OUR COMPANY

We design, manufacture and service technologically sophisticated systems
and products for our customers through our Energy Production Systems, Energy
Processing Systems, FoodTech and Airport Systems segments. Energy Production
Systems is a leading supplier of systems and services used in the offshore,
particularly deepwater, exploration and production of crude oil and natural
gas. Energy Processing Systems is a leading provider of specialized systems and
products to customers involved in the production, transportation and processing
of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum-based products. FoodTech is a
leading supplier of technologically sophisticated food handling and processing
systems and products to industrial food processing companies. Airport Systems
provides technologically advanced equipment and services for airlines, airports
and air freight companies. During the year ended December 31, 2000, we
generated $1,875.2 million of revenue after intercompany eliminations. In 2000,
Energy Production Systems and Energy Processing Systems, which we collectively
refer to as our Energy Systems businesses, generated $1,037.3 million of
revenue after intercompany eliminations, resulting in a 14.5% compound annual
growth rate since 1994. FoodTech and Airport Systems generated $573.3 million
and $267.2 million of revenue in 2000, respectively, resulting in compound
annual growth rates of 10.4% and 12.5% since 1994, respectively.

Energy Production Systems is a global leader in the provision of subsea
drilling and production systems, including subsea tree systems that control the
flow of crude oil and natural gas from the well, systems for floating
production solutions and surface drilling and production systems, to oil and
gas companies involved in the exploration and production of crude oil and
natural gas. Many of the systems that we provide are for use in the
exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas reserves
located in technologically challenging deepwater environments, which involve
water depths of greater than 1,000 feet. Worldwide exploration and production
spending by oil and gas companies has increased from approximately $43.7
billion in 1994 to approximately $91.0 billion in 2000, representing a compound
annual growth rate of 13.0%. In addition, worldwide exploration and production
spending is expected to increase an estimated 18.1% in 2001 to approximately
$107.5 billion. More specifically, an external industry survey published in
early 2000 projected that subsea tree installations would increase at a
compound annual growth rate of 17.0% between 2000 and 2004.

In subsea systems, our largest business area:

. We are a major supplier of subsea tree systems and associated services
to five of the eight companies that are projected to be the most
active developers of subsea oil and gas over the next five years based
on projected subsea tree installations. In addition, during the first
quarter of 2001, we entered into a five-year alliance with BP p.l.c.
regarding its deepwater development programs in the Gulf of Mexico.
Although BP has not historically accounted for a significant

portion of our revenue, this alliance is anticipated to generate $250
million in revenue and is renewable for an additional five years.

. Since 1995, we have installed, or been awarded contracts for the
installation of, more subsea tree systems than any other manufacturer.

. We set six of the ten water depth records established since 1987 for
subsea tree installations.

Although trends in the demand for and price of crude oil and natural gas
affect oil and gas industry activity and expenditure levels and thereby the
demand for the systems and services supplied by our Energy Systems businesses,
short-term market cycles and volatile commodity prices generally have affected
Energy Production Systems' financial performance less than the financial
performance of companies operating in other sectors of the oilfield services
industry. We believe that, due to their long lead times and high potential
returns, the deepwater projects in which our systems are used typically are not
the marginal projects that are more likely to be subject to cancellation or
delay during periods of low crude oil and natural gas prices. In addition, we
believe that our Energy Systems businesses are less capital intensive than
companies operating in other sectors of the oilfield services industry due to
factors such as high engineering content, outsourcing of certain low value-
added manufacturing and advance payments received from customers.

Energy Processing Systems designs, manufactures and supplies
technologically advanced high pressure valves and fittings for oilfield
services customers as well as liquid and gas measurement and transportation
equipment and systems to customers involved in the transportation and
processing of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum-based products. We
are a leading supplier of flowline products. These high-pressure fittings,
valves and pumps are used by other oilfield services companies in the high-
pressure pumping of corrosive fracturing fluid into a well during the well
servicing process. We are also a leading supplier of measurement systems and
services for the precise, cost-effective measurement of crude oil and natural
gas. In addition, we are a leading supplier of marine and land-based fluid
loading and transfer systems, including liquefied natural gas loading arms.
Finally, we also develop and manufacture turnkey systems used primarily for the
blending and transfer of lubricants, petroleum, chemicals and paints.

The combination of Energy Production Systems and Energy Processing
Systems provides us the ability to offer our customers a broad spectrum of
systems, equipment and services. The value to us of this broad spectrum of
offerings is evidenced by the number of orders from our customers for products
and services from both Energy Production Systems and Energy Processing Systems.

FoodTech is a leading supplier of technologically sophisticated handling
and processing systems and services used for, among other things, convenience
food preparation and citrus juice extraction for industrial food processors.
Our products include citrus juice extraction equipment, commercial freezing
systems and sterilization systems. We believe that our equipment processes
approximately 75% of the global production of orange juice, freezes
approximately 50% of commercially frozen foods on a global basis and sterilizes
a significant portion of the world's canned foods.

Airport Systems designs, manufactures and services technologically
advanced ground support equipment and systems for airlines, airports and air
freight companies. We invented airline passenger boarding bridges and remain
the leading supplier of this product. We believe that we also have the world's
largest installed base of air cargo loaders.

OUR INDUSTRIES

The primary factor influencing demand for our exploration and production
systems and services, as well as our measurement and transportation equipment
and services, is the level of exploration and production spending by oil and
gas companies, particularly with respect to offshore activities worldwide.
Exploration and production spending levels, in turn, depend primarily on
current and anticipated future crude oil and natural gas prices, production
volumes and oil and gas company operating costs. Worldwide exploration and
production spending is expected to increase approximately 18.1% in 2001, and
subsea tree installations are projected to increase at a compound annual growth
rate of 17.0% between 2000 and 2004.

In addition, exploration and production companies are increasingly
focusing their efforts on more remote deepwater areas where geological
formations have been less explored. The recent and anticipated increase in
exploration and production activity in deepwater areas is evidenced by:

. an increase in major oil and gas company spending for deepwater
exploration and production from approximately 22% of total exploration
and production budgets in 1994 to approximately 50% in 2000;

. since 1994, the addition of 41 new drilling rigs that are capable of
operating in water depths greater than 5,000 feet at a typical cost of
between $160 million and $380 million per rig, representing
approximately a six-fold increase from 1994 levels of drilling rigs
with equivalent water depth capabilities; and

. an increase in the number of deepwater crude oil and natural gas
discoveries, from 16 in 1994 to 68 in 1999.

The reduction in development costs of crude oil and natural gas and the
development of efficient technological solutions in response to the extreme
environmental and logistical challenges posed by deepwater have been, and we
believe will continue to be, major factors influencing the growth of the subsea
oilfield services industry. Also, consolidation among oil and gas companies,
and the resulting cost-cutting initiatives, have led oil and gas companies to
outsource more functions that they previously performed internally. These
factors have driven three principal ongoing trends:

. technological improvements and refined installation techniques;

. growth in the use of subsea systems and services; and

. delivery of more integrated systems of related products and services
for subsea developments.

As with the exploration and production industry, positive growth trends
and further consolidation are forecast for the food processing industry served
by FoodTech.

. Demand in several segments of the convenience food industry that we
serve is expected to continue to grow. For example, worldwide retail
sales of frozen ready-meals are forecast to increase at a compound
annual rate of 4.5% through 2005.

. Food retailers are consolidating and increasing their purchasing
power. In response, our food processing customers are seeking
technologically sophisticated integrated systems and services like
those we provide to maximize the efficiency of their operations, while
maintaining high standards of food safety.

The air transportation industry served by Airport Systems is also
undergoing change.

. The worldwide fleet of airplanes is expected to grow at a compound
annual rate of 4.3% through 2019.

. The airline industry has become increasingly consolidated through
mergers and alliances. For example, five airline alliances currently
represent approximately 50% of total worldwide passenger traffic.

We believe that these trends will continue to result in both FoodTech's
and Airport Systems' customers outsourcing an increasing amount of non-core
services and seeking out suppliers to provide integrated systems and products
that are technologically advanced, cost-efficient and supported by extensive
service capabilities.

OUR GROWTH STRATEGY

We intend to pursue a growth strategy based on maintaining leading
positions in our markets by providing differentiated technological solutions
for our customers and capitalizing on our extensive customer relationships.

From 1994 to 2000, our Energy Systems businesses' revenue and operating
profit increased at compound annual rates of 14.5% and 31.8%, respectively.
During that same period, FoodTech's revenue and segment operating profit
increased at compound annual rates of 10.4% and 24.1%, respectively. From 1994
to 2000, Airport Systems' revenue increased at a compound annual rate of 12.5%,
while segment operating profit increased from a loss of $0.8 million in 1994 to
a profit of $15.2 million in 2000.

We believe that growth in Energy Production Systems is based upon our
ability to supply the integrated systems required by the high-growth deepwater
sector of the exploration and production industry. We expect that demand for
these systems will continue to increase as exploration and production of crude
oil and natural gas in technologically challenging deepwater and remote areas
increases.

We believe that growth in Energy Processing Systems will result from many
of the same factors that will influence the growth of Energy Production
Systems. As worldwide production of and demand for crude oil and natural gas
increases, demand for our systems and services that facilitate the production,
transportation and measurement of these commodities also tends to increase.
Energy Processing Systems' growth will also be based upon our ability to
maintain our position as a supplier of high-pressure fittings and valves. The
demand for these products is impacted by our customers' need to replace these
products due to the corrosive nature of the fluid they transport.

In addition to benefiting from the expected growth in the business areas
we serve, we intend to pursue select, complementary acquisitions and the
following internal growth strategy:

. DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN ALLIANCES WITH KEY CUSTOMERS. We intend to expand
our current alliances and form new alliances with other companies
active in the oil and gas industry.

. PROVIDE A BROAD PACKAGE OF SYSTEMS AND SERVICES. We intend to develop
and acquire additional systems and services that complement our
current offerings and leverage our worldwide infrastructure in order
to continue to provide integrated solutions to our customers'
exploration and production needs through a single-source package of
related systems and services.

We believe that FoodTech's and Airport Systems' historic growth, in large
part, resulted from providing technology-based systems and products for our
customers. In both of these segments, we intend to continue to broaden the
scope of the systems, equipment and services that we provide. We further intend
to leverage our large installed base of products and systems to enhance
customer relationships, generate new business and grow our aftermarket
equipment and services operations. From 1994 to 2000, FoodTech's and Airport
Systems' aftermarket revenue increased at compound annual rates of
approximately 11.7% and approximately 7.3%, respectively.

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FMC CORPORATION

We are currently a wholly owned subsidiary of FMC Corporation, which, in
addition to our operations, is a diversified producer of industrial chemicals,
specialty chemicals and agricultural products. After the completion of this
offering, FMC Corporation will own approximately 83.0% of our outstanding
common stock, or approximately 80.9% if the underwriters exercise their
overallotment option in full.

FMC Corporation has advised us that it currently intends to distribute
its remaining ownership interest in us to common stockholders of FMC
Corporation. If completed, the distribution, as previously announced, is
expected to take the form of a spin-off in which FMC Corporation distributes
all of our common stock that it owns through a special dividend to FMC
Corporation common stockholders. If circumstances change, FMC Corporation may
distribute its remaining ownership interest in us through an exchange offer by
FMC Corporation, in which its common stockholders would be offered the option
of tendering some or all of their shares in exchange for our common stock, and
a subsequent spin-off of FMC Corporation's remaining ownership interest in us.
FMC Corporation has advised us that it does not intend to complete the
distribution unless it receives a favorable tax ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service as to the tax-free nature of the distribution for U.S. Federal
income tax purposes and the final approval of the Board of Directors of FMC
Corporation, among other conditions. FMC Corporation has also advised us that
it currently anticipates that the distribution will occur by the end of
calendar year 2001.

FMC Corporation has advised us that the final determination as to the
completion, timing, structure and terms of the distribution will be based on
financial and business considerations and prevailing market conditions. In
addition, FMC Corporation has advised us that, as permitted by the separation
and distribution agreement, it will not complete the distribution if its Board
of Directors determines that the distribution is not in the best interests of
FMC Corporation and its stockholders. FMC Corporation has the sole discretion
to determine whether or not to complete the distribution and, if it decides to
complete the distribution, to determine the timing, structure and terms of the
distribution.

We believe that we will realize benefits from our separation from FMC
Corporation, including the following:

. MORE FOCUSED, ENTREPRENEURIAL APPROACH. As a smaller company with
fewer business units and a Board of Directors and management team
focused on our business, we expect to be in a better position to grow
our business areas and serve our customers more effectively through
quicker decision making, more efficient deployment of resources,
increased operational agility and enhanced responsiveness to customers
and markets.

. BETTER MARKET RECOGNITION OF THE VALUE OF OUR BUSINESS. As a separate,
stand-alone company, we will offer a more focused investment
opportunity than that currently presented by a more diversified FMC
Corporation. We expect that this will promote a more efficient equity
valuation of our business than if we were to be valued as a part of a
larger, more diversified company.

. INCENTIVES FOR EMPLOYEES MORE DIRECTLY LINKED TO OUR PERFORMANCE. We
expect to enhance our employees' motivation and to strengthen our
management's focus through incentive compensation programs tied to the
market performance of our common stock. The separation will enable us
to offer our employees compensation more directly linked to the
performance of our business than when we were a part of FMC
Corporation, which we expect will enhance our ability to attract and
retain qualified personnel.

. INCREASED ABILITY TO PURSUE STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS. With enhanced
market recognition of the value of our businesses, we expect to be
better positioned to pursue strategic acquisitions to grow our
businesses.

We have entered into agreements with FMC Corporation related to the
separation of our business operations from FMC Corporation. These agreements
provide for, among other things, the transfer from FMC Corporation to us of
assets, and the assumption by us of liabilities, primarily relating to our
business. As of the date of this prospectus, the transfer of assets and
liabilities has been substantially completed. For more information regarding
the assets and liabilities transferred to us, see "Arrangements Between FMC
Technologies and FMC Corporation" and our combined financial statements and the
notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this prospectus.

As of March 31, 2001, we expect to distribute $477.9 million to FMC
Corporation in exchange for the net assets transferred to us in accordance with
the separation and distribution agreement, calculated as follows:

(in millions)

Net proceeds from this offering....................................... $204.5

======

The actual distribution to FMC Corporation will be further adjusted for
changes affecting the components identified above subsequent to March 31, 2001,
in accordance with the separation and distribution agreement.

The agreements between FMC Corporation and us also govern our various
interim and ongoing relationships. All of the agreements relating to the
separation were made in the context of a parent-subsidiary relationship and
were negotiated in the overall context of the separation from FMC Corporation.
The terms of these agreements may be more or less favorable to us than if they
had been negotiated with unaffiliated third parties. See "Risk Factors--Risks
Related to Our Relationship with FMC Corporation" and "Arrangements Between FMC

--------
(1) Our historical capital structure is not indicative of our prospective
capital structure and, accordingly, historical earnings per share
information has not been presented. Pro forma unaudited as adjusted diluted
earnings per common share from continuing operations in 2000 is computed
using unaudited pro forma as adjusted income from continuing operations
divided by 66,042,432, which for pro forma diluted earnings per share
purposes is the assumed number of shares of our common stock outstanding
after this offering. This share amount is calculated assuming that (a)
prior to this offering 53,950,000 shares of our common stock are
outstanding, (b) 11,050,000 shares are sold in this offering and (c) the
pro forma dilutive effect of our restricted stock to be granted to our
employees and to the Chairman of our Board of Directors in replacement of
FMC Corporation restricted stock is 1,042,432 shares, calculated based on
the weighted average number of shares of FMC Corporation restricted stock
outstanding at any time during 2000 and using FMC Corporation's average
2000 stock price and our offering price of $20.00 per share. Pro forma
unaudited as adjusted diluted loss per common share from continuing
operations in 2001 is computed using unaudited pro forma as adjusted loss
from continuing operations divided by 65,000,000, which for pro forma
diluted loss per share purposes is the assumed number of shares of our
common stock outstanding after this offering with reference to (a) and (b)
above. The pro forma effect of our restricted stock described in (c) above
is antidilutive in 2001 and is therefore not included in the calculation.
(2) EBITDA from continuing operations consists of income from continuing
operations before interest and income taxes and before the cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle, plus depreciation of property,
plant and equipment, amortization of other long-term assets, primarily
intangibles of acquired companies, and asset impairments. EBITDA from
continuing operations is not a measure of financial performance under
generally accepted accounting principles. You should not consider it in
isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income or cash flow measures
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as
a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, our EBITDA from
continuing operations calculation may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures of other companies. We have included EBITDA from continuing
operations as a supplemental disclosure because it may provide useful
information regarding our ability to service debt and to fund capital
expenditures. Our ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures in
the future, however, may be affected by other operating or legal
requirements.
(3) Order backlog is calculated as the estimated sales value of unfilled,
confirmed customer orders at the reporting date.
(4) Average segment operating capital employed is a two-point average of
segment operating capital employed as of the beginning and end of the
period. Segment operating capital employed represents segment assets less
segment liabilities. Segment assets exclude corporate and other assets,
which are principally cash equivalents, last-in, first-out inventory
reserves, deferred income tax benefits, intercompany eliminations,
property, plant and equipment not attributable to a specific segment and
credits relating to the sale of receivables. Segment liabilities exclude
substantially all debt, income taxes, pension and other postretirement
benefit liabilities, restructuring reserves, intercompany eliminations,
reserves for discontinued operations and deferred gains on the sale and
leaseback of equipment. Average segment operating capital employed is not a
measure of financial position under generally accepted accounting
principles. You should not consider it in isolation from, or as a
substitute for, stockholder's equity prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles or as a measure of financial position. Our
management views average segment operating capital employed as a primary
measure of segment capital.
(5) Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2001 included $3.3
million related to the repatriation of foreign-held cash in connection with
our separation from FMC Corporation.
(6) Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001 is net of the after-tax
charge related to the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
of $4.7 million.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risks and the other
information contained in this prospectus, including the combined financial
statements and related notes, before investing in our common stock. If any of
the events described below were to occur, our business, prospects, financial
condition, results of operations or cash flow could be materially adversely
affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline,
and you could lose all or part of your investment.

INDUSTRY-RELATED RISKS

DEMAND FOR THE SYSTEMS AND SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR ENERGY SYSTEMS BUSINESSES
DEPENDS ON OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY ACTIVITY AND EXPENDITURE LEVELS, WHICH ARE
DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY TRENDS IN THE DEMAND FOR AND PRICE OF CRUDE OIL AND
NATURAL GAS.

Our Energy Systems businesses are substantially dependent on conditions
in the oil and gas industry and that industry's willingness and ability to
spend capital on the exploration for and development of crude oil and natural
gas. Any substantial or extended decline in these expenditures may result in
the reduced discovery and development of new reserves of crude oil and natural
gas and the reduced exploitation of existing wells, which could adversely
affect demand for the systems and services of both Energy Production Systems
and Energy Processing Systems. The level of these capital expenditures is
generally dependent on current and anticipated crude oil and natural gas
prices, which have been characterized by significant volatility in recent
years. Crude oil and natural gas prices are affected by many factors,
including:

. the level of exploration and production activity;

. worldwide economic activity;

. interest rates and the cost of capital;

. environmental regulation;

. the policies of national governments with respect to energy and crude
oil and natural gas exploration and production, including taxation
and other related legislation;

. actions taken by, and effectiveness of coordination among, members of
the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC;

. the cost of producing crude oil and natural gas;

. the cost of developing alternative energy sources;

. weather conditions; and

. technological advances.

DEMAND FOR FOODTECH'S AND AIRPORT SYSTEMS' SYSTEMS AND SERVICES IS
SIGNIFICANTLY DEPENDENT UPON OUR CUSTOMERS' EXPENDITURES FOR CAPITAL EQUIPMENT,
AND A PROLONGED SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN THOSE EXPENDITURES COULD ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE DEMAND FOR OUR SYSTEMS AND SERVICES.

FoodTech and Airport Systems are greatly affected by changes in the
levels of expenditures for capital equipment by companies operating in the
industries we serve. These changes are influenced by a number of factors, many
of which are beyond our control, such as our customers' overall profitability.
Additionally, factors, such as the demand for processed and frozen foods,
conditions in the agricultural sector affecting prices and public perception of
food safety and contamination, influence FoodTech's food processing customers'
expenditures for capital equipment. Factors influencing the level of
expenditures for capital equipment by Airport Systems' air transportation
customers include jet fuel prices, the level of passenger and air freight
activity and changes in foreign and domestic regulation of the air
transportation industry. If expenditures for capital equipment by either the
food processing industry or air transportation industry decline, FoodTech or
Airport Systems may experience reduced demand for our systems and services. A
prolonged or widespread reduction in the demand for FoodTech's or Airport
Systems' systems and services could have a significant adverse impact on our
results of operations or our financial condition.

WE MAY LOSE MONEY ON FIXED-PRICE CONTRACTS.

As is customary for several of the business areas in which we operate,
many of our long-term contracts with our customers are performed on a fixed-
price basis. Under these contracts, we are typically responsible for all cost
overruns, other than the amount of any cost overruns resulting from requested
changes in order specifications. Our actual costs and any gross profit realized
on these fixed-price contracts will often vary from the estimated amounts on
which these contracts were originally based. This may occur for various
reasons, including:

. errors in estimates or bidding;

. changes in availability and cost of labor and materials; and

. variations in productivity from our original estimates.

These variations and the risks inherent in our projects may result in
reduced profitability or losses on projects. Depending on the size of a
project, variations from estimated contract performance could have a
significant impact on our operating results.

THE INDUSTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE OR HAVE OPERATED EXPOSE US TO POTENTIAL
LIABILITIES THAT MAY NOT BE COVERED BY INSURANCE.

Our Energy Systems businesses are subject to inherent risks, such as
equipment defects, malfunctions and failures, equipment misuse and natural
disasters that can result in uncontrollable flows of gas or well fluids, fires
and explosions. These risks could expose us to substantial liability for
personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, property damage, pollution
and other environmental damages. Through FoodTech and Airport Systems, we are
also subject to potential liabilities arising from sources, such as the
manufacture and use of food processing and air transportation systems and
services. The use of our systems or services could subject us to significant
liability for personal injury, wrongful death, product liability or commercial
claims. Although we have obtained insurance against many of these risks, we
cannot assure you that our insurance will be adequate to cover our liabilities.
Further, we cannot assure you that insurance will be generally available in the
future or, if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If we
incur substantial liability and the damages are not covered by insurance or are
in excess of policy limits, or if we were to incur liability at a time when we
are not able to obtain liability insurance, our business, results of operations
or financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition,
under the terms of the separation and distribution agreement, we have retained
specified self-insured product liabilities associated with selected
discontinued businesses of FMC Corporation related to past operations,
primarily the construction equipment, marine and rail and mining equipment
divisions.

OUR CUSTOMERS' INDUSTRIES ARE UNDERGOING CONTINUING CONSOLIDATION THAT MAY
IMPACT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Each of the oil and gas, food processing and air transportation
industries is rapidly consolidating. As a result, some of our largest customers
have consolidated and are using their size and purchasing power to seek
economies of scale and pricing concessions. This consolidation may result in
reduced capital spending by customers or the acquisition of one or more of our
primary customers, which may lead to decreased demand for our systems and
services. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our level of
sales to a customer that has consolidated or replace that revenue with
increased business activity with other customers. As a result, the acquisition
of one or more of our primary customers may have a significant negative impact
on our results of operations or our financial condition. We are unable to
predict what effect consolidations in the industry may have on price, capital
spending by our customers, our selling strategies, our competitive position,
our ability to retain customers or our ability to negotiate favorable
agreements with our customers.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE WITH OTHER COMPANIES IN OUR
INDUSTRIES.

The oilfield services, food processing equipment and air transportation
equipment industries are highly competitive. Some of our competitors are large
national and multinational companies that may have significantly greater
financial resources than we do. Like us, many of our competitors offer a wide
variety of

systems and services. If these competitors substantially increase the resources
they devote to developing and marketing competitive systems and services, we
may not be able to compete effectively. Similarly, consolidation among our
competitors could enhance their system and service offerings and financial
resources, further intensifying competition.

OUR OPERATIONS AND OUR CUSTOMERS' OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO A VARIETY OF
GOVERNMENTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS THAT MAY INCREASE OUR COSTS, LIMIT THE DEMAND
FOR OUR SYSTEMS AND SERVICES OR RESTRICT OUR OPERATIONS.

Our business and our customers' businesses may be significantly affected
by:

. U.S. Federal, state and local and foreign laws and other regulations
relating to the oil and gas, food processing and air transportation
industries and companies operating globally;

. changes in these laws and regulations; and

. the level of enforcement of these laws and regulations.

We depend on the demand for our systems and services from oil and gas
companies. This demand is affected by changing taxes, price controls and other
laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry. For example, the
adoption of laws and regulations curtailing exploration and development for
drilling for crude oil and natural gas in our areas of operation for economic,
environmental or other policy reasons could adversely affect our operations by
limiting demand for our systems and services.

In light of our foreign operations and sales, we are also subject to
changes in foreign laws and regulations that may encourage or require hiring of
local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or
purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. If we fail to comply with
any applicable law or regulation, our business, results of operations or
financial condition may be adversely affected.

OUR BUSINESSES AND OUR CUSTOMERS' BUSINESSES ARE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
AND REGULATION THAT MAY INCREASE OUR COSTS, LIMIT THE DEMAND FOR OUR SYSTEMS
AND SERVICES OR RESTRICT OUR OPERATIONS.

Our operations and the operations of our customers are also subject to
U.S. Federal, state and local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the
protection of the environment. These environmental laws and regulations affect
the systems and services we design, market and sell, as well as the facilities
where we manufacture our systems. In addition, environmental laws and
regulations could limit our customers' exploration and production activities.
We are required to invest financial and managerial resources to comply with
environmental laws and regulations and anticipate that we will continue to be
required to do so in the future. These laws and regulations change frequently,
which makes it impossible for us to predict their cost or impact on our future
operations. The modification of existing laws or regulations or the adoption of
new laws or regulations imposing more stringent environmental restrictions
could adversely affect our operations.

Current environmental laws and regulations restrict the amount and types
of substances that we can release into the environment. Compliance with these
and any future environmental laws and regulations could require significant
capital investments in pollution control equipment or changes in the way we
make our systems. In addition, because we use hazardous and other regulated
materials in our product development programs and manufacturing processes, we
are subject to risks of accidental contamination, personal injury claims and
civil and criminal fines. For example:

. We are currently remediating two plant sites for which we have
reserved approximately $3.3 million.

. We are a potentially responsible party at several disposal sites for
which we estimate the aggregate liability will be immaterial.

. We have agreed to indemnify FMC Corporation for any liability
associated with contamination from past operations at all properties
to be transferred from FMC Corporation to us and at selected sites
used in our former businesses for which we are not aware of any
material liability.

Some environmental laws and regulations provide for joint and several
liability for remediation of spills and releases of hazardous substances. In
addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property
damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances, as well as
damage to natural resources. These laws and regulations also may expose us to
liability for the conduct of, or conditions caused by, others, or for our acts
that were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations at the time the
acts were performed. Any of these laws and regulations could result in claims,
fines or expenditures that could be material to our earnings, financial
condition or cash flow.

BUSINESS-RELATED RISKS

DISRUPTIONS IN THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE FOREIGN COUNTRIES
IN WHICH WE CONDUCT BUSINESS OR FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES
COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

We operate significant manufacturing facilities in 12 countries other
than the United States, and our international operations account for
approximately 61% of our 2000 revenue. Multiple factors relating to our
international operations and to particular countries in which we operate could
have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
These factors include:

. changes in political, regulatory or economic conditions;

. trade protection measures and price controls;

. import or export licensing requirements;

. economic downturns, civil disturbances or political instability;

. currency restrictions;

. nationalization and expropriation; and

. potentially burdensome taxation.

Because a significant portion of our revenue is denominated in foreign
currencies, changes in exchange rates will result in increases or decreases in
our costs and earnings, and may also affect the book value of our assets
located outside the United States and the amount of our stockholders' equity.
We prepare our combined financial statements in U.S. dollars, but a significant
portion of our earnings and expenditures are denominated in other currencies.
Although we may seek to minimize our currency exposure by engaging in hedging
transactions where we deem it appropriate, we cannot assure you that our
efforts will be successful. To the extent we sell our systems and services in
foreign markets, currency fluctuations may result in our systems and services
becoming too expensive for foreign customers.

WE EXPECT TO SUPPLEMENT OUR INTERNAL GROWTH THROUGH STRATEGIC COMBINATIONS, AND
OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE, OPERATE AND
MANAGE THESE ACQUIRED BUSINESSES AND ASSETS.

We expect to supplement our internal growth through strategic
combinations, asset purchases and other transactions that complement or expand
our existing businesses. Each of these transactions involves a number of risks,
including:

. the diversion of our management's attention from our existing
businesses to integrating the operations and personnel of the
acquired or combined business or joint venture;

. possible adverse effects on our operating results during the
integration process; and

. our possible inability to achieve the intended objectives of the
transaction.

We may hire additional employees in connection with these acquisitions or
joint ventures. We may not be able to successfully integrate all of the newly
hired employees, or profitably integrate, operate, maintain and manage our
newly acquired operations in a competitive environment. We may not be able to
maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, and this may
lead to operational inefficiencies.

We may seek to finance an acquisition through borrowings or through the
issuance of new debt or equity securities. If we make a relatively large
acquisition, we could deplete a substantial portion of our financial resources
to the possible detriment of our other operations. Any future acquisitions
could also dilute the equity interests of our stockholders, require us to
write off assets for accounting purposes or create other undesirable
accounting results, such as significant expenses for amortization or
impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets.

DUE TO THE TYPE OF CONTRACTS WE ENTER INTO, THE CUMULATIVE LOSS OF SEVERAL
MAJOR CONTRACTS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

We often enter into large, project-oriented contracts or long-term
equipment leases that, collectively, represent a significant portion of our
revenues. These agreements may be terminated or breached, or our customers may
fail to renew these agreements. If we were to lose several key agreements over
a relatively short period of time and if we were to fail to develop
alternative business opportunities, we could experience a significant adverse
impact on our results of operations or our financial condition.

LOSS OF OUR KEY MANAGEMENT AND OTHER PERSONNEL COULD IMPACT OUR BUSINESS.

We depend on our senior executive officers and other key personnel. The
loss of any of these officers or key personnel could adversely affect our
operations. In addition, competition for qualified employees among companies
that rely heavily on engineering and technology is intense, and the loss of
qualified employees or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional
highly skilled employees required for the operation and expansion of our
business could hinder our ability to conduct research activities successfully
and develop marketable systems and services.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY COMPETING TECHNOLOGY.

Technology is an important component of our business and growth
strategy, and our success as a company depends to a significant extent on the
development and implementation of new product designs and improvements.
Whether we can continue to develop systems and services and related
technologies to meet evolving industry requirements and, if so, at prices
acceptable to our customers will be significant factors in determining our
ability to compete in the industries in which we operate. Many of our
competitors are large national and multinational companies that may have
significantly greater financial resources than we have, and they may be able
to devote greater resources to research and development of new systems,
services and technologies than we are able to do. Moreover, some of our
competitors operate in narrow business areas, allowing them to concentrate
their research and development efforts directly on products and services for
those areas.

OUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING U.S. GOVERNMENT
CONTRACTS OR THE TERMS OF ANY EXISTING OR FUTURE U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
THAT WE ENTER INTO COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

We have an agreement relating to the sale of our Next Generation Small
Loader, which is a commercial air cargo loader, to the U.S. Air Force, and as
a result we are subject to various laws and regulations that apply to
companies doing business with the U.S. government. The laws governing U.S.
government contracts differ in several respects from the laws governing
private contracts. For example, many U.S. government contracts contain pricing
terms and conditions that are not applicable to private contracts. Moreover,
U.S. defense contracts, in particular, are unilaterally terminable at the
option of the U.S. government with compensation for work completed and costs
incurred. Contracts with the U.S. government are also subject to special laws
and regulations, the noncompliance with which may result in various sanctions.
Contractors, sometimes without their knowledge, are subject to investigations
by the U.S. government initiated in various ways.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FMC CORPORATION

OUR HISTORICAL FINANCIAL RESULTS AS BUSINESS SEGMENTS OF FMC CORPORATION MAY
NOT BE REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR RESULTS AS A SEPARATE, STAND-ALONE ENTITY.

The historical financial information we have included in this prospectus
has been carved out from FMC Corporation's consolidated financial statements
and does not reflect what our financial position, results of

operations or cash flows would have been had we been a separate, stand-alone
entity during the periods presented. FMC Corporation did not account for us,
and we were not operated, as a separate, stand-alone entity for the historical
periods presented. Our historical costs and expenses reflected on our combined
financial statements include an allocation of the historical costs and expenses
that FMC Corporation incurred in connection with corporate and general
administrative services. This allocation is based on what we and FMC
Corporation consider to be reasonable reflections of the historical utilization
levels of these services required in support of our businesses. The historical
information does not necessarily indicate what our results of operations,
financial position, cash flows or costs and expenses will be in the future. We
have not made adjustments to reflect many significant changes that may occur in
our cost structure, funding and operations as a result of the separation,
including changes in our employee base, changes in our technology support,
changes in our tax structure, potential increased costs associated with reduced
economies of scale and potential increased costs associated with being a
publicly traded, stand-alone entity. For additional information, see "Selected
Historical Combined Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and our historical combined
financial statements and notes to those statements.

OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE OUR BUSINESSES MAY SUFFER IF WE DO NOT, QUICKLY AND
COST-EFFECTIVELY, ESTABLISH OUR OWN FINANCIAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND OTHER SUPPORT
FUNCTIONS TO SUCCESSFULLY OPERATE AS A STAND-ALONE ENTITY, AND WE CANNOT ASSURE
YOU THAT THE TRANSITIONAL SERVICES FMC CORPORATION HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE US
WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR OUR NEEDS.

Historically, our businesses have relied on financial, administrative and
other resources of FMC Corporation. After this offering, we will need to create
our own financial, administrative and other support systems or contract with a
third party to replace FMC Corporation's systems. We have entered into an
agreement with FMC Corporation under which FMC Corporation will provide
transitional services to us, including services related to information
technology systems, treasury, legal, financial and accounting services.
Although FMC Corporation is contractually obligated to provide us with these
services until the distribution, these services may not be sufficient to meet
our needs, and we may not be able to replace these services at all or obtain
these services at prices and on terms as favorable as we currently have them,
after our agreement with FMC Corporation expires. Any failure or significant
downtime in our own financial or administrative systems or in FMC Corporation's
financial or administrative systems during the transitional period could
prevent us from paying our employees, billing our customers or performing other
administrative services on a timely basis and could materially harm our
business or operations.

AFTER THE SEPARATION, WE MAY EXPERIENCE INCREASED COSTS RESULTING FROM
DECREASED PURCHASING POWER COMPARED TO THAT CURRENTLY PROVIDED BY OUR
ASSOCIATION WITH FMC CORPORATION.

We have been able to take advantage of FMC Corporation's size and
purchasing power in procuring goods, technology and services, including
insurance, employee benefit support and audit services. Following the
separation and this offering, we will be a smaller and less diversified company
than FMC Corporation was prior to the separation, and there is no guarantee
that we will have access to financial and other resources comparable to those
available to FMC Corporation prior to the separation. As a separate, stand-
alone entity, we may be unable to obtain goods, technology and services at
prices and on terms as favorable as those available to us prior to the
separation.

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FMC CORPORATION MAY HINDER OUR ABILITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES SUCCESSFULLY.

Our ability to take advantage of specific business opportunities is
subject to procedures in our Certificate of Incorporation relating to
allocation of business opportunities between FMC Corporation and us. Although
currently FMC Corporation does not directly compete with us, our Certificate of
Incorporation provides that, unless otherwise provided in a written agreement
between FMC Corporation and us, FMC Corporation will have no duty to refrain
from engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as we
engage in or propose to engage in at the time of this offering. Furthermore,
subject to applicable law, FMC Corporation has no duty to communicate or offer
to us any corporate opportunities that come to its attention.

As a result, it may be more difficult for us to pursue successfully new
business opportunities available to both FMC Corporation and us, which could
limit our potential sources of revenue and growth. In addition, we have
established procedures in our Certificate of Incorporation that govern the
conduct of our directors or officers who also serve as directors or officers of
FMC Corporation in the event that any of them acquires knowledge of a corporate
opportunity for both FMC Corporation and us. Moreover, our ability to take
advantage of specific business opportunities may be affected by FMC
Corporation's representation on our Board of Directors and its voting control
over us. See "Arrangements Between FMC Technologies and FMC Corporation--
Allocation of Corporate Opportunities" for a description of allocation of
business opportunities between FMC Corporation and us.

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FMC CORPORATION MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN
ADDITIONAL FINANCING.

Our business strategy anticipates future acquisitions and development of
new technologies. Any acquisition or development project could be subject to
our ability to access capital from outside sources on acceptable terms. Until
the distribution to its stockholders, FMC Corporation will control our Board of
Directors and be able to limit our ability to borrow funds or to issue
additional equity. For the distribution of the remaining shares of our common
stock to be tax free to FMC Corporation and its stockholders, FMC Corporation
must, among other things, own at least 80% of all of our voting power at the
time of the distribution. Therefore, prior to the distribution, we will not be
able to issue equity, voting securities or convertible debt without FMC
Corporation's prior consent, and FMC Corporation is unlikely to give that
consent so long as it still intends to distribute the remaining shares. In
addition, in certain cases, our ability to issue equity, voting securities and
convertible debt will be limited during the 30 months following the date of the
distribution due to our need to preserve the tax-free nature of the
distribution.

WE MAY HAVE POTENTIAL BUSINESS CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH FMC CORPORATION WITH
RESPECT TO OUR PAST AND ONGOING RELATIONSHIPS THAT COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS
OPERATIONS.

Conflicts of interest may arise between FMC Corporation and us in a
number of areas relating to our past and ongoing relationships, including:

. labor, tax, employee benefit, indemnification and other matters
arising from the separation;

. intellectual property matters;

. solicitation and hiring of employees from each other and recruiting
of new employees;

. business combinations involving us;

. business operations or business opportunities of FMC Corporation or
us that would compete with the other party's business opportunities;

. sales or distributions by FMC Corporation of all or any portion of
its ownership interest in us; and

. the nature, quality and pricing of transition services to be provided
by FMC Corporation or us.

Our agreements with FMC Corporation may be amended upon agreement between
FMC Corporation and us. During the time that we are controlled by FMC
Corporation, FMC Corporation may be able to require us to agree to amendments
to these agreements. We may not be able to resolve any potential conflicts, and
even if we do so, the resolution may be less favorable to us than if we were
dealing with an unaffiliated party.

CONTROL BY FMC CORPORATION WILL LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME OF
MATTERS REQUIRING STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL AND COULD DISCOURAGE POTENTIAL
ACQUISITIONS OF US BY THIRD PARTIES.

After the completion of this offering, FMC Corporation will own more than
80% of our outstanding common stock. Although FMC Corporation has advised us
that it currently intends to distribute its remaining ownership interests in us
to its stockholders prior to the end of 2001, we cannot assure you that this
will occur.

As long as FMC Corporation owns a majority of our outstanding common stock, FMC
Corporation will have the power to elect our entire Board of Directors and take
stockholder action without the vote of any other stockholder. As a result, FMC
Corporation will control all matters affecting us, including:

. the composition of our Board of Directors and, through our Board of
Directors, the making of decisions with respect to our business
direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of our
officers;

. any determinations with respect to mergers or other business
combinations;

. our acquisition or disposition of any or all of our assets;

. our capital structure;

. changes to the agreements providing for the separation;

. the payment of dividends on our common stock;

. determinations with respect to our tax returns; and

. other aspects of our business direction and policies.

A majority of our directors following this offering will be directors or
officers of FMC Corporation, including Robert N. Burt, who is Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of FMC Corporation, and Joseph H. Netherland, who is
President and a director of FMC Corporation. FMC Corporation's voting control
and board influence may discourage many types of transactions involving a
change of control, including transactions in which you as a holder of our
common stock might otherwise receive a premium for your shares over the then-
current market price. Furthermore, FMC Corporation is not prohibited from
selling a controlling interest in us to a third party.

OUR DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS MAY HAVE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
BECAUSE OF THEIR OWNERSHIP OF FMC CORPORATION COMMON STOCK AND POSITIONS WITH
FMC CORPORATION.

Our executive officers and some of our directors own a substantial amount
of FMC Corporation common stock and options to purchase FMC Corporation common
stock. In addition, a majority of our directors serve as officers or directors
of FMC Corporation, and several of our executive officers may continue to serve
as officers or directors of FMC Corporation until the distribution, if the
distribution occurs. For example, Robert N. Burt, our Chairman, will continue
to be Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FMC Corporation,
Joseph H. Netherland, our President, Chief Executive Officer and a director,
will continue to be President and Director of FMC Corporation and William H.
Schumann III, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will
continue to be Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of FMC
Corporation. Ownership of FMC Corporation common stock by our directors and
officers after the separation and the presence of FMC Corporation officers and
directors on our Board of Directors and in our senior management could create,
or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest when our directors and
officers are faced with decisions that could have different implications for
FMC Corporation than they do for us. In addition, our executive officers who
are serving in officer positions at FMC Corporation may not be able to devote
the same exclusive attention or efforts to our operations and business that
individuals serving solely as our officers would be able to do.

OUR BUSINESS AND YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED
IF FMC CORPORATION DOES NOT COMPLETE THE DISTRIBUTION, BECAUSE WE WOULD REMAIN
SUBJECT TO CONTROL BY FMC CORPORATION.

Although FMC Corporation has advised us that it currently intends to
complete the distribution by the end of 2001, we cannot assure you whether or
when the distribution will occur. In certain circumstances, FMC Corporation, in
exercising its fiduciary duties to its stockholders, may need to alter or amend
its course of action. FMC Corporation's obligation to complete the distribution
is subject to receipt of a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
to the effect that the distribution will be tax free to FMC Corporation and its

stockholders for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and final approval of the
distribution by the FMC Corporation Board of Directors, among other conditions.
At the time of this offering, FMC Corporation does not have a ruling from the
IRS regarding the tax treatment of the distribution. If FMC Corporation does
not obtain a favorable tax ruling, FMC Corporation may not make the
distribution in the expected time frame or, perhaps, at all. In order for the
distribution to be tax free, FMC Corporation must satisfy various requirements,
including owning at least 80% of all of our voting power at the time of the
distribution.

In addition, until the distribution occurs, the risks discussed in this
prospectus relating to FMC Corporation's control of us and the potential
business conflicts of interest between FMC Corporation and us will continue to
be relevant to you. If the distribution is delayed or not completed at all, the
liquidity of shares of our common stock in the market may be constrained unless
and until FMC Corporation elects to sell some of its significant ownership into
the public market. A lack of liquidity in our common stock may affect our stock
price.

IF WE TAKE ACTIONS THAT CAUSE THE DISTRIBUTION TO FAIL TO QUALIFY AS A TAX-FREE
TRANSACTION, WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO INDEMNIFY FMC CORPORATION FOR ANY RESULTING
TAXES, WHICH MAY PREVENT OR DELAY A CHANGE OF CONTROL OF US AFTER THE
DISTRIBUTION.

FMC Corporation has advised us that it intends to distribute its shares
of our common stock to its stockholders before the end of 2001. Prior to
completing the distribution, FMC Corporation has advised us that it intends to
obtain a favorable ruling from the IRS to the effect that the distribution will
be tax free to FMC Corporation and its stockholders for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes. Under the tax sharing agreement between FMC Corporation and us, if we
breach any representations in the tax sharing agreement relating to the ruling,
take or fail to take any action that causes our representations in the tax
sharing agreement relating to the ruling to be untrue or engage in a
transaction after the distribution that causes the distribution to be taxable
to FMC Corporation, we will be required to indemnify FMC Corporation for any
resulting taxes. The amount of any indemnification payments would be
substantial, and we likely would not have sufficient financial resources to
achieve our growth strategy after making those payments.

Current tax law generally provides for a presumption that the
distribution, if it occurs, may be taxable to FMC Corporation if we undergo or
enter into an agreement that would cause us to undergo a 50% or greater change
in stock ownership during a four-year period beginning on the date that begins
two years before the date of the distribution. Under the tax sharing agreement,
FMC Corporation is entitled to require us to reimburse any tax costs incurred
by FMC Corporation as a result of a transaction resulting in a change in
control of us. These costs may be so great that they delay or prevent a
strategic acquisition or change of control of us. The applicable tax law is
relatively new and undeveloped, and final interpretive regulations have not yet
been issued.

OUR AGREEMENTS WITH FMC CORPORATION MAY BE LESS FAVORABLE TO US THAN IF THEY
HAD BEEN NEGOTIATED AT ARM'S LENGTH.

We negotiated and signed our agreements with FMC Corporation while we
were a wholly owned subsidiary of FMC Corporation. If each of these agreements
had been negotiated at arm's length, they may have been more favorable to us.
The allocation of assets and liabilities between FMC Corporation and us may not
reflect what two unaffiliated parties would have agreed to, and it is possible
that we may be required to indemnify FMC Corporation for liabilities, or may
not have received all assets, related to our business or that we may be
responsible for liabilities unrelated to our business.

PERSONS MAY SEEK TO HOLD US RESPONSIBLE FOR LIABILITIES OF FMC CORPORATION THAT
WE DID NOT ASSUME IN OUR AGREEMENTS.

Under the separation and distribution agreement, FMC Corporation retained
all of its liabilities that we did not assume under our agreements with FMC
Corporation. Persons may seek to hold us responsible for FMC Corporation's
retained liabilities, such as environmental contamination liabilities relating
to FMC

Corporation's discontinued businesses or environmental or other liabilities
relating to FMC Corporation's chemical businesses. Under the agreements, FMC
Corporation has agreed to indemnify us for claims and losses relating to its
retained liabilities. However, if those liabilities are significant and we are
held liable for them, we cannot assure you that we will be able to recover the
full amount of our losses from FMC Corporation.

RISKS RELATED TO THE SECURITIES MARKETS AND OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK

THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE SUBJECT TO WIDE FLUCTUATIONS AND MAY TRADE
BELOW THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE.

Before this offering, there has not been a public market for our common
stock. We cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock
will develop or be sustained after this offering. The market price of our
common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations after this offering
and may decline below the initial public offering price. The initial public
offering price of our common stock was determined by negotiations between us
and representatives of the underwriters, based on numerous factors which we
discuss under "Underwriting." This price may not be indicative of the market
price of our common stock after this offering. We cannot assure you that you
will be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering
price. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are the risk factors
described in this section and other factors including:

. quarterly variations in our operating results compared to market
expectations;

. changes in expectations as to our future financial performance,
including financial estimates by securities analysts;

. strategic moves by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or
restructurings; and

. general market conditions.

Stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has
often been unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company.
These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our
common stock.

PROVISIONS IN OUR ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS AND OUR RIGHTS AGREEMENT AS WELL AS
DELAWARE LAW MAY DELAY OR PREVENT AN ACQUISITION OF US THAT STOCKHOLDERS MAY
CONSIDER FAVORABLE, WHICH COULD DECREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR SHARES.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware law contain
provisions that could make it harder for a third party to acquire us without
the consent of our Board of Directors. These provisions include supermajority
voting requirements for our stockholders to remove directors and amend our
organizational documents, a classified board of directors and limitations on
actions by our stockholders by written consent. Some of these provisions, such
as the limitation on stockholder actions by written consent, become effective
once FMC Corporation no longer controls us. In addition, our Board of Directors
has the right to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which
could be used to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquiror.
Delaware law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business
combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common
stock. Our rights agreement imposes a significant penalty on any person or
group that acquires 15% or more of our outstanding common stock without the
approval of our Board of Directors. These restrictions under Delaware law and
our rights agreement do not apply to FMC Corporation so long as it holds 15% or
more of our common stock. Although we believe these provisions protect our
stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics and thereby
provide for an opportunity to receive a higher bid by requiring potential
acquirers to negotiate with our Board of Directors, these provisions apply even
if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders.

OUR SHARE PRICE MAY DECLINE BECAUSE OF THE ABILITY OF FMC CORPORATION AND
OTHERS TO SELL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock after this offering, or
the possibility of those sales, could adversely affect the market price of our
common stock and impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of
equity securities. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" for a discussion of
possible future sales of our common stock.

After this offering, we will have 65,000,000 shares of common stock
outstanding, approximately 83.0% of which will be owned by FMC Corporation, or,
if the underwriters elect to exercise their over-allotment option in full, we
will have 66,657,500 shares of common stock outstanding, approximately 80.9% of
which will be owned by FMC Corporation. Additionally, we will have reserved an
additional 2,250,000 shares of our common stock for issuance pursuant to
options we will grant in connection with this offering. In connection with this
offering, we will grant restricted stock in replacement of all FMC Corporation
restricted stock granted to our employees and to the Chairman of our Board of
Directors. In connection with the distribution, we will also issue options in
replacement of all FMC Corporation options held by our employees and in
replacement of a portion of the FMC Corporation options held by our directors,
and we will grant restricted stock in replacement of all FMC Corporation
restricted stock granted to employees of FMC Corporation whom we hire as of the
distribution date, and in replacement of a portion of the FMC Corporation
restricted stock granted to our non-employee directors, other than the Chairman
of our Board of Directors. FMC Corporation has advised us that it currently
intends to complete the distribution by the end of calendar year 2001, subject
to receipt of a favorable ruling from the IRS that the distribution will be tax
free to FMC Corporation and its stockholders for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes and final approval of the Board of Directors of FMC Corporation, among
other conditions. Moreover, FMC Corporation has no contractual obligation to
retain its shares of our common stock, except for a limited period described
under "Underwriting" during which it will not sell any of its shares of our
common stock without the underwriter's consent until 180 days after the date of
this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions. The 180-day lockup does not
prohibit FMC Corporation from making the distribution. Subject to applicable
U.S. Federal and state securities laws, after the expiration of this 180-day
waiting period (or before, with consent of the underwriters or as permitted by
the lockup agreements), FMC Corporation may sell any and all of the shares of
our common stock that it beneficially owns. The separation and distribution
agreement grants FMC Corporation the right to require us to register the shares
of our common stock it holds in specified circumstances. In addition, after the
expiration of this 180-day waiting period, we could sell additional shares of
our common stock, subject to FMC Corporation's consent. Any sale or
distribution by FMC Corporation or us of our common stock in the public market
or to FMC Corporation's stockholders, or the perception that any such sale or
distribution could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for
the shares of our common stock.

In connection with this offering, we intend to file a registration
statement on Form S-8 to register 12,000,000 shares of our common stock that
are or will be reserved for issuance under our stock plan.

WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable future. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is restricted by
our $150 million 364-day revolving credit facility and our $250 million five-
year credit agreement and may be restricted by any bank credit agreement or
indenture we enter into in the future.

YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION IN NET TANGIBLE BOOK
VALUE PER SHARE.

Dilution per share represents the difference between the initial public
offering price and the net consolidated book value per share immediately after
this offering of our common stock. Purchasers of our common stock in this
offering would have experienced immediate dilution of $14.17 in pro forma net
tangible book value per share had this offering occurred March 31, 2001.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

You should not rely on forward-looking statements in this prospectus.
These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any results, levels of activity,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking
statement. These factors include, among other things, those listed under "Risk
Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by such words or phrases as "will likely result,"
"is confident that," "expected," "should," "could," "may," "will continue to,"
"believes," "anticipates," "predicts," "forecasts," "estimates," "projects,"
"intends" or similar expressions, including the negative of those words and
phrases. Although these forward-looking statements are based on our
management's current views and assumptions regarding future events, future
business conditions and the outlook for us based on currently available
information, these forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in, or implied by, these statements. We wish to caution readers not
to rely on any of these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date made. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any of
the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Our net proceeds from the sale of the 11,050,000 shares of our common
stock in this offering will be approximately $204.5 million, after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. We
intend to distribute these net proceeds from the offering to FMC Corporation in
accordance with the separation and distribution agreement. If the underwriters
exercise their overallotment option in full, our net proceeds will be
approximately $235.6 million. We expect to use any of these additional net
proceeds to pay down borrowings we incurred under a revolving credit facility
in order to distribute funds to FMC Corporation in connection with the
separation, and for general corporate purposes. Under the terms of this $150
million 364-day revolving credit facility, the debt that may be repaid matures
April 25, 2002, and is expected to accrue interest at an annual rate of 100
basis points above the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the
foreseeable future. Instead, we currently intend to retain all available funds
and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business.
Our Board of Directors will make any future determination regarding the payment
of dividends based upon various factors then existing, including:

. our financial condition, operating results and current and
anticipated cash needs;

. general economic and business conditions;

. our strategic plans and business prospects;

. legal, contractual and regulatory restrictions on our ability to pay
dividends; and

. other factors that our Board of Directors may consider to be
relevant.

In addition, covenants in our $150 million 364-day credit facility and
our $250 million five-year credit agreement limit our ability to pay cash
dividends on our common stock.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of March 31, 2001 on
an historical basis and on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect the
assumption or incurrence of debt in connection with the separation and this
offering, the sale of 11,050,000 shares of our common stock in this offering at
the public offering price of $20.00 per share and the distribution of the net
proceeds from this sale to FMC Corporation as described under "Use of
Proceeds."

You should read this table together with "Selected Historical Combined
Financial Data," our historical combined financial statements and the notes to
those statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" included elsewhere in this prospectus.

(IN MILLIONS) ----------------------
PRO FORMA
HISTORICAL AS ADJUSTED
---------- -----------

--------
(1) Our historical capital structure is not indicative of our prospective
capital structure and, accordingly, historical earnings per share
information has not been presented. Pro forma unaudited as adjusted diluted
earnings per common share from continuing operations in 2000 is computed
using unaudited pro forma as adjusted income from continuing operations
divided by 66,042,432, which for pro forma diluted earnings per share
purposes is the assumed number of shares of our common stock outstanding
after this offering. This share amount is calculated assuming that (a)
prior to this offering 53,950,000 of our common stock shares are
outstanding, (b) 11,050,000 shares are sold in this offering and (c) the
pro forma dilutive effect of our restricted stock to be granted to our
employees and to the Chairman of our Board of Directors in replacement of
FMC Corporation restricted stock is 1,042,432 shares, calculated based on
the weighted average number of shares of FMC Corporation restricted stock
outstanding at any time during 2000 and using FMC Corporation's average
2000 stock price and our offering price of $20.00 per share. Pro forma
unaudited as adjusted diluted loss per common share from continuing
operations in 2001 is computed using unaudited pro forma as adjusted loss
from continuing operations divided by 65,000,000, which for pro forma
diluted loss per share purposes is the assumed number of shares of our
common stock outstanding after this offering with reference to (a) and (b)
above. The pro forma effect of our restricted stock described in (c) above
is antidilutive in 2001 and is therefore not included in the calculation.
(2) EBITDA from continuing operations consists of income from continuing
operations before interest and income taxes and before the cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle, plus depreciation of property,
plant and equipment, amortization of other long-term assets, primarily
intangibles of acquired companies, and asset impairments. EBITDA from
continuing operations is not a measure of financial performance under
generally accepted accounting principles. You should not consider it in
isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income or cash flow measures
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as
a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, our EBITDA from
continuing operations calculation may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures of other companies. We have included EBITDA from continuing
operations as a supplemental disclosure because it may provide useful
information regarding our ability to service debt and to fund capital
expenditures. Our ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures in
the future, however, may be affected by other operating or legal
requirements.
(3) Order backlog is calculated as the estimated sales value of unfilled,
confirmed customer orders at the reporting date.
(4) Average segment operating capital employed is a two-point average of
segment operating capital employed as of the beginning and end of the
period. Segment operating capital employed represents segment assets less
segment liabilities. Segment assets exclude corporate and other assets,
which are principally cash equivalents, last-in, first-out inventory
reserves, deferred income tax benefits, intercompany eliminations,
property, plant and equipment not attributable to a specific segment and
credits relating to the sale of receivables. Segment liabilities exclude
substantially all debt, income taxes, pension and other postretirement
benefit liabilities, restructuring reserves, intercompany eliminations,
reserves for discontinued operations and deferred gains on the sale and
leaseback of equipment. Average segment operating capital employed is not a
measure of financial position under generally accepted accounting
principles. You should not consider it in isolation from, or as a
substitute for, stockholder's equity prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles or as a measure of financial position. Our
management views average segment operating capital employed as a primary
measure of segment capital.
(5) Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2001 included $3.3
million related to the repatriation of foreign-held cash in connection with
our separation from FMC Corporation.
(6) Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001 is net of the after-tax
charge related to the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
of $4.7 million.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income and unaudited pro
forma condensed combined balance sheet should be read in connection with, and
are qualified by reference to, our combined financial statements and related
notes, as well as "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations," included elsewhere in this prospectus. We believe
that the assumptions used in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma
financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant
effects directly attributable to the transactions discussed below. The
unaudited pro forma combined statements of income and unaudited pro forma
condensed combined balance sheet are not necessarily indicative of the results
that would have been reported had such events actually occurred on the dates
described below, nor are they indicative of our future results.

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income for the year ended
December 31, 2000 has been prepared to reflect the following adjustments to our
historical results of operations and to give effect to the following
transactions as if those transactions had been consummated on January 1, 2000:

. our assumption or incurrence of $239.2 million of debt as of January
1, 2000 in connection with the separation and this offering, and the
distribution to FMC Corporation of the proceeds from borrowings we
incurred in accordance with the separation and distribution
agreement;

. our sale of common stock in this offering and the distribution of
approximately $204.5 million of net proceeds therefrom to FMC
Corporation; and

. the replacement of all FMC Corporation restricted stock granted to
our employees and to the Chairman of our Board of Directors with our
restricted stock in connection with this offering.

(1) Reflects interest expense associated with approximately $239.2 million of
debt that will be assumed or incurred in connection with the separation and
this offering. Under the separation and distribution agreement, we will
incur new debt of $300.0 million, less our existing debt ($41.1 million at
December 31, 2000) and less the balance of accounts receivable sold under
FMC Corporation's accounts receivable financing facility ($38.0 million at
December 31, 2000) and plus any surplus of cash in excess of $15.0 million
($2.8 million at December 31, 2000). We will distribute this net amount,
plus an amount equal to one-half of the net proceeds of the fully exercised
overallotment option ($15.5 million), to FMC Corporation, resulting in net
incremental debt for pro forma purposes of $239.2 million. The interest
expense assumes that these amounts were outstanding as of January 1, 2000
and remained outstanding for the entire period. Such debt was assumed to
carry a current effective weighted interest rate of 5.12%. A one-eighth
percent variance in that interest rate would have increased or decreased
interest expense by approximately $0.3 million. Under the separation and
distribution agreement, the debt we will incur will be adjusted on the
basis of our net cash flow and changes in our debt and cash and in the
balance of accounts receivable sold subsequent to December 31, 2000.

(2) The effect of taxes on the pro forma adjustments has been recognized using
a blended statutory U.S. Federal and state rate of 39%.

(3) Subsequent to this offering, we expect to incur one-time tax expenses
aggregating approximately $4.0 million as a result of the impact of the
separation on our international entities. These expenses have been excluded
from the calculation of our unaudited pro forma as adjusted income from
continuing operations as these incremental expenses represent significant
nonrecurring charges incurred subsequent to this offering.

(4) Subsequent to this offering, we expect to incur incremental compensation
expense of approximately $4.5 million ($2.8 million after tax) over the
period from this offering through December 31, 2001, and a total of $2.9
million ($1.8 million after tax) thereafter through the completion of
vesting periods in 2004. This expense will result from the replacement of
318,322 shares of FMC Corporation restricted stock granted to our employees
and to the Chairman of our Board of Directors with our restricted stock in
connection with this offering, and has been excluded from the calculation
of our unaudited pro forma as adjusted income from continuing operations as
this incremental expense represents a significant nonrecurring charge
incurred subsequent to this offering.

(5) Our historical capital structure is not indicative of our prospective
capital structure and, accordingly, historical earnings per share
information has not been presented. Unaudited pro forma as adjusted basic
earnings per common share from continuing operations has been calculated in
accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules for initial
public offerings. These rules require that the weighted average share
calculation gives retroactive effect to any changes in our capital
structure as well as the number of shares whose proceeds will be used to
pay any dividend or repay any debt as reflected in the pro forma
adjustments. It is anticipated that the net proceeds from the initial
public offering will be distributed to FMC Corporation. Therefore, pro
forma weighted average shares are comprised of 53,950,000 shares of our
common stock outstanding prior to this offering and 11,050,000 shares of
our common stock included in the offering assuming all such shares are
outstanding as of January 1, 2000.

(6) Our historical capital structure is not indicative of our prospective
capital structure and, accordingly, historical earnings per share
information has not been presented. Unaudited pro forma as adjusted diluted
earnings per common share from continuing operations is computed using
unaudited pro forma as adjusted income from continuing operations divided
by 66,042,432, which for pro forma diluted earnings per share purposes is
the assumed number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this
offering. This share amount is calculated assuming that (a) prior to this
offering 53,950,000 shares of our common stock are outstanding, (b)
11,050,000 shares are sold in this offering and (c) the pro forma dilutive
effect of our restricted stock to be granted to our employees and to the
Chairman of our Board of Directors in replacement of FMC Corporation
restricted stock is 1,042,432 shares, calculated based on the weighted
average number of shares of FMC Corporation restricted stock outstanding at
any time during 2000 and using FMC Corporation's weighted average 2000
stock price of $61.75 per share and our offering price of $20.00 per share.

(1) Reflects interest expense associated with approximately $273.4 million of
debt that will be assumed or incurred in connection with the separation and
this offering. Under the separation and distribution agreement, we will
incur new debt of $300.0 million, less our existing debt ($31.7 million at
March 31, 2001), the balance of accounts receivable sold under FMC
Corporation's accounts receivable financing facility ($33.8 million at
March 31, 2001) and any amount by which our cash is less than $15.0 million
($3.0 million at March 31, 2001) and plus the amount of our negative cash
flow subsequent to December 31, 2000 ($26.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001). We will distribute this net amount, plus an amount
equal to one-half of the net proceeds of the fully exercised overallotment
option ($15.5 million), to FMC Corporation, resulting in net incremental
debt for pro forma purposes of $273.4 million. The interest expense assumes
that these amounts were outstanding as of January 1, 2001 and remained
outstanding for the entire three-month period. Such debt was assumed to
carry a current effective weighted interest rate of 5.10%. A one-eighth
percent variance in that interest rate would have increased or decreased
interest expense by approximately $0.1 million. Under the separation and
distribution agreement, the debt we incur will be adjusted on the basis of
our cash flow and changes in our debt and cash and in the balance of
accounts receivable sold subsequent to March 31, 2001.

(2) The effect of taxes on the pro forma adjustments has been recognized using
a blended statutory U.S. Federal and state rate of 39%.

(4) Subsequent to this offering, we expect to incur incremental compensation
expense of approximately $4.5 million ($2.8 million after tax) over the
period from this offering through December 31, 2001, and a total of $2.9
million ($1.8 million after tax) thereafter through the completion of
vesting periods in 2004. This expense will result from the replacement of
318,322 shares of FMC Corporation restricted stock granted to our employees
and to the Chairman of our Board of Directors with our restricted stock in
connection with this offering, and has been excluded from the calculation
of our unaudited pro forma as adjusted net loss as this incremental expense
represents a significant nonrecurring charge incurred subsequent to this
offering.

(6) Our historical capital structure is not indicative of our prospective
capital structure and, accordingly, historical earnings per share
information has not been presented. Unaudited pro forma as adjusted diluted
loss per common share from continuing operations is computed using
unaudited pro forma as adjusted loss from continuing operations divided by
65,000,000, which for pro forma diluted loss per share purposes is the
assumed number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this
offering. This share amount is calculated assuming that (a) prior to this
offering 53,950,000 shares of our common stock are outstanding, (b)
11,050,000 shares are sold in this offering and (c) the pro forma dilutive
effect of our restricted stock to be granted to our employees and our
directors in replacement of FMC Corporation restricted stock is
antidilutive to the unaudited pro forma as adjusted diluted loss per common
share calculation and is therefore not considered in the calculation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

The following information should be read in conjunction with the selected
historical combined financial and operating data and the accompanying combined
financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our
plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from
those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause
or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those
discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in "Risk
Factors" and "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information."

OVERVIEW

OUR SEPARATION FROM FMC CORPORATION

On October 31, 2000, FMC Corporation announced its intention to
reorganize its Energy Production Systems, Energy Processing Systems, FoodTech
and Airport Systems businesses as a new company, FMC Technologies, Inc., and to
cause us to sell up to 19.9% of our common stock in an initial public offering.
FMC Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on November 13, 2000 and
currently is a wholly owned subsidiary of FMC Corporation. After the completion
of this offering, FMC Corporation will own approximately 83.0% of our
outstanding common stock, or approximately 80.9% if the underwriters exercise
their overallotment option in full. FMC Corporation has advised us that it
currently intends to distribute its remaining ownership interest in us to
common stockholders of FMC Corporation. If completed, the distribution, as
previously announced, is expected to take the form of a spin-off in which FMC
Corporation distributes all of our common stock that it owns through a special
dividend to FMC Corporation common stockholders. If circumstances change, FMC
Corporation may distribute its remaining ownership interest in us through an
exchange offer by FMC Corporation, in which its common stockholders would be
offered the option of tendering some or all of their shares in exchange for our
common stock, and a subsequent spin-off of FMC Corporation's remaining
ownership interest in us. FMC Corporation has advised us that it does not
intend to complete the distribution unless it receives a favorable tax ruling
from the IRS as to the tax-free nature of the distribution for U.S. Federal
income tax purposes and the final approval of the Board of Directors of FMC
Corporation, among other conditions. FMC Corporation has also advised us that
it currently anticipates that the distribution will occur by the end of
calendar year 2001.

OUR ENERGY PRODUCTION SYSTEMS BUSINESS

The primary factor influencing demand for the exploration and production
systems and services that we provide is the exploration and production spending
of oil and gas companies, particularly with respect to

offshore activities worldwide. Exploration and production spending levels, in
turn, depend primarily on current and anticipated future crude oil and natural
gas prices, production volumes and oil and gas company operating costs. During
1998, crude oil prices declined to their lowest level in over 12 years,
reaching $10.76 per barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude and averaging
$14.38 per barrel for the year. This decline resulted in many exploration and
production companies canceling or deferring a significant portion of their
exploration and development activities. Crude oil prices substantially
recovered during the second half of 1999, averaging $23.10 per barrel, and
exploration and production companies enjoyed improved operating results and
cash flows. Oil prices continued their upward trend through 2000, averaging
$30.37 per barrel.

Although trends in the demand for and price of crude oil and natural gas
affect oil and gas industry activity and expenditure levels and thereby the
demand for Energy Production Systems' systems and services, Energy Production
Systems' financial performance generally has been less affected by short-term
market cycles and volatile commodity prices than the financial performance of
companies operating in other sectors of the oilfield services industry. Most of
the systems that we supply are highly engineered to meet the unique demands of
our customers and are typically ordered one to two years prior to installation.
We believe that, due to their long lead times and high potential returns, the
deepwater projects in which our systems are used typically are not the marginal
projects that are more subject to cancellation or delay during periods of low
crude oil and natural gas prices. In addition, we believe that Energy
Production Systems is less capital intensive than companies operating in other
sectors of the oilfield services industry due to factors such as high
engineering content, outsourcing of certain low value-added manufacturing and
advance payments received from customers.

OUR ENERGY PRODUCTION SYSTEMS OUTLOOK

Worldwide exploration and production spending by oil and gas companies is
expected to increase an estimated 18.1% in 2001 to approximately $107.5 billion
from an estimated $91.0 billion in 2000. While revenues from large deepwater
exploration and production contracts have been slower to materialize following
the recent recovery of crude oil and natural gas prices than we previously
expected, we have recently begun to realize benefits from increasing deepwater
production spending. During the first quarter of 2001, we entered into a five-
year alliance with BP regarding its deepwater development programs in the Gulf
of Mexico. This alliance is anticipated to generate $250 million in revenue and
is renewable for an additional five years. Hardware deliveries are expected to
begin in late 2002, with the initial project management and engineering work
beginning in the second quarter of 2001. During the third quarter of 2000, we
entered into alliances with Agip Exploration and Production and Norsk Hydro to
provide systems used in deepwater exploration and production and expect to
begin realizing revenue from these agreements in the second half of 2001. Our
alliances establish important ongoing relationships with our customers. While
most of our alliances do not commit our customers to purchase our systems and
services, they have historically led to, and we expect that they will continue
to result in, such purchases. For example, as a result of our alliance with
Norsk Hydro, in the first quarter of 2001, we were awarded a $35 million order
for subsea trees and related equipment and systems for its Fram Vest
development in the North Sea. In addition, recently we were awarded two orders
from Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. for subsea tree systems: a $13 million order for
the Marlim and Marlim Sul developments and a $15.3 million order for the
Marimba Leste development, all of which are off the coast of Brazil. While we
view the increased activity as a positive indicator of strengthening oil and
gas industry exploration and production activity, pricing remains competitive.
We believe that many of our major oil and gas customers that have announced
mergers have essentially completed the integration of the merged entities, and
that they will focus on exploration and development efforts, including the
development of large offshore deepwater basins.

OUR ENERGY PROCESSING SYSTEMS BUSINESS AND OUTLOOK

We believe that the outlook for Energy Processing Systems will be based
on many of the same factors that influence the outlook for Energy Production
Systems. As worldwide production and demand for crude oil and natural gas
increases, demand for our systems and services that facilitate the
transportation and measurement of these commodities also tends to increase. For
example, the demand for our measurement systems is influenced by the level of
worldwide exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, particularly
in remote areas where new production cannot be connected to currently installed
measurement systems. As is the case with Energy Production Systems, we believe
that Energy Processing Systems is less capital intensive than companies
operating in other sectors of the oilfield services industry due to factors
such as high engineering content, outsourcing of certain low value-added
manufacturing and advance payments received from customers.

Energy Processing Systems' outlook will also be affected by the level of
crude oil and natural gas prices. Crude oil and natural gas prices affect the
economic attractiveness of well servicing activity, the level of which directly
affects the demand for our high-pressure fittings and valves. High natural gas
prices, which averaged $6.31 per million British thermal units during the three
months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $4.30 per million British thermal
units during the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, have led to a high
level of well servicing, which has driven demand for our high-pressure fittings
and valves. Sales of fluid control equipment have been historically regarded as
a leading indicator of market activity due to the relatively small investment
required to service a well and the almost immediate resulting increased
production.

The demand for liquefied natural gas is also directly influenced by
natural gas prices. The economic attractiveness of liquefying and transporting
natural gas from areas of excess supply to areas of excess demand is influenced
by those prices. We believe that the worldwide demand for liquefied natural
gas, as well as for other fuels, drives the demand for our fluid loading and
transfer systems. Despite the high levels of crude oil and natural gas prices,
a lack of investment in infrastructure projects may result in weakness in
measurement markets.

OUR FOODTECH BUSINESS AND OUTLOOK

FoodTech is a leading supplier of specialized handling and processing
systems and services to food processing companies. We design, manufacture and
service technologically sophisticated food handling and processing systems used
by industrial food processors for, among other things, convenience food
preparation and citrus juice extraction.

The food industry is undergoing continuing consolidation. Major food
retailers are increasing their purchasing power through combinations. To
maintain profitability, food processors are being pressured to become more
efficient and to lower costs. As a result, they are consolidating and are
seeking technologically sophisticated integrated systems and services, such as
those we provide, to maximize the efficiency of their operations, while
maintaining high standards of food safety.

Consumer demand in several segments of the convenience food industry we
serve has increased during the last decade, and is expected to continue to
grow. For example, worldwide retail sales of frozen ready meals are forecast to
increase at a compound annual rate of 4.5% through 2005. In addition, the fast-
food industry is growing, and fast-food companies are expanding geographically.
For example, McDonald's international restaurant sales grew at an annual rate
of 17.0% from 1985 through 1999. Trends such as these have increased the demand
for systems and services that we supply to food processors, which in turn use
our systems and services to supply processed food to food retailers and fast
food restaurants.

We believe that projected growth in these industries and the trend toward
consolidation will continue to result in food processors outsourcing an
increasing amount of non-core services and seeking suppliers to provide
integrated systems and products that are technologically advanced, cost-
efficient and supported by extensive service capabilities.

Currently, we are responding to the impact on FoodTech's business in
North America of lower tomato, citrus and chicken commodity prices. We expect
to partly offset the effect of reduced orders from North American customers
through increased international food processing equipment sales, particularly
in Europe and the Middle East.

OUR AIRPORT SYSTEMS BUSINESS AND OUTLOOK

Airport Systems designs, manufactures and services technologically
advanced equipment and systems for airlines, airports and air freight
companies.

The worldwide fleet of airplanes is forecast to grow at a compound annual
rate of 4.3% through 2019, primarily driven by global economic development,
increased trade and the deregulation of airline markets and supported by growth
in both passenger traffic and air cargo. To accommodate this growth, airports,
airlines and air freight companies are expected to expand their existing
infrastructure. As a result of the projected airline fleet growth and the
demand that this growth is placing on current systems and infrastructure,
airports, airlines and air freight companies are seeking suppliers that can
provide total solutions such as integrated systems and processes to support
their operations.

Significant consolidations and strategic alliances are reshaping the air
transportation industry causing it to seek broader solutions to support the
efficient use of the airplane fleets. We believe that projected growth in the
air transportation industry and the trend toward consolidation will continue to
result in airlines, airports and air freight companies outsourcing an
increasing amount of non-core services and seeking out suppliers like us who
can provide integrated systems and products that are technologically advanced,
cost-efficient and supported by extensive service capabilities.

We currently do not expect purchases of airline ground support equipment
and systems to change significantly in 2001 from the levels in 2000. However,
increased operating costs for airlines may negatively impact airlines'
investment in capital assets beginning later this year, and airline orders
could decline during the second half of 2001. Subsequent to March 31, 2001, we
received a $25 million order for Jetway(R) passenger boarding bridges for the
Kansas City, Missouri airport. In addition, revenue generated from the Next
Generation Small Loader contract with the U.S. Air Force could favorably impact
our operating results in 2001 as compared with 2000. This five-year contract is
expected to generate $180 million of revenue and has the potential to generate
revenue of $458 million over the next 15 years.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

FMC Corporation has operated the businesses it transferred to us in the
separation as internal units of FMC Corporation through various divisions and
subsidiaries or through investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Our combined
financial statements have been carved out from the consolidated financial
statements of FMC Corporation using the historical results of operations and
bases of the assets and liabilities of the transferred businesses. FMC
Corporation has provided general and administrative services to our businesses,
including accounting, treasury, tax, legal, human resources, information
technology and other corporate and infrastructure services. The costs of these
services have been allocated to us and included in our combined financial
statements based upon the relative levels of use of those services causing the
incurrence of the expenses. The expense allocations have been determined on the
basis of assumptions and estimates that management believes to be a reasonable
reflection of our utilization of those services. These allocations and
estimates, however, are not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses
that would have resulted if we had operated as a separate entity in the past,
or of the costs we may incur in the future. For information relating to our
relationship with FMC Corporation and services and arrangements between FMC
Corporation and us following the separation, see "Arrangements Between FMC
Technologies and FMC Corporation." For more information regarding these or
other allocations made in connection with the preparation of our combined
financial statements, see Note 2 and the other notes to those statements.

The historical financial information presented in this prospectus does
not reflect the debt or interest expense we would have incurred if we were a
stand-alone entity. In addition, the financial information presented in this
prospectus may not be indicative of our combined financial position, operating
results or cash flows in the future or what our financial position, operating
results and cash flows would have been had we been a separate, stand-alone
entity during the periods presented. The historical financial information
presented in this prospectus does not reflect any changes that will occur in
our funding or operations as a result of this offering, the distribution and
our becoming a stand-alone entity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table summarizes our combined operating results for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, which were derived from our
audited combined financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus,
and our combined operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 2001, which were derived from our unaudited combined financial statements
included elsewhere in this prospectus. The information contained in the table
should be read in conjunction with the selected historical combined financial
data and the historical combined financial statements and notes thereto
included elsewhere in this prospectus. Segment operating profit is defined as
total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. The following items have
been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff expense,
interest income and expense associated with corporate debt facilities and
investments, income taxes, asset impairments and restructuring and other
charges (See Note 5 to our combined financial statements), last-in, first-out,
or LIFO, inventory adjustments and other income and expense items.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
31, 2000

Overview. Our profit for the three months ended March 31, 2001 before
significant non-recurring items was $8.5 million before tax ($6.2 million after
tax), compared with earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2000 of $13.0
million ($9.6 million after tax). Significant one-time items in the first
quarter of 2001 consisted of impairment and restructuring charges of $10.5
million ($6.5 million after tax), the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle of $7.5 million ($4.7 million after tax), and tax expense
related to the repatriation of offshore earnings of $3.3 million. No
significant one-time items occurred during the first quarter of 2000.

Revenue. Our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2001
decreased $12.5 million, or 2.8%, to $429.4 million, compared to $441.9 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Lower sales for Energy Production
Systems and FoodTech were partly offset by increased revenue from Energy
Processing Systems and Airport Systems. Energy Production Systems' sales in the
first three months of 2001 decreased $20.3 million, or 11.4%, to $157.9
million, from $178.2 million in the first three months of 2000. Energy
Processing Systems' revenue in the first three months of 2001 increased $10.8
million, or 13.8%, to $89.1 million, from $78.3 million in the first three
months of 2000. FoodTech's revenue in the first three months of 2001 decreased
$16.3 million, or 13.1%, to $108.5 million, from $124.8 million in the first
three months of 2000. Airport Systems' revenue in the first three months of
2001 increased $14.0 million, or 23.1%, to $74.7 million, from $60.7 million in
the first three months of 2000.

Lower Energy Production Systems' revenue in the first three months of
2001 was primarily a result of lower sales of floating production equipment
and, to a lesser extent, subsea systems. Sales of floating production equipment
were lower when compared with the first three months of 2000, reflecting the
effect of project delays by customers in the first three months of 2001. In
addition, the comparison was affected by revenues during the first three months
of 2000 relating to sales of floating production equipment to the Terra Nova
project, an alliance of companies, including FMC Technologies, to develop an
oil field off the coast of Nova Scotia. Lower subsea systems sales in the first
three months of 2001 for projects in the North Sea were partly offset by
increased sales of subsea systems for projects in the Gulf of Mexico and
offshore Brazil.

Increased revenue for Energy Processing Systems in the first three months
of 2001 was primarily the result of higher sales of fluid control equipment to
oilfield service companies, continuing to reflect the impact of higher crude
oil and gas prices. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in sales
of blending and transfer equipment, as certain customers have temporarily
delayed their investment in new bulk conveying systems.

FoodTech's revenue declined in the first three months of 2001, primarily
as a result of lower sales of fruit and tomato processing equipment and food
sterilization systems. Lower sales were due in large part to the timing of
major projects and reduced capital investment by customers because of lower
prices for tomatoes, poultry and citrus. An increase in sales of freezing
equipment in the first three months of 2001, attributable to the acquisition of
Northfield Freezing Systems Group on February 16, 2000, partially offset this
reduction in revenue.

Increased revenue for Airport Systems in the first three months of 2001
reflects higher volumes for all types of our airport ground support equipment
consisting of deicers, cargo loaders and push-back tractors. Purchases of
deicers were postponed by customers in the fourth quarter of 2000, and higher
sales of cargo loaders and push-back tractors were attributable to the air
freight market. Also contributing to improved sales in the first three months
of 2001 when compared with the same period in 2000 is revenue from the Next
Generation Small Loader contract with the United States Air Force.

Segment Operating Profit. Total segment operating profit decreased $4.7
million, or 20.3%, to $18.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001
from $23.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000. Energy Production
Systems' operating profit in 2001 decreased $4.1 million, or 42.3%, to $5.6
million from $9.7 million in the first three months of 2000. Energy Processing
Systems' operating profit in the first three months of 2001 increased $2.1
million, or 161.5%, to $3.4 million from $1.3 million in the first three months
of 2000. FoodTech's operating profit decreased $7.0 million, or 66.7%, to $3.5
million from $10.5 million in the first three months of 2000. Airport Systems'
operating profit increased $4.3 million, or 268.8%, to $5.9 million from $1.6
million in the first three months of 2000.

Energy Production Systems' lower operating profit in the first three
months of 2001 was primarily the result of lower volumes of subsea systems and
floating production equipment, offset somewhat by improvements in surface
wellhead volumes. Lower operating profitability, attributable to a decline in
subsea sales for projects in the North Sea, was partly offset by higher profits
from the subsea systems business in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Brazil.

Increased operating profit in the first three months of 2001 for Energy
Processing Systems reflected increased volumes for fluid control equipment and
lower costs in the measurement business, the latter as a result of
restructuring actions. Higher profitability in the first three months of 2001
was partly offset by the effect of reduced volumes in the blending and transfer
business.

FoodTech's operating profit decreased in the first three months of 2001
as a result of lower sales of fruit and tomato processing equipment and food
sterilization systems. This reduction was partially offset by lower costs,
primarily due to the benefit of cost reduction initiatives that began in 2000
and involved reductions in headcount and process improvements.

Airport Systems' operating profit increased in the first three months of
2001, primarily reflecting the timing of deicer sales, increased volumes of
cargo loaders sold to the air freight market and improved manufacturing
efficiencies realized from the higher volumes. In addition, increased
profitability was realized from the Next Generation Small Loader business.
Lower margins on Jetway(R) Systems, primarily related to spending on new
product releases for two domestic projects, partially offset the increased
profitability.

Corporate Expenses. Due to ongoing and prior restructuring efforts,
corporate expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 3.6%, from $8.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, to $8.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001.

Other Expense, net. Other expense, net, which is comprised primarily of
LIFO inventory adjustments and pension income or expense, decreased from $1.8
million to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 2001,
respectively. This is the result of a decrease in LIFO inventory expense in
2001.

Asset Impairments and Restructuring and Other Charges. In the first
quarter of 2001, we recorded an asset impairment and one-time restructuring
charges of $10.5 million before taxes ($6.5 million after tax). An asset
impairment of $1.3 million was required to write off goodwill associated with a
small FoodTech product line which we do not intend to develop further.
Restructuring charges were $9.2 million, of which $5.2 million related to
planned reductions in force of 91 individuals in the Energy Processing Systems
businesses, $2.5 million related to planned reductions in force of 72 positions
in the FoodTech businesses, and $1.5 million related to a planned plant closing
and restructuring of an Airport Systems facility, including 73 planned
workforce reductions. Restructuring spending of $1.1 million related to the
2001 programs occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2001.

Net Interest Income (Expense). Net interest is associated with cash
balances and third-party debt in our operating companies. Because FMC
Corporation has historically funded most of its businesses centrally, third-
party debt and cash for operating companies have been minimal and are not
representative of what our actual debt or cash balances would have been had we
been a separate, stand-alone entity. Net interest expense for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 was $1.1 million, compared to interest income of $0.1
million during the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in net
interest expense in 2001 was primarily the result of a reduction of short-term
marketable securities in foreign businesses.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended March
31, 2001 was $1.6 million on a pretax loss of $2.0 million from continuing
operations. Excluding the effects of restructuring and impairment charges and
the tax expense related to the repatriation of offshore earnings, income tax
expense for the quarter was $2.3 million on adjusted pretax earnings of $8.5
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 27%. Income tax expense of $3.4
million for the first quarter of 2000 resulted in an effective tax rate of 26%.
The differences between the effective tax rates for these periods and the
statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate relate primarily to differing foreign
tax rates, foreign sales corporation benefits, incremental state taxes and non-
deductible goodwill amortization and expenses.

Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle, Net of Income
Taxes. On January 1, 2001, the Company implemented, on a prospective basis,
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, resulting in a loss
from the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $4.7 million,
net of an income tax benefit of $3.0 million. See Notes 3 and 14 to the
combined financial statements and "Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements"
below.

Net Income (Loss). Net income (loss) in 2001 decreased $17.9 million to
$(8.3) million, compared with $9.6 million in 2000, due primarily to the
recording of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
consisting of an after-tax charge of $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2001.
Also in the first quarter of 2001, we recorded asset impairments and one-time
restructuring charges totaling $6.5 million on an after-tax basis and had a
pretax decrease in segment operating profit of $4.7 million when compared with
the first quarter of 2000.

Order Backlog. Our combined order backlog as of March 31, 2001 was $835.8
million, of which $440.1 million was related to Energy Production Systems,
$108.4 million was related to Energy Processing Systems, $129.3 million was
related to FoodTech, and $158.0 million was related to Airport Systems. At
December 31, 2000, our combined order backlog was $644.3 million, of which
$331.4 million was related to Energy Production Systems, $93.7 million was
related to Energy Processing Systems, $88.6 million was related to FoodTech and
$130.6 million was related to Airport Systems.

The increase in Energy Production Systems' order backlog was primarily
the result of strengthening in the subsea market and an increase in orders for
surface systems. The increase in Energy Processing Systems' order backlog was
primarily the result of increased orders for our marine loading arms.
FoodTech's order backlog increased, primarily reflecting the tendency of
customers to place orders for capital equipment at the beginning of the
calendar year. The increase in order backlog for Airport Systems is, in large
part, the result of our contract to provide the United States Air Force with
Next Generation Small Loaders. Additionally, air freight carriers placed
substantial orders early in 2001. Partially offsetting the increases to Airport
Systems' order backlog is a reduction in Jetway(R) order backlog due to the
completion of several large projects in 2001.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999

Overview. Our profit for the year ended December 31, 2000 before
significant non-recurring items was $101.9 million before tax ($74.8 million
after tax), compared with profit before one-time items for the year ended
December 31, 1999 of $119.6 million ($82.4 million after tax). Significant one-
time items in 2000 consisted of impairment and restructuring and other charges
of $11.3 million ($6.9 million after tax). Significant one-time items in 1999
consisted of impairment and restructuring and other charges of $9.6 million
($5.9 million after tax) and a charge related to discontinued operations of
$9.0 million ($5.5 million after tax).

Revenue. Our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 decreased
$77.9 million, or 4.0%, to $1,875.2 million, compared to $1,953.1 million for
the year ended December 31, 1999, as a result of declines in Energy Production
Systems' and Airport Systems' revenue, partially offset by increased FoodTech
and Energy Processing Systems' revenue. Energy Production Systems' revenue in
2000 decreased $117.3 million, or 14.9%, to $667.9 million from $785.2 million
in 1999. Energy Processing Systems' revenue in 2000 increased $22.2 million, or
6.4%, to $370.7 million from $348.5 million in 1999. FoodTech's revenue in 2000
increased $36.0 million, or 6.7%, to $573.3 million, compared to $537.3 million
in 1999. Airport Systems' revenue in 2000 decreased $23.7 million, or 8.1%, to
$267.2 million from $290.0 million in 1999.

Lower Energy Production Systems' revenue in 2000 reflected continued
delays by oil and gas companies in awarding new contracts for large subsea
projects. The delays were attributable in part to restructuring and merger
activity in the oil and gas industry and to delays experienced by oil and gas
companies in obtaining required government approvals for subsea projects
located offshore West Africa. Higher sales of surface wellhead equipment in
2000 partly offset the lower subsea revenue.

Increased revenue for Energy Processing Systems in 2000 was primarily the
result of higher sales of fluid control equipment, reflecting the impact of the
higher crude oil and natural gas prices on oilfield service company demand for
these products. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in sales of
loading systems resulting from delays in liquefied natural gas projects and
upgrades to loading terminals.

FoodTech's 2000 revenue increased by $36.0 million, of which $38.5
million was attributable to the acquisition of Northfield Freezing Equipment in
February 2000, $19.0 million was attributable to growth in our aftermarket
services and $5.5 million was attributable to higher volumes of tomato and
fruit processing equipment, particularly to customers in Asia. These increases
were partially offset by a $21.7 million decrease in our sales of agricultural
machinery and by a $5.5 million decrease in sales of poultry processing
equipment.

Airport Systems' revenue decreased in 2000 compared to 1999 by $12.1
million due to lower sales of domestic loaders and $9.4 million, as a result of
decreased sales of loaders in Europe and the Middle East. The reduced loader
sales resulted as airlines responded to higher operating costs, primarily
driven by higher fuel costs in 2000, by restricting capital purchases. The
reduction in revenue was partly offset by an increase of $6.5 million in sales
of our Jetway(R) passenger boarding bridges.

Segment Operating Profit. Total segment operating profit decreased $19.9
million, or 12.3%, to $141.4 million in 2000 from $161.3 million in 1999.
Energy Production Systems' operating profit in 2000 decreased $19.3 million, or
29.8%, to $45.5 million from $64.8 million in 1999. Energy Processing Systems'
operating profit in 2000 decreased $5.4 million, or 16.7%, to $26.9 million
from $32.3 million in 1999. Operating profit for FoodTech and Airport Systems
increased $3.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. FoodTech's operating
profit increased 7.0% to $53.8 million, and Airport Systems operating profit
increased 9.4% to $15.2 million.

Energy Production Systems' operating profit in 2000 declined as a result
of lower volumes of subsea and floating production systems, primarily as a
result of delays in the awarding of new contracts by oil and gas companies.
Lower operating profit in 2000 also reflected a $9.5 million increase in
research and development expense for subsea market initiatives.

Energy Processing Systems' operating profit in 2000 and 1999 included
pre-tax gains of $0.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively, from the sale of
assets. Excluding these gains, Energy Processing Systems' operating profit
declined $1.3 million, or 4.7% to $26.4 million in 2000 from $27.7 million in
1999. Energy Processing Systems' operating profit declined primarily in the
measurement business as a result of higher costs and the effect of competitive
pressures. In addition, the blending and transfer equipment business reported
lower margins reflecting a less favorable product mix. Partially offsetting
these reductions was increased profitability from higher volumes in the fluid
control business.

FoodTech's operating profit increased in 2000 due primarily to cost
reductions from prior restructuring activities. This increase was partially
offset by reduced profits from lower sales of poultry processing equipment and
lower margins on freezers, the latter being the result of an increase in
competitive pressure in response to industry consolidation in the freezer
market.

Airport Systems' operating profit increased in 2000 as compared to 1999
due primarily to higher sales volumes of our Jetway(R) systems and the effect
of a cost overrun that occurred in 1999 associated with an international
Jetway(R) project. The higher operating profit was partly offset by lower
profits on ground support equipment due to reduced margins that were driven by
lower sales volumes and changes in customer mix.

Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses decreased $1.6 million, or 4.5%,
to $33.7 million in 2000 from $35.3 million in 1999, due to ongoing and prior
restructuring efforts.

Other Expense, net. Other income and expense is comprised primarily of
LIFO inventory adjustments and pension income or expense. Pension and other
postretirement benefit expense decreased from $8.7 million in 1999 to $5.2
million as a result of an increase in the discount rate used to calculate
pension expense for 2000.

Asset Impairments and Restructuring and Other Charges. In the second
quarter of 2000, we recorded asset impairments and restructuring and other one-
time charges totaling $11.3 million before taxes, or $6.9 million after taxes.
Asset impairments of $1.5 million were required to write down selected Energy
Production Systems' machinery to its estimated recoverable amount after a
decision was made to withdraw from several non-core manufacturing activities.
An analysis of estimated future cash flows attributed to these assets indicated
that an impairment of the assets had occurred. Restructuring and other one-time
charges were $9.8 million before taxes, and included $8.0 million, which
resulted primarily from strategic decisions to restructure selected FoodTech
operations due to economic downturns in a number of markets in which we
participate as well as decisions to withdraw from several manufacturing
activities which are no longer considered core competencies. The restructuring
consisted of reductions in force of 236 individuals and is expected to result
in reduced compensation expense beginning in 2001. Restructuring charges of
$1.4 million at Energy Production Systems consisted of severance costs related
to reductions in force of 68 individuals as a result of the delay in orders
received from oil and gas companies for major systems. The Energy Production
Systems restructuring is also expected to result in reduced compensation
expense beginning in 2001. Restructuring charges of $0.4 million related to a
corporate reduction in force. The remaining 53 workforce reductions associated
with these restructuring programs were completed during the first quarter of
2001.

Net Interest Income (Expense). Net interest is associated with cash
balances and third-party debt in our operating companies. Because FMC
Corporation has historically funded most of its businesses centrally, third-
party debt and cash for operating companies have been minimal and are not
representative of what our actual debt or cash balances would have been had we
been a separate, stand-alone entity. Net interest expense in 2000 was $4.3
million, compared to interest income of $0.5 million in 1999. The increase in
net interest expense in 2000 was primarily the result of a reduction of short-
term marketable securities in foreign businesses.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense in 2000 was $22.7 million,
resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.0%, as compared to income tax expense
of $33.5 million and an effective tax rate of 30.4% in 1999. The differences
between the effective tax rates for these periods and the statutory U.S.
Federal income tax rate relate primarily to differing foreign tax rates,
foreign sales corporation benefits, incremental state taxes and non-deductible
goodwill amortization and expenses. A greater benefit from lower foreign tax
rates in 2000 accounted for the overall decreased effective rate compared to
1999.

Discontinued Operations. In 1999, we recorded a provision for
discontinued operations of $9.0 million ($5.5 million after tax) to increase
our actuarially-determined product liability reserves associated with
discontinued machinery businesses. See Note 12 to our combined financial
statements for further information regarding this provision, our discontinued
operations reserves and related product liability claims.

Net Income. Net income in 2000 decreased $3.1 million, or 4.4%, to $67.9
million, compared to $71.0 million in 1999.

Order Backlog. Our combined order backlog as of December 31, 2000 was
$644.3 million, of which $331.4 million was related to Energy Production
Systems, $93.7 million was related to Energy Processing Systems, $88.6 million
was related to FoodTech and $130.6 million was related to Airport Systems. Our
combined order backlog as of December 31, 1999 was $840.6 million, of which
$492.3 million was related to Energy Production Systems, $101.1 million was
related to Energy Processing Systems, $114.3 million was related to FoodTech
and $132.9 million was related to Airport Systems. The decline in Energy
Production Systems' order backlog in 2000 as compared with 1999 was primarily
related to delays by oil and gas companies in the awarding of new contracts for
large subsea projects in the North Sea and West Africa. The decline in order
backlog for Energy Processing Systems in 2000 as compared with 1999 reflected
lower orders for blending and transfer systems partly offset by an increase in
order backlog for measurement equipment. The decline in order backlog for
FoodTech in 2000 as compared with 1999 was primarily the result of our
increased deliveries of food processing equipment and the receipt of fewer
orders in 2000.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

Overview. Our profit for the year ended December 31, 1999 before
significant non-recurring items was $119.6 million before tax ($82.4 million
after tax), compared with earnings for the year ended December 31, 1998 of
$125.8 million ($87.2 million after tax). Significant one-time items in the
1999 period consisted of impairment and restructuring and other charges of $9.6
million ($5.9 million after tax) and a charge related to discontinued
operations of $9.0 million ($5.5 million after tax). No significant one-time
items occurred during 1998.

Revenue. Our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999 decreased
$232.4 million, or 10.6%, to $1,953.1 million, compared to $2,185.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998, as a result of a decline in revenue across
all of our segments. Energy Production Systems' revenue in 1999 decreased $28.3
million, or 3.5%, to $785.2 million from $813.5 million in 1998. Energy
Processing Systems' revenue in 1999 decreased $159.9 million, or 31.5%, to
$348.5 million from $508.4 million in 1998. FoodTech's revenue in 1999
decreased $12.0 million, or 2.2%, to $537.3 million from $549.3 million in
1998. Airport Systems' revenue in 1999 decreased $29.1 million, or 9.1%, to
$290.9 million, compared to $320.0 million in 1998.

Revenue from Energy Production Systems decreased in 1999, primarily as a
result of lower sales of surface wellhead equipment in all regions. Factors
affecting our Energy Production Systems business in 1999 included market
uncertainty related to the direction of crude oil and natural gas prices and
consolidation by major oil companies. The decrease in revenue was offset in
part by an increase in deliveries relating to the Elf Girassol Angola and Terra
Nova projects, and higher sales to several alliance customers, including Shell
Exploration and Production U.S.A. and Exxon Mobil Corporation.

Energy Processing Systems' 1999 revenue was lower as a result of the
divestiture of Crosby Valve in 1998 and lower sales for both fluid control
equipment and the measurement business. The Crosby Valve business, which had
revenue of $52.5 million through the date of divestiture in July 1998, was sold
to a subsidiary of Tyco International Ltd., as it was not strategically aligned
with our other businesses. A downturn in crude oil and natural gas prices in
1998 and continued uncertainty surrounding these prices in the first half of
1999 lowered oilfield service company demand for fluid control equipment. In
addition, consolidations in the oil and gas industry negatively affected sales
of measurement systems.

FoodTech's lower revenue in 1999 was mainly the result of lower sales of
our freezing systems and the divestiture of our converting equipment product
line in 1998. Partly offsetting these reductions were increased sales in 1999
of food processing equipment to major food processors, primarily canning
systems and tomato and citrus equipment sales to global markets.

The decline in Airport Systems' revenue in 1999 compared to its revenue
in 1998 was primarily due to lower domestic sales of cargo loaders, as most of
the major airlines completed replacement programs of older fleets in 1998 and
returned to more normal purchasing patterns in 1999. Lower revenue was also
attributable to decreased volumes in 1999 in our Jetway(R) business. This
reduction was partially offset by increased sales of ground support equipment
to European airports and airlines.

Segment Operating Profit. Total segment operating profit decreased $6.7
million, or 4.0%, in 1999 to $161.3 million, compared to $168.0 million in
1998. Energy Production Systems' operating profit in 1999 increased $23.2
million, or 55.8%, to $64.8 million from $41.6 million in 1998. Energy
Processing Systems' operating profit in 1999 decreased $21.3 million, or 39.7%,
to $32.3 million from $53.6 million in 1998. FoodTech's operating profit
increased $6.8 million, or 15.6%, in 1999 to $50.3 million, compared to $43.5
million in 1998. Operating profit for Airport Systems declined $15.4 million,
or 52.6%, to $13.9 million in 1999 from $29.3 million in 1998.

Increased operating profitability for Energy Production Systems in 1999
was attributable to improved margins driven by product mix and cost reduction
efforts, the result of which more than offset the effect on profitability of
lower sales volume.

Energy Processing Systems' operating profit in 1999 and 1998 included
pre-tax gains of $4.6 million and $16.0 million, respectively, from the sale of
assets. Excluding these gains, Energy Processing Systems' operating profit
declined $9.9 million, or 26.3%, to $27.7 million in 1999 from $37.6 million in
1998. The decrease in operating profit in 1999 was the result of lower sales
volumes, primarily for fluid control equipment, reflecting the response of our
customers to lower crude oil and natural gas prices.

FoodTech's higher operating profit in 1999 compared to 1998 was the
result of improved pricing, a higher percentage of sales to the food and citrus
processing industries and lower operating expenses in our freezer business.

Airport Systems' lower operating profit in 1999 compared to 1998 was a
result of lower sales volumes, particularly for loaders, and lower profits for
passenger boarding bridge projects due to a cost overrun in 1999 associated
with an international Jetway(R) project.

Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 3.1%,
to $35.3 million in 1999 from $36.4 million in 1998, due to ongoing and prior
cost reduction efforts.

Other Expense, net. Other income and expense is comprised primarily of
LIFO inventory adjustments and pension income or expense. Pension and
postretirement benefit expense of $8.7 million in 1999 increased from $2.9
million in 1998 because of a decrease in the discount rate used to calculate
pension expense in 1999 and a 1999 provision for nonqualified pension benefits.

Asset Impairments and Restructuring and Other Charges. In the third
quarter of 1999, we recorded asset impairments and restructuring and other one-
time charges totaling $9.6 million before taxes, or $5.9 million after taxes.
Asset impairments of $6.0 million before taxes were required to write down
selected FoodTech assets as estimated future cash flows attributed to these
assets indicated that an impairment of the assets had occurred. The
restructuring and other one-time charges of $3.6 million before taxes resulted
primarily from strategic decisions to divest or restructure selected corporate
departments and a number of businesses, including selected Energy Processing
Systems and FoodTech operations.

Net Interest Income (Expense). Because FMC Corporation has historically
funded most of its businesses centrally, third-party debt and cash for
operating companies have been minimal and are not representative of what our
actual debt or cash balances would have been had we been a separate, stand-
alone entity. Net interest income in 1999 was $0.5 million, compared to net
interest expense in 1998 of $1.9 million. The reduced net interest expense in
1999 resulted from lower average debt balances.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense in 1999 was $33.5 million,
resulting in an effective tax rate of 30.4%, compared to income tax expense of
$38.6 million and an effective tax rate of 30.7% in 1998. The differences
between the effective tax rates for these periods and the statutory U.S.
Federal income tax rate relate primarily to differing foreign tax rates,
foreign sales corporation benefits, incremental state taxes and non-deductible
goodwill amortization and expenses.

Discontinued Operations. In 1999, we recorded a provision for
discontinued operations of $9.0 million ($5.5 million after tax) to increase
our actuarially-determined product liability reserves associated with
discontinued businesses. See Note 12 to our combined financial statements for
further information regarding this provision, our discontinued operations
reserves and related product liability claims.

Net Income. Net income in 1999 decreased $16.2 million, or 18.6%, to
$71.0 million, compared to $87.2 million in 1998.

Order Backlog. Our combined order backlog as of December 31, 1999 was
$840.6 million, of which $492.3 million was related to Energy Production
Systems, $101.1 million was related to Energy Processing Systems, $114.3
million was related to FoodTech and $132.9 million was related to Airport
Systems. Our combined order backlog as of December 31, 1998 was $1,133.9
million, of which $761.1 million was related to

Energy Production Systems, $116.8 million was related to Energy Processing
Systems, $128.3 million was related to FoodTech and $127.8 million was related
to Airport Systems.

The lower order backlog for Energy Production Systems reflected reduced
customer spending for oil and gas exploration and production in 1999 as
compared to 1998. Lower order backlog for Energy Processing Systems was due to
reductions in orders for fluid control and measurement equipment partly offset
by an increase in backlog for our blending and transfer business. Lower order
backlog for FoodTech in 1999 compared with 1998 was the result of timing of
significant projects, primarily $19.0 million that related to two orders
completed during 1999. Higher order backlog for Airport Systems in 1999 was
attributable to Jetway(R) passenger boarding bridges and was partly offset by a
decrease in order backlog for other airport ground support equipment.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had cash and cash equivalents of $12.0 million at March 31, 2001, and
$17.8 million and $40.1 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Cash required by operating activities was $22.2 million and $32.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. We generated cash
from operating activities of $8.0 million in 2000, compared to $152.7 million
in 1999 and $196.4 million in 1998. Operating working capital, which excludes
cash and cash equivalents, short-term debt and income tax balances, increased
$110.4 million from $40.6 million at December 31, 1999 to $151.0 million at
December 31, 2000. Operating working capital increased $18.6 million from
December 31, 2000 to $169.6 million at March 31, 2001. Our working capital
balances vary significantly depending on the payment terms and timing of
delivery on key contracts, particularly for Energy Production Systems'
customers. During 1998 and 1999, working capital requirements declined
significantly due to favorable advance payment terms on key contracts, many of
which were approaching completion in 2000. Working capital requirements rose
significantly in 2000 and in the first quarter of 2001 due to the delay by oil
and natural gas companies in awarding significant new long-term contracts, and
a trend toward lower advance payments.

During the fourth quarter of 1999, FMC Corporation entered into an
accounts receivable financing facility under which accounts receivable are sold
without recourse through a wholly owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. As part
of FMC Corporation, we have participated in the receivable financing facility,
which resulted in a reduction of accounts receivable of $38.0 million and $22.3
million on our combined balance sheets at December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Net discounts recognized on sales of receivables are included in
selling, general and administrative expenses in the combined statements of
income and amounted to $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Cash required by investing activities was $7.9 million and $12.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash provided
by investing activities was $63.4 million in 2000, compared to cash required by
investing activities of $6.5 million in 1999 and $128.6 million in 1998. Cash
inflows in 2000 include the redemption of Tyco preferred stock received in
conjunction with the sale of Crosby Valve for $128.7 million, including
dividends of $1.2 million. In addition, in 2000, we acquired Northfield
Freezing Equipment for $39.8 million in cash and the assumption of liabilities.
In 1998, we acquired a majority interest in a wellhead manufacturing business
for $82.8 million, net of cash acquired, and in 1999, we acquired additional
outstanding shares of the same business for $21.7 million and now own
approximately 98%. We routinely evaluate potential acquisitions, divestitures
and joint ventures in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently
engaged in any negotiations or discussions with third parties regarding any
material transactions.

During 2000 and 1999, we entered into agreements for the sale and
leaseback of $13.7 million and $29.1 million of equipment, respectively. We
received net proceeds of $22.5 million in 2000 and $52.1 million in 1999 in
connection with these transactions. Non-amortizing deferred credits were
recorded in conjunction with the sale transactions. These credits totaled $31.8
and $23.4 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and are included
in other long-term liabilities. For more information on these sale and
leaseback transactions, see Note 7 to our combined financial statements.

Total borrowings were $31.7 million at March 31, 2001, and $41.1 million
and $12.0 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Because FMC
Corporation has historically funded most of its businesses centrally, third-
party debt and cash for operating companies has been minimal and is not
representative of what our actual debt balances would have been had we been a
separate stand-alone entity.

We anticipate that our debt after giving effect to this offering will be
approximately $305.1 million, or $274.1 million if the underwriters'
overallotment option is fully exercised and the net proceeds thereof are all
applied to repay indebtedness. These amounts include approximately $273.4
million, which will be distributed to FMC Corporation and was calculated on the
basis of our pro forma results through March 31, 2001. In addition, the amount
of debt we will incur will be adjusted for our net cash flow from April 1, 2001
through May 31, 2001, the date on which FMC Corporation transferred our
businesses to us. On June 4, 2001, we borrowed $280.9 million, which we
distributed to FMC Corporation. This borrowing will be subject to adjustment
after this offering to reflect our actual net cash flow for the period from
January 1, 2001 through May 31, 2001. This borrowing carries an effective
interest rate of 100 basis points above the one-month London Interbank Offered
Rate. We also entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to $50.0
million of the amount borrowed to fix the effective interest rate thereon at
5.63%. After this offering, our committed credit will consist of two revolving
credit facilities: a $250 million five-year credit agreement and a $150 million
364-day revolving credit facility. As a part of FMC Corporation, we previously
had access to funds available under FMC Corporation's revolving credit and
other debt facilities, which will remain with FMC Corporation in the
separation. In order to allocate debt between the remaining businesses of FMC
Corporation and us in the separation, we entered into the $250 million five-
year credit agreement and the $150 million 364-day revolving credit facility
and, in accordance with the separation and distribution agreement, will
distribute to FMC Corporation amounts that we borrow under these credit
facilities in connection with the separation. In addition, we expect to
distribute the approximately $204.5 million of net proceeds from this offering
to FMC Corporation. After this offering, we anticipate that the amounts
available to support our operating needs under these committed credit
agreements will be $126.6 million, or $157.7 million if the underwriters'
overallotment option is fully exercised. Our management believes that the
amount of debt that we have assumed or incurred or will incur represents a
reasonable and appropriate level of debt for our company.

We expect to meet our operating needs, fund capital expenditures and
potential acquisitions and meet debt service requirements through cash
generated from operations and the credit facilities discussed above. Upon the
completion of this offering, we will discontinue selling accounts receivable.
Consequently, it is expected that receivables will increase over time with a
corresponding increase in debt. As of March 31, 2001, the balance of accounts
receivable we sold was approximately $33.8 million. Capital spending is
forecast to be approximately $60 million for 2001, compared with $43.1 million
in 2000.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND MARKET RISKS

We are subject to financial market risks, including fluctuations in
currency exchange rates. In managing our exposure to these risks, we may use
derivative financial instruments in accordance with the established policies
and procedures discussed below. We do not use derivative financial instruments
for trading purposes. At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, our derivative
holdings consisted primarily of foreign currency forward contracts.

When our operations sell or purchase products or services, transactions
are frequently denominated in currencies other than the particular operation's
functional currency. We mitigate our exposure to variability in currency
exchange rates when possible through the use of natural hedges, whereby
purchases and sales in the same foreign currency and with similar maturity
dates offset one another. Additionally, we initiate hedging activities,
generally by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts with third
parties when natural hedges are not feasible. The maturity dates and currencies
of the exchange agreements that provide hedge coverage are synchronized with
those of the underlying purchase or sales commitments, and the amount of hedge
coverage related to each underlying transaction does not exceed the amount of
the underlying purchase or sales commitment.

To monitor our currency exchange rate risks, we use a sensitivity
analysis, which measures the impact on earnings of an immediate 10% devaluation
in the foreign currencies to which we have exposure. This calculation assumes
that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S.
dollar. Based on the sensitivity analysis at March 31, 2001, such a fluctuation
in currency exchange rates in the near term would not materially affect our
combined operating results, financial position or cash flows. We believe that
our hedging activities have been effective in reducing our risks related to
historical currency exchange rate fluctuations.

As of December 31, 1999 and 2000, we held foreign exchange forward
contracts with notional amounts of approximately $388.7 million and $417.8
million, respectively, in which foreign currencies (primarily Norwegian krone,
Singapore dollars and British pounds) were purchased. As of those same dates,
we also held foreign exchange forward contracts with notional amounts of
approximately $254.2 million and $335.7 million, respectively, in which foreign
currencies (primarily Singapore dollars, British pounds, euros and Norwegian
krone in 1999 and Norwegian krone, Swedish krona, Singapore dollars and British
pounds in 2000) were sold. Notional amounts are used to measure the volume of
derivative financial instruments and do not represent potential gains or losses
on these agreements.

During September 1998, we entered into $33.0 million of forward contracts
to offset risks associated with the portions of our Brazilian investments
denominated in the Brazilian real. During the first quarter of 1999, the
Brazilian real devalued. Losses from the decline in value of our real-
denominated investments during the 1999 devaluation, as well as 1999 economic
losses related to the Brazilian economic crisis, were offset by gains on these
forward contracts.

Our debt instruments will subject us to the risk of loss associated with
movements in interest rates. We may from time to time enter into arrangements
to manage or mitigate interest rate risk utilizing derivative financial
instruments.

For more information on derivative financial instruments, see Notes 3 and
14 to the combined financial statements.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, was effective for
our combined financial statements beginning January 1, 2001. This statement
requires us to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.
If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in
the fair value of the derivative are either offset against the change in fair
value of the hedged item through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive
income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion
of a derivative's change in fair value is recognized in earnings immediately.
Our adoption of this statement on January 1, 2001 resulted in the recognition
of a net loss of $4.7 million after tax in the combined statement of income and
a charge of $1.3 million after tax to other comprehensive income in the first
quarter of 2001, both of which were accounted for as the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle.

CONVERSION TO THE EURO

On January 1, 1999, 11 European Union member states adopted the euro as
their common national currency. During the transition period ending January 1,
2002, either the euro or a participating country's present currency will be
accepted as legal tender. Beginning on January 1, 2002, euro-denominated bills
and coins will be issued, and by July 1, 2002, the euro will be the only
currency that the member states will use.

We continue to address the strategic, financial, legal and systems issues
related to the various phases of the transition. We are evaluating customer and
business needs on a timely basis and are attempting to anticipate and prevent
complications related to the conversion. Throughout the transition period, we
have incurred and will continue to incur minor costs related primarily to
programming changes in our information systems.

BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

We design, manufacture and service technologically sophisticated systems
and products for our customers through our Energy Production Systems, Energy
Processing Systems, FoodTech and Airport Systems segments. Energy Production
Systems is a leading supplier of systems and services used in the offshore,
particularly deepwater, exploration and production of crude oil and natural
gas. Energy Processing Systems is a leading provider of specialized systems and
products to customers involved in the production, transportation and processing
of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum-based products. FoodTech is a
leading supplier of technologically sophisticated food handling and processing
systems and products to industrial food processing companies. Airport Systems
provides technologically advanced equipment and services for airlines, airports
and air freight companies. During the year ended December 31, 2000, we
generated $1,875.2 million of revenue after intercompany eliminations. In 2000,
our Energy Production Systems and Energy Processing Systems, which we
collectively refer to as our Energy Systems businesses, generated $1,037.3
million of revenue after intercompany eliminations, resulting in a 14.5%
compound annual growth rate since 1994. FoodTech and Airport Systems generated
$573.3 million and $267.2 million of revenue in 2000, respectively, resulting
in compound annual growth rates of 10.4% and 12.5% since 1994, respectively.

OUR ENERGY SYSTEMS BUSINESSES

We supply subsea systems to leading exploration and production companies.
We are a major supplier of subsea tree systems and associated services to five
companies projected to be among the eight most active developers of subsea oil
and gas over the next five years based on projected subsea tree installations.
In addition, during the first quarter of 2001, we entered into a five-year
alliance with BP p.l.c. regarding its deepwater development programs in the
Gulf of Mexico. Although BP has not historically accounted for a significant
portion of our revenue, this alliance is anticipated to generate $250 million
in revenue and is renewable for an additional five years. We believe that the
continuing consolidation in the oil and gas industry will lead to further
outsourcing by the major oil companies and the selection of a limited number of
vendors. We believe our customers prefer vendors that can provide comprehensive
systems and services that are engineered to fit their individual needs--
particularly for highly capital-intensive and technologically challenging
subsea deepwater projects.

With our integrated systems for subsea exploration and production, we
have aggressively pursued alliances with oil and gas companies that are
actively engaged in the subsea development of crude oil and natural gas.
Development of subsea fields, particularly in deepwater environments, involves
substantial capital investments by our customers. Our customers have sought the
security of alliances with us to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of
subsea and other energy-related systems that provide an integrated solution to
their needs. Our alliances establish important ongoing relationships with our
customers. While most of our alliances do not commit our customers to purchase
our systems and services, they have historically led to, and we expect that
they will continue to result in, such purchases.

We have an established presence in more than 30 countries and are
involved in all of the world's major subsea crude oil and natural gas basins
currently under development. Since 1995, we have installed, or been awarded
contracts for the installation of, more subsea tree systems than any other
manufacturer. Since 1994, we have installed more than 315 subsea trees, which
reside on the ocean floor and are used to control and regulate the flow of
crude oil and natural gas from wells. Of the trees that we have installed since
1994, approximately 89% are located off the coast of Brazil, in the Gulf of
Mexico, off the coast of West Africa or in the North Sea. Deepwater fields are
forecasted to account for 90% of the reserves to be developed in fields off the
coast of Brazil, 89% in the Gulf of Mexico and 45% off the coast of West
Africa.

We have developed our leadership position through our investment in and
application of technology to our systems and products. In 1987, we set a world
record for the deepest subsea tree completion at 1,348 feet off of the coast of
Brazil, and between 1987 and 2000, we set another five world records. To
maintain our leading technology, between 1994 and 2000, we have increased our
research and development spending by an average of 15.7% per year. Our research
and development teams have focused on introducing new systems and services that
lower our customers' operating costs and capital requirements to access
deepwater reserves. To meet the demands of crude oil and natural gas production
in increasingly deeper water, we are currently focusing on developing subsea
systems for use in up to 10,000 feet of water under conditions that involve
extreme well pressures and temperatures. In addition, to enhance the recovery
of subsea crude oil and natural gas reserves and improve the financial returns
associated with subsea developments, we are developing systems that are
intended to lower the cost of intervening into subsea wells and to put subsea
processing and other production-related activities on the ocean floor.

Although trends in the demand for and price of crude oil and natural gas
affect oil and gas industry activity and expenditure levels and thereby the
demand for the systems and services supplied by our Energy Systems businesses,
Energy Production Systems' financial performance generally has been less
affected by short-term market cycles and volatile commodity prices than the
financial performance of companies operating in other sectors of the oilfield
services industry. Most of the systems that we supply are highly engineered to
meet the unique demands of our customers and are typically ordered one or two
years prior to installation. We believe that, due to their long lead times and
high potential returns, the deepwater projects in which our systems are used
typically are not the marginal projects that are more subject to cancellation
or delay during periods of low crude oil and natural gas prices. In addition,
we believe that our Energy Systems businesses are less capital intensive than
companies operating in other sectors of the oilfield services industry due to
factors such as high engineering content, the outsourcing of certain low value-
added manufacturing and advance payments received from customers.

Energy Processing Systems designs, manufactures and supplies
technologically advanced high pressure valves and fittings for oilfield
services customers as well as liquid and gas measurement and transportation
equipment and systems to customers involved in the production, transportation
and processing of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum-based refined products.
The combination of Energy Production Systems and Energy Processing Systems
provides us the ability to offer our customers a broad spectrum of systems,
equipment and services. The value to us of this broad spectrum of offerings is
evidenced by the number of orders from customers for products and services from
both Energy Production Systems and Energy Processing Systems.

Energy Processing Systems is a leading supplier of flowline products.
These high-pressure fittings, valves and pumps are used by other oilfield
services companies in pumping corrosive fracturing fluid into a well during the
well servicing process. Unlike the systems offered by Energy Production
Systems, our flowline products are typically ordered early in the energy cycle,
as well stimulation typically results in immediate increased production with
limited capital expenditure. In addition, unlike many of our other products and
systems, our flowline products are typically ordered on a replacement basis, as
the combination of corrosive fluid and high pressures requires that these
products be reordered on a continual basis.

We are also a leading supplier of measurement systems and services for
the precise, cost-effective measurement of crude oil and natural gas. In
addition, we are a leading supplier of marine and land-based fluid

loading and transfer systems, including liquefied natural gas loading arms.
Finally, we also develop and manufacture turnkey systems used primarily for the
blending and transfer of lubricants, petroleum, chemicals and paints.

Similar to Energy Production Systems, we have developed our leadership
positions through our investment in and application of technology. Our flowline
products are engineered to withstand the flow of corrosive chemicals at high
pressures. For example, our high-pressure fittings are used for the
transportation of corrosive chemicals at pressures of up to 15,000 pounds per
square inch. Further, we developed and sold the first marine loading arm in the
world as well as the world's first liquefied natural gas loading arm. Our
loading arms permit marine-based offloading in severe weather conditions as
well as in areas of geological activity.

We provide our customers with extensive aftermarket services for our
large installed base of products. We have supplied over 1,500 measurement
systems, 8,000 marine-based loading arms, 300 liquefied natural gas loading
arms and 300 blending systems.

GROWTH STRATEGY

Worldwide exploration and production spending is expected to increase an
estimated 18.1% in 2001 to $107.5 billion. More specifically, an external
industry survey published in early 2000 projected that subsea tree
installations would increase at a compound annual growth rate of 17.0% between
2000 and 2004.

From 1994 to 2000, our Energy Systems businesses' revenue and segment
operating profit increased at compound annual rates of 14.5% and 31.8%,
respectively. Revenue for 1994 includes the first full year of our ownership of
two acquired subsea businesses, Kongsberg Offshore A.S. and SOFEC, Inc. These
two acquisitions substantially expanded our scope of subsea products and
contributed to the development of our subsea systems and floating production
offerings.

We believe that growth in Energy Processing Systems will result from many
of the same factors that will influence the growth of Energy Production
Systems. As worldwide production and demand for crude oil and natural gas
increases, demand for our systems and services that facilitate the production,
transportation and measurement of these commodities also tends to increase.
Energy Processing Systems' growth will also be based upon our ability to
maintain our position as a supplier of high-pressure fittings and valves. The
demand for these products is impacted by our customers' need to replace these
products due to the corrosive nature of the fluid they transport.

In addition to benefiting from the expected growth in the business areas
we serve, we intend to pursue select, complementary acquisitions and the
following internal growth strategy:

. FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION. We have increased the research and
development spending of our Energy Systems businesses by a compound
annual rate of 15.7% from 1994 to 2000 to $33.8 million in 2000. We
believe that our technological innovations have optimized product
performance and led to breakthrough reductions in our customers'
capital and operational costs. These reductions have been driven by
improved installation techniques, more efficient system design, and
higher levels of product performance. These innovations have helped
to make deepwater production and the development of smaller fields an
economic reality. We believe that reductions in the total cost of
ownership of an offshore field and the technological challenges posed
by ultra-deepwater production have been, and will continue to be,
major factors influencing the development of our Energy Production
Systems' subsea products and services.

. DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN ALLIANCES WITH KEY CUSTOMERS. We intend to
expand our current alliances and form new alliances with other
companies active in the oil and gas industry. Through our
relationships with our customers, we are able to refine and
standardize our systems and services over many projects and to
optimize offshore installation techniques for the lowest total cost
and maximum reservoir recovery.

. PROVIDE A BROAD PACKAGE OF SYSTEMS AND SERVICES. We intend to develop
and acquire additional systems and services that complement our
current offerings and leverage our worldwide infrastructure. As major
oil companies increasingly outsource non-core operations, we believe
that they will continue to seek suppliers, like us, that can provide
an integrated solution to their exploration and production needs
through a single-sourced package of related systems and services.

INDUSTRY

The primary factor influencing demand for our exploration and production
systems and services, as well as our transportation and measurement equipment
and services, is the exploration and production spending of oil and gas
companies, particularly with respect to offshore activities worldwide.
Exploration and production spending levels, in turn, depend primarily on
current and anticipated future crude oil and natural gas prices, production
volumes and oil and gas company operating costs.

The oil and gas industry has increasingly focused on deepwater field
development. This heightened focus has resulted in increases in new deepwater
discoveries, deepwater exploration and production spending, offshore crude oil
and natural gas production volume and the number of deepwater drilling rigs.
For example, the number of deepwater crude oil and natural gas discoveries has
increased from 16 during 1994 to 68 during 1999. Deepwater fields are forecast
to account for 90% of the reserves to be developed in fields off the coast of
Brazil, 89% in the Gulf of Mexico and 45% off the coast of West Africa. Since
1978, a total of 40 billion barrels of oil equivalent has been discovered in
deepwater locations, and only 4% of those barrels have been produced.

We estimate that, in 1994, the major oil and gas companies spent
approximately 22% of their exploration and production budgets on deepwater
activities. We further estimate that, in 2000, they spent approximately 50% of
their exploration and production budgets on deepwater activities. This
increased exploration and production activity in offshore fields has resulted
in significant increases in the amount of crude oil and natural gas produced
from offshore areas in recent years. In 1990, worldwide non-OPEC offshore oil
production was 10.9 million barrels of oil per day, representing 26% of the
worldwide non-OPEC production. In 2000, worldwide non-OPEC offshore oil
production was 19.3 million barrels of oil per day, representing 40% of the
worldwide non-OPEC production.

The oilfield services industry has recognized this movement to offshore
and deepwater exploration and production and is investing the capital required
to meet the demands of this increasing activity. For example, offshore drilling
contractors are increasing the number of drilling rigs capable of operating in
deepwater. A drilling rig capable of operating in ultra-deepwater, which
involves depths beyond 5,000 feet, represents a significant investment,
typically between $160 million and $380 million for a new rig. Since 1994, 41
new drilling rigs were added to operate in ultra-deepwater. This represents
approximately a six-fold increase from 1994 levels of drilling rigs with
equivalent water depth capabilities.

The reduction in development costs of crude oil and natural gas and the
development of efficient technological solutions in response to the extreme
environmental and logistical challenges presented by deepwater have been, and
we believe will continue to be, major factors influencing the growth of the
subsea oilfield services industry. In addition, consolidation among oil and gas
companies, and the cost-cutting initiatives that have resulted, have led to
more outsourcing of functions previously performed by the oil and gas
companies. These factors have driven three principal ongoing trends:

. technological improvements and refined installation techniques;

. growth in the use of subsea systems and services; and

. delivery of more integrated systems of related products and services
for subsea developments.

Technological improvements and refined installation techniques. Oil and
gas companies have increasingly relied upon more sophisticated technologies to
reach remote crude oil and natural gas reserves deep below the ocean's surface.
Advances in exploration and production techniques, such as three-dimensional
seismic data collection and interpretation, directional drilling, deepwater
completion technology and floating production facilities, have contributed
significantly to the ability of oil and gas companies to economically recover
these remote reserves. For example, oil and gas companies have increasingly
used technologically sophisticated floating production platforms, as opposed to
fixed platforms, as they permit oil and gas companies to produce, process and
offload crude oil and natural gas from offshore fields having widely differing
production characteristics and water depths. These include:

. floating production, storage and offloading vessels, or FPSOs, which
are ships fitted with crude oil and natural gas production and
processing systems;

. tension leg platforms, or TLPs, which are floating production and
drilling structures that are anchored to the ocean floor with
tendons; and

. SPARs, which are cylindrical floating production and drilling
structures anchored to the seabed by a spread mooring pattern of
cables.

In 1994, there were only four TLPs and no SPARs in operation worldwide. In
2001, it is anticipated that the number of units in operation worldwide will
increase to 14 TLPs and four SPARs. Likewise, currently, there are 72 FPSOs in
operation or under construction, as compared to 23 in 1994.

Technological improvements and refined installation techniques provide
opportunities for Energy Systems to expand our subsea offerings to new,
complementary technologies that are used in deepwater production.

Growth in the use of subsea products and services. As improved subsea
technology has increased the water depths at which this technology may be
applied, the number of subsea completions installed each year on a worldwide
basis has increased significantly, from 123 in 1994 to an estimated 206 in
2000, representing a 9.0% compound annual growth rate. In addition, oil and gas
companies have used subsea technology in conjunction with floating production
technology to develop reservoirs where a fixed platform is not economical or
practical. These techniques have become increasingly important as cost-
efficient methods to recover crude oil and natural gas reserves.

In response to this trend, we intend to continue to expand and improve
our capabilities for engineering, project management, global procurement,
manufacturing, construction and testing, as well as field support for
installation, commissioning, intervention and maintenance of subsea
developments throughout the life of the field.

Delivery of more integrated solutions for subsea developments. To further
reduce the cost of subsea developments, oil and gas companies are increasingly
relying on a primary subsea contractor to provide extensive project
coordination and management. As a result of this trend, engineering,
procurement, installation and commissioning, or EPIC, turnkey contracting has
emerged as one alternative to customary, segmented contracts. One form of
subsea EPIC turnkey contracting involves a single contractor providing global
project coordination and management for a broad range of products and services.
In EPIC turnkey contracting, significant cost efficiencies can be realized by a
primary contractor with extensive internal resources. As such, a primary
contractor like us is generally able to engineer and design integrated systems
that have a minimum number of interface gaps between otherwise independent
products and systems.

Consolidation among oil and gas companies, as evidenced by the publicly-
announced mergers and acquisitions within the oil and gas sector, has also
driven the demand for integrated solutions for subsea developments. These
consolidations and the resulting cost-cutting initiatives have led to more
outsourcing of

functions previously performed by the oil and gas companies, such as project
engineering and project management. We believe this will lead to a greater
demand for integrated subsea systems and services like those we provide.

In addition to the total level of exploration and production of crude oil
and natural gas, demand for fuel, the type of fuel demanded and the location of
such demand influence the demand for transportation, measurement and processing
systems and products. Economic factors influencing spending by the customers of
Energy Processing Systems include the demand for natural gas, demand for
liquefied natural gas, facility upgrades in refineries and distribution
terminals and new pipeline and distribution terminal construction.

SYSTEMS, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Our Energy Systems businesses provide customers with systems consisting
of a package of technologically sophisticated products and services. We design
and manufacture each system to provide our customers with a customized
combination of products and services that offer integrated solutions to help
solve the problems they face in the exploration, production, transportation and
processing of crude oil and natural gas.

We market our systems through our own sales force comprised of over 150
technically-oriented sales personnel, as well as agents in selected countries
who operate on a commission basis. Approximately 39% of Energy Systems' sales
are made on a percentage of completion basis as opposed to a "ship and bill"
basis.

ENERGY PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

Subsea Systems. We are a leading supplier of systems used in the
production of crude oil and natural gas reserves located below the ocean's
surface. Subsea systems are placed on the seafloor and are used to control the
flow of crude oil and natural gas from the reservoir to a host facility, such
as an FPSO, TLP, SPAR or fixed platform. A host facility remotely controls the
subsea equipment and acts as a distribution hub to receive the crude oil and
natural gas produced from the subsea wells. The distance between a subsea
system and the host facility can vary from near proximity to 20 or more miles.
Subsea systems require sophisticated technology, requiring a high degree of
technical expertise and innovation. These systems are designed to withstand
exposure to the extreme atmospheric pressure that deepwater environments
present as well as internal pressures of up to 15,000 pounds per square inch
from the well. For deepwater developments, subsea systems are installed with
the assistance of remotely operated vehicles that are deployed from a drilling
rig or support vessel.

We provide integrated subsea development systems, including the initial
engineering design studies, subsea completion systems, control systems,
manifolds, templates, flow line connection and tie-in systems, installation and
workover tools and wellheads. In order to provide these systems and services,
we have developed capabilities, such as system and detail engineering, project
management and global procurement, manufacturing, construction and testing, as
well as field support for installation, commissioning, intervention and
maintenance of subsea developments throughout the life of the field.

Floating Production. We are a global supplier of turret and mooring
systems for FPSOs. We also design and supply marine import and export
terminals.

A key component of the economical development of offshore crude oil and
natural gas reserves is the use of floating production systems as the host
facility. An FPSO is one type of floating production system that permits oil
and gas companies to produce, process and offload crude oil and natural gas
from offshore fields having widely differing production characteristics and
water depths. FPSOs typically perform the same function as fixed offshore
platforms in the production of crude oil and natural gas, but FPSOs cannot be
used as a platform for drilling and heavy well maintenance. In many
circumstances, FPSOs provide a number of advantages over fixed platforms. For
example, FPSOs are suitable for a wide range of field sizes and water depths,
may be reused on more than one development, generally cost less and are easier
to install and remove than fixed platforms and may reduce the time from the
discovery of crude oil and natural gas to production.

A typical field development involving an FPSO consists of wells completed
using subsea systems that are connected to the FPSO by flexible or rigid pipes
referred to as "risers" that carry the crude oil and natural gas from the ocean
floor to the vessel. The risers are connected to a turret, which is anchored in
place by a mooring system, allowing the FPSO to rotate according to the
prevailing weather and sea conditions. The FPSO controls the flow of crude oil
and natural gas from the subsea wells through a subsea control system that
communicates with each subsea well through an umbilical line. The crude oil and
natural gas are pre-processed onboard the FPSO and are exported to shuttle
tankers via off-take systems.

In addition to our capabilities for designing and producing turret and
mooring systems, we own a 37.5% interest in MODEC International LLC, a joint
venture with a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsui Group. MODEC International
designs and supplies FPSOs and TLPs. Like FPSOs, TLPs provide a number of
advantages over fixed platforms, including the ability to operate in a wider
range of water depths, generally lower installation and operating costs,
ability to reuse on other fields, easier installation and removal and,
potentially, a shorter period of time to construct and install. FPSOs are
currently used in operations off the coast of West Africa and Brazil and in the
North Sea. Although FPSOs currently are prohibited from being used off the
coast of the United States, we believe they will be approved for use in the
Gulf of Mexico within the next several years.

Surface. We provide a full range of surface wellheads and trees for
standard and critical service applications. Surface wellhead equipment is used
to support the casing and tubing strings in a well. In addition, the surface
wellhead equipment contains the well pressure, while the surface tree is used
to control and regulate the flow from the well. Our surface products and
systems are used worldwide on both land and offshore applications, including
TLP and SPAR platforms. Our technical and engineering expertise makes us a
leading supplier of critical service products used in difficult climatic
conditions, such as Arctic cold or high temperatures. Our surface business
supports its customers through leading engineering, manufacturing, field
installation support and aftermarket services.

ENERGY PROCESSING SYSTEMS

Fluid Control. We are a leading supplier of flowline products,
reciprocating pumps and compact manifold systems for a range of oilfield
applications.

Our flowline products include high-pressure swivels, fittings and valves
used by other oilfield services companies in pressure pumping applications.
These products provide the conduit between the well service pumps and the
wellhead during cementing or well stimulation operations. The corrosive
chemicals used in cementing and well stimulation operations and the high
pressure at which these chemicals are pumped into the well dictate that
flowline products typically are replaced frequently.

Our reciprocating pump product line includes duplex, triplex and
quintuplex pumps utilized in a variety of applications. Typical applications
include charge pumps for blow-out preventor accumulators, injection pumps for
enhanced production and pumps utilized in reverse osmosis systems for producing
potable water on offshore and other remote locations. In addition, we are a
leading supplier of pumps to the trenchless drilling industry, which has
emerged as the primary means of laying fiber optic cable.

We are a leading supplier of compact production manifolds for the
offshore industry. Building upon a uniquely designed family of compact valves
and fittings, we assume turnkey responsibility for the design, engineering,
manufacturing, fabrication and installation of high-pressure production
manifolds suited for applications where weight and space are of paramount
importance. As a result, our systems are used throughout the world on offshore
fixed platforms, TLPs, SPARs and FPSOs.

Loading Systems. We are a leading supplier of land and marine-based fluid
loading and transfer systems to the oil and gas industry. Our systems are
capable of loading and offloading marine vessels transporting a wide range of
fluids, such as crude oil, liquefied natural gas and refined products. While
these systems are typically constructed on a fixed jetty platform, we also
supply advanced loading systems that can be mounted on a vessel to facilitate
ship-to-ship loading and offloading operations.

Measurement Systems. We are a leading supplier of precision measurement
systems for use in custody transfer of crude oil, natural gas and refined
products. We combine the strength of advanced measurement technology with
state-of-the-art electronics and supervisory control systems to provide the
precise measurement of fluids for purposes such as verifying ownership and
determining revenue or tax obligations.

Blending and Transfer. We are a leading supplier of blending systems for
the petroleum industry, and we supply bulk conveying systems to the power
industry. Our process and software engineering, mechanical design and project
management expertise enables us to execute these projects on a turnkey basis.

FOODTECH

FoodTech is a leading supplier of specialized handling and processing
systems and services to food processing companies. We design, manufacture and
service technologically sophisticated food handling and processing systems used
for, among other things, convenience food preparation and citrus juice
extraction for industrial food processors. Our products include citrus juice
extraction equipment, sterilization systems and commercial freezing systems.

Our historical and current strong positions in business areas in which we
operate have provided us with a large installed base of systems and equipment.
We currently have an installed base of more than 5,800 industrial freezers,
2,850 juice extractors, 1,200 sterilizer units and 1,000 coating systems.

FoodTech's equipment is located in more than 100 countries around the
world. We estimate that our equipment processes approximately 75% of the global
production of orange juice, freezes approximately 50% of commercially frozen
foods on a global basis and sterilizes a significant portion of the world's
canned foods. Through our global presence, we are able to follow the
geographical expansion and consolidation of our customers and continue to
provide the same high level of service and aftermarket support around the
world.

We believe that we have leading positions in most of the business areas
in which we operate as a result of our application of superior technology to
create solutions for our customers' specific requirements. For example, our
flat product freezer is a leading technology used for freezing products such as
hamburgers. We estimate that our freezers process approximately 60% of the
hamburgers sold by McDonald's restaurants. Our continuing presence with our
customers in our aftermarket business enables us to tailor our research and
development efforts to fit our customers' specific requirements.

GROWTH STRATEGY

From 1994 to 2000, FoodTech's revenue and segment operating profit
increased at compound annual rates of 10.4% and 24.1%, respectively.

We believe FoodTech's historical growth resulted from providing
technologically based systems and products for food processing companies. In
addition to benefiting from the expected growth in many of the industry
segments we serve, we intend to continue to broaden the scope of systems,
equipment and services that we provide. We further intend to leverage our
installed base of products and systems to enhance customer relationships,
generate new business and grow our aftermarket equipment and service
operations.

. PROVIDE BROADER SOLUTIONS. We intend to grow through increasing our
scope of systems, equipment and services, such as through the
integration of coating, cooking and freezing systems. As our
customers continue to consolidate and expand geographically, they are
reducing their supplier base and developing stronger relationships
with their remaining suppliers. In the fragmented food equipment
industry, our strong customer relationships, strong industry position
and large installed base give us a unique opportunity to provide our
customers with additional systems and support.

. INCREASE AFTERMARKET OPERATIONS. We intend to continue to leverage
our large installed base of industrial freezers, sterilizer units,
coating systems and juice extractors to grow our aftermarket
equipment and services operations. From 1994 to 2000, FoodTech's
aftermarket revenue increased at a compound annual rate of
approximately 11.7%. We provide retrofits to accommodate changing
operational requirements and continuous, proactive service,
including, in some cases, on-site personnel.

INDUSTRY

Consumer demand in several segments of the convenience food industry we
serve has increased during the last decade, and is expected to continue to
grow. For example, worldwide retail sales of frozen ready meals are forecast to
increase at a compound annual rate of 4.5% through 2005. In addition, the fast
food industry is growing, and fast food companies are expanding geographically.
For example, McDonald's international restaurant sales grew at an annual rate
of 17.0% from 1985 through 1999. Trends such as these have increased the demand
for systems and services that we supply to food processors which in turn use
our systems and services to supply processed food to food retailers and fast
food restaurants.

SYSTEMS, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

We offer a broad portfolio of systems, equipment and services to our
customers. We market our systems through our own sales force comprised of
approximately 170 technically oriented sales personnel as well as in some
cases, through independent distributors and sales representatives. The majority
of FoodTech's sales are made on a "ship-and-bill" basis as opposed to under
percentage-of-completion contracts. Some of our equipment is provided under
full-service leases for which we are paid fixed rates, plus payments based on
actual production volumes. The majority of these full-service leases are three
to five years in duration and incorporate the provision of equipment and, in
many cases, full-time, on-site maintenance personnel. Our customers typically
renew such contracts upon expiration.

Food Processing Systems. We are a leading supplier of commercial citrus
processing equipment. We estimate that our citrus extraction equipment
processes approximately 75% of the global production of orange juice. Our
primary products and services include citrus juice extractors, by-product
systems and processing plants and aseptic juice and pulp systems.

We are also a leading global supplier of sterilization systems used for
the production of shelf-stable and pasteurized packaged foods including fruits,
vegetables, soups, milk and a broad range of ready meals. Components of these
systems include a filler, a closer, a sterilizer and a control system. In
addition, we are among the leading suppliers of tomato processing equipment.

Food Systems and Services. We are the largest supplier of industrial
freezing equipment to the world's food processing industry. We estimate that
our industrial freezer equipment freezes about 50% of commercially frozen foods
on a global basis. We design, assemble and sell a number of industry-leading
freezing technologies including fluidization, self-stacking spiral and flat
product freezing technologies. Our equipment is used for a variety of frozen
food products, such as meat, seafood, poultry, bakery products, ready meals,
fruits, vegetables and dairy products.

We also manufacture and supply an array of equipment and services that
enable us to provide integrated coating and cooking systems for a variety of
convenience foods. We believe that our installed base of systems processes more
meat, seafood and poultry products in North America than that of any other
supplier. Our products include continuous batter-breading, frying and oven-
cooking equipment. In addition, we supply complete processing lines for the
production of french fries and potato chips.

Aftermarket Services. We also provide aftermarket services and products
for our systems and equipment. We provide retrofits to accommodate changing
operational requirements and continuous, proactive service, including, in some
cases, on-site personnel. These systems and other services enable us to provide
an integrated approach to addressing critical problems faced by our customers.

AIRPORT SYSTEMS

Airport Systems is a leading supplier of air cargo loaders and passenger
boarding bridges to commercial airlines and air freight companies. We also
design, manufacture and service technologically advanced equipment and systems
for airlines, airports and air freight companies.

Through our leading positions in the business areas in which we operate,
we have an installed base of more than 5,500 cargo loaders, which we believe to
be the world's largest. We also have an installed base of more than 5,000
passenger boarding bridges, 750 deicers and 700 push-back tractors.

We are able to successfully deliver products around the world and
continue to provide a high level of service and aftermarket support. Airport
Systems' equipment is located in more than 70 countries around the world.

We believe that our leading positions in most of the business areas in
which we operate resulted from our ability to apply superior technology to
create solutions for the specific requirements of our customers. We invented
airline passenger boarding bridges and remain the leading supplier of this
product. In addition, as a result of our relationship with passenger boarding
bridge customers, we developed additional features such as power and
preconditioned air generators and potable water suppliers, that provide comfort
for our customers' passengers and are intended to simplify and expedite
airplane turnaround at gates.

GROWTH STRATEGY

From 1994 to 2000, Airport Systems' revenue increased at a compound
annual rate of 12.5%. Segment operating profit increased from a loss of $0.8
million in 1994 to a profit of $15.2 million in 2000.

We believe Airport Systems' historical growth resulted from providing
technology-based systems and products for airlines, airports and air freight
companies. In addition to benefiting from the expected growth in the industry
segments we serve, we intend to continue to broaden the scope of systems,
equipment and services that we provide and to grow our aftermarket products and
services.

. PROVIDE BROADER SOLUTIONS. We intend to grow through increasing the
scope of systems, equipment and services that we provide to our
customers. As our air transportation customers consolidate, expand
geographically and form alliances, our existing customer
relationships and technologically advanced systems provide us the
customer knowledge, reputation and installed base that will help us
provide more comprehensive systems and services.

. INCREASE AFTERMARKET OPERATIONS. We intend to continue to leverage
our large installed base of cargo loaders, passenger boarding bridges
and deicers to grow our aftermarket equipment and services operations
to provide improved operational efficiency for our customers. From
1994 to 2000, Airport Systems' aftermarket revenue increased at a
compound annual rate of approximately 7.3%.

INDUSTRY

Significant consolidations and strategic alliances are reshaping the air
transportation industry. Five airline alliances currently represent
approximately 50% of the total worldwide passenger traffic, causing the
industry to seek broader solutions to support the efficient use of the airplane
fleets.

As with the industries served by FoodTech, we believe that the projected
growth in the air transportation industry and the trend toward consolidation
will continue to result in airlines, airports and air freight companies
outsourcing an increasing amount of non-core services and seeking out suppliers
like us who can provide integrated systems and products that are
technologically advanced, cost-efficient and supported by extensive service
capabilities.

SYSTEMS, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

We offer a broad portfolio of systems, equipment and services to our
customers. We market our systems through our own sales force of technically
oriented sales personnel as well as in some cases through independent
distributors and sales representatives. The majority of Airport Systems' sales
are made on a "ship-and-bill" basis as opposed to under percentage-of-
completion contracts.

Air Cargo Loaders and Other Ground Support Equipment. We are a leading
supplier of air cargo loaders to commercial airlines and air freight service
providers. Our loaders service wide-body jet aircraft and can be configured to
lift up to 30 tons. We provide what we believe to be the loader of choice for
most major customers. From 1995 to present, we have been the sole supplier of
cargo loaders to FedEx Corporation. Our installed base of approximately 5,500
loaders in operation around the world is greater than that of any of our
competitors. Additionally, in 2000, we were awarded a contract to supply the
U.S. Air Force with a commercial air cargo loader known as the Next Generation
Small Loader, which is expected to generate revenue of approximately $180
million over the next five years. We also manufacture deicers and push-back
tractors.

Passenger Boarding Bridges. We manufacture Jetway(R) passenger boarding
bridges, which have been a market leader for more than 40 years. We have an
installed base of more than 5,000 Jetway(R) bridges.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The objectives of our research and development programs are to discover
new products and business opportunities in relevant fields, and to improve
existing products. Worldwide expenditures for research and development by
business segment for the three most recent fiscal years were as follows:

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

We own a number of U.S. and foreign patents, trademarks and licenses that
are cumulatively important to our business. We own approximately 1,460 U.S. and
foreign patents and have approximately 850 patent applications pending in the
United States and abroad. Further, we license certain intellectual property
rights to or from third parties. We also own numerous U.S. and foreign
trademarks and trade names and have approximately 1,040 registrations and
pending applications in the United States and abroad. We do not believe that
the loss of any one or group of related patents, trademarks or licenses would
have a material adverse effect on our overall business.

COMPETITION

We market our products primarily through our own technically-oriented
sales organization, and, in some cases, through independent distributors and
sales representatives. We conduct business worldwide in more than 100
countries. Energy Production Systems competes with other companies that supply
subsea systems and floating production products, and with smaller companies
that are focused on a specific application, technology or geographical area in
our other product areas. Energy Processing Systems competes with a number of
companies in the measurement and transportation industry, some of whom have
access to greater resources. FoodTech and Airport Systems compete with a
variety of local and regional companies, which typically are focused on a
specific application, technology or geographical area, and with a few large
multinational companies.

We compete by leveraging our industry experience to provide advanced
technology, integrated systems, high product quality and reliability and
quality aftermarket service. In our Energy Systems businesses, we differentiate
ourselves by the depth of our industry experience, engineering and design
capabilities, product performance, integrated systems, global manufacturing
capability, quality, reliability, service and price. In FoodTech and Airport
Systems, we differentiate ourselves on many of the same bases as in our Energy
Systems businesses--the depth of our industry experience, engineering and
design capabilities, product performance, integrated systems, reliability,
service and price--and, in the food processing industry in particular, on the
basis of yield and hygiene.

ORDER BACKLOG

Our combined order backlog as of March 31, 2001 was $835.8 million, of
which $440.1 million was related to Energy Production Systems, $108.4 million
was related to Energy Processing Systems, $129.3 million was related to
FoodTech and $158.0 million was related to Airport Systems. Our combined order
backlog as of December 31, 2000 was $644.3 million, of which $331.4 million was
related to Energy Production Systems, $93.7 million was related to Energy
Processing Systems, $88.6 million was related to FoodTech, and $130.6 million
was related to Airport Systems. Although we provide many of our systems,
equipment and services pursuant to long-term agreements entered into in advance
of the delivery of those items to our customers, orders are not entered into
order backlog until formally recognized by receipt of a confirmed customer
order.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2000, approximately 9,300 people were employed in our
U.S. and foreign operations. Approximately 500 of our employees are represented
by collective bargaining agreements in the United States. Outside the United
States, various local agreements apply. In 2000, three of our collective
bargaining agreements in the United States covering approximately 360 employees
were renegotiated. In 2001, one additional contract was renegotiated. We
maintain good employee relations and have successfully concluded virtually all
of our recent negotiations without a work stoppage. In those rare instances
where a work stoppage has occurred, there has been no material effect on our
combined revenue and earnings. We, however, cannot predict the outcome of
future contract negotiations.

FACILITIES AND PROPERTIES

We lease executive offices in Chicago, Illinois. Most of our plant sites
are owned. We believe our properties and facilities meet our current operating
requirements and are in good operating condition and that each of our
significant manufacturing facilities is operating at a level consistent with
the industry in which we operate. The significant production properties for
our Energy Production Systems operations currently are:

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, at the time of our
separation from FMC Corporation, we assumed liabilities related to specified
legal proceedings. As a result, although FMC Corporation remains the named
defendant, we will manage the litigation and indemnify FMC Corporation for
costs, expenses and judgments arising from this litigation.

For example, under the separation and distribution agreement, we have
assumed specified liabilities relating to discontinued machinery businesses of
FMC Corporation. Among the assumed liabilities are those arising in connection
with cranes and other equipment that several of these businesses manufactured
and sold. From time to time personal injury and other claims have been made
regarding cranes or other equipment. We have reserved $30.6 million as of
December 31, 2000, which we believe to be an adequate amount to cover any
existing liabilities arising in connection with any of these claims.

We are involved in other pending, potential and threatened legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of
litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the
resolution of the proceedings that we are involved in, either individually or
taken as a whole will have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations or financial condition.

RAW MATERIALS

For all of our business segments, we purchase carbon steel, stainless
steel, aluminum and steel castings and forgings both domestically and
internationally. We do not use single source suppliers for the majority of our
raw material purchases and believe the available supplies of raw materials are
adequate. Moreover, raw materials essential to our business are generally
readily available.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY CUSTOMERS

No single customer accounts for more than 10% of our 2000 combined
revenue.

Energy Production Systems' customers include large oil and gas companies,
and customers of Energy Processing Services include oilfield service companies.
We have signed multiyear alliances and agreements to supply some of these
customers with our systems and services. In any given year, purchases by these
large oil and gas companies and oilfield service companies vary significantly.
The loss of one or more of these customers could have a material adverse effect
on Energy Production Systems or Energy Processing Systems.

Our Airport Systems business has been the sole supplier of air cargo
loaders to FedEx Corporation since 1995. The loss of FedEx as our customer
could have a material adverse effect on Airport Systems.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

Our contract to supply the U.S. Air Force with our commercial air cargo
loader, the Next Generation Small Loader, is expected to generate revenue of
approximately $180 million over the next five years, with the potential for the
value of the contract to increase to $458 million over the next 15 years. U.S.
defense contracts

are unilaterally terminable at the option of the U.S. government with
compensation for work completed and costs incurred. Contracts with the U.S.
government are subject to special laws and regulations, the noncompliance with
which may result in various sanctions.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Our operations are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign
laws and regulations governing the prevention of pollution and the protection
of environmental quality. If we fail to comply with these environmental laws
and regulations, administrative, civil and criminal penalties may be imposed,
and we may become subject to regulatory enforcement actions in the form of
injunctions and cease and desist orders. We may also be subject to civil claims
arising out of a pollution event. These laws and regulations may expose us to
liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others or for our own acts
even though these actions were in compliance with all applicable laws at the
time they were performed.

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act, referred to as CERCLA, and related state laws and regulations,
joint and several liability can be imposed without regard to fault or the
legality of the original conduct on certain classes of persons that contributed
to the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons
include the owner and operator of a contaminated site where a hazardous
substance release occurred and any company that transported, disposed of or
arranged for the transport or disposal of hazardous substances that have been
released into the environment, and including hazardous substances generated by
any closed operations or facilities. In addition, neighboring landowners or
other third parties may file claims for personal injury, property damage and
recovery of response cost. In addition, we may be subject to the corrective
action provisions of the Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, and
analogous state laws that require owners and operators of facilities that
treat, store or dispose of hazardous waste to clean up releases of hazardous
waste constituents into the environment associated with their operations.

We are currently remediating two contaminated properties, one in
Lakeland, Florida and another in Orlando, Florida. We have set aside reserves
of $2.7 million for these sites, which we believe will be adequate to complete
the remediation projects at those sites. We are currently not aware of any
additional liability related to hazardous waste disposal sites, although other
sites may exist. Under the separation and distribution agreement between FMC
Corporation and us, we are responsible for environmental liabilities and
obligations relating to specified closed businesses, including liability for
any contamination at any former properties used in connection with those closed
businesses. We believe that it is unlikely that any material liability will be
incurred in connection with those closed businesses.

Our businesses historically have resulted in significantly less
remediation liability than those businesses remaining with FMC Corporation
under the separation and distribution agreement. For instance, as of December
31, 1999, FMC Corporation had set aside $266.8 million for environmental
liabilities, but only $3.3 million of this amount was attributable to our
businesses. We anticipate that our future exposure to environmental liabilities
associated with contaminated properties will be consistent with our past
experiences, and therefore we do not expect any material liabilities to arise
in connection with those businesses.

Some of our facilities and operations are also governed by laws and
regulations relating to worker health and workplace safety, including the
Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, or OSHA. We believe that
appropriate precautions are taken to protect our employees and others from
harmful exposure to potentially hazardous materials handled and managed at our
facilities, and that we operate in substantial compliance with all OSHA or
similar regulations.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION AND RELATIONSHIPS

COMPENSATION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

Effective as of May 1, 2001, as a part of the FMC Technologies, Inc.
Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan, we adopted a compensation plan for non-
employee directors that replicates in all material respects the FMC Corporation
Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors.

Retainer and Other Fees. Under this plan, each director who is not also
an officer of our company or FMC Corporation will be paid as of the time of
this offering $40,000 as an annual retainer. At least $25,000 of this annual
retainer fee will be paid in deferred units representing our common stock at a
price equal to the offering price per share in this offering with an initial
value equal to the deferred amount. The remainder will be paid in quarterly
installments in cash or, at the election of the non-employee director, may be
deferred and invested in a stock account that will be credited with units
representing our common stock at the fair market value of our common stock on
the date of that election with an initial value equal to the deferred amount.
Each non-employee director will also receive $1,000 for each Board of
Directors' meeting and Board of Directors' committee meeting attended, and will
be reimbursed for reasonable incidental expenses. Each non-officer director who
chairs a committee will be paid an additional $4,000 per year.

Options. Under the compensation plan for non-employee directors, we will
grant to each non-employee director in connection with this offering an option
to purchase a number of shares of our common stock designed to have an
approximate present value of $24,000 with an exercise price equal to the
offering price per share in this offering. The options will have a ten-year
life and will become exercisable approximately one year after the date of
grant.

OTHER COMPENSATION

Officers of our company and of FMC Corporation will not receive any
additional compensation for their service as our directors. No other
remuneration is paid to our board members in their capacity as directors.
Except as specified above, directors who are not our employees do not
participate in our employee benefit plans.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Governor Thompson is Chairman of the law firm of Winston & Strawn, which
provides legal services to FMC Corporation. In addition, we did business in
2000 with certain organizations where our directors and director nominees now
serve, or during 2000 did serve, as officers or directors. In no case have the
amounts involved been material in relation to our business or, to the knowledge
and belief of our management, to the business of the other organizations or to
the individuals concerned. These transactions were on terms no less favorable
to us than were reasonably available from unrelated third parties.

STOCK OWNERSHIP OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

All of our common stock is currently owned by FMC Corporation, and thus
none of our present or future officers or directors currently own any shares of
our common stock. Our officers and directors will

receive shares of our common stock in the distribution in respect of any shares
of FMC Corporation common stock that they hold on the record date of the
distribution. In addition, FMC Corporation restricted stock granted to our
employees and to the Chairman of our Board of Directors will be replaced in
connection with this offering with a grant of our restricted stock, and a
portion of the FMC Corporation restricted stock granted to our remaining
directors will be replaced as of the date of the distribution with grants of
our restricted stock. All FMC Corporation options held by our employees and a
portion of the FMC Corporation options held by our directors will be replaced
as of the date of the distribution with comparable options to purchase shares
of our common stock.

The following table sets forth the FMC Corporation common stock and
options to purchase FMC Corporation common stock held by our directors and
executive officers as of December 31, 2000.

(1) Beginning in 2000, the FMC Corporation incentive plan provided for annual
bonuses to be paid based on performance against specified objectives for
individual and overall corporation results. Previously, the incentive plan
provided for bonuses to be paid based upon individual performance and for
FMC Corporation's achievement of specified objectives during multi-year
periods that commenced annually. The amount of the long-term incentive
payouts was not determined until the applicable performance period ended.
Prior to 2000, payouts were made in cash and/or FMC Corporation common
stock, including grants of FMC Corporation restricted stock. Beginning in
2000, payouts were made in cash.
(2) As of December 31, 2000, the six officers listed in the table held grants
of FMC Corporation restricted stock with a value based on the closing
market price per share of FMC Corporation common stock on December 29,
2000, the last trading day of the year, as follows: Mr. Burt, 33,983 shares

Corporation common stock. These additional shares are included in the
Restricted Stock Award Column for 2000, 1999 and 1998 at market value as of
the date of grant. This amount will be forfeited if the executive
terminates voluntarily prior to the end of the applicable three-year
period.
(4) Includes annual FMC Corporation matching contributions to its qualified and
non-qualified savings plans.
(5) These amounts include a payment of $51,522 for Mr. Burt for personal use of
FMC Corporation's aircraft in 2000; payments of $44,749 and $460,423 to Mr.
Netherland for relocation expenses in 2000 and 1998, respectively; a
payment of $83,480 to Mr. Schumann for relocation expenses in 1999; and
payments of $157,458 and $136,599 for expatriate allowances in 1999 and
1998, respectively, and a relocation gross-up of $62,845 in 1998 for Mr.
Cannon.

(1) We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value these options as of
February 10, 2000, the date of the grant. The model assumed: an option term
of 10 years; an interest rate of 6.52% that represents the interest rate on
a long-term U.S. Treasury security; an assumed annual volatility of
underlying stock of 28.86%, and no dividends being paid. FMC Corporation
made no assumptions regarding restrictions on vesting or the likelihood of
vesting.
(2) The ultimate values of the options will depend on the future market price
of FMC Corporation common stock, which cannot be forecast with reasonable
accuracy. The actual value, if any, an option holder will realize when
exercising an option will depend on the excess of the market price of FMC
Corporation's common stock over the exercise price on the date the option
is exercised.

RETIREMENT PLANS

Our employees participated in the FMC Corporation Employees' Retirement
Program, a qualified defined benefit pension plan, through April 30, 2001. On
May 1, 2001, we adopted a qualified defined benefit pension plan that
replicates in all material respects the FMC Corporation Employees' Retirement
Program. We

also adopted a non-contributory supplemental defined benefit pension plan that
replicates in all material respects the FMC Corporation Salaried Employees'
Equivalent Retirement Plan, a supplemental defined benefit pension plan. The
following individuals are participants in both our qualified and supplemental
defined benefit pension plans: Messrs. Netherland, Schumann, Cannon, Murray and
Kinnear.

The following table shows the estimated annual retirement benefits under
our qualified and supplemental defined benefit pension plans payable upon
retirement at age 65, which is the normal retirement age under the plans, based
upon the plans' formulae as of 2001 at various levels of salary and years of
service. Our pension plans replicate in all material respects the current FMC
Corporation qualified and supplemental pension plans, and our pension plans
grant full credit for service with FMC Corporation with regard to all matters,
including, without limitation, benefit calculation and vesting.

(1) Benefits shown are total qualified plus nonqualified pension benefits.

(2) Social Security Covered Compensation for a participant retiring at age 65
in 2001 is $37,212.

(3) "Final Average Earnings" in the table means the average of covered
compensation for the highest 60 consecutive calendar months out of the 120
calendar months immediately before retirement. Covered compensation
includes salary, bonus and LTIP payout amounts as reflected in the Summary
Compensation Table.

(4) At February 1, 2001, Messrs. Burt, Netherland, Schumann, Cannon, Murray and
Kinnear had, respectively, 27, 27, 19, 18, 28 and 29 years of credited
service under the FMC Corporation pension plan and its supplements.

(5) Applicable benefits for employees whose years of service and earnings
differ from those shown in the table are equal to (A + B) times C where:
(A) equals 1% of allowable Social Security covered compensation ($37,212
for a participant retiring at age 65 in 2000) times years of credited
service (up to a maximum of 35 years) plus 1.5% of the difference between
Final Average Earnings and allowable Social Security compensation times
years of credited service (up to a maximum of 35 years); (B) equals 1.5% of
Final Average Earnings times years of credited service in excess of 35
years; and (C) equals the ratio of credited service at termination to
credited service projected to age 65.

(6) The amounts shown will not be reduced by Social Security benefits or other
offsets. As the Internal Revenue Code limits the annual benefits that may
be paid from a tax-qualified retirement plan, we have adopted permitted
supplemental arrangements to maintain total benefits during retirement at
the levels shown in the table.

TREATMENT OF FMC CORPORATION OPTIONS

As of the distribution, we intend to replace all of the FMC Corporation
options held by our employees and our non-employee directors, other than
directors who will remain directors of FMC Corporation after the distribution,
with options to purchase shares of our common stock that will be issued
pursuant to our stock plan. We expect that directors who will remain directors
of FMC Corporation after the distribution will have the option to have up to
one-half of their FMC Corporation options replaced with options to purchase
shares of our common stock. As of June 13, 2001, our directors and employees
held options to purchase 904,640 shares of FMC Corporation common stock at a
weighted average exercise price per share of $57.41. The closing price per
share of FMC Corporation common stock on June 13, 2001 was $76.48. We also
intend to replace all of the FMC Corporation options held by employees of FMC
Corporation whom we hire after the distribution with options to purchase our
common stock. The number of shares of common stock underlying, and the exercise
price of, these replacement options will be based on the closing price per
share of our common stock and of FMC Corporation common stock on the date of
the distribution, or, with respect to options replaced after the distribution
date, as of the trading day immediately preceding the date we hire that
employee. The replacement options to purchase shares of our common stock are
expected to have the same vesting provisions and exercise periods as the FMC
Corporation options had immediately before the date of distribution.

TREATMENT OF FMC CORPORATION RESTRICTED STOCK

As of June 13, 2001, our employees and the Chairman of our Board of
Directors had been granted 318,322 shares of FMC Corporation restricted stock.
The closing price per share of FMC Corporation common stock on June 13, 2001
was $76.48. In connection with this offering, we intend to replace all FMC
Corporation restricted stock granted to our employees and to the Chairman of
our Board of Directors with grants of our restricted stock under our stock
plan. As of the distribution date, we intend to replace all FMC Corporation
restricted stock granted to our non-employee directors, other than directors
who will remain directors of FMC Corporation after the distribution, and all
FMC Corporation restricted stock granted to employees of FMC Corporation whom
we hire as of the distribution date, with grants of our restricted stock under
our stock plan. We expect that our non-employee directors who will remain
directors of FMC Corporation after the distribution, other than the Chairman of
our Board of Directors, will have the option to have up to one-half of their
FMC Corporation restricted stock replaced with our restricted stock in
connection with the distribution. As of June 13, 2001, our non-employee
directors had been granted 6,813 shares of FMC Corporation restricted stock, of
which 3,963 shares will be eligible to be replaced by our restricted stock. The
grants of our restricted stock made under our stock plan to employees and to
the Chairman of our Board of Directors in connection with this offering will be
based on the offering price per share of our common stock in this offering and
the closing price per share of FMC Corporation common stock on the trading day
immediately preceding the date on which our common stock first trades. The
grants of our restricted stock made under our stock plan to non-employee
directors and to employees in connection with the distribution will be based on
the closing price per share of our common stock and of FMC Corporation common
stock on the date of distribution. In addition, we intend to replace all FMC
Corporation restricted stock granted to employees of FMC Corporation whom we
hire after the distribution with grants of our restricted stock. The grants of
our restricted stock made after the distribution will be based on the closing
price per share of our common stock and of FMC Corporation common stock on the
trading date immediately preceding the date we hire that employee. The
replacement restricted stock is expected to have the same vesting provisions as
the FMC Corporation restricted stock, and, like the FMC Corporation restricted
stock, no shares of common stock will be issued with respect to our restricted
stock until that restricted stock vests.

INCENTIVE PLANS

THE STOCK PLAN

Effective as of May 1, 2001, we adopted the FMC Technologies, Inc.
Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan. The stock plan is designed to promote
our success and enhance our value by linking the interests of certain of our
officers, employees, directors and consultants to those of our stockholders and
by providing participants with an incentive for outstanding performance. This
plan is further intended to provide flexibility in

its ability to motivate, attract and retain officers, employees, directors and
consultants upon whose judgment, interest and special efforts our business is
largely dependent. The description below summarizes the material terms of this
plan.

Persons Eligible for Grants. Our officers, employees, directors and
consultants, and officers, employees, directors and consultants of our
subsidiaries and affiliates are eligible to participate in this plan.

In connection with this offering, we will grant to certain officers,
employees and directors options to purchase shares of common stock under the
plan at an exercise price equal to the initial public offering price. We will
grant options to purchase an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares, and Messrs. Burt,
Netherland, Schumann, Cannon, Murray and Kinnear will be granted options to
purchase 100,000, 660,000, 162,000, 148,500, 94,500 and 148,500 shares,
respectively. These options will vest and become exercisable on the first
business day of the third calendar year following the calendar year of the
grant. Generally, unvested options will expire at the time of the participant's
termination of employment.

Administration. The plan is administered by the compensation and
organization committee of our Board of Directors. Any authority granted to our
compensation and organization committee is also vested in our full Board of
Directors. The plan provides for the grant of both non-qualified and incentive
stock options, incentive awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
performance units, and other equity-based awards.

Authorized Shares. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that
may be delivered under the plan is limited to 12,000,000 shares. The plan
provides for a maximum annual stock award of 8,000,000 shares of common stock
for incentive awards, restricted stock and performance units. The plan will
also provide for a maximum aggregate amount with respect to each incentive
award, award of performance units or award of restricted stock that may be
granted, or, that may vest, as applicable, in any calendar year for any
individual participant of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock, or the dollar
equivalent of 1,200,000 shares of common stock. The aggregate number of shares
may be adjusted by our compensation and organization committee in the event of
certain corporate events or transactions, including, but not limited to, stock
splits, mergers, consolidations, separations, including spin-off or other
distribution of stock or property of our company, reorganization, or
liquidation, whether or not such transaction results in a change in the number
of shares of our outstanding common stock.

Term. The term of options to be granted under the plan may not exceed 10
years. Our compensation and organization committee will provide vesting
schedules and any other applicable restrictions in each award agreement.

Exercise. Options under the plan will have an exercise price equal to the
fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant or, in the case of
options granted at the time of this offering, equal to the initial public
offering price. A participant exercising an option may pay the exercise price
by check or, if approved by our compensation and organization committee, with
previously acquired shares of our common stock or in a combination of cash and
our common stock. Our compensation and organization committee, in its
discretion, may allow the cashless exercise of options through the use of a
broker-dealer.

Other Awards. We may grant incentive awards which may be subject to
performance- or service-based goals and that may be payable in cash, our common
stock, restricted stock or a combination of cash, common stock or restricted
stock. We may grant stock appreciation rights under the stock plan either in
tandem with options, or as stand-alone awards. Tandem stock appreciation rights
will be subject to the same vesting terms as the options to which they relate.
The stock appreciation rights will permit a participant to receive cash or
shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, as determined by our
compensation and organization committee. The amount of cash or the value of the
shares to be received by a participant will be equal to the excess of the fair
market value of a share of our common stock on the date of exercise over the
stock appreciation right exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares
with respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised. We may grant
restricted stock that may be subject to performance- and/or

service-based goals upon which restrictions will lapse. Additionally, we may
grant performance units that may be subject to performance- and/or service-
based restrictions. These performance units will be payable in cash or shares
of our common stock or a combination of the two as determined by our
compensation and organization committee. We may also grant dividend and
interest equivalents with respect to awards and other awards based on the value
of our common stock.

Transferability of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Options and
stock appreciation rights will be nontransferable other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution or, at the discretion of our compensation and
organization committee, under a written beneficiary designation and, in the
case of a nonqualified option, in connection with a gift to members of the
holder's immediate family. The gift may be made directly or indirectly or by
means of a trust or partnership or limited liability company and, during the
participant's lifetime, may be exercised only by the participant, any such
permitted transferee or a guardian, legal representative or beneficiary.

Change in Control. In the event we undergo a Change in Control, any
option or stock appreciation right that is not then exercisable and vested will
become fully exercisable and vested, restrictions on restricted stock will
lapse and performance units will be deemed earned. A Change in Control of our
company means generally:

. the acquisition by a person of an amount of common stock from any
source, including FMC Corporation, representing at least 20% of our
outstanding common stock or voting securities;

. a change in the majority of the members of our Board of Directors,
unless approved by the incumbent directors;

. the completion of specified mergers, business combinations or asset
purchases or sales, unless after the transaction (a) our stockholders
prior to the transaction own more than 60% of the resulting entity,
(b) members of our Board of Directors before the transaction
constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the resulting
entity, and (c) no person owns 20% or more of our outstanding common
stock or voting securities;

. approval by our stockholders of a liquidation or dissolution of our
company; or

. a Change in Control of FMC Corporation, as defined in the FMC
Corporation executive severance plan, if, at the time of its Change
in Control, FMC Corporation owns more than 50% of our outstanding
common stock. The FMC Corporation executive severance plan definition
of a Change in Control of FMC Corporation is substantially similar to
our stock plan's definition of a Change in Control of our company.

Neither this offering nor the distribution will constitute a Change in Control.

Amendments and Termination. Our compensation and organization committee
may at any time amend or terminate the stock plan and may amend the terms of
any outstanding option or other award, except that no termination or amendment
may impair the rights of participants as they relate to outstanding options or
awards. No amendment to the stock plan will be made without the approval of our
stockholders to increase the number of shares available for issuance, or to
change the exercise price of an option after the date of grant, or unless and
to the extent such approval is required by law or by stock exchange rule. With
respect to any awards granted to an individual who is employed or providing
services outside the United States and who is not compensated from a payroll
maintained in the United States, the compensation and organization committee
may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the stock plan as they
pertain to the individual to comply with applicable foreign law, accounting
rules or practices.

COMPENSATION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

Our non-employee directors will be entitled to receive stock awards and
other compensation for their service. See "--Board of Directors' Compensation
and Relationships--Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors."

TERMINATION AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

The following of our executive officers currently are parties to
executive severance agreements under the FMC Corporation Executive Severance
Plan that would provide them with benefits in the event of specified
terminations of employment following a Change in Control of FMC Corporation:
Messrs. Burt, Netherland, Schumann, Cannon, Murray and Kinnear. After this
offering we plan to provide these executives (other than Mr. Burt) with new
executive severance agreements that are substantially similar to their existing
executive severance agreements with FMC Corporation, and these new executive
severance agreements will supercede their existing executive severance
agreements with FMC Corporation.

SEVERANCE BENEFITS

Under the new executive severance agreements, if a Change in Control of
our company occurs and if, within two years following that Change in Control,
the executive's employment is terminated by us without cause or the executive
terminates his or her employment for good reason, then the executive is
entitled to benefits from us. In general, these benefits include:

. a lump sum payment of three times the sum of (a) the executive's
salary and (b) the greater of (i) the executive's highest target for
any year or (ii) the average of the two actual incentive awards paid
for the two plan years immediately preceding the executive's
termination;

. a payment equal to the executive's prorated target bonus for the year
of termination;

. immediate vesting of long-term incentive awards, restricted stock and
stock options;

. continuation of medical and other benefits for up to three years;

. distribution of accrued nonqualified retirement plan benefits; and

. an additional three years of credited service for purposes of our
nonqualified plans.

We will compensate the executive for any excise tax liability as a result
of Change in Control payments from us under the agreement or otherwise. The
following officers can receive the above severance benefits if they voluntarily
terminate their employment with us during the 30-day period immediately
following the first anniversary of a Change in Control, or if their employment
terminates during the first year following a Change in Control due to death,
disability or retirement: Messrs. Netherland and Schumann.

Each executive will acknowledge that neither this offering nor the
distribution constitutes a Change in Control under his or her executive
severance agreement with FMC Corporation, his or her new executive severance
agreement with our company or any other plans of FMC Corporation or our
company.

The definition of Change in Control is the same as that in our stock
plan. See "--Incentive Plans--The Stock Plan--Change in Control."

DEFINITIONS OF GOOD REASON AND CAUSE

Under the new executive severance agreements, an executive may terminate
for good reason following:

. diminution of duties, responsibility, authority, etc.;
. relocation of over 50 miles from the executive's primary residence;
. reduction in base salary; or
. material reduction in levels of participation in benefit or incentive
plans.

We may terminate an executive's employment for cause under the new
executive severance agreements if the executive:

. willfully and continually fails to perform his or her duties;
. willfully engages in conduct materially injurious to us; or
. is convicted of a felony on or prior to a Change in Control.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

As permitted by applicable Delaware law, we have included in our
Certificate of Incorporation a provision to generally eliminate the personal
liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of
their fiduciary duties as directors. However, this provision does not eliminate
or limit liability of a director for a director's breach of the duty of
loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for any transaction from which a
director derived an improper personal benefit and for other specified actions.
In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we are
required to indemnify our officers and directors under a number of
circumstances, including those circumstances in which indemnification would
otherwise be discretionary, and we are required to advance expenses to our
officers and directors as incurred in connection with proceedings against them
for which they may be indemnified. At present, we are not aware of any pending
or threatened litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee
or agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We
believe that these indemnification provisions are necessary to attract and
retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be granted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the
foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC this
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is therefore unenforceable.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

FMC Corporation has historically operated the businesses it transferred
to us in the separation as internal units of FMC Corporation through various
divisions and subsidiaries or through investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
For a discussion of transactions between FMC Corporation and us, see
"Arrangements Between FMC Technologies and FMC Corporation" and Note 18 to the
combined financial statements.

ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN FMC TECHNOLOGIES AND FMC CORPORATION

We have provided below a summary description of the separation and
distribution agreement and the key related agreements. This description, which
summarizes the material terms of these agreements, is not complete. You should
read the full text of these agreements, which have been filed with the SEC as
exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

The separation and distribution agreement contains the key provisions
relating to the separation of our businesses from those of FMC Corporation,
this offering and FMC Corporation's planned distribution of our common stock.
The separation and distribution agreement identifies the assets transferred to
us by FMC Corporation and the liabilities assumed by us from FMC Corporation.
The separation and distribution agreement also describes when and how these
transfers and assumptions occur. In addition, we entered into agreements with
FMC Corporation governing various interim and ongoing relationships between FMC
Corporation and us. These other agreements include:

. the tax sharing agreement;

. the employee benefits agreement; and

. the transition services agreement.

ASSET TRANSFER

On May 31, 2001, FMC Corporation transferred the following assets to us,
except as provided in one of the ancillary agreements:

. all assets reflected on our audited balance sheet as of December 31,
2000 or the accounting records supporting our balance sheet, plus all
assets acquired by FMC Corporation between December 31, 2000 and the
closing date of this offering that would have been included on our
balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 had they been owned on December
31, 2000;

. all other assets primarily related to our businesses or the former
Energy Production Systems, Energy Processing Systems, FoodTech and
Airport Systems businesses of FMC Corporation;

. real property primarily related to our businesses;

. the subsidiaries, partnerships, joint ventures and other equity
interests primarily related to our businesses;

. our rights under any insurance policies as provided in any ancillary
agreements;

. all computers, desks, furniture, equipment and other assets used
primarily by FMC Corporation employees who became our employees due
to the separation;

. all foreign exchange contracts entered into in connection with our
business; and

. other assets agreed upon by us and FMC Corporation.

ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES

On May 31, 2001, we assumed the following liabilities from FMC
Corporation, except as provided in one of the ancillary agreements:

. all liabilities reflected on our audited balance sheet as of December
31, 2000 or the accounting records supporting our balance sheet, plus
all liabilities of FMC Corporation incurred or arising between
December 31, 2000 and the closing date of this offering that would
have been included

on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 had they arisen or been
incurred on December 31, 2000;

. all other liabilities primarily related to or arising primarily from
(a) any asset that is transferred to us pursuant to the separation,
(b) our current business or (c) specified closed businesses of FMC
Corporation's former Energy Systems, FoodTech and Airport Systems
businesses, in each case, whether incurred or arising prior to, on or
after the closing date of this offering;

. all liabilities assumed by us under an express provision of the
separation and distribution agreement or any ancillary agreement;

. selected liabilities primarily relating to specified discontinued
businesses of FMC Corporation's former Energy Systems, FoodTech and
Airport Systems businesses;

. all liabilities for environmental remediation or other environmental
responsibilities primarily related to our business and specified
closed businesses of FMC Corporation's Energy Systems, FoodTech and
Airport Systems businesses, or all real property transferred to us as
part of our assets;

. all liabilities for products of our business or certain closed
businesses of FMC Corporation's former Energy Systems, FoodTech and
Airport Systems businesses sold to third parties by us or FMC
Corporation;

. all liabilities relating to us arising under the separation and
distribution agreement; and

. other liabilities agreed upon by us and FMC Corporation.

FURTHER ASSURANCES

The separation and distribution agreement provides that FMC Corporation
and we will cooperate to effect any transfers of assets and liabilities that
were not completed on May 31, 2001, as promptly following that date as is
practicable. Until these transfers can be completed, the party retaining the
assets or liabilities to be transferred will act as a custodian and trustee on
behalf of the other party with respect to those assets or liabilities. In an
effort to place each party, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same
position as that party would have been had the transfers occurred at the time
contemplated by the separation and distribution agreement, the separation and
distribution agreement provides that the benefits derived or expenses incurred
from those assets or liabilities will be passed on to the party that would
have received the assets or liabilities if the transfers had occurred as
contemplated.

CONDITIONS TO THIS OFFERING

The separation and distribution agreement provides that the completion
of this offering is subject to several conditions that must be satisfied, or
waived by FMC Corporation, including:

relating to this offering, and no stop order shall be in effect with

us and FMC Corporation to complete this separation from FMC
Corporation, this offering and the distribution, or (b) the business,
assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of
us and our subsidiaries taken as a whole.

FOREIGN TRANSFERS

The transfer of international assets and the assumption of international
liabilities is governed in part by agreements among international subsidiaries,
as contemplated by the separation and distribution agreement. The separation
and distribution agreement acknowledges that circumstances in some
jurisdictions outside of the United States may require the timing of part of
the international separation to be delayed past the date that the domestic
transfer has been effected.

INDEMNIFICATION

In general, under the separation and distribution agreement, we will
indemnify FMC Corporation and its representatives and affiliates from all
liabilities that we assumed under the separation and distribution agreement and
any and all losses by FMC Corporation or its representatives or affiliates
arising out of or due to either our failure to pay, perform or discharge in due
course these liabilities or our breach of the separation and distribution
agreement. We will also indemnify FMC Corporation for any and all losses
arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or
material omission in this prospectus or in any similar documents relating to
the distribution. In general, FMC Corporation will indemnify us and our
representatives and affiliates from all liabilities that FMC Corporation
retains under the separation and distribution agreement and any and all losses
by us or our representatives or affiliates arising out of or due to either FMC
Corporation's failure to pay, perform or discharge in due course these
liabilities or its breach of the separation and distribution agreement. All
indemnification amounts will be reduced by any insurance proceeds and other
offsetting amounts recovered by the indemnitee.

ACCESS TO INFORMATION

Under the separation and distribution agreement, the following terms
govern access to information:

. on the date of the separation of our business from FMC Corporation,
FMC Corporation delivered to us all corporate books and records
related to our business;

. subject to applicable confidentiality provisions and other
restrictions, we and FMC Corporation will each give the other any
information within that company's possession that the requesting
party reasonably needs (a) to comply with requirements imposed on the
requesting party by a governmental authority, (b) for use in any
proceeding or to satisfy audit, accounting, tax or similar
requirements, or (c) to comply with its obligations under the
separation and distribution agreement or the ancillary agreements;

. we will provide to FMC Corporation, at no charge, all financial and
other data and information that FMC Corporation determines is
necessary or advisable in order to prepare its financial statements
and reports or filings with any governmental authority;

. we and FMC Corporation will each use reasonable best efforts to
provide assistance to the other for litigation and to make available
to the other directors, officers, other employees and agents as
witnesses, in legal, administrative or other proceedings, and will
cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect
to any litigation;

. the company providing information, consultant or witness services
under the separation and distribution agreement will be entitled to
reimbursement from the other for reasonable expenses;

. we and FMC Corporation will each retain all proprietary information
in its possession relating to the other's business for a period of
time, and, if the information is to be destroyed, the destroying
company will give the other company the opportunity to receive the
information; and

. we and FMC Corporation will agree to hold in strict confidence all
information concerning or belonging to the other obtained prior to
the date of the distribution or furnished pursuant to the separation
and distribution agreement or any ancillary agreement, subject to
applicable law.

DISTRIBUTION TO FMC CORPORATION

The separation and distribution agreement contemplates that we will draw
down $315.5 million of debt as of the date of the separation, less amounts
outstanding under the accounts receivable facility and other short-term debt
we have assumed from FMC Corporation. This additional debt will be borrowed
under our credit facilities, and the proceeds will be distributed to FMC
Corporation in advance of this offering. The amount borrowed and distributed
will also be adjusted to reflect our net cash flow from January 1, 2001
through May 31, 2001, the date on which FMC Corporation transferred our
businesses to us. On June 4, 2001, we drew down $280.9 million of debt, which
includes an adjustment for our estimated net cash flow through March 31, 2001,
and distributed those amounts to FMC Corporation. These borrowings will be
subject to adjustment after this offering to reflect our actual net cash flow
for the period from January 1, 2001 through May 31, 2001. The separation and
distribution agreement also contemplates that we will distribute to FMC
Corporation the net proceeds from this offering, excluding any proceeds
received from the exercise of the underwriters' overallotment option, when
such proceeds are received.

NO REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, we understand and
agree that FMC Corporation did not represent or warrant to us as to the assets
transferred to us, the liabilities assumed by us, our business or the former
energy and food and transportation businesses of FMC Corporation. We took all
assets "as is, where is" and bear the economic and legal risk relating to
conveyance of, and title to, the assets.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Under the separation and distribution agreement, FMC Corporation has the
right to require us to register for offer and sale all or a portion of our
common stock held by FMC Corporation, so long as the shares of our

common stock FMC Corporation requires us to register, in each case, represent
at least 5% of the aggregate shares of our common stock then issued and
outstanding and FMC Corporation holds not less than 10% of our then-outstanding
common stock on the date it requests us to register our common stock.

PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS

If we at any time intend to file on our behalf or on behalf of any of our
security holders a registration statement in connection with a public offering
of any of our securities on a form and in a manner that would permit the
registration for offer and sale of our common stock held by FMC Corporation,
FMC Corporation has the right to include its shares of our common stock in that
offering.

REGISTRATION EXPENSES

We are responsible for the registration expenses in connection with the
performance of our obligations under the registration rights provisions in the
separation and distribution agreement. FMC Corporation is responsible for all
of the fees and expenses of counsel to FMC Corporation, any applicable
underwriting discounts or commissions, and any registration or filing fees with
respect to shares of our common stock being sold by FMC Corporation.

TERMINATION

The separation and distribution agreement may be terminated at any time
prior to the distribution by the mutual consent of FMC Corporation and us. If
the separation and distribution agreement is terminated after this offering but
prior to the distribution, only the obligations of FMC Corporation and us
regarding the distribution will terminate, and the other provisions of the
separation and distribution agreement will remain in full force and effect.

EXPENSES

In general, FMC Corporation and we are responsible for our own costs
incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the separation and
distribution agreement. However, with regard to this offering, we are
responsible for all third-party costs associated with this offering, including
costs related to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Additionally, if the distribution is completed, FMC Corporation will be
responsible for all associated third-party costs.

TAX SHARING AGREEMENT

We and some of our subsidiaries have historically been included in FMC
Corporation's consolidated group for U.S. Federal income tax purposes (the "FMC
Corporation Federal Group"), as well as in certain consolidated, combined or
unitary groups which include FMC Corporation and some of its subsidiaries for
U.S. state and local and foreign income tax purposes (the "FMC Corporation
Combined Group"). FMC Corporation and we have entered into a tax sharing
agreement in connection with this offering.

Under the tax sharing agreement, FMC Corporation and we generally will
make payments between us so that, with respect to tax returns for any taxable
period in which we or any of our or FMC Corporation's subsidiaries are included
in the FMC Corporation Federal Group or any FMC Corporation Combined Group, the
amount of taxes to be paid by us will be determined, subject to adjustment, as
if we and each of our subsidiaries included in the FMC Corporation Federal
Group or FMC Corporation Combined Group filed our own consolidated, combined or
unitary tax return. However, in the event we incur a tax loss for any taxable
period ending after the date of execution of the tax sharing agreement during
which we are still a member of the U.S. consolidated tax group, we may only
receive a benefit for such tax loss to the extent that such loss can be carried
back to a prior taxable year in which we were a member of the U.S. consolidated
tax group of FMC Corporation. FMC Corporation and we will jointly prepare pro
forma tax returns with respect to any tax return

filed with respect to the FMC Corporation Federal Group or any FMC Corporation
Combined Group in order to determine the amount of tax sharing payments under
the tax sharing agreement. We are generally responsible for any taxes with
respect to tax returns that include only us and our subsidiaries.

FMC Corporation is primarily responsible for preparing and filing any tax
return with respect to the FMC Corporation Federal Group or any FMC Corporation
Combined Group. Under the tax sharing agreement, we are responsible for
preparing the portion of these tax returns that relates exclusively to us or
any of our subsidiaries. However, we are required to submit those portions to
FMC Corporation for FMC Corporation's review and approval. We generally will be
responsible for preparing and filing any tax returns that include only us and
our subsidiaries.

FMC Corporation is primarily responsible for controlling and contesting
any audit or other tax proceeding with respect to the FMC Corporation Federal
Group or any FMC Corporation Combined Group. Under the tax sharing agreement,
in connection with a tax liability in excess of $500,000 resulting from a tax
audit or other tax proceeding, we have the right to control and contest any
audit or tax proceeding that relates directly and exclusively to any item
included on the portion of any tax return that we are responsible for preparing
subject to FMC Corporation approval of a settlement agreement. In the case of a
tax liability less than $500,000 that relates to any item on the portion of the
tax return that we are responsible for preparing, FMC Corporation has the right
to control and contest any audit or tax proceeding. In addition, we have
assumed primary responsibility for certain specific areas where the ability to
provide factual and financial information to sustain the tax treatment accorded
such item on a tax return is within our control. However, we cannot enter into
any settlement or agreement or make any decision in connection with any
judicial or administrative tax proceeding without FMC Corporation's review and
approval, which it may not unreasonably withhold. Disputes arising between FMC
Corporation and us relating to matters covered by the tax sharing agreement are
subject to resolution through specific dispute resolution provisions in the tax
sharing agreement.

We have been and will be included in the FMC Corporation Federal Group
for periods in which FMC Corporation beneficially owned at least 80% of the
total voting power and value of our outstanding common stock. Each member of a
consolidated group for U.S. Federal income tax purposes is jointly and
severally liable for the U.S. Federal income tax liability of each other member
of the consolidated group. Accordingly, although the tax sharing agreement
allocates tax liabilities between us and FMC Corporation, for any period in
which we were included in the FMC Corporation Federal Group, we could be liable
in the event that any U.S. Federal tax liability was incurred, but not
discharged, by any other member of the FMC Corporation Federal Group.

FMC Corporation and we have agreed to cooperate, and we have agreed to
take all actions reasonably requested by FMC Corporation, in connection with
FMC Corporation's obtaining of a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax-free
nature of the distribution. We generally will be responsible for, among other
things, any corporate taxes resulting from the failure of the distribution to
qualify as a tax-free transaction to the extent these taxes are attributable
to, or result from, any action or failure to act by us or certain transactions
involving us following the distribution.

The tax sharing agreement places certain restrictions upon us regarding
the sale of assets, the sale or issuance of additional securities (including
securities convertible into stock) or the entry into some types of corporate
transactions during a restriction period that continues for 30 months after the
distribution. Among other matters, the tax sharing agreement restricts us
during the restriction period from:

. selling all or substantially all of our assets, discontinuing the active
conduct of our business or failing to continue our business if such
actions would cause the distribution or certain internal restructurings
to be taxable;

. issuing or selling additional securities (including any issuances as
compensation for services or pursuant to the exercise of compensatory
stock options and issuances of securities convertible into our stock),
such that after such issuance, we have issued securities (including
securities issued in connection with this offering and assuming that
securities convertible into our stock are exercised) that total 40% or
more (by vote or value) of our outstanding stock; and

. entering into any other corporate transaction which would either result
in a disqualified distribution for Federal income tax purposes or cause
us to undergo a 50% or greater change by vote or value in our stock
ownership.

The tax sharing agreement permits us to take certain actions that are
otherwise restricted if we seek and obtain an acceptable supplemental ruling
from the IRS that such actions will not cause the distribution or certain other
internal restructuring transactions to be taxable. Alternatively, in lieu of
obtaining such a supplemental ruling from the IRS, in certain situations the
tax sharing agreement permits us to proceed with a transaction that would be
prohibited by a specific restriction if we post an acceptable letter of credit.

The tax sharing agreement also assigns responsibilities for
administrative matters, such as the filing of returns, payment of taxes due,
retention of records and conduct of audits, examinations or similar
proceedings.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AGREEMENT

Prior to this offering we entered into an employee benefits agreement
with FMC Corporation that governs our employee benefit obligations, including
both compensation and benefits, with respect to our active employees and
retirees and other terminated employees who have performed services for our
business before or after the separation or whose employee benefit obligations
we have otherwise agreed to assume. Under the employee benefits agreement, we
assumed and agreed to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, in accordance with
their respective terms, all obligations to, or relating to, former employees of
FMC Corporation or its affiliates who are employed by us and our affiliates and
specified former employees of FMC Corporation or its affiliates (including
retirees) who either were employed in our businesses before or after the
separation or who otherwise are assigned to us for purposes of allocating
employee benefit obligations.

BENEFIT PLANS

Until the date of the distribution, employees and former employees
allocated to us will continue to participate in the FMC Corporation pension and
other employee benefit plans, except that domestic employees began
participating in our own qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension
plans as of May 1, 2001 instead of participating in the FMC Corporation
qualified and non-qualified defined benefit plans. Effective May 1, 2001, we
established our domestic qualified and non-qualified defined benefit plans, and
effective immediately after the distribution, we will establish the remainder
of our own pension and employee benefit plans. The material terms of our
pension and employee benefit plans will generally mirror the FMC Corporation
plans as in effect at that time. The employee benefits agreement does not
preclude us from discontinuing or changing our plans at any time, so long as we
provide FMC Corporation with notice and agree to absorb any cost associated
with such changes.

Our plans generally have assumed or will assume all obligations under the
FMC Corporation plans to employees and former employees allocated to us.
Specified assets funding these obligations, including assets held in trusts,
have been or will be transferred from trusts and other funding vehicles
associated with the FMC Corporation plans to the corresponding trusts and other
funding vehicles associated with our plans. Our plans generally provide or will
provide that any employee or former employee allocated to us will receive full
recognition and credit under these plans for all service, all compensation, and
all other benefit-affecting determinations that would have been recognized
under the corresponding FMC Corporation plan. However, there will be no
duplication of benefits payable by FMC Corporation.

RETIREMENT PLANS

The trust for our qualified pension plan will receive assets from FMC
Corporation's qualified pension plans' trust on the basis of actuarial
calculations in accordance with governmental regulations. Our trusts that will
fund our domestic qualified 401(k) plan and our non-qualified deferred
compensation plan will receive a percentage of the assets of the corresponding
FMC Corporation trusts based upon the assets allocated to employees' accounts.
The division of these assets will occur, with respect to our qualified defined
benefit plans, prior to or shortly after this offering and, with respect to the
rest of our plans, after the date of the distribution.

STOCK AWARDS

Under the employee benefits agreement, we will grant awards under our
stock plan in replacement of all awards under the FMC Corporation stock-based
plans granted to employees and directors, other than our directors who continue
to serve as directors of FMC Corporation after the distribution. We will grant
awards under our stock plan in replacement of up to one-half of the outstanding
FMC Corporation stock-based awards granted to our directors who continue to
serve as directors of FMC Corporation after the distribution, as elected by
such directors. We will grant restricted stock under our stock plan in
replacement of all FMC Corporation restricted stock granted to the Chairman of
our Board of Directors. We may also grant awards under our stock plan in
replacement of FMC Corporation stock-based awards held by FMC Corporation
employees whom we hire after the distribution.

In connection with the replacement of FMC Corporation options, the number
of shares of our common stock underlying, and the exercise price of, the
replacement options we will grant will be based on the closing price per share
of our common stock and of FMC Corporation common stock on the date of the
distribution. The substitute award for FMC Corporation restricted stock granted
to our employees and to the Chairman of our Board of Directors which we intend
to replace in connection with this offering will be based on the offering price
per share of our common stock in this offering and the closing price per share
of FMC Corporation common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the
date that our stock first publicly trades. The substitute award for FMC
Corporation restricted stock granted to our non-employee directors (and a
portion of the restricted stock granted to our directors who continue to serve
as directors of FMC Corporation, other than the Chairman of our Board of
Directors) and to employees of FMC Corporation whom we hire as of the date of
the distribution will be based on the closing price per share of our common
stock and that of FMC Corporation common stock on the date of the distribution.
The substitute award for each FMC Corporation stock-based award granted to
employees of FMC Corporation whom we hire after the date of the distribution
will be based on the closing price per share of our common stock and that of
FMC Corporation common stock on the trading date immediately before the date we
hire such employees. The other terms and conditions of each replacement award
will be the same as those of the surrendered FMC Corporation stock award.

As of June 13, 2001, there were 318,322 shares of FMC Corporation
restricted stock granted to our employees and to the Chairman of our Board of
Directors that we intend to replace with 1,217,263 shares of our restricted
stock, based on the closing price of FMC Corporation common stock on June 13,
2001 of $76.48 and our initial offering price of $20.00 per share.

As of June 13, 2001, there were 904,640 shares of FMC Corporation common
stock subject to options held by our directors and employees that could have
been replaced with our options had the distribution occurred on that date, and
3,963 shares of FMC Corporation restricted stock granted to our non-employee
directors that could have been replaced with grants of our restricted stock had
the distribution occurred on that date. It is not possible to specify at this
time how many shares of our common stock will ultimately be subject to
substitute awards in connection with the distribution because we do not know at
this time either how many FMC Corporation stock awards granted to directors,
employees and former employees allocated to us will be outstanding at the date
of the distribution or at what ratio the FMC Corporation options and restricted
stock will be replaced with our options and restricted stock. Our stockholders
are, however, likely to experience some dilutive impact from these adjustments.

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

The transition services agreement governs the provision by FMC
Corporation to us and by us to FMC Corporation of support services, such as:

. cash management and debt service administration,

. accounting,

. tax,

. payroll,

. legal,

. human resources administration,

. financial transaction support,

. information technology,

. public affairs,

. data processing,

. procurement,

. real estate management, and

. other general administrative functions.

The terms of these services generally will expire at the distribution,
subject to exceptions.

ALLOCATION OF CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES

Although FMC Corporation does not directly compete with us presently, our
Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless otherwise provided in a
written agreement between FMC Corporation and us, FMC Corporation will have no
duty to refrain from engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of
business as we engage in, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither
FMC Corporation nor any officer or director of FMC Corporation (except as
provided below) will be liable to us or our stockholders for breach of any
fiduciary duty by reason of any of these activities of FMC Corporation. In the
event that FMC Corporation acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or
matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both FMC Corporation and us, FMC
Corporation will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to
communicate or offer this corporate opportunity to us, and will, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, not be liable to us or our stockholders for breach of
any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of our company by reason of the fact that
FMC Corporation pursues or acquires that corporate opportunity for itself,
directs that corporate opportunity to another person or does not communicate
information regarding that corporate opportunity to us.

In the event that one of our directors or officers who is also a director
or officer of FMC Corporation acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or
matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both us and FMC Corporation,
that director or officer will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have
fully satisfied his or her fiduciary duty to us and our stockholders with
respect to that corporate opportunity if that director or officer acts in a
manner consistent with the following policy:

. a corporate opportunity offered to any person who is one of our
officers, and who is also a director but not an officer of FMC
Corporation, will belong to us;

. a corporate opportunity offered to any person who is one of our
directors but not one of our officers, and who is also a director or
officer of FMC Corporation, will belong to us if the opportunity is
expressly offered to that person in his or her capacity as a director
of our company, and otherwise will belong to FMC Corporation; and

. a corporate opportunity offered to any person who is an officer of us
and FMC Corporation will belong to us if the opportunity is expressly
offered to the person in his or her capacity as an officer of our
company, and otherwise will belong to FMC Corporation.

These corporate opportunities provisions will expire once FMC Corporation
owns less than 20% of our common stock and once none of our directors or
officers is also a director or officer of FMC Corporation.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER

Prior to this offering, all of the outstanding shares of our common stock
were owned by FMC Corporation. After this offering, FMC Corporation will own
about 83.0% of our outstanding common stock or approximately 80.9% if the
underwriters fully exercise their overallotment option. After completion of
this offering and prior to the distribution, FMC Corporation will be able,
acting alone, to elect our entire Board of Directors and to approve any action
requiring stockholder approval. Except for FMC Corporation, we are not aware of
any person or group that will beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding
shares of common stock following this offering. None of our executive officers,
directors or director nominees currently owns any shares of our common stock,
but those who own shares of FMC Corporation common stock will be treated on the
same terms as other holders of FMC Corporation stock in any distribution by FMC
Corporation. See "Management--Stock Ownership of Directors and Executive
Officers" for a description of the ownership of FMC Corporation stock by our
directors and executive officers.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

GENERAL

We are authorized to issue 195,000,000 shares of our common stock, $.01
par value, and 12,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $.01 par
value. The following description of our capital stock is subject to and
qualified in its entirety by our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which
are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part, and by the provisions of applicable Delaware law.

COMMON STOCK

As of the date of this prospectus, there are 53,950,000 shares of our
common stock issued and outstanding, all of which are held of record by FMC
Corporation.

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters to be voted upon by our stockholders. Subject to preferences that may
be applicable to any of our outstanding preferred stock, the holders of our
common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be
declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of funds legally
available for that purpose. See "Dividend Policy." In the event of our
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock are
entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities,
subject to prior distribution rights of our preferred stock, if any, then
outstanding. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive or conversion
rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable to our common stock.

PREFERRED STOCK

Our Board of Directors has the authority, without action by our
stockholders, to designate and issue our preferred stock in one or more series
and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series, which
may be greater than the rights of our common stock. It is not possible to state
the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of our preferred stock upon the
rights of holders of our common stock until our Board of Directors determines
the specific rights of the holders of our preferred stock. However, the effects
might include, among other things:

. restricting dividends on our common stock;

. diluting the voting power of our common stock;

. impairing the liquidation rights of our common stock; or

. delaying or preventing a change in control of our company without
further action by our stockholders.

At the closing of this offering, no shares of our preferred stock will be
outstanding, and, other than shares of our preferred stock that may become
issuable pursuant to our rights agreement, we have no present plans to issue
any shares of our preferred stock. See "--The Rights Agreement."

As of the date of this prospectus, 800,000 shares of our junior
participating preferred stock have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of
our preferred share purchase rights.

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS AND
DELAWARE LAW

Some provisions of Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws could make the following more difficult, although they have little
significance while we are controlled by FMC Corporation:

. acquisition of us by means of a tender offer;

. acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or

. removal of our incumbent officers and directors.

These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive
takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions also are
designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first
negotiate with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of
increased protection give us the potential ability to negotiate with the
proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure
us and outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging those proposals because
negotiation of them could result in an improvement of their terms.

ELECTION AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our Board of Directors is
divided into three classes. The term of the first class of directors expires
at our 2002 annual meeting of stockholders, the term of the second class of
directors expires at our 2003 annual meeting of stockholders and the term of
the third class of directors expires at our 2004 annual meeting of
stockholders. At each of our annual meetings of stockholders, the successors
of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting of stockholders
will be elected for a three-year term, one class being elected each year by
our stockholders. This system of electing and removing directors may
discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of us if FMC Corporation no longer controls us because it
generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of
the directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that directors
may be removed with or without cause only by the vote of holders of at least
80% of our outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors.

SIZE OF BOARD AND VACANCIES

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the number of directors
on our Board of Directors will be fixed exclusively by our Board of Directors.
Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in our authorized
number of directors or any vacancies in our Board of Directors resulting from
death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other
cause will be filled solely by the vote of our remaining directors in office.

ELIMINATION OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

Our Certificate of Incorporation permits our stockholders to act by
written consent without a meeting as long as FMC Corporation owns at least 50%
of our voting stock. Once FMC Corporation ceases to own that percentage of our
voting stock, our Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the right of our
stockholders to act by written consent.

AMENDMENTS TO OUR BYLAWS

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that our Bylaws may
only be amended by the vote of a majority of our whole Board of Directors or
by the vote of holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of our voting
stock.

AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION PROVISIONS

The amendment of any of the above provisions in our Certificate of
Incorporation would require approval by holders of at least 80% of our
outstanding common stock.

STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS

Under our Bylaws, only our Board of Directors may call special meetings
of our stockholders.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF STOCKHOLDER NOMINATIONS AND
PROPOSALS

Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to
stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors
other than nominations made by or at the direction of our Board of Directors
or a committee of our Board of Directors.

DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law, does not apply to us
until FMC Corporation owns less than 15% of our outstanding common stock.

In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation
from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a
period of three years following the date the person became an interested
stockholder, unless the business combination or the transaction in which the
person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner.
Generally, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or
other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested
stockholder. Generally, an "interested stockholder" is a person that, together
with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the
determination of interested stockholder status, did own, 15% or more of a
corporation's voting stock. Section 203 is not applicable to business
combinations with FMC Corporation. The existence of this provision after FMC
Corporation no longer owns at least 15% of our outstanding shares may have an
anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by
our Board of Directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a
premium over the market price for the shares of our common stock.

NO CUMULATIVE VOTING

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws do not provide for cumulative
voting in the election of directors.

UNDESIGNATED PREFERRED STOCK

The authorization of our undesignated preferred stock makes it possible
for our Board of Directors to issue our preferred stock with voting or other
rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change
control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring
hostile takeovers or delaying changes of control of our management.

THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT

Our Board of Directors has adopted a rights agreement. Pursuant to our
rights agreement, one preferred share purchase right was issued for each
outstanding share of our common stock. Our rights are subject to the terms of
our rights agreement.

Our Board of Directors adopted our rights agreement to protect our
stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics. In general
terms, our rights agreement works by imposing a significant penalty upon any
person or group that acquires 15% or more of our outstanding common stock
without the approval of our Board of Directors.

For those interested in the specific terms of our rights agreement, we
provide the following summary description. Please note, however, that this
description is only a summary, is not complete, and should be read together
with our entire rights agreement, which has been publicly filed with the SEC as
an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

THE RIGHTS

Our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of one of our rights for
each share of our common stock outstanding on June 7, 2001. Our rights
initially trade with, and are inseparable from, our common stock. Our rights
are evidenced only by certificates that represent shares of our common stock.
New rights will accompany any new shares of common stock we issue after June 7,
2001 until the date on which the rights are distributed as described below.

EXERCISE PRICE

Each of our rights will allow its holder to purchase from us one one-
hundredth of a share of our series A junior participating preferred stock for
$95, once the rights become exercisable. This portion of our preferred stock
will give our stockholders approximately the same dividend, voting, and
liquidation rights as would one share of our common stock. Prior to exercise,
our right does not give its holder any dividend, voting, or liquidation rights.

EXERCISABILITY

Our rights will not be exercisable until:

. ten days after the public announcement that a person or group has
become an "acquiring person" by obtaining beneficial ownership of 15%
or more of our outstanding common stock, or, if earlier,

. ten business days (or a later date determined by our Board of
Directors before any person or group becomes an acquiring person)
after a person or group begins a tender or exchange offer that, if
completed, would result in that person or group becoming an acquiring
person.

In light of FMC Corporation's substantial ownership position, our rights
agreement contains provisions excluding FMC Corporation from the operation of
the adverse terms of our rights agreement until the first time it ceases to
beneficially own at least 15% of our outstanding common stock.

Until the date our rights become exercisable, our common stock
certificates also evidence our rights, and any transfer of shares of our common
stock constitutes a transfer of our rights. After that date, our rights will
separate from our common stock and be evidenced by book-entry credits or by
rights certificates that we will mail to all eligible holders of our common
stock. Any of our rights held by an acquiring person are void and may not be
exercised.

CONSEQUENCES OF A PERSON OR GROUP BECOMING AN ACQUIRING PERSON

. Flip In. If a person or group becomes an acquiring person, all
holders of our rights except the acquiring person may, for $95,
purchase shares of our common stock with a market value of $190,
based on the market price of our common stock prior to such
acquisition.

. Flip Over. If we are later acquired in a merger or similar
transaction after the date our rights become exercisable, all holders
of our rights except the acquiring person may, for $95, purchase
shares of the acquiring corporation with a market value of $190,
based on the market price of the acquiring corporation's stock prior
to such merger.

OUR PREFERRED SHARE PROVISIONS

Each one one-hundredth of a share of our preferred stock, if issued:

. will not be redeemable;

. will entitle holders to quarterly dividend payments of $.01 per
share, or an amount equal to the dividend paid on one share of our
common stock, whichever is greater;

. will entitle holders upon liquidation either to receive $1 per share
or an amount equal to the payment made on one share of our common
stock, whichever is greater;

. will have the same voting power as one share of our common stock; and

. if shares of our common stock are exchanged via merger, consolidation
or a similar transaction, will entitle holders to a per share payment
equal to the payment made on one share of our common stock.

The value of one one-hundredth interest in a share of our preferred stock
should approximate the value of one share of our common stock.

EXPIRATION

Our rights will expire on June 6, 2011.

REDEMPTION

Our Board of Directors may redeem our rights for $.01 per right at any
time before any person or group becomes an acquiring person. If our Board of
Directors redeems any of our rights, it must redeem all of our rights. Once our
rights are redeemed, the only right of the holders of our rights will be to
receive the redemption price of $.01 per right. The redemption price will be
adjusted if we have a stock split or stock dividends of our common stock.

EXCHANGE

After a person or group becomes an acquiring person, but before an
acquiring person owns 50% or more of our outstanding common stock, our Board of
Directors may extinguish our rights by exchanging one share of our common stock
or an equivalent security for each right, other than rights held by the
acquiring person.

ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS

Our Board of Directors may adjust the purchase price of our preferred
stock, the number of shares of our preferred stock issuable and the number of
our outstanding rights to prevent dilution that may occur from a stock
dividend, a stock split or a reclassification of our preferred stock or common
stock. No adjustments to the purchase price of our preferred stock of less than
1% will be made.

AMENDMENTS

The terms of our rights agreement may be amended by our Board of
Directors without the consent of the holders of our rights. After a person or
group becomes an acquiring person, our Board of Directors may not amend the
agreement in a way that adversely affects holders of our rights.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare
Investor Services.

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING

The shares of our common stock have been approved for listing on the New
York Stock Exchange, subject to notice of issuance, under the symbol "FTI."

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

All of our common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable
without restriction under the Securities Act, except for any shares that may be
acquired by an affiliate of us as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
Persons that may be deemed to be affiliates generally include our individuals
or entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with,
us, and may include our directors or officers of FMC Technologies as well as
our significant stockholders, if any.

The shares of our common stock held by FMC Corporation are deemed
"restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144, and may not be sold other than
through registration under the Securities Act or under an exemption from
registration.

After the completion of this offering, FMC Corporation will own
approximately 83.0% of our outstanding common stock, or 80.9% if the
underwriters exercise their overallotment option in full. FMC Corporation has
advised us that it currently intends to distribute its remaining ownership
interest in us to common stockholders of FMC Corporation. If completed, the
distribution, as previously announced, is expected to take the form of a spin-
off in which FMC Corporation distributes all of our common stock that it owns
through a special dividend to FMC Corporation common stockholders. If
circumstances change, FMC Corporation may distribute its remaining ownership
interest in us through an exchange offer by FMC Corporation, in which its
common stockholders would be offered the option of tendering some or all of
their shares in exchange for our common stock, and a subsequent spin-off of FMC
Corporation's remaining ownership interest in us. FMC Corporation has advised
us that it does not intend to complete the distribution unless it receives a
favorable tax ruling from the IRS as to the tax-free nature of the distribution
for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and the final approval of the Board of
Directors of FMC Corporation, among other conditions. FMC Corporation has also
advised us that it currently anticipates that the distribution will occur by
the end of calendar year 2001.

FMC Corporation has advised as that the final determination as to the
completion, timing, structure and terms of the distribution will be based on
financial and business considerations and prevailing market conditions. In
addition, FMC Corporation has advised us that, as permitted by the separation
and distribution agreement, it will not complete the distribution if its Board
of Directors determines that the distribution is not in the best interests of
FMC Corporation and its stockholders. FMC Corporation has the sole discretion
to determine whether or not to complete the distribution and, if it decides to
complete the distribution, to determine the timing, structure and terms of the
distribution.

Shares of our common stock distributed to FMC Corporation common
stockholders in the distribution generally will be freely transferable, except
for shares of our common stock received by persons that may be deemed to be our
affiliates. Persons who are our affiliates will be permitted to sell the shares
of our common stock that are issued in this offering or that they receive in
the distribution only through registration under the Securities Act, or under
an exemption from registration, such as the one provided by Rule 144.

We, our directors, our executive officers and FMC Corporation have agreed
with the underwriters that, subject to exceptions (including the distribution),
during the period beginning from the date of this prospectus and continuing to
and including the date 180 days after the date of this prospectus, we generally
will not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of
our common stock without the prior written consent of Merrill Lynch & Co. on
behalf of the underwriters. Although it has no intent or understanding to do
so, Merrill Lynch, in its sole discretion, may permit early release of the
shares of our common stock subject to the restrictions detailed above prior to
the expiration of the 180-day lockup period. Merrill Lynch has advised us that,
prior to granting any early release of our common stock from the lockup, it
would consider factors including need, market conditions, the performance of
our common stock price, trading liquidity, prior trading habits of the
requesting party and other relevant considerations. For more information
relating to these restrictions, see "Underwriting."

In connection with this offering, we will grant options to purchase
approximately 2,250,000 shares of our common stock to selected employees and
directors of our company. In connection with this offering, we intend to file a
registration statement on Form S-8 to register approximately 12,000,000 shares
of our common stock that are reserved for issuance or sale under our stock
plan, as described under "Management--Incentive Plans." Currently, there are no
outstanding options to purchase shares of our common stock. All shares of our
common stock issuable upon exercise of options to be granted under our stock
plans will be freely tradable upon effectiveness of the registration statement
on Form S-8 without restrictions under the Securities Act, except to the extent
held by one of our affiliates (in which case they will be subject to the
limitations of Rule 144 described above). We expect that the registration
statement on Form S-8 will also register shares of our common stock issuable
upon exercise of options to acquire our common stock that we expect to grant in
replacement of all FMC Corporation options held by our employees and a portion
of the FMC Corporation options held by our directors in connection with the
distribution. See "Management--Treatment of FMC Corporation Options." In
addition, we expect the registration statement on Form S-8 will register shares
of our common stock issuable upon the lapse of restrictions on the grants of
restricted stock made in replacement of all FMC Corporation restricted stock
granted to our employees and to the Chairman of our Board of Directors in
connection with this offering and all FMC Corporation restricted stock granted
to employees of FMC Corporation whom we hire as of the distribution date and a
portion of the FMC Corporation restricted stock granted to our non-employee
directors, other than the Chairman of our Board of Directors, in connection
with the distribution. The terms of our restricted stock are limited by the
terms of our stock plan. See "Management--Treatment of FMC Corporation
Restricted Stock" and "Management--Incentive Plans--The Stock Plan."

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK

The following is a general discussion of material U.S. Federal income and
estate tax considerations with respect to the ownership and disposition of
shares of our common stock applicable to non-U.S. holders. In general, a "non-
U.S. holder" is any holder other than:

. a citizen or resident of the United States;

. a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the
laws of the United States or of any state;

. an estate, the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S.
Federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

. a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary supervision over the administration of the trust and (b) one
or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial
decisions of the trust.

This discussion is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial
opinions, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service, and all other
applicable authorities, all of which are subject to change (possibly with
retroactive effect). We assume in this discussion that a non-U.S. holder holds
shares of our common stock as a capital asset (generally property held for
investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. Federal
income and estate taxation that may be important to a particular non-U.S.
holder in light of that non-U.S. holder's individual circumstances nor does it
address any aspects of U.S. state, local or non-U.S. taxes. This discussion
also does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to a
non-U.S. holder subject to special treatment under the U.S. Federal income tax
laws (such as insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial
institutions, brokers, dealers in securities, partnerships, owners of more than
5% of our common stock and certain U.S. expatriates). Accordingly, we urge
prospective investors to consult with their own tax advisor regarding the U.S.
Federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax considerations of
acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of our common stock.

DIVIDENDS

In general, dividends we pay to a non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S.
withholding tax at a 30% rate of the gross amount (or a lower rate prescribed
by an applicable income tax treaty) unless the dividends are effectively
connected with a trade or business carried on by the non-U.S. holder within the
United States and, if a treaty applies, are attributable to a permanent
establishment of the non-U.S. holder within the United States. Dividends
effectively connected with this U.S. trade or business, and, if a treaty
applies, attributable to such a permanent establishment of a non-U.S. Holder,
generally will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if the non-U.S. holder
files certain forms, including IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form), with
the payor of the dividend, and generally will be subject to U.S. Federal income
tax on a net income basis, in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a
resident of the United States. A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation, may be
subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower rate
as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the repatriation
from the United States of its "effectively connected earnings and profits,"
subject to certain adjustments. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, a non-
U.S. holder (including, in certain cases of non-U.S. holders that are entities,
the owner or owners of such entities) is required to satisfy certain
certification requirements in order to claim a reduced rate of withholding
pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty.

GAIN ON SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF COMMON STOCK

In general, a non-U.S. holder will not be subject to U.S. Federal income
tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of the holder's
shares of our common stock unless:

. the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business carried on
by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (in which case the
branch profits tax discussed above may also apply if the non-

U.S. holder is a corporation) or the gain is attributable to a
permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder maintained in the
United States if that is required by an applicable income tax treaty
as a condition to subjecting a non-U.S. holder to United States
income tax on a net basis;

. the non-U.S. holder is an individual and is present in the United
States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and
certain other tests are met;

. the non-U.S. holder is subject to tax pursuant to the provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code regarding the taxation of U.S. expatriates;
or

. we are or have been a U.S. real property holding corporation (a
"USRPHC") for U.S. Federal income tax purposes (which we do not
believe that we have been, currently are, or will become) at any time
within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition
and the non-U.S. holder's holding period. If we were or were to
become a USRPHC at any time during this period, generally gains
realized upon a disposition of shares of our common stock by a non-
U.S. holder that did not directly or indirectly own more than 5% of
our common stock during this period would not be subject to U.S.
Federal income tax, provided that our common stock is "regularly
traded on an established securities market" (within the meaning of
Section 897(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code). We believe that our
common stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established
securities market during any period in which it is listed on the
NYSE.

ESTATE TAX

Shares of our common stock that are owned or treated as owned by an
individual who is not a citizen or resident (as defined for U.S. Federal
estate tax purposes) of the United States at the time of death will be
includible in the individual's gross estate for U.S. Federal estate tax
purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provided otherwise, and
therefore may be subject to U.S. Federal estate tax.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING, INFORMATION REPORTING AND OTHER REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

We must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder the
amount of dividends paid to, and the tax withheld with respect to, each non-
U.S. holder. These reporting requirements apply regardless of whether
withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable tax treaty. Copies of
this information also may be made available under the provisions of a specific
treaty or agreement with the tax authorities in the country in which the non-
U.S Holder resides or is established.

U.S. backup withholding tax is imposed at the rate of 31% on certain
payments to persons that fail to furnish the information required under the
U.S. information reporting requirements.

Under the Treasury Regulations, the payment of proceeds from the
disposition of shares of our common stock to or through a U.S. office of a
broker will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless
the beneficial owner, under penalties of perjury, certifies, among other
things, its status as a non-U.S. holder or otherwise establishes an exemption.
The payment of proceeds from the disposition of shares of our common stock to
or through a non-U.S. office of a broker generally will not be subject to
backup withholding and information reporting, except as noted below. In the
case of proceeds from a disposition of shares of our common stock paid to or
though a non-U.S. office of a broker that is:

. a U.S. person;

. a "controlled foreign corporation" for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes;

. a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income from certain
periods is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business; or

. a foreign partnership if at any time during its tax year (a) one or
more of its partners are U.S. persons who, in the aggregate, hold
more than 50% of the income or capital interests of the partnership
or (b) the foreign partnership is engaged in a U.S. trade or
business,

information reporting (but not backup withholding) will apply unless the broker
has documentary evidence in its files that the owner is a non-U.S. holder and
certain other conditions are satisfied, or the beneficial owner otherwise
establishes an exemption (and the broker has no actual knowledge to the
contrary).

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under
the backup withholding rules from a payment to a non-U.S. holder can be
refunded or credited against the non-U.S. holder's U.S. Federal income tax
liability, if any, provided that the required information is furnished to the
IRS in a timely manner.

The foregoing discussion of certain U.S. Federal income tax
considerations is for general information only and is not tax advice.
Accordingly, each prospective non-U.S. holder of shares of our common stock
should consult his, her or its own tax adviser with respect to the Federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and
disposition of common stock.

UNDERWRITING

We intend to offer the shares in the U.S. and Canada through the U.S.
underwriters and elsewhere through the international managers. Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation,
Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC are acting as U.S.
representatives of the U.S. underwriters named below. Subject to the terms and
conditions described in a U.S. purchase agreement among us and the U.S.
underwriters, and concurrently with the sale of 2,210,000 shares of our common
stock to the international managers, we have agreed to sell to the U.S.
underwriters, and the U.S. underwriters severally have agreed to purchase from
us, the number of shares of our common stock listed opposite their names below.

=========

We have also entered into an international purchase agreement with the
international managers for sale of the shares outside the U.S. and Canada for
whom Merrill Lynch International, Credit Suisse First Boston (Europe) Limited,
Salomon Brothers International Limited and Banc of America Securities Limited
are acting as lead managers. Subject to the terms and conditions in the
international purchase agreement, and concurrently with the sale of 8,840,000
shares of our common stock to the U.S. underwriters under the U.S. purchase
agreement, we have agreed to sell to the international managers, and the
international managers severally have agreed to purchase from us, an aggregate
of 2,210,000 shares of our common stock in this offering. The initial public
offering price per share and the total underwriting discount per share of our
common stock are identical under the U.S. purchase agreement and the
international purchase agreement.

The U.S. underwriters and the international managers have agreed to
purchase all of the shares of our common stock sold under the U.S. and
international purchase agreements if any of these shares of our common stock
are purchased. If an underwriter defaults, the U.S. and international purchase
agreements provide that the purchase commitments of the nondefaulting
underwriters may be increased or the purchase agreements may be terminated. The
closings for sale of shares of our common stock to be purchased by the U.S.
underwriters and the international managers are conditioned on one another.

We have agreed to indemnify the U.S. underwriters and the international
managers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the U.S. underwriters and
international managers may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

The underwriters are offering the shares of our common stock, subject to
prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval
of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the shares of our
common stock, and other conditions contained in the purchase agreements, such
as the receipt by the underwriters of officer's certificates and legal
opinions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify
offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

Merrill Lynch will be facilitating Internet distribution for this
offering to some of its Internet subscription customers. Merrill Lynch intends
to allocate a limited number of shares of our common stock for sale to its
online brokerage customers. An electronic prospectus is available on the
Internet Web sites maintained by Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on
the Web sites of Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, Salomon
Smith Barney Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC is not part of this
prospectus.

COMMISSIONS AND DISCOUNTS

The U.S. representatives have advised us that the U.S. underwriters
propose initially to offer the shares of our common stock to the public at the
initial public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus and to
dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $.75 per share. The
U.S. underwriters may allow, and the dealers may reallow, a discount not in
excess of $.10 per share to other dealers. After the initial public offering,
the public offering price, concession and discount may be changed.

The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting
discount and proceeds before expenses to us. This information assumes either no
exercise or full exercise by the U.S. underwriters and the international
managers of their overallotment options.

PER SHARE WITHOUT OPTION WITH OPTION
--------- -------------- ------------

Public offering price............... $20.00 $221,000,000 $254,150,000
Underwriting discount............... $1.25 $13,812,500 $15,884,375
Proceeds, before expenses, to us.... $18.75 $207,187,500 $238,265,625

The expenses of this offering, not including the underwriting discount,
are estimated at $2,654,000 and are payable by us.

OVERALLOTMENT OPTION

We have granted an option to the U.S. underwriters to purchase up to
1,326,000 additional shares of our common stock at the public offering price
less the underwriting discount. The U.S. underwriters may exercise this option
for 30 days from the date of this prospectus solely to cover any
overallotments. If the U.S. underwriters exercise this option, each will be
obligated, subject to the conditions contained in the purchase agreements, to
purchase a number of additional shares of our common stock proportionate to
that U.S. underwriter's initial amount reflected in the above table.

We have also granted an option to the international managers, exercisable
for 30 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 331,500
additional shares of our common stock to cover any overallotments on terms
similar to those granted to the U.S. underwriters.

INTERSYNDICATE AGREEMENT

The U.S. underwriters and the international managers have entered into an
intersyndicate agreement that provides for the coordination of their
activities. Under the intersyndicate agreement, the U.S. underwriters and the
international managers may sell shares of our common stock to each other for
purposes of resale at the initial public offering price, less an amount not
greater than the selling concession. Under the intersyndicate agreement, the
U.S. underwriters and any dealer to whom they sell shares of our common stock
will not offer to sell or sell shares to persons who are non-U.S. or non-
Canadian persons or to persons they believe intend to resell to persons who are
non-U.S. or non-Canadian persons, except in the case of transactions under the

intersyndicate agreement. Similarly, the international managers and any dealer
to whom they sell shares of our common stock will not offer to sell or sell
shares of our common stock to U.S. persons or Canadian persons or to persons
they believe intend to resell to U.S. persons or Canadian persons, except in
the case of transactions under the terms of the intersyndicate agreement.

RESERVED SHARES

At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale, at the initial
offering price, up to 1,105,000 shares offered by this prospectus for sale to
some of our directors, officers and employees and FMC Corporation's directors,
officers and employees. If these persons purchase reserved shares, this will
reduce the number of shares available for sale to the general public. Any
reserved shares that are not orally confirmed for purchase within one day of
the pricing of this offering will be offered by the underwriters to the general
public on the same terms as the other shares offered by this prospectus.

NO SALES OF SIMILAR SECURITIES

We, our executive officers and directors and FMC Corporation have agreed,
with exceptions, not to sell or transfer any of our common stock for 180 days
after the date of this prospectus without first obtaining the written consent
of Merrill Lynch. Specifically, we and these other persons have agreed not to
directly or indirectly:

. offer, pledge, sell or contract to sell any of our common stock,

. sell any option or contract to purchase any of our common stock,

. purchase any option or contract to sell any of our common stock,

. grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of any of our common
stock, other than pursuant to our employee benefit plans or director
stock plan,

. lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any of our common stock,

. file, or request or demand that we file, a registration statement
related to our common stock other than in connection with our
employee benefit plans, or

. enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in
part, the economic consequence of ownership of any of our common
stock whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by
delivery of shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

However, the time period of our officers' and directors' lockup
restrictions will be shortened if the distribution occurs within 180 days of
the date of this prospectus. If the distribution occurs within 120 days of the
date of this prospectus, our officers' and directors' lockup restrictions will
expire on the 120th day after the date of this prospectus. If the distribution
occurs after the 120th day but within 180 days after the date of this
prospectus, our officers' and directors' lockup restrictions will expire on the
date that the distribution occurs.

This lockup provision applies to our common stock and to securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with our
common stock. It also applies to our common stock owned now or acquired later
by the person executing the agreement or for which the person executing the
agreement later acquires the power of disposition. These restrictions do not
apply to shares of our common stock sold to the underwriters and international
managers under this prospectus or shares purchased by our executive officers or
directors in the open market.

In addition, these restrictions do not prohibit FMC Corporation from
engaging in the distribution or from selling all, but not less than all, of our
common stock owned by FMC Corporation to another person provided that such
person agrees to be bound by these restrictions until 180 days after the date
of this prospectus.

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING

The shares have been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange,
subject to notice of issuance, under the symbol "FTI." In order to meet the
requirements for listing of our common stock on the NYSE, the U.S. underwriters
and the international managers have undertaken to sell a minimum number of
shares of our common stock to a minimum number of beneficial owners as required
by the NYSE.

Before this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock. The initial public offering price was determined through negotiations
among us and the U.S. representatives and the lead managers. In addition to
prevailing market conditions, the factors considered in determining the initial
public offering price were:

. the valuation multiples of publicly traded companies that the U.S.
representatives and the lead managers believe to be comparable to us,

. our financial information,

. the history of, and the prospects for, our company and the industry
in which we compete,

. an assessment of our management, our past and present operations, and
the prospects for, and timing of, our future revenues,

. the present state of our development, and

. the above factors in relation to market values and various valuation
measures of other companies engaged in activities similar to ours.

An active trading market for the shares may not develop. It is also
possible that after the offering the shares of our common stock will not trade
in the public market at or above the initial public offering price.

The underwriters do not expect to sell more than 5% of the shares of our
common stock being offered in this offering in the aggregate to accounts over
which they exercise discretionary authority.

NASD REGULATIONS

Affiliates of each of the U.S. representatives other than Merrill Lynch
are participating as lenders under our $150 million 364-day revolving credit
facility. An affiliate of Banc of America Securities LLC is acting as
administrative agent for this facility. The net proceeds from the exercise of
the underwriters' overallotment option, if any, may be used to repay borrowings
outstanding under this credit facility. Additionally, affiliates of Banc of
America Securities LLC and Salomon Smith Barney Inc. act as lenders under FMC
Corporation's revolving credit facility and other debt obligations of FMC
Corporation. FMC Corporation may use the net proceeds of this offering that we
will distribute to it to reduce borrowings under its revolving credit facility
or to repay its other debt obligations. Because more than ten percent of the
net proceeds of this offering may be paid to members or affiliates of members
of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. participating in this
offering, this offering will be conducted in accordance with NASD Conduct Rule
2710(c)(8). This rule requires that the public offering price of an equity
security be no higher than the price recommended by a qualified independent
underwriter which has participated in the preparation of the registration
statement and performed its usual standard of due diligence with respect to
that registration statement. Merrill Lynch has agreed to act as qualified
independent underwriter for this offering. The price of the shares was no
higher than that recommended by Merrill Lynch.

PRICE STABILIZATION AND SHORT POSITIONS AND PENALTY BIDS

Until this offering of shares of our common stock is completed, SEC rules
may limit underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and
purchasing our common stock. However, the U.S. underwriters may engage in
transactions that stabilize the price of our common stock, such as bids or
purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price.

100

The U.S. underwriters may purchase and sell our common stock in the open
market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions
and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve
the sale by the U.S. underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are
required to purchase in this offering. "Covered" short sales are sales made in
an amount not greater than the underwriters' option to purchase additional
shares from the issuer in this offering. The U.S. underwriters may close out
any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase
additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the
source of shares to close out the covered short position, the U.S. underwriters
will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase
in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares
through the overallotment option. "Naked" short sales are any sales in excess
of such option. The U.S. underwriters must close out any naked short position
by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely
to be created if the U.S. underwriters are concerned that there may be downward
pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that
could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. Stabilizing
transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of common stock made by
the U.S. underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of this
offering.

The U.S. underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a
particular underwriter repays to the other underwriters a portion of the
underwriting discount received by it because the U.S. underwriters have
repurchased shares sold by or for the account of that underwriter in
stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Similar to other purchase transactions, the U.S. underwriters' purchases
to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or
maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a
decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our
common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the
open market.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation or
prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions
described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither
we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the U.S.
underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once
commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

OTHER RELATIONSHIPS

Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in
the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the
ordinary course of business with us or FMC Corporation. Some of the
underwriters and their affiliates also have engaged in commercial banking and
investment banking transactions and services with us or FMC Corporation,
including with respect to the separation, and may in the future engage in these
transactions and services. They have received customary compensation for these
services and transactions. Specifically, Merrill Lynch was engaged by FMC
Corporation in November 1999 to render financial advisory services to assist in
reviewing financial and strategic alternatives for which it received ordinary
and customary compensation. Additional compensation may be received by Merrill
Lynch from FMC Corporation in connection with this engagement in the event that
FMC Corporation completes a distribution of our shares to its shareholders
following this offering.

101

validity of our common stock being sold in this offering and other legal
matters for us. Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., Houston, Texas, will pass upon a number
of legal matters relating to this offering for the underwriters. Each of these
firms has in the past represented and continues to represent one or more of the
underwriters, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz has in the past represented
and continues to represent FMC Corporation, on a regular basis and in a variety
of matters other than this offering.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors and Stockholder,
FMC Technologies, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of FMC
Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 2000, and the related combined
statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholder's equity for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000. These combined
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FMC
Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 2000, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

On October 31, 2000, FMC Corporation announced its intention to
reorganize its Energy Production Systems, Energy Processing Systems, FoodTech
and Airport Systems businesses as a new company, FMC Technologies, Inc. ("FMC
Technologies" or the "Company"), and to sell up to 19.9% of FMC Technologies'
common stock by means of an initial public offering (the "offering"), followed
by a distribution (the "distribution") to FMC Corporation's stockholders of FMC
Corporation's remaining interest in the Company's common stock. FMC Corporation
has further advised FMC Technologies that the distribution is expected to occur
by the end of calendar year 2001.

FMC Technologies was incorporated in Delaware on November 13, 2000 and
currently is a wholly owned subsidiary of FMC Corporation. FMC Technologies
designs, manufactures and services technologically sophisticated systems and
products for its customers through its Energy Production Systems, Energy
Processing Systems, FoodTech and Airport Systems segments. Energy Production
Systems is a leading supplier of systems and services used in the offshore,

provides technologically advanced equipment and services for airlines, airports
and air freight companies.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

FMC Corporation has operated the businesses it will transfer to FMC
Technologies in the separation as internal units of FMC Corporation through
various divisions and subsidiaries, or through investments in unconsolidated
affiliates. Before the closing of the offering, FMC Corporation intends to
contribute substantially all of its ownership interests in the businesses
included in these combined financial statements to the Company with the
remainder to be transferred shortly after the closing. These combined financial
statements reflect the combined results of the businesses as if they had been
contributed to the Company for all periods. Subsequent to the contribution, all
of the businesses included in these combined financial statements will be
consolidated subsidiaries or divisions of the Company, or will be investments
of the Company or its subsidiaries.

FMC Technologies' combined financial statements have been carved out from
the consolidated financial statements of FMC Corporation using the historical
results of operations and bases of the assets and liabilities of the
transferred businesses, and give effect to certain allocations of expenses from
FMC Corporation. Such expenses represent costs related to general and
administrative services that FMC Corporation has provided to FMC Technologies,
including accounting, treasury, tax, legal, human resources, information
technology and other corporate and infrastructure services. The costs of these
services have been allocated to FMC Technologies and included in the Company's
combined financial statements based upon the relative levels of use of those
services. The expense allocations have been determined on the basis of
assumptions and estimates that management believes to be a reasonable
reflection of FMC Technologies' utilization of those services. These
allocations and estimates, however, are not necessarily indicative of the costs
and expenses that would have resulted if FMC Technologies had operated as a
separate entity in the past, or of the costs the Company may incur in the
future. For information relating to FMC Technologies' relationship with FMC
Corporation and services between FMC Technologies and FMC Corporation following
the separation, see Note 18.

The Company's cash resources are managed under a centralized system
wherein receipts are deposited to the corporate accounts of FMC Corporation and
disbursements are centrally funded. Accordingly, settlement of certain assets
and liabilities arising from common services or activities provided by FMC
Corporation and certain related-party transactions are reflected as net equity
distributions to FMC Corporation.

The combined financial statements do not reflect the debt or interest
expense FMC Technologies would have incurred if it were a stand-alone entity.
In addition, the combined financial statements may not be

F-7

FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

indicative of the Company's combined financial position, operating results or
cash flows in the future or what the Company's financial position, operating
results and cash flows would have been had FMC Technologies been a separate,
stand-alone entity during the periods presented. The combined financial
statements do not reflect any changes that will occur in the Company's funding
or operations as a result of the offering, the distribution and FMC
Technologies becoming a stand-alone entity.

NOTE 3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results are likely to
differ from those estimates, but FMC Technologies' management does not believe
such differences will materially affect the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

Principles of combination--The combined financial statements include the
accounts of the Energy Systems, FoodTech and Airport Systems businesses of FMC
Corporation that will be transferred to FMC Technologies in the separation. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in combination.

Unaudited financial information--The combined balance sheet as of March
31, 2001, and the combined statements of income, cash flows and changes in
stockholder's equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 2001
have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. In the opinion of
management, these financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company's results
of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2000 and
2001 and of its financial position as of March 31, 2001. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2000 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations for the full year.

These notes to combined financial statements also include supplemental
information as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2001. The
supplemental information is unaudited and appears in Notes 3, 5, 6, 9, 14 and
15. In each note, the unaudited supplemental information is dated as of a date
in 2001.

Revenue recognition--Revenue from equipment sales is either recognized
upon transfer of title to the customer (which is generally upon shipment or
when customer-specific acceptance requirements are met) or under the percentage
of completion method. The percentage of completion method is used for
manufacturing and assembly projects that involve significant design and
engineering effort in order to satisfy detailed customer-supplied
specifications. Revenue is recognized as work progresses on each contract in
the ratio that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs at
completion. Any expected losses on contracts in progress are charged to
operations in the period the losses become probable. Service revenue is
recognized as the service is provided.

Cash equivalents--The Company considers investments in all highly liquid
debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

Accounts receivable--During the fourth quarter of 1999, FMC Corporation
entered into an accounts receivable financing facility under which accounts
receivable are sold without recourse through a wholly owned, bankruptcy remote
subsidiary. As part of FMC Corporation, FMC Technologies' operations have
participated in the facility, which resulted in reductions of accounts
receivable of $22.3 million and $38.0 million at December 31, 1999 and 2000,
respectively. The Company accounts for the sales of receivables in accordance
with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities." Net discounts recognized on sales of
receivables are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the
combined statements of income and amounted to $0.3 million and $0.1 million for
the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

F-8

FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

Revenue in excess of billings on completed contracts accounted for under
the percentage of completion method is included in accounts receivable and
amounted to $34.5 million at December 31, 1999 and $76.3 million at December
31, 2000.

Inventories--Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value.
Inventory costs include those costs directly attributable to products prior to
sale, including all manufacturing overhead but excluding costs to distribute.
Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") basis for all domestic
inventories, except certain inventories relating to contracts-in-progress,
which are stated at the actual production cost incurred to date, reduced by
amounts identified with recognized revenue. At December 31, 2000, inventories
accounted for under the LIFO method totaled $93.6 million. The first-in, first-
out ("FIFO") method is used to determine the cost for all other inventories.

Investments--Investments in companies in which FMC Technologies'
ownership interest is 50% or less and in which FMC Technologies exercises
significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for
using the equity method after eliminating the effects of any material
intercompany transactions. All other investments are carried at their fair
values or at cost, as appropriate.

Property, plant and equipment--Property, plant and equipment is recorded
at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided principally
on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (land
improvements--20 years, buildings--20 to 50 years, and machinery and
equipment--3 to 18 years). Gains and losses are reflected in income upon sale
or retirement of assets. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of property,
plant and equipment or increase productivity are capitalized.

The Company reviews the recovery of the net book value of property, plant
and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that
the net book value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual
disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less
than the net book value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount
by which the net book value exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Goodwill and intangible assets--Goodwill and identifiable intangible
assets (such as trademarks) are amortized on a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful or legal lives, not exceeding 40 years. The Company
periodically evaluates the recoverability of the net book value of goodwill and
intangible assets, particularly in the case of a change in business
circumstances or other triggering event, based on expected undiscounted future
cash flows for each operation having a significant goodwill balance. In cases
where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the net book value,
an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the net book
value exceeds the fair value of the assets. Amortization of goodwill amounted
to $11.2 million, $10.3 million and $10.9 million in 1998, 1999 and 2000,
respectively.

Accounts payable--Amounts advanced by customers as deposits on orders not
yet billed and progress payments on contracts-in-progress are classified with
accounts payable and amounted to $181.8 million at December 31, 1999 and $120.2
million at December 31, 2000.

Income taxes--The provision for income taxes reflected in FMC
Technologies' combined financial statements has been computed as if FMC
Technologies were a stand-alone entity and filed separate tax returns. Current
income taxes are provided on income reported for financial statement purposes
adjusted for transactions that do not enter into the computation of income
taxes payable. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured using enacted
tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.
Income taxes are not provided for the equity in undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries or affiliates when it is management's intention that such
earnings will remain invested in those companies. Taxes are provided for in the
year in which the decision is made to repatriate the earnings.

FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

Accumulated other comprehensive loss--At December 31, 1999, accumulated
other comprehensive loss consisted of cumulative foreign currency translation
losses of $76.6 million and a minimum pension liability adjustment of $3.2
million. At December 31, 2000, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted
of cumulative foreign currency translation losses of $112.5 million and a
minimum pension liability adjustment of $1.9 million. At March 31, 2001,
accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of cumulative foreign currency
translation losses of $122.4 million, a minimum pension liability adjustment of
$1.9 million and net deferred losses on hedging contracts of $2.6 million.

Earnings per common share--The Company's historical capital structure is
not indicative of its prospective capital structure and, accordingly,
historical earnings per share information has not been presented.

Foreign currency translation--Assets and liabilities of most foreign
operations are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet
date, and the foreign operations' income statements are translated at the
monthly exchange rates for the period. For operations in non-highly
inflationary countries, translation gains and losses are recorded as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholder's
equity until the foreign entity is sold or liquidated. For operations in highly
inflationary countries and where the local currency is not the functional
currency, inventories, property, plant and equipment, and other noncurrent
assets are converted to U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates, and all
gains or losses from conversion are included in net income. Foreign currency
effects on cash and cash equivalents and debt in hyperinflationary economies
are included in interest income or expense.

Derivative financial instruments and foreign currency transactions--On
January 1, 2001, the Company implemented, on a prospective basis, SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by
SFAS 137 and SFAS No. 138 (collectively, the "Statement"). The Statement
requires the Company to recognize all derivatives in the combined balance
sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair value of derivative instruments
to be recorded in current earnings or deferred in other comprehensive income,
depending on whether a derivative is designated as and is effective as a hedge
and on the type of hedging transaction. In accordance with the provisions of
the Statement, the Company recorded first quarter 2001 losses from the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $4.7 million, net of
an income tax benefit of $3.0 million, in the Company's combined statement of
earnings, and $1.3 million, net of an income tax benefit of $0.9 million, in
accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments selectively to offset
exposure to market risks arising from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Derivative financial instruments currently used by the Company primarily
consist of foreign currency forward contracts. Contracts are executed centrally
to minimize transaction costs on currency conversions and minimize losses due
to adverse changes in foreign currency markets. For anticipated transactions,
the Company enters into external derivative contracts which individually
correlate with each exposure in terms of currency and maturity, and the amount
of the contract does not exceed the amount of the exposure being hedged. For
amounts recorded on the Company's combined balance sheet, such as accounts
receivable or payable, the Company evaluates and monitors combined net
exposures by currency and maturity, and external derivative financial
instruments correlate with that net exposure in all material respects.

Generally, the Company applies hedge accounting as allowed by the
Statement for derivatives related to anticipated future cash flows, and does
not apply hedge accounting for derivatives related to fair value
exposures. For derivatives where hedge accounting is used, the Company formally
designates the derivative as either (1) a cash flow hedge of an anticipated
transaction, or (2) a foreign currency cash flow hedge. The Company also
documents the designated hedging relationship upon entering into the
derivative, including identification of the hedging instrument and the hedged
item or transaction, the strategy and risk management objective for undertaking
the hedge, and the nature of the risk being hedged. Each derivative is assessed
for hedge effectiveness both at the inception of the hedging relationship and,
at a minimum, on a quarterly basis, for as long as the derivative is
outstanding. Hedge accounting is only applied when the derivative is deemed to
be highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated cash flows of the
hedged item or transaction. Hedge

F-10

FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

accounting is discontinued if the forecasted transaction is no longer expected
to occur, and any previously deferred hedging gains or losses are recorded in
earnings immediately. Gains or losses for all designated hedges are recorded in
the combined statements of income generally on the same line item as the gain
or loss on the item being hedged.

The Company records all derivatives at fair value as assets or
liabilities in the combined balance sheets, with classification as current or
long-term. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in fair
value of the derivative is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss in
the combined balance sheets until the transaction is reflected in the earnings,
at which time any deferred hedging gains or losses are also recorded in
earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a
derivative used as a cash flow hedge is recorded in earnings as incurred.

For periods prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 133, gains and losses on
hedges of existing assets and liabilities were included in the carrying amounts
of those assets or liabilities and were ultimately recognized in income when
those carrying amounts were converted. Gains and losses related to hedges of
firm commitments also were deferred and included in the basis of the
transaction when it was completed. Gains and losses on unhedged foreign
currency transactions were included in income as part of cost of sales or
services. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments that protect the
Company from exposure in a particular currency, but do not currently have a
designated underlying transaction, were also included in income as part of cost
of sales or services. If a hedged item matured, was sold, extinguished, or
terminated, or was related to an anticipated transaction that is no longer
likely to take place, the derivative financial instrument related to the hedged
item was closed out and the related gain or loss was included in income as part
of cost of sales or services or interest expense, as appropriate in relation to
the hedged item.

Cash flows from derivative contracts are reported in the combined
statements of cash flows in the same categories as the cash flows from the
underlying transactions. The 2001 cash outflow related to contracts settled as
a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 133 of $3.8 million is reported separately
in the combined statements of cash flows.

Segment information--The Company's determination of its four reportable
segments was made on the basis of its strategic business units and the
commonalities among the products and services within each segment and
corresponds to the manner in which the Company's management reviews and
evaluates operating performance. The Company has combined certain similar
operating segments that meet applicable criteria established under SFAS No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."

Energy Production Systems is a leading supplier of systems and services
used in the offshore, particularly deepwater, exploration and production of
crude oil and natural gas. Energy Processing Systems is a leading provider of
specialized systems and products to customers involved in the production,
transportation and processing of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum-
based products. FoodTech is a leading supplier of technologically sophisticated
food handling and processing systems and products to industrial food processing
companies. Airport Systems provides technologically advanced equipment and
services for airlines, airports and air freight companies. See Note 15 for a
further description and additional information regarding the Company's
segments.

NOTE 4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURES

In August 1998, the Company acquired a majority of the voting stock of a
leading wellhead manufacturer. Following a 1999 tender offer for the remaining
outstanding shares of the acquired business, the Company holds a 98% ownership
interest. The acquired business' operations are included in the Energy
Production Systems segment.

On February 16, 2000, the Company acquired York International
Corporation's Northfield Freezing Systems Group ("Northfield") for $39.8
million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. Northfield,
headquartered in Northfield, MN, is a manufacturer of freezers, coolers and
dehydrators for the industrial food

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

processing industry. The Company has recorded goodwill (to be amortized over 40
years) and other intangible assets totaling $41.6 million relating to the
acquisition. Northfield's operations are included in the FoodTech segment.

The Company completed smaller acquisitions and joint venture investments
during the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000.

All acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase prices have been allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values of
such assets and liabilities at the dates of acquisition. The excess of the
purchase prices over the fair values of the net tangible assets acquired has
been recorded as intangible assets, primarily goodwill, and is amortized over
periods ranging from 10 to 40 years. Had the acquisitions occurred at the
beginning of the earliest period presented, the effect on the Company's
combined financial statements would not have been significantly different than
those reported and, accordingly, pro forma financial information has not been
provided.

The purchase prices for all of the aforementioned acquisitions were
satisfied from cash flows from operations and external financing. Results of
operations of the acquired companies have been included in the Company's
combined statements of income from the respective dates of acquisition.

In July 1998, the Company completed the sale of its Crosby Valve business
to a subsidiary of Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco") for cash and Tyco preferred
stock valued at $121.6 million. In October 2000, the Company redeemed its
investment in Tyco preferred stock in exchange for cash proceeds of $128.7
million, including dividends of $1.2 million. Crosby Valve was included in the
Energy Processing Systems segment until its sale in July 1998.

Asset sales and the divestiture of Crosby Valve during the year ended
December 31, 1998 resulted in gains of $19.1 million. Asset sales during the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 resulted in gains of $10.1 million and
$3.3 million, respectively.

NOTE 5. ASSET IMPAIRMENTS AND RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

Restructuring spending related to a restructuring program initiated in
1997 was $13.2 million and $8.9 million in 1998 and 1999, respectively. All
restructuring activities were completed and there were no remaining accruals
related to this program at December 31, 1999.

In the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded asset impairments and
restructuring and other one-time charges of $9.6 million ($5.9 million after
tax). Asset impairments of $6.0 million were required to write down certain
FoodTech assets. Estimated future cash flows attributed to these assets
indicated that an impairment of the assets had occurred. The restructuring and
other one-time charges of $3.6 million resulted primarily from strategic
decisions to divest or restructure certain corporate departments and a number
of businesses, including certain FoodTech and Energy Processing Systems
operations. Restructuring spending under all 1999 programs totaled $2.7 million
and $0.9 million in 1999 and 2000, respectively, and included severance
payments for 122 individuals. All restructuring activities were completed and
there were no remaining accruals related to these programs at December 31,
2000.

In the second quarter of 2000, FMC Technologies recorded asset
impairments and restructuring and other one-time charges totaling $11.3 million
before taxes ($6.9 million after tax). Asset impairments of $1.5 million were
required to write down certain Energy Production Systems equipment, as
estimated future cash flows attributed to these assets indicated that an
impairment of the assets had occurred. Restructuring and other one-time charges
were $9.8 million, of which $8.0 million resulted primarily from strategic
decisions to

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

restructure certain FoodTech operations, and included planned reductions in
force of 236 individuals. Restructuring charges of $1.4 million at Energy
Production Systems included severance costs related to planned reductions in
force of 68 individuals as a result of the delay in orders received from oil
and gas companies for major systems. Restructuring charges of $0.4 million
related to a corporate reduction in force. Restructuring spending under these
programs totaled $7.0 million in 2000. The remaining 53 workforce reductions
associated with these restructuring programs were substantially completed
during the first quarter of 2001, and related spending during the three months
ended March 31, 2001 totalled $3.0 million.

In the first quarter of 2001, FMC Technologies recorded an asset
impairment and one-time restructuring charges of $10.5 million before taxes
($6.5 million after tax). An asset impairment of $1.3 million was required to
write off goodwill associated with a small FoodTech product line which the
Company does not intend to develop further. Restructuring charges were $9.2
million, of which $5.2 million related to planned reductions in force of 91
individuals in the Energy Processing Systems businesses, $2.5 million related
to planned reductions in force of 72 positions in the FoodTech businesses, and
$1.5 million related to a planned plant closing and restructuring of an Airport
Systems facility, including 73 planned workforce reductions. Restructuring
spending of $1.1 million related to the 2001 programs occurred during the three
months ended March 31, 2001.

NOTE 6. INVENTORIES

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market value. The
current replacement costs of inventories exceeded their recorded values by
$78.8 million and $82.3 million at December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
During 1999, the Company reduced certain LIFO inventories that were carried at
lower than prevailing costs, resulting in a reduction of LIFO expense of $2.0
million. There were no reductions in LIFO inventories during 1998 and 2000.

Inventories consisted of the following:

Depreciation expense was $49.0 million, $46.2 million and $41.2 million
in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

During 1999 and 2000, the Company entered into agreements for the sale
and leaseback of certain equipment. Net property, plant and equipment was
reduced by the equipment's carrying values of $29.1 million in 1999 and $13.7
million in 2000. The net cash proceeds received were $52.1 million in 1999 and
$22.5 million in 2000. Non-amortizing deferred credits were recorded in
conjunction with the sale transactions. These credits totaled $23.4 and $31.8
million at December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively, and are included in other
long-term liabilities. The Company has annual fair market value purchase
options under the agreements. The leases, which end in December 2004, are
classified as operating leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for
Leases."

NOTE 8. DEBT

At December 31, 1999 and 2000, short-term debt included third-party debt
of FMC Technologies' foreign operations of $11.9 million and $14.0 million,
respectively. The weighted average interest rates on these outstanding
borrowings were approximately 8.8% and 8.4% at December 31, 1999 and 2000,
respectively. In addition, at December 31, 2000, short-term debt included $26.9
million of borrowings from MODEC International LLC, a 37.5%-owned joint
venture, at an interest rate of approximately 7.2%.

Because FMC Corporation has historically funded most of its businesses
centrally, third-party debt and cash for operating companies has been minimal
and is not representative of what the Company's actual debt balances would have
been had the Company been a separate, stand-alone entity. See Note 18 for a
further description of the financing arrangements relating to the separation.

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES

The operating results of FMC Technologies have been included in FMC
Corporation's U.S. consolidated income tax returns and the state and foreign
tax returns of FMC Corporation and its domestic affiliates. In certain
instances, income of domestic subsidiaries of FMC Technologies is reported on
separate state income tax returns of the domestic subsidiaries. In addition,
operating results of foreign operations of FMC Technologies have been included
in the tax returns of foreign affiliates of FMC Corporation. As long as FMC
Corporation continues to own at least 80% of the voting power and value of FMC
Technologies' outstanding capital stock, FMC Technologies will continue to be
included in the U.S. consolidated income tax returns of FMC Corporation and
certain state and foreign income tax returns of FMC Corporation and its
affiliates.

The provision for income taxes in FMC Technologies' combined financial
statements has been prepared as if FMC Technologies were a stand-alone entity
and filed separate tax returns. See Note 18 for a description of the tax
sharing agreements between FMC Corporation and FMC Technologies.

During the first quarter of 2001 in connection with the separation of its
business from FMC Corporation, FMC Technologies repatriated $50.1 million of
undistributed earnings from certain of its Norwegian and Swiss operations,
resulting in an income tax charge of $3.3 million, substantially all of which
represents a deferred liability. Other income tax liabilities resulting from
the repatriation have been assumed by FMC Corporation under the terms of the
tax sharing agreements described in Note 18.

U.S. income taxes have not been provided for the equity in undistributed
earnings of foreign consolidated subsidiaries ($172.1 million and $153.1
million at December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively, and $118.9 million at
March 31, 2001) or foreign unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates ($2.8
million and $2.0 million at December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively).
Restrictions on the distribution of these earnings are not significant. Foreign
earnings taxable to the Company as dividends were $7.9 million, $14.0 million
and $35.3 million in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

NOTE 10. PENSIONS AND POSTRETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS

Through the end of 2000, substantially all of the Company's domestic
employees participated in FMC Corporation's qualified pension and
postretirement medical and life insurance plans after meeting certain
employment criteria, and may have participated in FMC Corporation's other
benefit plans depending on their location and employment status. Foreign-based
employees may also have been eligible to participate in FMC Corporation-
sponsored or government-sponsored programs that were available to them.

Pension and postretirement amounts recognized in the Company's combined
financial statements have been determined on the basis of certain assumptions
regarding whether FMC Corporation or FMC Technologies will assume the assets
and liabilities related to specific groups of current and former FMC
Corporation employees. The ultimate distribution of pension and postretirement
benefit assets and liabilities will be governed by the employee benefits
agreement that the Company will enter into with FMC Corporation and will
involve actuarial calculations and determinations about the employment status
of FMC Corporation's corporate office employees. See Note 18.

The change in the discount rate used in determining domestic pension and
other postretirement benefit obligations from 6.75% to 7.50% decreased the
projected benefit obligations by $33.5 million at December 31, 1999.

The change in the rate of compensation increase used in determining
domestic pension plan obligations from 5.0% to 4.25% decreased the projected
benefit obligation by $7.8 million at December 31, 2000.

For measurement purposes, a 6.0% annual rate of increase in the per
capita cost of health care benefits was assumed for 1999 and 2000. The rate was
assumed to decrease to 5.0% for 2001 and remain at that level thereafter.

Assumed health care cost trend rates have an effect on the amounts
reported for the health care plan. A one percentage point change in the assumed
health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for
Pensions," for its pension plan for employees in the United Kingdom and for one
pension plan in Germany. The financial impact of compliance with SFAS No. 87
for other non-U.S. pension plans is not materially different from the locally
reported pension expense. The cost of providing pension benefits for foreign
employees was $3.0 million in 1998, $3.7 million in 1999 and $3.4 million in
2000.

To effect a separation of the pension plan in the United Kingdom, FMC
Technologies was allocated the assets and liabilities associated with inactive
participants of FMC Corporation's divested process additives division effective
December 31, 2000. FMC Technologies will also assume any net annual benefit
cost or

income associated with these participants beginning in 2001. The addition of
this participant group increased the pension's projected benefit obligation by
$32.3 million, the pension plan's assets by $33.6 million and the pension's
prepaid benefit cost by $5.8 million at December 31, 2000.

The Company has recognized expense of $7.6 million, $7.5 million and $7.5
million in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively, for FMC Technologies' share of
matching contributions to the FMC Corporation Savings and Investment Plan, a
qualified domestic salary-reduction plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code.

NOTE 11. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company did not grant stock-based compensation or maintain its own
incentive compensation programs during the three years ended December 31, 2000.
However, certain employees of the Company participate or have participated in
FMC Corporation's Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan, as amended and
restated effective as of February 16, 2001 (the "Stock Plan"), which provides
incentives and awards to key employees of FMC Corporation. The Stock Plan is
administered by a committee of the Board of Directors of FMC Corporation, which
reviews and approves financial targets as well as the time and conditions for
payment.

The Stock Plan provides for the grant of incentive awards payable partly
in cash and partly in FMC Corporation common stock. The Company was allocated
expense of $3.8 million, $6.8 million and $5.7 million during the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively, for the Stock Plan. This
expense represented the cost of FMC Corporation restricted stock and bonuses
granted to employees and directors of the Company and to certain employees of
FMC Corporation who provided services to the Company. The Stock Plan also
provides for regular grants of FMC Corporation stock options. The exercise
price for options is not less than the fair market value of the stock at the
date of grant. The contractual life of each option is generally ten years and
substantially all options vest in three to four years. FMC Corporation accounts
for stock options under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for stock options under the Stock Plan and therefore, no
compensation cost has been allocated to the Company.

See Note 18 for a description of changes to the Company's incentive
compensation arrangements relating to the offering and distribution.

NOTE 12. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Under agreements governing the separation of the Company from FMC
Corporation, the Company has assumed specified self-insured product liabilities
associated with equipment manufactured by specified discontinued machinery
businesses of FMC Corporation. These businesses primarily consisted of the
construction equipment, power control, beverage equipment and marine and rail
divisions, which were divested prior to 1985. From time to time, personal
injury and other product-related claims have been made against FMC Corporation
related to cranes and other equipment formerly manufactured and sold by the
discontinued businesses. Reserves related to these reported claims as well as
incurred but not reported claims amounted to $33.8 million at December 31, 1999
and $30.6 million at December 31, 2000. Such reserves are recorded based on
annual actuarially-determined estimates of liabilities, which include factors
for estimating the ultimate future payout on reported and potential unreported
claims, as well as the cost of legal fees, claims administration and stop-loss
insurance coverage. The Company evaluates its estimate of these self-insured
liabilities on a regular basis, and makes adjustments to the recorded liability
balance to reflect current information regarding the estimated amount of future
payments to be made on both reported and incurred but unreported claims. On an
annual basis, the Company engages an actuary to estimate the liability for
these claims. The actuarial estimate of the self-insured liability is
determined based upon the number of pieces of equipment in use and the

F-19

FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

expected loss rate per unit, and considers such factors as historical claim and
settlement experience by year, recent trends in the number of claims and the
cost of settlements, and available stop-loss insurance coverage. Actual
settlements of self-insured product liabilities may be more or less than the
liability estimated by the Company.

The Company maintains insurance coverage limiting its exposure to any
individual self-insured product liability claim to $2.75 million. At December
31, 2000, the Company had 18 known open claims related to cranes, only one of
which was valued at an amount exceeding $500,000 and 27 claims primarily
related to the power control, beverage equipment and marine and rail divisions,
two of which exceeded $500,000. During 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively, FMC
Technologies spent $1.8 million, $5.9 million and $2.7 million toward
settlement of liabilities related to crane cases and $1.1 million, $1.5 million
and $0.5 million toward settlement of liabilities related to other discontinued
product lines.

The following table presents case activity related to our discontinued
liabilities for the two years ended December 31, 2000:

December 31, 1998 cases pending...................................... 55
1999 notice of new cases filed...................................... 14
1999 cases closed................................................... (22)

2000 notice of new cases filed...................................... 30
2000 cases closed................................................... (32)
---
December 31, 2000 cases pending...................................... 45
===

Additionally, in 1998, 1999 and 2000, the average settlement per claim
was approximately $277,000, approximately $78,000 and approximately $93,000,
respectively.

The following table presents accruals, payments towards settlements and
remaining discontinued reserves for claims related to cranes and other claims
for the two years ended December 31, 2000:

===== ===== =====

In the fourth quarter of 1999, FMC Technologies provided $9.0 million
($5.5 million after tax) to increase its recorded liabilities based on revised
actuarial estimates of the ultimate cost of product liability claims related to
the construction equipment business, for which claim payments had increased
substantially in 1999.

The Company's obligation related to the settlement of the three claims
each exceeding $500,000 amounted to $2.3 million. While the Company believes
its existing reserves are adequate and are based on the

F-20

FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

most current estimate of potential loss, and also believes that product
liability claims will decrease over time as the products are retired, it is
possible that the ultimate outcome of all discontinued operations' liabilities
could differ materially from the recorded reserve. However, management is
unable to estimate or predict a range or an amount by which the ultimate claim
payments might differ from recorded amounts.

NOTE 13. FOREIGN CURRENCY

The Norwegian krone and Swedish krona were relatively stable against the
U.S. dollar in 1998 while the Mexican peso weakened and certain Asian
currencies experienced significant intra-year volatility. Additionally in 1998,
the Japanese yen reversed its previous trend and strengthened. Exposures in
1999 were affected primarily by the weakening of the Norwegian krone and
Swedish krona as well as the stronger Japanese yen. In 2000, foreign currency
transactional exposures were most affected by the weakening of the British
pound, Norwegian krone and Swedish krona against the U.S. dollar. The Company
mitigates its transactional exposure to variability in currency exchange rates
by entering into foreign exchange forward and option contracts with third
parties.

During 2000, the Company's earnings were negatively affected by
approximately $6 million before tax due to the impact of weaker European
currencies (particularly the euro, Norwegian krone and Swedish krona) on the
Company's foreign currency-denominated sales, which was partly offset by the
benefit of paying certain local operating costs in the same European
currencies.

Net income for 1998, 1999 and 2000 included aggregate foreign currency
gains (losses) of $(2.5) million, $3.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

The following table presents the foreign currency adjustments to key
balance sheet categories and the offsetting adjustments to accumulated other
comprehensive loss or to income for the years ended December 31:

NOTE 14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative financial instruments--At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 1999
and 2000, derivative financial instruments consisted primarily of foreign
exchange forward contracts. The Company uses derivative instruments, primarily
foreign exchange forward contracts, to manage certain of its foreign exchange
rate risks. Company policy allows for the use of derivative financial
instruments only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does
not enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes where the objective
is to generate profits.

F-21

FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

With respect to foreign exchange rate risk, the Company's objective is to
limit potential losses in local currency-based earnings or cash flows from
adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements. The Company's foreign
currency exposures arise from transactions denominated in a currency other than
an entity's functional currency, primarily anticipated purchases of raw
materials or services and sales of finished product, and the settlement of
receivables and payables. The primary currencies to which the Company and its
affiliates are exposed include the euro, British pound, Japanese yen, Norwegian
krone, Swedish krona, Singapore dollar and U.S. dollar.

Hedge ineffectiveness and the portion of derivative gains or losses
excluded from assessments of hedge effectiveness, related to the Company's
outstanding cash flow hedges and which were recorded to earnings during the
quarter ended March 31, 2001, were less than $0.1 million. At March 31, 2001,
the net deferred hedging loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $2.6
million, approximately $1.7 million of which is expected to be recognized in
earnings during the twelve months ended March 31, 2002, at the time the
underlying hedged transactions are realized, and the remainder of which is
expected to be recognized at various times through November 30, 2009.

During 1998, the Company entered into forward contracts with a notional
value of $33.0 million to offset various risks associated with the potential
devaluation of the Brazilian real. The contracts matured in 1999, subsequent to
the devaluation of the Brazilian real. Losses from the decline in value of the
Company's real-denominated investments during the 1999 devaluation, as well as
1999 economic losses related to the Brazilian economic crisis, were offset by
gains on the forward contracts.

As of December 31, 1999 and 2000, the Company held foreign exchange
forward contracts with notional amounts of $388.7 million and $417.8 million,
respectively, in which foreign currencies (primarily Norwegian krone, Singapore
dollars and British pounds in 1999 and 2000) were purchased, and approximately
$254.2 million and $335.7 million, respectively, in which foreign currencies
(primarily Singapore dollars, British pounds, euros and Norwegian krone in 1999
and Norwegian krone, Swedish krona, Singapore dollars and British pounds in
2000) were sold. Notional amounts are used to measure the volume of derivative
financial instruments and do not represent potential gains or losses on these
agreements.

Fair value disclosures--The carrying amounts of cash and cash
equivalents, trade receivables, other current assets, accounts payable, amounts
included in investments and accruals meeting the definition of financial
instruments and short-term debt approximate fair value.

Fair values relating to foreign exchange contracts were $(5.6) million
and $(18.7) million at December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively, and reflect
the estimated net amounts that the Company would pay to terminate the contracts
at the reporting date based on quoted market prices of comparable contracts at
those dates. The carrying values of foreign exchange contracts were $(1.7)
million and $5.0 million at December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees--In the ordinary
course of business with customers, vendors and others, the Company is
contingently liable for performance under letters of credit and other financial
guarantees totaling approximately $90 million at December 31, 2000. The
Company's management does not believe it is practicable to estimate the fair
values of these financial instruments and does not expect any losses from their
resolution.

Segment assets and liabilities

Segment assets and liabilities are those assets and liabilities that are
recorded and reported by segment operations. Segment operating capital employed
represents segment assets less segment liabilities. Segment assets exclude
corporate items, which are principally cash equivalents, LIFO reserves,
deferred income tax benefits, eliminations of intercompany receivables,
property, plant and equipment not attributable to a specific segment, and
credits relating to the sale of receivables. Segment liabilities exclude
substantially all debt, income taxes, pension and other postretirement benefit
liabilities, restructuring reserves, intercompany eliminations, reserves for
discontinued operations and deferred gains on the sale and leaseback of
equipment.

NOTE 17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

FMC Technologies leases office space, plants and facilities and various
types of manufacturing, data processing and transportation equipment. Leases of
real estate generally provide for payment of property taxes, insurance and
repairs by FMC Technologies. Capital leases are not significant. Rent expense
under operating leases amounted to $22.8 million, $24.5 million and $29.3
million in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

Minimum future rental payments under noncancelable leases aggregated
approximately $125.6 million as of December 31, 2000 and are payable as
follows: $23.3 million in 2001, $22.8 million in 2002, $21.3 million in 2003,
$20.1 million in 2004, $11.4 million in 2005 and $26.7 million thereafter.

The Company also has certain other contingent liabilities arising from
litigation, claims, performance guarantees, and other commitments incident to
the ordinary course of business. The Company's management believes that the
ultimate resolution of its known contingencies will not materially affect the
combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows of FMC
Technologies.

NOTE 18. PROPOSED PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK (UNAUDITED)

The Offering

The Board of Directors of FMC Corporation and the Company's Board of
Directors have authorized management of the Company to file a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the offering. Under
the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated June 5,
2001, 195,000,000 shares of FMC Technologies common stock and 12,000,000 shares
of FMC Technologies preferred stock were authorized. There are currently
53,950,000 shares of FMC Technologies common stock issued and outstanding.

FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

On May 31, 2001, FMC Corporation contributed substantially all of its
ownership interests in the businesses included in these combined financial
statements to the Company with the remainder to be transferred shortly after
that date. These financial statements reflect the combined results of the
businesses as if they had been so contributed to the Company for all periods.
Subsequent to the contribution, all of the businesses included in these
combined financial statements will be consolidated subsidiaries or divisions of
the Company or will be investments of the Company or its subsidiaries.

The Distribution

FMC Corporation has advised the Company that it currently intends to
distribute its remaining ownership interest in the Company to common
stockholders of FMC Corporation. If completed, the distribution, as previously
announced, is expected to take the form of a spin-off in which FMC Corporation
distributes all of the Company's common stock that it owns through a special
dividend to FMC Corporation common stockholders. If circumstances change, FMC
Corporation may distribute its remaining ownership interest in the Company
through an exchange offer by FMC Corporation, in which its common stockholders
would be offered the option of tendering some or all of their shares in
exchange for FMC Technologies common stock, and a subsequent spin-off of FMC
Corporation's remaining ownership interest in the Company. FMC Corporation has
advised the Company that it does not intend to complete the distribution unless
it receives a favorable tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to the
tax-free nature of the distribution for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and
the final approval of the Board of Directors of FMC Corporation, among other
conditions. FMC Corporation has also advised the Company that it currently
anticipates that this distribution will occur by the end of calendar year 2001.

FMC Corporation has advised the Company that the final determination as
to the completion, timing, structure and terms of the distribution will be
based on financial and business considerations and prevailing market
conditions. In addition, FMC Corporation has advised the Company that, as
permitted by the separation and distribution agreement between FMC Corporation
and the Company described below, it will not complete the distribution if its
Board of Directors determines that the distribution is not in the best
interests of FMC Corporation and its stockholders. FMC Corporation has the sole
discretion to determine whether or not to complete the distribution and, if it
decides to complete the distribution, to determine the timing, structure and
terms of the distribution.

Financing Arrangements

FMC Technologies anticipates that its debt after giving effect to the
offering will be approximately $305.1 million, or $274.1 million if the
underwriters' overallotment option is fully exercised and the net proceeds
thereof are all applied to repay indebtedness. In addition, pursuant to the
separation and distribution agreement between FMC Technologies and FMC
Corporation, this amount will be decreased to reflect net cash generated or
increased to reflect net cash utilized by FMC Technologies' operations after
March 31, 2001 and through May 31, 2001. FMC Technologies' debt facilities
consist of a $150 million 364-day revolving credit facility and a $250 million
five-year credit agreement.

Employee Benefit Plans

Effective May 1, 2001, FMC Technologies established its own qualified and
non-qualified U.S. defined benefit pension plans, and effective immediately
after the distribution, FMC Technologies will establish any additional pension
and employee benefit plans. The material terms of FMC Technologies' pension and
employee benefit plans generally mirror or will mirror FMC Corporation's plans
as in effect at the time they were or are established. The employee benefits
agreement between the Company and FMC Corporation does not preclude FMC
Technologies from discontinuing or changing its plans at any time, so long as
it notifies

F-27

FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

FMC Corporation and agrees to absorb any cost associated with such change.
Employees of FMC Technologies will begin participating in FMC Technologies' new
plans as of the later of the date of the establishment of each plan or the date
on which they become employees of FMC Technologies.

FMC Technologies' plans have assumed or will assume all obligations under
FMC Corporation's plans to employees and former employees allocated to FMC
Technologies. Specified assets funding these obligations, including assets held
in trusts, have been or will be transferred from trusts and other funding
vehicles associated with FMC Corporation's plans to the corresponding trusts
and other funding vehicles associated with FMC Technologies' plans as soon as
practicable. FMC Technologies' plans generally provide or will provide that any
employee or former employee allocated to it will receive full recognition and
credit under these plans for all service, all compensation, and all other
benefit-affecting determinations that would have been recognized under the
corresponding FMC Corporation plan. However, there will be no duplication of
benefits payable by FMC Corporation or its plans.

Effective as of May 1, 2001, FMC Technologies adopted the FMC
Technologies, Inc. Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan (the "FMC Technologies
Stock Plan"). The Company's employees, consultants and directors and employees,
consultants and directors of its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in
the FMC Technologies Stock Plan. At the time of the offering, the Company
expects to grant options to purchase shares of FMC Technologies common stock
under the FMC Technologies Stock Plan at an exercise price equal to the
offering price per share in the offering.

In addition, in connection with the offering, FMC Technologies intends to
replace all FMC Corporation restricted stock granted to the Company's employees
and to the Chairman of its Board of Directors with grants of the Company's
restricted stock that will be made under to the FMC Technologies Stock Plan.
The historical combined financial statements reflect an allocation of expense
related to FMC Corporation's existing restricted stock program. To the extent
that the Company replaces any FMC Corporation restricted stock with FMC
Technologies restricted stock prior to the distribution, the Company will incur
incremental compensation expense. Approximately $7.4 million of incremental
expense will be recorded over the vesting period related to such restricted
stock. Based on the number of shares of FMC Corporation restricted stock
granted to the Company's employees and to the Chairman of its Board of
Directors as of June 13, 2001, the offering price per share of FMC Technologies
common stock in the offering of $20.00 and a closing price per share of FMC
Corporation common stock as of June 13, 2001 of $76.48, 1,217,263 shares of FMC
Technologies restricted stock will be granted.

FMC Technologies intends to replace all of the FMC Corporation options
held by the Company's employees and non-employee directors, other than
directors who will remain directors of FMC Corporation after the distribution.
The Company intends to replace a portion of the FMC Corporation options and
restricted stock granted to the Company's non-employee directors who will
continue to serve as directors of FMC Corporation as of the date of the
distribution, other than the Chairman of its Board of Directors, with options
to purchase shares of the Company common stock and grants of restricted stock
of the Company that will be made under the FMC Technologies Stock Plan. The
Company intends to replace all outstanding options and restricted stock of FMC
Corporation granted to FMC Corporation employees whom the Company hires on or
after the distribution date. Based on the number of shares of FMC Corporation
restricted stock granted to the Company's directors and the number of FMC
Corporation options held by employees and directors of the Company on June 13,
2001, and assumed closing prices per share of $76.48 for FMC Corporation and
$20.00 for FMC Technologies common stock on the date of distribution, 15,155
shares of FMC Technologies restricted stock and 3,459,343 FMC Technologies
options would be granted. We are unable to estimate the number of shares or
options that may be granted with respect to FMC Corporation employees who will
be hired by FMC Technologies as of the distribution date or thereafter.

Arrangements Between FMC Technologies and FMC Corporation

The separation and distribution agreement contains the key provisions
relating to the separation of FMC Technologies' businesses from those of FMC
Corporation, the offering and FMC Corporation's planned distribution of FMC
Technologies common stock. The separation and distribution agreement identifies
the assets transferred to FMC Technologies by FMC Corporation and the
liabilities assumed by FMC Technologies from FMC Corporation. The separation
and distribution agreement also describes when and how these transfers and
assumptions occur. In addition, FMC Technologies has entered into additional
agreements with FMC Corporation governing various interim and ongoing
relationships between FMC Corporation and FMC Technologies. These other
agreements include: a tax sharing agreement; an employee benefits agreement and
a transition services agreement.

Pro Forma Earnings Per Common Share

Unaudited pro forma as adjusted basic earnings per common share from
continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the three months
ended March 31, 2001 have been calculated by dividing unaudited pro forma as
adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations by the weighted average
shares outstanding as calculated in accordance with Securities and Exchange
Commission rules for initial public offerings. Such rules require that the
weighted average share calculation give retroactive effect to any changes in
the capital structure of the Company as well as the number of shares whose
proceeds will be used to pay any dividend or repay any debt as reflected in the
pro forma adjustments. Therefore, pro forma weighted average shares of the
Company for the year ended December 31, 2000, and the three months ended March
31, 2001 are comprised of 53,950,000 shares of common stock outstanding prior
to the offering and 11,050,000 shares of common stock included in the offering,
assuming all such shares are outstanding as of the beginning of the period.

Unaudited pro forma as adjusted diluted earnings per common share from
continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 is computed using
unaudited pro forma as adjusted income from continuing operations divided by
66,042,432, which for pro forma diluted earnings per share purposes is the
assumed number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding after this
offering. This share amount is calculated assuming that (a) prior to the
offering 53,950,000 common shares are outstanding, (b) 11,050,000 shares are
sold in the offering and (c) the pro forma dilutive effect of the Company's
restricted stock to be granted to the Company's employees and the Chairman of
its Board of Directors in replacement of FMC Corporation restricted stock is
1,042,432, calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of FMC
Corporation restricted stock eligible for conversion in 2000 and using FMC
Corporation's average 2000 stock price and the Company's offering price of
$20.00 per share. Due to the Company's net loss for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, the inclusion of the effect of restricted stock described in
(c) above would be antidilutive; therefore, the same denominator has been used
for both the basic and diluted computations for the three months ended March
31, 2001.
