secure advance payments from certain international customers. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were $47.2 million and $51.8 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, respectively, and $23.2 million and $6.9 million of bank guarantees outstanding, respectively.  In addition, the Corporation is required to provide the Nuclear Regulatory Commission financial assurance demonstrating its ability to cover the cost of decommissioning its Cheswick, Pennsylvania facility upon closure, though the Corporation does not intend to close this facility.  The Corporation has provided this financial assurance in the form of a $52.9 million surety bond.
AP1000 Program
The Corporation’s Electro-Mechanical Division is the reactor coolant pump (RCP) supplier for the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear power plants under construction in China and the United States.  The terms of the AP1000 China and United States contracts include liquidated damage penalty provisions for failure to meet contractual delivery dates if the Corporation caused the delay and the delay was not excusable.  On October 10, 2013, the Corporation received a letter from Westinghouse stating entitlements to the maximum amount of liquidated damages allowable under the AP1000 China contract from Westinghouse of approximately $25 million.  The Corporation would be liable for liquidated damages under the contract if certain contractual delivery dates were not met and if the Corporation was deemed responsible for the delay. To date, the Corporation has not met certain contractual delivery dates under its AP 1000 China contract; however there are significant uncertainties as to which parties are responsible for the delays.  The Corporation believes it has adequate legal defenses, and intends to vigorously defend this matter. Given the uncertainties surrounding the responsibility for the delays, no accrual has been made for this matter as of December 31, 2013.  The range of possible loss is $0 to $25 million.
U.S. Government Defense Budget/Sequestration
In January 2014, President Obama signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, an omnibus spending bill. The law provides $520.5 billion for defense and $491.7 billion for non-defense discretionary programs through September 30, 2014 and replaces what would have been the second round of across-the-board sequester cuts “sequestration” mandated by the 2011 Budget Control Act. The act provides for modest sequester relief in FY14 and provides the DoD additional stability and flexibility to entertain multi-year contracts. Despite these benefits, the DoD and contractors will still face significant challenges over the next decade as a result of sequestration. While such reductions to future DoD spending levels are largely undetermined, any reduction in levels of DoD spending, cancellations or delays impacting existing contracts or programs, including through sequestration, could have a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Corporation aligned its reportable segments with its end markets to strengthen its ability to service customers and recognize certain organizational efficiencies. As result of this realignment the Corporation has created three new reportable segments: Commercial/Industrial, Defense, and Energy. The Corporation's former Surface Technologies segment will be consolidated within the new Commercial/Industrial segment. In addition, the commercial businesses that were in the former Controls segment will also form part of the new Commercial/Industrial segment. The Corporation's defense businesses, which were primarily in the Corporation’s former Controls segment and to a lesser extent in the former Flow Control segment, will be consolidated within the new Defense segment. The Corporation's oil and gas businesses and its aftermarket nuclear power businesses, which were in the former Flow Control segment, will form the new Energy segment.
On January 10, 2014, the Corporation acquired 100% of the shares of Component Coating and Repair Services Limited (CCRS) for approximately £15 million (approximately $25 million) in cash, net of cash acquired. CCRS is a UK provider of corrosion resistant coatings and precision airfoil repair services for aerospace and industrial turbine applications.  The acquired business will operate within the Commercial/Industrial segment.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
A. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
B. Use of Estimates
The financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), which requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion accounting methods, the estimate of useful lives for property, plant, and equipment, cash flow estimates used for testing the recoverability of assets, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, warranty reserves, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
C. Revenue Recognition
The realization of revenue refers to the timing of its recognition in the accounts of the Corporation and is generally considered realized or realizable and earned when the earnings process is substantially complete and all of the following criteria are met: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; 3) the Corporation’s price to its customer is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured.
We determine the appropriate method by which we recognize revenue by analyzing the terms and conditions of each contract or arrangement entered into with our customers. Revenue is recognized on product sales as production units are shipped and title and risk of loss have transferred. Revenue is recognized on service type contracts as services are rendered. The significant estimates we make in recognizing revenue are primarily for long-term contracts generally accounted for using the cost-to-cost method of percentage of completion accounting that are associated with the design, development and manufacture of highly engineered industrial products used in commercial and defense applications. Under the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method of accounting, profits are recorded pro rata, based upon current estimates of direct and indirect costs to complete such contracts. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. The effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. A significant change in an estimate on one or more contracts could have a material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In 2013, there were no individual significant changes in estimated contract costs at completion. In 2012, the Corporation incurred unanticipated additional costs of $23.7 million on its long-term contract with Westinghouse for disassembly, inspection, and preparation for shipment costs related to the reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) that the Corporation is supplying for the AP1000 nuclear power plants in China. In addition, the Corporation recorded a cumulative catch up benefit of $14.2 million related to a change in estimate on its technology transfer contract on the AP1000 nuclear program. In 2011, the Corporation incurred unanticipated additional costs of $9.7 million to address a localized heating issue in the RCPs.
Losses on contracts are provided for in the period in which the losses become determinable and the excess of billings over cost and estimated earnings on long-term contracts is included in deferred revenue.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and commercial paper that are readily convertible into cash, all with original maturity dates of three months or less.
E. Inventory
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Production costs are comprised of direct material and labor and applicable manufacturing overhead.
F. Progress Payments
Certain long-term contracts provide for interim billings as costs are incurred on the respective contracts. Pursuant to contract provisions, agencies of the U.S. Government and other customers are granted title or a secured interest for materials and work-in-process included in inventory to the extent progress payments are received. Accordingly, these receipts have been reported as a reduction of unbilled receivables and inventories, as presented in Notes 4 and 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
G. Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the asset are expensed in the period they are incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Average useful lives for property, plant, and equipment are as follows:
Buildings and improvements
5 to 40 years
Machinery, equipment, and other
3 to 15 years
H. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are generally the result of acquisitions and consist primarily of purchased technology, customer related intangibles, trademarks, and technology licenses. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 1 to 20 years. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on other intangible assets.
I. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Corporation reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable. If required, the Corporation compares the estimated fair value determined by either the undiscounted future net cash flows or appraised value to the related asset’s carrying value to determine whether there has been an impairment. If an asset is considered impaired, the asset is written down to fair value, in the period in which the impairment becomes known. In 2013, the Corporation recognized an impairment of $0.9 million in General and administrative expenses related to certain fixed assets where it was determined that the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value. In 2012, the Corporation recognized an impairment of $5.0 million in General and administrative expenses, in connection with its 2012 restructuring plan, a component of which was exiting a facility.
J. Goodwill
Goodwill results from business acquisitions. The Corporation accounts for business acquisitions by allocating the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated is recorded as goodwill. The recoverability of goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not result in an impairment. The impairment test is based on the estimated fair value of the underlying businesses. The Corporation’s goodwill impairment test is performed as of October 31 of each year. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on goodwill.
K. Pre-Contract Costs
The Corporation, from time to time, incurs costs to begin fulfilling the statement of work under a specific anticipated contract that has yet to be obtained from a customer. If it is determined that the recoveries of these costs are probable, the costs will be capitalized, excluding any start-up costs which are expensed as incurred. When circumstances change and the contract is no longer deemed probable, the capitalized costs will be recognized in earnings. Capitalized pre-contract costs were $1.8 million and $3.0 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
L. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting guidance requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Due to the short maturities of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, the net book value of these financial instruments is deemed to approximate fair value. See Notes 9 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information
M. Research and Development
The Corporation funds research and development programs for commercial products and independent research and development and bid and proposal work related to government contracts. Development costs include engineering and field support for new customer requirements. Corporation-sponsored research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Research and development costs associated with customer-sponsored programs are capitalized to inventory and are recorded in cost of sales when products are delivered or services performed. Funds received under shared development contracts are a reduction of the total development expenditures under the shared contract and are shown net as research and development costs.
N. Environmental Costs
The Corporation establishes a reserve for a potential environmental remediation liability on a site by site basis when it concludes that a determination of legal liability is probable and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on current law and existing technologies. Such amounts, if quantifiable, reflect the Corporation’s estimate of the amount of that liability. If only a range of potential liability can be estimated and no amount within the range is more probable than another, a reserve will be established at the low end of that range. At sites involving multiple parties, the Corporation accrues environmental liabilities based upon its expected share of the liability, taking into account the financial viability of other jointly liable partners. Such reserves are adjusted as assessment and remediation efforts progress or as additional information becomes available. Approximately 27% of the Corporation’s environmental reserves as of December 31, 2013, represent the current value of anticipated remediation costs and are not discounted primarily due to the uncertainty of timing of expenditures. The remaining environmental reserves are discounted to reflect the time value of money since the amount and timing of cash payments for the liability are reliably determinable. All environmental reserves exclude any potential recovery from insurance carriers or third-party legal actions. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
O. Accounting for Share-Based Payments
The Corporation follows the fair value based method of accounting for share-based employee compensation, which requires the Corporation to expense all share-based employee compensation. Share-based employee compensation is a non-cash expense since the Corporation settles these obligations by issuing the shares of Curtiss-Wright Corporation instead of settling such obligations with cash payments.
Compensation expense for all non-qualified share options, performance shares, performance-based restricted shares, time-based restricted stock, and performance-based restricted stock units is recognized on a graded schedule over the requisite service period for the entire award based on the grant date fair value.
P. Earnings Per Share
The Corporation is required to report both basic earnings per share (EPS), based on the weighted-average number of Common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, based on the basic EPS adjusted for all potentially dilutive shares issuable. The calculation of EPS is disclosed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Q. Income Taxes
The Corporation accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws is recognized in the results of operations in the period the new laws are enacted. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.
The Corporation records amounts related to uncertain income tax positions by 1) prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and 2) the measurement of the income tax benefits recognized from such positions. The Corporation’s accounting policy is to classify uncertain income tax positions that are not expected to be resolved in one year as a non-current income tax liability and to classify interest and penalties as a component of Interest expense and General and administrative expenses, respectively. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
R. Foreign Currency
For operations outside the United States of America that prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Corporation translates assets and liabilities at period-end exchange rates and income statement amounts using weighted-average exchange rates for the period. The cumulative effect of translation adjustments is presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. This balance is affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and by the acquisition of foreign entities. Gains and (losses) from foreign currency transactions are included in General and administrative expenses within the results of operations, which amounted to $2.6 million, $(2.3) million, and $(0.8) million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
S. Derivatives
Forward Foreign Exchange and Currency Option Contracts
The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward exchange and currency option contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions. The purpose of the Corporation’s foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused by exchange rate fluctuations. All of the derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments, with the gain or loss on these transactions recorded into earnings in the period in which they occur. These gains and (losses) are classified as General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and amounted to $(6.2) million, $0.9 million, and $(0.7) million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Corporation does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies
The Corporation’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Corporation periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage such exposures. Under these interest rate swaps, the Corporation exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.
For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges (i.e., hedges against the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt due to changes in market interest rates.
Other Comprehensive Income:  Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In February 2013, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance.  The new guidance requires entities to disclose the effect of each item that was reclassified in its entirety out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income on each affected net income line item.  For reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross-reference to other required disclosures is required. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those years.  The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

LineOfCreditFacilityInterestRateDescription
Borrowings under the credit agreement will accrue interest based on (i) Libor or (ii) a base rate of the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) BofA’s announced prime rate, or (c) the Eurocurrency rate plus 1%, plus a margin. The interest rate and level of facility fees are dependent on certain financial ratios, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also provides customary fees, including administrative agent and commitment fees. In connection with the Credit Agreement, we paid customary transaction fees that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement.
