The Boeing Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions)

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this report have been prepared by management of The Boeing Company (herein referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Note 2 – Standards Issued and Not Yet Implemented

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits us to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value (the “Fair Value Option”). Election of the Fair Value Option is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities for which the Fair Value Option has been elected would be reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. If we elect the Fair Value Option for certain financial assets and liabilities, we will report unrealized gains and losses due to changes in their fair value in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Earnings Per Share

The weighted average number of shares outstanding (in millions) used to compute earnings per share is as follows:

 

      Six months ended
June 30
   Three months ended
June 30
              2007            2006            2007            2006

Weighted average shares outstanding

   756.1    760.9    755.2    761.3

Participating securities

   8.3    10.9    8.3   
 

Basic weighted average shares outstanding

   764.4    771.8    763.5    761.3

Dilutive potential common shares

   12.9    20.6    13.5   
 

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding

   777.3    792.4    777.0    761.3
 

As a result of incurring a net loss for three months ended June 30, 2006, participating securities of 11.6 million and potential common shares of 19.3 million were excluded from diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Total numerator

   $ 1,929    $ 543    $ 1,052    $ (160 )
   

Basic earnings per share is calculated by the sum of (1) net income less declared dividends divided by the basic weighted average shares outstanding and (2) declared dividends divided by the weighted average shares outstanding.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding (in millions), included in the table below, is excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the average market price did not exceed the exercise/threshold price. However, these shares may be dilutive potential common shares in the future.

Note 4 – Income Taxes

The effective tax rates were 34.6% and 45.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The decrease in the effective tax rate as compared with the prior year was primarily due to the global settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice in the second quarter of 2006, which was not deducted for tax purposes and research and development credits that existed in 2007 but not in 2006. This was partially offset by Foreign Sales Corporation (FSC) and Extraterritorial Income (ETI) exclusion tax benefits that existed in 2006 but did not recur in 2007 and other income tax provision adjustments.

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. The cumulative effects of applying this interpretation have been recorded as a decrease of $11 to Retained earnings, an increase of $125 to net deferred income tax assets and an increase of $136 to income taxes payable as of January 1, 2007.

In conjunction with adoption of FIN 48, we classified uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities unless expected to be paid in one year. We also began reporting income tax-related interest income in Income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In prior periods, such interest income was reported in Other income. Penalties and tax-related interest expense are reported as a component of Income tax expense. As of June 30 and January 1, 2007, the

Table of Contents

total amount of accrued income tax-related interest and penalties included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was $98 and $64.

As of June 30 and January 1, 2007, we were subject to examination in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction for the 1998-2006 tax years. We were also subject to examination in various state and foreign jurisdictions for the 2001-2006 tax years, none of which were individually material. We are in the final stages of IRS examination for the 2002 and 2003 tax years, and have filed appeals with the IRS for 1998 – 2001. We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

As of June 30 and January 1, 2007, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $1,168 and $1,088, of which $937 and $905 would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized. If tax matters for 1998-2006 settle with the IRS within the next 12 months, the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease for all open tax years. Settlement could increase earnings in an amount up to $130 based on current estimates. Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we made pension contributions of $523 and $500. Additional pension contributions are possible in 2007. We expect to contribute approximately $17 to our other postretirement benefit plans in 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we made contributions to our other postretirement benefit plans of $7 and $11.

Effective December 31, 2008, SFAS No. 158 will require us to measure plan assets and benefit obligations at December 31. We currently perform this measurement at September 30 of each year. In addition, beginning in fourth quarter of 2007, this Standard will require us to eliminate the use of a three-month lag period when recognizing the impact of curtailments or settlements and instead, recognize these amounts in the period in which they occur.

N ote 7 – Share-Based Compensation and Other Compensation Arrangements

Performance Shares

A total of 4,828,847 Performance Shares with a total market value of $469 were converted or deferred during the six months ended June 30, 2007. A total of 1,410,465 Performance Shares expired related to the 2002 grant during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Stock options

On February 26, 2007, we granted to our executives 5,334,700 options with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant. The stock options vest over a period of three years, with 34% vesting after the first year, 33% vesting after the second year and the remaining 33% vesting after the third year. The options expire 10 years after the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

   6 years    28.4%    1.7%    4.62%    $ 27.31

Performance Awards

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we also granted Performance Awards to our executives that payout based on the achievement of financial goals for the three-year period ending December 31, 2009. The minimum amount is zero and the maximum amount we could be required to payout for the 2007 Performance Awards is $282.

N ote 8 – Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

We enter into arrangements with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business, as discussed below. These arrangements are primarily in the form of guarantees and product warranties.

Third-party guarantees

The following tables provide quantitative data regarding our third-party guarantees. The maximum potential payments represent a “worst-case scenario,” and do not necessarily reflect our expected results. Estimated proceeds from collateral and recourse represent the anticipated values of assets we could liquidate or receive from other parties to offset our payments under guarantees. The carrying amount of liabilities recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position reflects our best estimate of future payments we may incur as part of fulfilling our guarantee obligations.

Contingent repurchase commitments We have entered into contingent repurchase commitments with certain customers in conjunction with signing a definitive agreement for the sale of new aircraft (Sale Aircraft). Under these commitments, we agreed to repurchase the Sale Aircraft at a specified price, generally ten years after delivery of the Sale Aircraft. Our repurchase of the Sale Aircraft is contingent upon a future, mutually acceptable agreement for the sale of additional new aircraft.

Indemnifications to ULA In December 2006, we agreed to indemnify ULA against potential losses that ULA may incur from certain contracts contributed by us. In the event ULA is unable to obtain certain additional contract pricing to which we believe ULA is entitled, we will be responsible for any shortfall and may record up to $322 in pre-tax losses. The term of the indemnification is tied to the resolution of this matter with the customer.

In December 2006, we agreed to indemnify ULA in the event that $1,375 of Delta launch program inventories included in contributed assets and $1,860 of Delta program inventories subject to an inventory supply agreement are not recoverable from existing and future orders. The term of the inventory indemnification extends to December 31, 2020. Since inception, ULA sold $128 of inventories that were contributed by us. Although we believe that inventories will be recoverable based on our assessment of the mission manifest, losses could occur if the manifest is reduced and the inventories are not recovered by ULA.

ULA’s launch offerings include the Delta II, Delta IV and Atlas V vehicles. As part of its integration ULA is assessing its portfolio of launch offerings, which may impact future launch offerings, including the Delta II program. There is approximately $190 of Delta II inventory that is not related to firm orders. Decisions regarding these matters could reduce future earnings.

Residual value guarantees We have issued various residual value guarantees principally to facilitate the sale of certain commercial aircraft. Under these guarantees, we are obligated to make payments to the guaranteed party if the related aircraft or equipment fair values fall below a specified amount at a future time. These obligations are collateralized principally by commercial aircraft and expire within 6 to 11 years.

Credit guarantees related to the Sea Launch venture We issued credit guarantees to creditors of the Sea Launch venture, of which we are a 40% partner, to assist the venture in obtaining financing. Under these credit guarantees, we are obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party in the event that Sea Launch does not make its loan payments. We have substantive guarantees from the other venture partners, who are obligated to reimburse us for their share (in proportion to their Sea Launch ownership percentages) of any guarantee payment we may make related to the Sea Launch obligations. These guarantees expire within the next 8 years.

Table of Contents

Other credit guarantees We have issued credit guarantees, principally to facilitate the sale of commercial aircraft. Under these arrangements, we are obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party in the event that lease or loan payments are not made by the original lessee or debtor. A substantial portion of these guarantees has been extended on behalf of original lessees or debtors with less than investment-grade credit. Our commercial aircraft credit-related guarantees are collateralized by the underlying commercial aircraft. Current outstanding credit guarantees expire within the next 8 years.

Performance guarantees We have outstanding performance guarantees issued in conjunction with joint venture investments. Pursuant to these guarantees we would be required to make payments in the event a third-party fails to perform specified services. We have guarantees from the other venture partners who are obligated to reimburse us for a portion of any guarantee payments we may make related to the performance guarantee. Current performance guarantees expire within the next 10 years.

Other indemnifications In conjunction with our sales of the Electron Dynamic Devices, Inc. and Rocketdyne Propulsion and Power businesses and the sale of our Commercial Airplanes facilities in Wichita, Kansas and Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma in 2005, we provided indemnifications to the buyers relating to pre-closing environmental contamination and certain other items. The terms of the indemnifications are indefinite. As it is impossible to assess whether there will be damages in the future or the amounts thereof, we cannot estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these guarantees. Therefore, no liability has been recorded.

N ote 9 – Legal Proceedings

Various legal proceedings, claims and investigations related to products, contracts and other matters are pending against us. Many potentially significant legal proceedings are related to matters covered by our insurance. Potential material contingencies are discussed below.

We are subject to various U.S. government investigations, from which civil, criminal or administrative proceedings could result or have resulted. Such proceedings involve, or could involve claims by the government for fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages, restitution and/or forfeitures. Under government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or subdivisions, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts, or lose its export privileges, based on the results of investigations. We believe, based upon current information, that the outcome of any such government disputes and investigations will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, except as set forth below.

A-12 litigation

In 1991, the U.S. Navy notified McDonnell Douglas Corporation (now one of our subsidiaries) and General Dynamics Corporation (together, the Team) that it was terminating for default the Team’s contract for development and initial production of the A-12 aircraft. The Team filed a legal action to contest the Navy’s default termination, to assert its rights to convert the termination to one for “the convenience of the government,” and to obtain payment for work done and costs incurred on the A-12 contract but not paid to date. As of June 30, 2007, inventories included approximately $584 of recorded costs on the A-12 contract, against which we have established a loss provision of $350. The amount of the provision, which was established in 1990, was based on McDonnell Douglas Corporation’s belief, supported by an opinion of outside counsel, that the termination for default would be converted to a termination for convenience, and that the best estimate of possible loss on termination for convenience was $350.

On August 31, 2001, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims issued a decision after trial upholding the government’s default termination of the A-12 contract. The court did not, however, enter a money judgment for the U.S. government on its claim for unliquidated progress payments. In 2003, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, finding that the trial court had applied the wrong legal standard, vacated the trial court’s 2001 decision and ordered the case sent back to that court for further proceedings. On May 3, 2007, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims issued a decision upholding the government’s default termination of the A-12 contract. We believe that the ruling raises serious issues for appeal, and on May 4, 2007 we filed a Notice of Appeal with the Court. This follows an earlier trial court decision in favor of the Team and reversal of that initial decision on appeal.

If, after all judicial proceedings have ended, the courts determine, contrary to our belief, that a termination for default was appropriate, we would incur an additional loss of approximately $275, consisting principally of remaining inventory costs and adjustments, and, if the courts further hold that a money judgment should be entered against the Team, we would be required to pay the U.S. government one-half of the unliquidated progress payments of $1,350 plus statutory interest from February 1991 (currently totaling approximately $1,310). In that event, our loss would total approximately $1,602 in pre-tax charges. Should, however, the March 31, 1998 judgment of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in favor of the Team be reinstated, we would be entitled to receive payment of approximately $1,071, including interest.

We believe that the termination for default is contrary to law and fact and that the loss provision established by McDonnell Douglas Corporation in 1990, which was supported by an opinion from outside counsel, continues to provide adequately for the reasonably possible reduction in value of A-12 net contracts in process as of June 30, 2007.

Final resolution of the A-12 litigation will depend on the outcome of further proceedings or possible negotiations with the U.S. government.

Employment and benefits litigation

We are a defendant in two employment discrimination class actions. In the Williams class action, which was filed on June 8, 1998 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington (alleging race discrimination), we prevailed in a jury trial in December 2005, but plaintiffs appealed the pre-trial dismissal of compensation claims in November 2005. In the Calender class action, which was filed January 25, 2005 in the U.S. Northern District of Illinois (a spin-off from Williams alleging race discrimination), plaintiffs dropped their promotions claim on June 6, 2006, and put their compensation claims on hold pending the outcome of the Williams appeal.

In addition, on March 2, 2006, we were served with a complaint filed in the U. S. District Court for the District of Kansas, alleging that hiring decisions made by Spirit Aerospace near the time of Boeing’s

Table of Contents

sale of the Wichita facility were tainted by age discrimination. The case is brought as a class action on behalf of individuals not hired by Spirit. Pursuant to an indemnity provision in the Asset Purchase Agreement, Spirit has agreed to defend and indemnify us.

On June 23, 2006, two employees and two former employees of Boeing filed a purported class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois against Boeing, McDonnell Douglas Corporation and the Pension Value Plan for Employees of The Boeing Company (the “Plan”) on behalf of themselves and similarly situated participants in the Plan. The plaintiffs allege that as of January 1, 1999 and all times thereafter, the Plan’s benefit formula used to compute the accrued benefit violates the accrual rules of Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and that plaintiffs are entitled to a recalculation of their benefits along with other equitable relief. On March 13, 2007, the court granted Boeing’s motion and dismissed the suit with prejudice. Plaintiffs have filed a motion to vacate the judgment which Boeing has opposed.

On September 13, 2006, two UAW Local 1069 retirees filed a class action lawsuit in the Middle District of Tennessee alleging that recently announced changes to medical plans for retirees of UAW Local 1069 constituted a breach of collective bargaining agreements under §301 of the Labor-Management Relations Act and §502(a)(1)(B) of ERISA. On September 15, 2006, Boeing filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Illinois against the International UAW and two retiree medical plan participants seeking a declaratory judgment confirming that the Company has the legal right to make changes to these medical benefits. On June 4, 2007, the Middle District of Tennessee ordered that its case be transferred to the Northern District of Illinois. It is not possible at this time to determine whether an adverse outcome would have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

On October 13, 2006, we were named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. Plaintiffs, seeking to represent a class of similarly situated participants and beneficiaries in the Boeing Company Voluntary Investment Plan (the “Plan”), alleged that fees and expenses incurred by the Plan were and are unreasonable and excessive, not incurred solely for the benefit of the Plan and its participants, and were undisclosed to participants. The plaintiffs further alleged that defendants breached their fiduciary duties in violation of §502(a)(2) of ERISA, and sought injunctive and equitable relief pursuant to §502(a)(3) of ERISA. Plaintiffs have filed a motion to certify the class, which Boeing has opposed. It is not possible at this time to determine whether an adverse outcome would have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

BSSI/ICO litigation

On August 16, 2004, Boeing Satellite Systems International, Inc. (BSSI) filed a complaint for declaratory relief against ICO Global Communications (Operations), Ltd. (ICO) in Los Angeles County Superior Court. BSSI’s suit seeks a declaration that ICO’s prior termination of two contracts for convenience extinguished all claims between the parties. On September 16, 2004, ICO filed a cross-complaint alleging breach of contract, and other claims, and seeking recovery of all amounts paid to BSSI under the contracts, which are alleged to be approximately $2,000; ICO added Boeing to the suit as a defendant approximately one year later. On January 13, 2006, BSSI filed a cross-complaint against ICO, ICO Global Communications (Holdings) Limited (“ICO Holdings”), ICO’s parent, and Eagle River Investments, LLC, parent of both ICO and ICO Holdings, alleging fraud and other claims. On May 11, 2007, the matter was bifurcated for trial, with equitable issues (claims for declaratory relief, duress and unfair competition) set for court trial in November 2007 and legal issues (claims for breach of contract and fraud) set for jury trial in March 2008. We believe that ICO’s claims lack merit and intend to aggressively pursue our claims.

BSSI/Thuraya litigation

On September 10, 2004, a group of insurance underwriters for Thuraya Satellite Telecommunications (Thuraya) requested arbitration before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) against BSSI.

Table of Contents

The Request for Arbitration alleges that BSSI breached its contract with Thuraya for sale of a model 702 satellite that experienced power loss anomalies. The claimants seek approximately $199 (plus claims of interest, costs and fees) consisting of insurance payments made to Thuraya, and they further reserved the right to seek an additional $38 currently in dispute between Thuraya and some insurers. Thuraya has reserved its rights to seek uninsured losses that could increase the total amount disputed to $365. We believe these claims lack merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.

We have insurance coverage to respond to this arbitration request and have notified responsible insurers. On May 26, 2006, a group of these insurers filed a declaratory judgment action in the Circuit Court of Cook County asserting certain defenses to coverage and requesting a declaration of their obligation under Boeing’s insurance and reinsurance policies relating to the Thuraya ICC arbitration. We believe the insurers’ position lacks merit and the coverage action was stayed by court order on May 25, 2007, pending completion of the arbitration.

BSSI/Telesat Canada

On November 9, 2006, Telesat Canada (Telesat) and a group of its insurers served BSSI with an arbitration demand alleging breach of contract, gross negligence, and willful misconduct in connection with the constructive total loss of Anik F1, a model 702 satellite manufactured by BSSI. Telesat and its insurers seek over $385 in damages and $10 in lost profits. On December 1, 2006, we filed an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Ottawa, Canada, to enjoin the arbitration. We believe that the claims asserted by Telesat and its insurers lack merit, but we have notified our insurance carriers of the demand.

On April 26, 2007, a group of our insurers filed a declaratory judgment action in the Circuit Court of Cook County asserting certain defenses to coverage and requesting a declaration of their obligation under Boeing’s insurance and reinsurance policies relating to the threatened Telesat Anik F1 arbitration. We believe the insurers’ position lacks merit and intend to vigorously litigate the coverage issue if the Telesat arbitration goes forward.

BSSI/Superbird-6 litigation

On December 1, 2006, BSSI was served with an arbitration demand in subrogation brought by insurers for Space Communications Corporation alleging breach of warranty, breach of contract and gross negligence relating to the Superbird-6 communications satellite, which suffered a low perigee event shortly after launch in April 2004. The low orbit allegedly damaged the satellite, and a subsequent decision to de-orbit the satellite was made less than 12 months after launch. The model 601 satellite was manufactured by BSSI and delivered for launch by International Launch Services on an Atlas launch vehicle. The insurers seek to recover in excess of $240 from BSSI. We believe the insurers’ claims lack merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.

Note 10 – Other Commitments and Contingencies

Commercial aircraft commitments

In conjunction with signing a definitive agreement for the sale of new aircraft (Sale Aircraft), we entered into specified-price trade-in commitments with certain customers that give them the right to trade in their used aircraft for the purchase of Sale Aircraft. The total contractual trade-in value was $1,093 and $1,162 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Based on the best market information available at December 31, 2006, it was probable that we would be obligated to perform on trade-in commitments with net amounts payable to customers totaling $19. There were no probable contractual trade-in commitments as of June 30, 2007. Trade-in commitment agreements have expiration dates from 2008 through 2015.

Environmental matters and other contingencies

The costs incurred and expected to be incurred in connection with environmental remediation activities have not had, and are not expected to have, a material adverse effect on us. With respect to results of operations, related charges have averaged less than 1% of historical annual revenues. Although not considered probable or reasonably estimable at this time, it is reasonably possible that we may incur additional remediation charges because of regulatory complexities and the risk of unidentified contamination. Although not considered probable, should we incur remediation charges at the high level of the range of potential exposure, we anticipate that the additional charges would be less than 2% of historical annual revenues.

Included in other liabilities is $1,109 and $1,254 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 attributable to liabilities we have established for legal, environmental, and other contingencies we deem probable and estimable.

Discontinued operations and business shutdowns

As part of the 2004 purchase and sale agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation related to the sale of BCC’s Commercial Financial Services business, BCC is involved in a loss sharing arrangement for losses that may exist at the end of the initial and subsequent financing periods of transferred portfolio assets, or, in some instances, prior to the end of the financing term, such as certain events of default and repossession. As of June 30, 2007, our maximum exposure to loss associated with the loss sharing arrangement was $221. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the accrued liability under the loss sharing arrangement was $71 and $78.

During August 2006, we decided that we would exit the Connexion by Boeing high speed broadband communications business. We have not reached final settlements with all customers or suppliers. We do not believe the final settlements will have a material adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows and/or financial position.

Potential C-17 shut-down

As of June 30, 2007 we delivered 166 of the 190 C-17 aircraft ordered by the United States Air Force, with final deliveries scheduled for 2009. Due to the lack of additional U.S. government and international orders for the C-17, we announced in March 2007 that we stopped procurement for any new C-17 aircraft not under contract or firmly committed. However, in June 2007, based upon continued bipartisan congressional support, including the House Armed Services Committee addition of $2.4 billion for 10 C-17s in their mark of the 2008 budget, and U.S. Air Force testimony to Congress reflecting interest in additional C-17 aircraft, we directed key suppliers to begin work on 10 aircraft beyond the 190 currently on order. It is reasonably possible that we will decide in 2007 to complete production of the C-17 if further orders are not received. We are still evaluating the full financial impact of a potential production shut-down, including any recovery that would be available from the government. Such recovery from the government would not include the costs incurred by us resulting from the recent direction to key suppliers to begin working on the additional 10 aircraft.

Customer financing exposure and commitments

Aircraft financing is collateralized by security in the related asset. The value of the collateral is closely tied to commercial airline performance and may be subject to reduced valuation with market decline. Our financing portfolio has a concentration of various model aircraft. Aircraft financing carrying values related to major aircraft concentrations were as follows:

737 Aircraft ($509 and $550 accounted for as operating leases)

     544      583
 

* Out of production aircraft

Financing commitments totaled $10,065 and $10,164 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. We anticipate that a significant portion of these commitments will not be exercised by the customers as we continue to work with third party financiers to provide alternative financing to customers.

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, future lease commitments on aircraft and other commitments not recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position totaled $199 and $323. These lease commitments extend through 2020, and our intent is to recover these lease commitments through sublease arrangements. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Accounts payable and other liabilities included less than $1 and $65 attributable to adverse commitments under these lease arrangements.

Sea Launch

A Sea Launch Zenit-3SL vehicle, carrying a Boeing-built NSS-8 satellite, experienced an anomaly during launch on January 30, 2007. Sea Launch has insurance to cover repairs and vehicle flight and expects to return to flight in late 2007. We continue to look at alternative capital structures for the venture. We do not believe that this anomaly will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Satellites

The Boeing-built NSS-8 satellite was declared a total loss due to an anomaly during launch on January 30, 2007. The NSS-8 satellite was insured for $200. As of June 30, 2007, we have received insurance proceeds of $142. New Skies Satellites B.V. (New Skies) declined to exercise its option to purchase a replacement spacecraft due to its assertion that we anticipatorily breached the contract. We believe that had New Skies exercised its option, we would have fulfilled our contractual responsibilities. We do not expect the launch anomaly or New Skies’ assertion to materially impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Financing commitments

We and Lockheed Martin Corporation (Lockheed) have agreed to make available to ULA a line of credit in the amount of up to $200 each as may be necessary from time to time to support ULA’s business during the five year period following December 1, 2006. ULA did not request any funds under the line of credit as of June 30, 2007.

Table of Contents

We have entered into standby letters of credit agreements and surety bonds with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts. Contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit agreements and surety bonds aggregated approximately $4,622 and $4,368 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

The Boeing Company

Chicago, Illinois

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of The Boeing Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2007, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and of shareholders’ equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 15, 2007 (which includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s changes in accounting for pension and postretirement benefits and concessions received from vendors), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2006 and the condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the year then ended is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statements of financial position and shareholders’ equity from which they have been derived.

Revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 grew by $3,143 million and $2,042 million compared with the same periods in 2006, primarily due to the growth at Commercial Airplanes. Commercial Airplanes revenues increased by $2,096 million and $1,594 million, primarily due to higher new airplane deliveries and increased modification services and spares business. Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) revenues increased by $742 million and $207 million due to higher deliveries in Precision Engagement & Mobility Systems (PE&MS) and higher volume in Support Systems offset by reduced revenues resulting from the exclusion of military Delta volume, now a component of our equity investment in United Launch Alliance (ULA). Boeing Capital Corporation (BCC) revenues decreased, by $58 million and $34 million, primarily due to a decrease in the customer financing portfolio. Accounting differences/eliminations changed by $377 million and $274 million primarily due to fewer Commercial Airplanes intercompany deliveries when compared with the same periods in 2006.

Operating earnings for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 improved by $1,904 million and $1,554 million compared with the same periods in 2006. The increase is primarily due to the global settlement with U.S. Department of Justice and charges taken in the PE&MS segment that occurred in the second quarter of 2006. Commercial Airplanes earnings increased by $244 million and $241 million compared with the same periods in 2006, primarily due to higher sales from new airplane deliveries, aircraft modification services, spares sales, and improved cost performance offset by increased research and development expense. Commercial Airplanes’ research and development expense increased by $501 million to $1,557 million during the six months and $243 million to $769 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same periods in 2006, primarily due to spending on the 787 and 747-8 programs. IDS earnings increased by $512 million and $545 million primarily due to charges of $496 million in the PE&MS segment that were taken in the second quarter of 2006. BCC operating earnings increased $11 million and $8 million reflecting lower expenses and improvements in aircraft valuations, partially offset by lower revenues. Other segment earnings improved by $119 million and $60 million primarily due to the absence of losses related to our Connexion by Boeing business, which we exited during the third quarter of 2006. The most significant expense items not allocated to segments are shown in the table below.

We recorded net periodic benefit cost related to pensions of $551 million and $529 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Not all net periodic benefit cost is recognized in earnings in the period incurred because it is allocated to production as product costs and a portion remains in inventory at the end of the reporting period. Accordingly, earnings from operations included $503 million and $317 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. A portion of pension expense is recorded in the business segments and the remainder is included in unallocated pension expense.

Unallocated pension and other postretirement expense represents the difference between costs recognized under GAAP in the consolidated financial statements and federal cost accounting

standards required to be utilized by our business segments for U.S. government contracting purposes. Pension and postretirement expense increased during the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 when compared with the same periods of the prior year primarily due to increased overall pension costs recognized in inventory as of December 31, 2006, which are subsequently expensed in cost of sales in 2007.

The reduction in Share-based plans expense is primarily due to lower Performance Shares outstanding during the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 and higher expense acceleration during the six and three months ended June 30, 2006, resulting from ten payouts compared with five payouts in 2007. The year over year changes in deferred compensation expense are primarily driven by changes in our stock price. Other expense decreased partly due to reduced intercompany profit elimination as a result of fewer intercompany deliveries during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 when compared with the same periods of 2006.

Other income for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $24 million and $19 million compared with the same periods in 2006 as a result of increases in average principal balances and higher average rates of return on cash and investments. Interest and debt expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $44 million and $21 million compared with the same periods in 2006, primarily due to capitalization of interest and debt repayments.

Our effective tax rates were 34.6% and 45.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the global settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice in the second quarter of 2006, which was not deducted for tax purposes and research and development credits that existed in 2007 but not in 2006. This was partially offset by Foreign Sales Corporation (FSC) and Extraterritorial Income (ETI) exclusion tax benefits that existed in 2006, but did not recur in 2007, and other income tax provision adjustments.

Backlog

Contractual backlog of unfilled orders excludes purchase options, announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed, and unobligated U.S. and foreign government contract funding. The increase in contractual backlog during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to orders in excess of deliveries on Commercial Airplane programs.

Unobligated backlog includes U.S. and foreign government definitive contracts for which funding has not been authorized. The decrease in unobligated backlog during the six months ended June 30, 2007 is primarily due to funding released from existing contracts on Future Combat Systems (FCS), Proprietary, Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) and C-17 partially offset by an increase in our space flight operations contract.

Revenues

Revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $2,096 million and $1,594 million compared with the same periods of 2006. This increase in revenue was primarily attributable to higher sales of $1,112 million and $1,083 million from new airplane deliveries and increased modification services and spares business of $861 million and $445 million, partially generated by the acquisition of Aviall during the third quarter of 2006. The remaining increase in revenue of $123 million and $66 million was primarily from aircraft trading.

Commercial jet aircraft deliveries, including intercompany deliveries were as follows:

 

Program    717     737 NG    747    767    777    Total

Deliveries during the first six months of 2007

Earnings from Operations and Margins

Earnings from operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $244 million and $241 million while operating margins improved by 0.2 and 0.9 percentage points to 10.2% and 11.0% compared with the same periods of 2006. The increases were primarily due to earnings of $381 million and $328 million from sales related to new airplane deliveries and increased earnings of $246 million and $130 million from aircraft modification services and spares sales. In addition, $118 million and $26 million primarily from improved cost performance over all business units were offset by $501 million and $243 million of increased research and development expense.

Our research and development expense was $1,557 million and $769 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $501 million and $243 million compared with the same periods of 2006. This increase in research and development expense was primarily due to increased spending on the 787 and 747-8 programs and receiving no cost sharing payments from suppliers for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2006, supplier development cost sharing payments received were $101 million.

Backlog

The increase in contractual backlog during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with December 31, 2006 was primarily due to orders in excess of deliveries on all programs.

Firm orders represent new aircraft purchase agreements where the customers’ rights to cancel without penalty have expired. Cumulative firm orders represent the cumulative number of commercial jet aircraft deliveries plus undelivered firm orders.

737 Next-Generation The accounting quantity for the 737 Next-Generation (NG) program increased by 200 units during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and by 400 units for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This is due to the program’s normal progression of obtaining additional orders and delivering aircraft.

747 Program There was no change to the accounting quantity for the 747 program during the second quarter of 2007. In 2006 we completed firm configuration of the 747-8 freighter and the same is expected for the passenger version during 2007. There are inherent risks associated with the development and production of any airplane, which can impact expectations. Deliveries of the first 747-8 freighter and Intercontinental passenger airplane are targeted for late 2009 and late 2010.

Table of Contents

767 Program There was no change to the accounting quantity for the 767 program during the second quarter of 2007. The accounting quantity increased by nine units during the three months ended March 31, 2007, due to obtaining firm orders for 767-300 Extended Range Freighters.

777 Program The accounting quantity for the 777 program increased by 50 units during the three months ended June 30, 2007 due to the program’s normal progression of obtaining additional orders and delivering aircraft.

787 Program We continue to address and manage pressures with respect to weight, schedule and supplier implementation as we continue through the very critical final assembly and software and system integration phases. Rollout occurred in July, first flight is targeted to occur by the end of September and entry into service is scheduled for May 2008. We are investing additional research and development to support completion of the testing required to meet our delivery schedule. While the risks inherent in the latter stages of major airplane development programs remain, we continue to expect delivery of the 787 on schedule and in accordance with its contractual obligations.

Revenues

IDS revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $742 million and $207 million, an increase of 5% and 3% from the same periods in 2006 resulting from higher deliveries in the PE&MS segment and higher volume in the Support Systems segment.

Earnings from Operations

IDS operating earnings for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $512 million and $545 million and operating margins increased by 2.9% and 6.7% when compared with the same periods in 2006. Increases are primarily due to $496 million in additional charges in our PE&MS segment in the second quarter of 2006 resulting from technical and flight test issues on the Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) development program.

Table of Contents

Backlog

IDS’ total backlog was $70,463 million at June 30, 2007, down $5,252 million from $75,715 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to current year deliveries and sales on multi-year contracts awarded in prior years with the largest decreases in FCS, F/A-18, and C-17. The decreases were partially offset by an increase in our space flight operations contract.

For further details on the changes between periods, refer to the discussions of the individual segments below.

Additional Considerations

Our business includes a variety of development programs which have complex design and technical challenges. Many of these programs have cost-type contracting arrangements. In these cases the associated financial risks are primarily in lower profit rates or program cancellation if milestones and technical progress are not accomplished. Examples of these programs include Airborne Laser, E/A-18G, Family of Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals, FCS, GMD, Joint Tactical Radio System, P-8A, and Proprietary programs.

Some of our development programs are contracted on a fixed-price basis. Many of these programs have very complex designs. As technical or quality issues arise, we may experience schedule delays and cost impacts, which could increase our estimated cost to perform the work or reduce our estimated price, either of which could result in a material charge. These programs are ongoing, and while we believe the cost and fee estimates incorporated in the financial statements are appropriate, the technical complexity of these programs creates financial risk as additional completion costs may become necessary or scheduled delivery dates could be missed, which could trigger termination-for-default provisions, the loss of satellite on-orbit incentive payments, or other financially significant exposure. These programs have risk for reach-forward losses if our estimated costs exceed our estimated fees. Examples of these programs include AEW&C, international 767 Tankers, commercial and military satellites, Vigilare and High Frequency Modernisation.

Earnings from Operations

PE&MS operating earnings for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $375 million and $421 million. The increases are primarily due to higher earnings in 2007 on tactical aircraft and rotorcraft programs and the second quarter 2006 charge on the AEW&C development program. The six and three month increases were partially offset by lower price escalation on the C-17 program and revised cost estimates on the international tanker program.

Backlog

PE&MS total backlog was $30,131 million as of June 30, 2007, a decrease of 11% from December 31, 2006. The decrease was due to deliveries and sales on multi-year contracts awarded in prior years for F/A-18, C-17, F-22, and P-8A.

Additional Considerations

Items which could have a future impact on PE&MS operations include the following:

AEW&C We recorded charges of $496 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $274 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 on our international AEW&C program. This development program, also known as Wedgetail in Australia and Peace Eagle in Turkey, consists of a 737-700 aircraft outfitted with a variety of command and control and advanced radar systems, some of which have never been installed on an airplane before. Wedgetail includes six aircraft and Peace Eagle includes four aircraft. This is an advanced and complex fixed-price development program involving technical challenges at the individual subsystem level and in the overall integration of these subsystems into a reliable and effective operational capability. We believe that the cost estimates incorporated in the financial statements are appropriate; however, the technical complexity of the programs creates financial risk as additional completion costs may be necessary or scheduled delivery dates could be missed.

International KC-767 Tanker Program During the first and second quarters of 2007, the PE&MS segment recorded charges on the international 767 Tanker program, which were partially offset at the consolidated level. Currently the international Tanker program includes four aircraft for the Italian Air Force and four aircraft for the Japanese Air Self Defense Force. These charges are associated with additional estimated costs for mitigating both the risks on the flight test program and the delivery risk associated with the Italy and Japan contracts. These programs are ongoing, and while we believe the

cost estimates incorporated in the financial statements are appropriate, the technical complexity of the programs creates financial risk as additional completion and development costs may be necessary or scheduled delivery dates could be missed.

C-17 As of June 30, 2007, we delivered a total of 166 of the 190 C-17 aircraft ordered by the U.S. Air Force, with final deliveries scheduled for 2009. Due to the lack of additional U.S. government and international orders for the C-17, we announced in March 2007 that we stopped procurement for any new C-17 aircraft not under contract or firmly committed. However, in June 2007, based upon continued bipartisan congressional support, including the House Armed Services Committee addition of $2.4 billion for 10 C-17s in their mark of the 2008 budget, and U.S. Air Force testimony to Congress reflecting interest in additional C-17 aircraft, we directed key suppliers to begin work on 10 aircraft beyond the 190 currently on order. It is reasonably possible that we will decide in 2007 to complete production of the C-17 if further orders are not received. We are still evaluating the full financial impact of a potential production shut-down, including any recovery that would be available from the government. Such recovery from the government would not include the costs incurred by us resulting from the recent direction to key suppliers to begin working on the additional 10 aircraft.

Revenues

N&SS revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $117 million and $6 million, an increase of 2% and less than 1% compared with the same periods in 2006. Exclusion of military Delta volume, now a component of our equity investment in ULA, reduced revenues for both the six and three month periods. Increased volume in the first half of 2007 on several satellite programs and a Delta commercial launch in the second quarter of 2007 offset the reductions from ULA.

Earnings from Operations

N&SS operating earnings for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $159 million and $148 million, a 61% and 137% increase from the same periods in 2006. The increase in 2007 is primarily due to significant items that occurred in the first six months of 2006, such as losses of $109 million (including $74 million recorded in the second quarter of 2006) on the Delta IV program due to a settlement of an EELV launch capability services contract and Mission Manifest changes in quantity and timing of launches. Charges from revised cost estimates on Wideband Global SATCOM and Vigilare, both fixed priced development programs, further reduced 2006 earnings.

Backlog

N&SS total backlog was $29,812 million at June 30, 2007, a decrease of 6% from December 31, 2006. Decreases due to revenues recognized on the FCS and Proprietary programs were partially offset by an increase in our space flight operations contract.

Additional Considerations

Items which could have a future impact on N&SS operations include the following:

United Launch Alliance On December 1, 2006, we completed the transaction with Lockheed Martin Corporation (Lockheed) to create a 50/50 joint venture named United Launch Alliance L.L.C. (ULA). ULA combines the production, engineering, test and launch operations associated with U.S. government launches of Boeing Delta and Lockheed Atlas rockets. In connection with the transaction, we initially contributed net assets of $914 million at December 1, 2006. On July 24, 2007 we and Lockheed reached agreement with respect to resolution of the final working capital and the value of the launch vehicle support contracts that each party contributed to form ULA. Before becoming effective, certain matters of the agreements between us and Lockheed are subject to final clearance by the Compliance Officer appointed under the Consent Order with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission relating to the formation of ULA. Resolution of these matters in accordance with the terms of the agreements executed by us and Lockheed will result in additional contributions from both parties with Boeing contributing an additional $97 million. We do not expect to incur a cash outflow as a result of the settlement. The amount due from us will be offset against future payments due to us from ULA associated with an inventory supply agreement. Additionally, conformed accounting adjustments made by ULA during the quarter resulted in adjustments to ULA’s balance sheet. The book value of our investment exceeds our proportionate share of ULA’s net assets. This difference will be expensed ratably in future years. Based on the adjusted contributions and the conformed accounting policies established by ULA, this amortization is expected to be approximately $15 million annually for the next 17 years.

We and Lockheed each will provide ULA with initial cash contributions of up to $25 million, and we each have agreed to extend a line of credit to ULA of up to $200 million to support its working capital requirements. In connection with the transaction, we and Lockheed transferred performance responsibility for certain U.S. government contracts to ULA as of the closing date. We and Lockheed agreed to jointly guarantee the performance of those contracts to the extent required by the U.S. government.

We agreed to indemnify ULA through December 31, 2020 against potential non-recoverability of $1,375 million of Boeing Delta inventories included in contributed assets plus $1,860 million of inventory subject to the inventory supply agreement which ends on March 31, 2021. Since inception, ULA sold $128 million of inventories that were contributed by us. We also indemnified ULA in the event ULA is unable to obtain re-pricing of certain contracts which we contributed to ULA and to which we believe ULA is entitled. We will be responsible for any shortfall and may record up to $322 million in pre-tax losses related to these contracts.

ULA’s launch offerings include the Delta II, Delta IV and Atlas V vehicles. As part of its integration ULA is assessing its portfolio of launch offerings, which may impact future launch offerings, including the Delta II program. There is approximately $190 million of Delta II inventory that is not related to firm orders. Decisions regarding these matters could reduce future earnings.

Sea Launch The Sea Launch venture, in which we are a 40% partner, provides ocean-based launch services to commercial satellite customers.

We issued credit guarantees to creditors of the Sea Launch venture to assist it in obtaining financing. In the event we are required to perform on these guarantees, we believe we can recover a portion of the cost (estimated at $483 million) through guarantees from the other venture partners.

We suspended recording equity losses after writing our investment in and direct loans to Sea Launch down to zero in 2001 and accruing our obligation for third-party guarantees on Sea Launch indebtedness. We are not obligated to provide any further financial support to the Sea Launch venture. However, in the event that we do extend additional financial support to Sea Launch in the future, we will recognize suspended losses as appropriate.

A Sea Launch Zenit-3SL vehicle, carrying a Boeing-built NSS-8 satellite, experienced an anomaly during launch on January 30, 2007. Sea Launch has insurance to cover repairs and vehicle flight and expects to return to flight in late 2007. We continue to look at alternative capital structures for the venture. We do not believe that this anomaly will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Satellites The Boeing-built NSS-8 satellite was declared a total loss due to an anomaly during launch on January 30, 2007. The NSS-8 satellite was insured for $200 million. As of June 30, 2007, we have received insurance proceeds of $142 million and expect to receive the remaining balance in the third quarter of 2007. New Skies Satellites B.V. (New Skies) declined to exercise its option to purchase a replacement spacecraft due to its assertion that we anticipatorily breached the contract. We believe that had New Skies exercised its option, we would have fulfilled our contractual responsibilities. We do not expect the launch anomaly or New Skies’ assertion to materially impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Revenues

Support Systems revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $357 million and $123 million, an increase of 13% and 8% compared with the same periods in 2006. The growth in both periods was primarily due to higher Integrated Logistics program volume resulting from the acquisition of Aviall in the third quarter of 2006 and higher international program volume resulting from our increased ownership in Alsalam Aircraft Company which occurred during the second quarter of 2006.

Earnings from Operations

Support Systems operating earnings for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by $22 million and $24 million compared with the same periods in 2006. While the operating margin continued at a high level, the operating margins for the six and three months decreased 2.3% and 2.6%, primarily due to changes in the contract mix.

Backlog

Support Systems total backlog was $10,520 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of less than 1% from December 31, 2006. Increases in International Support programs and Training Systems and Services programs were partially offset by decreases due to revenues in Maintenance, Modification and Upgrade programs.

Revenues

BCC segment revenues consist principally of interest from financing receivables and notes, lease income from equipment under operating lease and investment income. BCC’s revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007, decreased $58 million and $34 million when compared with the same periods in 2006 primarily due to lower interest income on notes receivable and lower operating lease income, reflecting a lower customer financing portfolio.

Operating Earnings

BCC’s operating earnings are presented net of interest expense, provision for losses, asset impairment expense, depreciation on leased equipment and other operating expenses. Operating earnings for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $11 million and $8 million reflecting lower interest expense, lower depreciation expense, lower asset impairment expense and improvements in aircraft valuations, which were partly offset by lower revenues.

Financial Position

The following table presents selected financial data for BCC:

Debt

   $ 4,747     $ 5,590  

Debt-to-Equity Ratio

     5.0-to-1       5.0-to-1  

BCC’s customer financing and investment portfolio at June 30, 2007 decreased from December 31, 2006 due to pre-payment of certain notes receivable, normal portfolio run-off, and the sale of certain portfolio assets. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, BCC had $114 million and $259 million of assets that were held for sale or re-lease, of which $110 million and $253 million had firm contracts to be sold or placed on lease. Additionally, leases with a carrying value of approximately $60 million are scheduled to terminate in the next 12 months and the related aircraft are being remarketed or leases are being extended.

Restructurings and Restructuring Requests

From time to time, certain BCC customers request a restructuring of their transactions with BCC. BCC has not reached agreement on any restructuring requests that they believe would have a material adverse effect on its earnings, cash flows and/or financial position.

OTHER

Other segment losses for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 were $32 million and $30 million compared with losses of $151 million and $90 million for the same periods of 2006. The increases of $119 million and $60 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 were primarily due to the absence of losses related to our Connexion By Boeing high speed broadband communications business, which we exited during the third quarter of 2006. We have not reached final settlements with all customers or suppliers. We do not believe the final settlements will have a material adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows and/or financial position.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $136 million to $4,362 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to increases in receivables and inventories partially offset by increases in operating earnings and lower customer financing.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities increased to $1,212 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $646 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to investment and property, plant and equipment purchases of $791 million and $120 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of investments of $485 million. In addition, in the same period of 2006, we received $108 million of proceeds from dispositions.

As of June 30, 2007, our externally managed portfolio of investment grade fixed income instruments had an average duration of 1.8 years. The investments balance as of June 30, 2007 is $3,368 million and is classified as available-for-sale.

Financing Activities

Cash used by financing activities increased to $2,123 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $1,715 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to increased debt repayments of $266 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we repaid $893 million of debt, including scheduled repayments of $832 million of debt held at BCC. The recorded balance of debt as of June 30, 2007 was $8,655 million, of which $4,747 million was recorded at BCC. There were no debt issuances during the six months ended June 30, 2007 or 2006.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we repurchased 10,529,025 shares at an average price of $93.05 in our open market share repurchase program, and 25,637 shares in stock swaps. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we repurchased 11,783,600 shares at an average price of $78.81 in our open market share repurchase program, and 32,653 shares in stock swaps. Cash used for treasury share repurchases was $946 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with $929 million for the same period in 2006.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Currently, we are a defendant in a number of legal proceedings. For a discussion of contingencies related to legal proceedings, see Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

We possess a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit allowing us to discharge industrial waste water and surface storm water from our Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) site in Simi Valley, California. The permit regulates surface water discharges at various locations on the property and imposes limits on the permissible levels of certain chemical compounds in the discharges. In July 2004 and again in January and March 2006, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region (Regional Board), amended our 1998 NPDES Permit for the SSFL site. The amendments imposed increasingly more stringent numeric surface water discharge limits. We appealed the permit amendments to the California Water Resources Control Board (State Board) in early 2006. In December 2006, the State Board issued its order on our appeal of the surface water permit. The order remands the matter to the Regional Board to establish a compliance schedule, but upholds the Regional Board’s inclusion of the limits in the permit. On January 17, 2007, we filed a petition for a writ challenging the State Board’s adverse rulings in Los Angeles County Superior Court (an earlier court action challenging the Board’s refusal to stay enforcement of the permit limits pending the State Board’s action on the appeal was dismissed as moot on January 5, 2007).

In the period 2004 to the present, we have received five violation notices for exceeding permissible limits under our NPDES permit. For each notice of violation, we may be subject to administrative penalties of up to $10,000 per violation and an additional charge based on the volume of water discharged. No such penalties have been assessed. In November 2005, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Los Angeles served us with a grand jury subpoena seeking documents pertaining to our compliance with the NPDES permit during the period 2001 to the present and subsequently alleged that we have violated the federal Clean Water Act. We are completing document production pursuant to the subpoena and intend to engage in discussions with the U.S. Attorney’s office regarding the basis for our belief that no criminal violations of the Clean Water Act occurred, and that, even if violations had occurred, prosecution would be inappropriate.

Item 2. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
