NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim periods, do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Dover Corporation (“Dover” or the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which provides a more complete understanding of Dover’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties and other matters. It is the opinion of management that these financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim results. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
2. New Accounting Pronouncement
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 specifies the way companies are to account for uncertainty in income tax reporting, and prescribes a methodology for recognizing, reversing, and measuring the tax benefits of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. As a result of adopting the new standard, the Company recorded a $58.2 million increase to reserves as a “cumulative effect” decrease to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2007, of which $53.4 million is included in continuing operations. Including this “cumulative effect” adjustment, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits (reserves) of $190.5 million at January 1, 2007, of which $35.4 million related to accrued interest and penalties. The portion of the unrecognized tax benefits included in continuing operations totaled $147.6 million, of which $28.0 million related to accrued interest and penalties. At January 1, 2007, the majority of these unrecognized tax benefits in continuing operations were classified as Other Deferrals in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and, if recognized, the entire amount of $147.6 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to its uncertain tax positions for continuing operations as a component of provision for income taxes.
At December 31, 2006, the continuing unrecognized tax benefit of $94.2 million was included in Federal and Other Taxes on Income in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company reduced its unrecognized tax benefits through Net Earnings by $13.6 million, $7.1 million in continuing operations, as a result of settling certain tax positions.
Dover files Federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state, local and foreign jurisdiction tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to examinations of its federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for years through 2002. The IRS is currently examining years 2003 and 2004. All significant state and local, and foreign matters have been concluded for years through 1994 and 1999, respectively. With the exception of matters in litigation, for which an estimate cannot be made due to uncertainties, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months.

3. Acquisitions
The 2007 acquisitions are wholly-owned and had an aggregate cost of $118.0 million, net of cash acquired, at the date of acquisition. The following table details acquisitions made during 2007:

For certain acquisitions, the Company is in the process of obtaining or finalizing appraisals of tangible and intangible assets and continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocations as of the acquisition date, which will be adjusted as additional information relative to the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the businesses becomes known. Accordingly, management has used its best estimate in the initial purchase price allocation as of the date of these financial statements.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities that were assumed as of the dates of the 2007 acquisitions and the amounts assigned to goodwill and intangible asset classifications:

7. Discontinued Operations
2007
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company completed the sale of a previously discontinued business in the Resources segment and recorded other adjustments for businesses still held for sale, resulting in a net loss of approximately $5.0 million ($8.3 million after-tax).
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company completed the sales of Kurz Kasch, discontinued in 2006 from the Electronics segment, and SWF, discontinued in 2005 from the Systems segment and recorded other adjustments for businesses still held for sale and to reserves related to completed sales, resulting in a net loss of approximately $9.6 million ($7.5 million after-tax).
2006
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company discontinued five businesses in the Technologies segment, one business in the Industries segment and one business in the Electronics segment. As a result, the Company recorded write-down and other adjustments totaling $101.2 million ($84.9 million after-tax) of the carrying value of these businesses to their estimated fair market value.
During the first quarter of 2006, Dover completed the sale of Tranter PHE, a business discontinued from the Diversified segment in the fourth quarter of 2005, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $109.0 million ($85.5 million after-tax). In addition, during the first quarter of 2006, the Company discontinued and sold a business in the Electronics segment for a loss of $2.5 million ($2.2 million after-tax). Also, during the first quarter of 2006, the Company discontinued an operating company, comprised of two businesses in the Resources segment, resulting in an impairment of approximately $15.4 million ($14.4 million after-tax).

(1)   Includes impairments
At June 30, 2007, the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations primarily relate to the three businesses discontinued in 2006 in the Diversified segment which have not been sold. Additional detail related to the assets and liabilities of the Company’s discontinued operations is as follows:
                 
    At June 30,     At December 31,

  $ 89,766     $ 131,286  
 
           
In addition to the assets and liabilities of the entities currently held for sale in discontinued operations, the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations include residual amounts related to businesses previously sold. These residual amounts include property, plant and equipment, deferred tax assets, short and long-term reserves, and contingencies.
8. Debt
Dover’s long-term debt with a book value of $1,497.8 million, of which $32.1 million matures in the current year, had a fair value of approximately $1,447.1 million at June 30, 2007. The estimated fair value of the long-term notes is based on quoted market prices for similar issues.
There are presently two interest rate swap agreements outstanding for a total notional amount of $100.0 million, designated as fair value hedges on part of the Company’s $150.0 million 6.25% Notes due on June 1, 2008. One $50.0 million interest rate swap exchanges fixed-rate interest for variable-rate interest. The other $50.0 million swap is designated in foreign currency and exchanges fixed-rate interest for variable-rate interest, and also hedges a portion of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations. The swap agreements have reduced the effective interest rate on the notes to 6.05%. There is no hedge ineffectiveness. The fair value of the interest rate swaps outstanding as of June 30, 2007 was determined through market quotation.
9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
A few of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings relating to the cleanup of waste disposal sites identified under federal and state statutes which provide for the allocation of such costs among “potentially responsible parties.” In each instance, the extent of the Company’s liability appears to be very small in relation to the total projected expenditures and the number of other “potentially responsible parties” involved and is anticipated to be immaterial to the Company. In addition, a few of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in

ongoing remedial activities at certain current and former plant sites, in cooperation with regulatory agencies, and appropriate reserves have been established.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are also parties to a number of other legal proceedings incidental to their businesses. These proceedings primarily involve claims by private parties alleging injury arising out of use of the Company’s products, exposure to hazardous substances, patent infringement, employment matters and commercial disputes. Management and legal counsel periodically review the probable outcome of such proceedings, the costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred, the availability and extent of insurance coverage, and established reserves. While it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of these legal actions or any need for additional reserves, in the opinion of management, based on these reviews, it is very unlikely that the disposition of the lawsuits and the other matters mentioned above will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, cash flows or competitive position of the Company.
Estimated warranty program claims are provided for at the time of sale. Amounts provided for are based on historical costs and adjusted new claims. The changes in the carrying amount of product warranties through June 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

13. Recent Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007 and does not require any new fair value measurements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its overall results of operations and financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This Statement allows entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its overall results of operations and financial position.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Refer to the section below entitled “Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements contained below and throughout this quarterly report.
OVERVIEW
Dover Corporation (“Dover” or the “Company”) is a diversified multinational manufacturing corporation comprised of operating companies that manufacture a broad range of specialized industrial products and components, as well as sophisticated manufacturing equipment, and seek to expand their range of related services, consumables and wear parts sales. Dover’s operating companies are based primarily in the United States of America, Europe and the Far East with manufacturing and other operations throughout the world. Dover reports its operating companies’ results in six reportable segments and discusses its operations in 13 groups.
(1) FINANCIAL CONDITION:
Management assesses Dover’s liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash and access to capital markets to fund its operating, investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting liquidity are: cash flows generated from operating activities, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dispositions, dividends, stock repurchases, adequacy of commercial paper and available bank lines of credit, and the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms. The Company generates substantial cash from operations and remains in a strong financial position, maintaining enough liquidity for reinvestment in existing businesses and strategic acquisitions while managing its capital structure on a short and long-term basis.
Cash and cash equivalents of $409.9 million at June 30, 2007 increased from the December 31, 2006 balance of $373.6 million. Cash and cash equivalents were primarily invested in highly liquid investment grade money market instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less.
The following table is derived from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
                 
    Six Months Ended June 30,
Cash Flows from Continuing Operations (in thousands)   2007   2006
Net Cash Flows Provided By (Used In):
               
Operating activities
  330,197     298,262  
Investing activities
    (167,099 )     (31,101 )
Financing activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2007 increased $31.9 million over the prior year period, primarily reflecting higher earnings from the Company’s operations.
The cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2007 was $167.1 million compared to $31.1 million in the prior year period, largely reflecting higher proceeds received from sales of discontinued businesses in the 2006 period. Capital expenditures in the six months of 2007 increased to $95.1 million as compared to $86.6 million in the prior year period primarily due to investments in plant expansions, plant machinery and information technology systems to support revenue growth and market demand. Acquisition spending was $118.0 million during the first six months of 2007 compared to $104.6 million in the prior year period. Proceeds from the sales of discontinued businesses in the first six months of 2007 were $30.4 million compared to $153.4 million in the 2006 period. The Company currently anticipates that any additional acquisitions made during 2007 will be funded from available cash and internally generated funds and, if necessary, through the issuance of commercial paper, use of established lines of credit or public debt markets.
Cash used in financing activities for the first six months of 2007 totaled $117.5 million as compared to cash used of $208.8 million during the comparable period last year, as reduced debt repayments in 2007 was partially offset by increased stock repurchase activity. In 2007, the Company purchased 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s

common stock in the open market at an average market price of $49.47, of which 1,000,000 shares were purchased in the second quarter at an average price of $50.23.
“Adjusted Working Capital” (calculated as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable) increased from the prior year end by $66.9 million or 4.9% to $1,423.4 million, which reflected increases in receivables of $62.7 million and increases in inventory of $31.1 million, partially offset by an increase in payables of $26.8 million. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency, working capital would have increased by $40.9 million or 3.0%. Average Annual Adjusted Working Capital as a percentage of revenue (a non-GAAP measure; calculated as the five quarter average balance of accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable divided by the trailing twelve months of revenue) was 19.3% at June 30, 2007 compared to 18.9% at December 31, 2006 and inventory turns were 6.4 at June 30, 2007 compared to 6.5 at December 31, 2006 and 6.3 at June 30, 2006.
In addition to measuring its cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing and financing classifications included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company also measures free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure). Management believes that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides both management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to fund acquisitions, pay dividends, repay debt and repurchase Dover’s common stock. Dover’s free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $23.4 million compared to the prior year period. The increase reflected higher earnings from the Company’s operations, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures.
The following table is a reconciliation of free cash flow with cash flows from operating activities:

Total debt of $1,756.5 million and net debt of $1,346.6 million at June 30, 2007 decreased from December 31, 2006 due to a repayment of $15.0 million of long-term debt and a higher cash balance. The net debt decrease was substantially due to the increase in cash generated from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2007 when compared to December 31, 2006.
Dover’s long-term debt with a book value of $1,497.8 million, of which $32.1 million matures in less than one year, had a fair value of approximately $1,447.1 million at June 30, 2007. The estimated fair value of the long-term notes is based on quoted market prices for similar issues.

There are presently two interest rate swap agreements outstanding for a total notional amount of $100.0 million, designated as fair value hedges on part of the Company’s $150.0 million 6.25% Notes due on June 1, 2008. One $50 million interest rate swap exchanges fixed-rate interest for variable-rate interest. The other $50 million swap is designated in foreign currency and exchanges fixed-rate interest for variable-rate interest, and also hedges a portion of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations. The swap agreements have reduced the effective interest rate on the notes to 6.05%. There is no hedge ineffectiveness, and the fair value of the interest rate swaps outstanding as of June 30, 2007 was determined through market quotation.
(2) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue for the second quarter of 2007 increased 12% to $1,859.0 million from the comparable 2006 period, principally from acquisitions at Resources and Technologies, as the modest reduction in core business revenue was offset by the impact of foreign exchange. Gross profit increased 8% to $667.2 million from the prior year quarter while the gross profit margin decreased 110 basis points (“bps”) to 35.9%. Overall, segment operating margin totaled 15.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to 15.9% in the prior year quarter and 13.0% in the first quarter of 2007.
Revenue for the first six months of 2007 increased 15% to $3,639.2 million from the comparable 2006 period, primarily due to acquisitions at Resources and Technologies, along with increases at all other segments. Gross profit increased 12% to $1,303.1 million from the prior year period while the gross profit margin decreased 90 bps to 35.8%. Overall, segment operating margin totaled 14.0% for the year to date period ended June 30, 2007 compared to 15.5% at June 30, 2006 and 14.9% for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Selling and administrative expenses of $404.8 million for the second quarter of 2007 increased by $38.6 million over the comparable 2006 period, primarily due to increased revenue activity. The 2007 period includes a $5.3 million net gain on a facility sale. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 21.8% from 22.1% in the comparable 2006 period.
Selling and administrative expenses of $825.2 million for the first six months of 2007 increased $123.6 million over the comparable 2006 period, mainly due to increased revenue activity. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 22.7% from 22.1% in the comparable 2006 period.
Interest expense, net, for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 remained essentially the same as the prior year. Other expense (income), net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, primarily related to the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the company’s functional currency and other miscellaneous non-operational items.
The effective tax rates for continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were 27.0% and 29.6%, respectively. The effective tax rates for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were 27.6% and 29.9%, respectively. The rates for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 both decreased due to benefits recognized for tax positions that are effectively settled.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 specifies the way companies are to account for uncertainty in income tax reporting, and prescribes a methodology for recognizing, reversing, and measuring the tax benefits of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. As a result of adopting the new standard, the Company recorded a $58.2 million increase to reserves as a “cumulative effect” decrease to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2007, of which $53.4 million is included in continuing operations. Including this “cumulative effect” adjustment, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits (reserves) of $190.5 million at January 1, 2007, of which $35.4 million related to accrued interest and penalties. The portion of the unrecognized tax benefits included in continuing operations totaled $147.6 million, of which $28.0 million related to accrued interest and penalties. At January 1, 2007, the majority of these unrecognized tax benefits in continuing operations

were classified as Other Deferrals in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and, if recognized, the entire amount of $147.6 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company reduced its unrecognized tax benefits through Net Earnings by $13.6 million, $7.1 million in continuing operations, as a result of settling certain tax positions.
Earnings from continuing operations for the quarter increased 10% to $175.1 million or $0.85 EPS compared to $158.8 million or $0.77 EPS in the prior year second quarter. The increase was primarily a result of acquisitions at Resources and Technologies.
Earnings from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 8.2% to $314.0 million or $1.52 EPS compared to $290.1 million or $1.41 EPS in the prior year period.
Loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter 2007 was $2.9 million or $0.01 EPS compared to a loss of $86.8 million or $0.42 EPS in the comparable 2006 quarter. The 2007 loss included a $8.3 million loss, net of tax, related to the sale of a previously discontinued business in the Resources segment and adjustments related to businesses still held for sale. The 2006 loss included an impairment of $67.5 million ($59.8 million after-tax) related to five businesses that were discontinued in the Technologies segment and an impairment of $39 million ($28.1 million after-tax) related to a discontinued business in the Electronics segment.
Loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $12.8 million or $0.06 EPS compared to a loss of $14.3 million or $0.07 EPS in the comparable 2006 period. The 2007 loss includes the second quarter events mentioned above as well as first quarter losses from the sales of two previously discontinued businesses, Kurz-Kasch in the Electronics segment and SWF in the Systems segment, and other adjustments for businesses still held for sale and to reserves related to completed sales. The 2006 year to date loss included the impairments recorded for discontinued businesses in the first and second quarters of 2006, partially offset by a gain on the sale of Tranter PHE.

Electronics’ revenue increase over the prior year second quarter reflects an increase in the Components group, partially offset by a decrease in the Commercial Equipment group. The segment’s increase in revenue was attributed to acquisitions, as the net core business revenue decline of 3% was offset by the impact of foreign exchange. Earnings were negatively impacted by competitive conditions in the Commercial Equipment group and initial purchase accounting expenses related to the February 2007 acquisition of Pole/Zero by Microwave Products Group.
Components’ revenue increased 8% while the group’s earnings increased 11% compared to the prior year second quarter, largely due to demand for micro acoustic products as well as strength in military markets. The majority of the revenue growth reflected the February 2007 acquisition of Pole/Zero. Bookings increased 8% and backlog increased 16%.

Industries’ revenue and earnings increases over the prior year second quarter were a result of improvement in the Mobile Equipment group, which included a net gain on the sale of a facility, partially offset by declines in the Service Equipment group. The segment achieved organic revenue growth in the quarter of 5%, with the remainder due to the impact of foreign exchange.
Mobile Equipment revenue increased 11% over the prior year second quarter, due to strength in the petroleum, crude oil and military markets. Earnings increased 44% driven by improved volume and a $5.3 million net pre-tax gain recognized on the sale of a facility. Without the gain from this sale, earnings would have been up 20%. Bookings and backlog increased 23% and 65%, respectively.
The Service Equipment group was negatively impacted by weakness in the North American automotive service industry. Revenue and earnings decreased 4% and 13%, respectively, compared to the prior year second quarter. Bookings and backlog increased 11% and 27%, respectively.

Systems’ decreases in revenue and earnings over the prior year second quarter were due to core business declines in both groups within the segment, as the impact of foreign exchange was negligible. Margins were down 100 basis points when compared to a very strong 2006 second quarter. However, on a sequential basis, the margin improved 250 basis points.
Food Equipment revenue and earnings decreased 6% and 7%, respectively, over the prior year second quarter. The timing of supermarket equipment shipments impacted the quarter’s revenue, margin and earnings. Sequentially, revenue and earnings were up 15% and 59%, respectively, reflecting normal seasonal improvement. Bookings increased 8%, while backlog increased 14%.
Packaging Equipment revenue and earnings decreased 3% and 26% over the prior year second quarter due to a decrease in beverage machinery equipment revenue, partially offset by an increase in package closure systems. The lower volume and higher material costs contributed to the earnings decline in the group. Bookings increased 4%, while backlog decreased 12%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the increase in Systems revenue was driven by the Packaging Equipment group, while the decrease in earnings was due to the Food Equipment group. Food Equipment revenue remained flat, earnings decreased 11%, and bookings increased 4%. Packaging Equipment revenue increased 11% while earnings remained flat and bookings increased 5%.

and 3%, respectively, were partially offset by a decrease in organic revenue of 15%. Lower earnings and margin reflected decreased Automation and Measurement (“A&M”) revenue and the margin impact from Markem.
A&M revenue and earnings decreased 21% and 47%, respectively, when compared to the prior year second quarter. Softness in the semi-conductor equipment market in comparison to the strong second quarter of 2006 continues to impact the group. Bookings and backlog decreased 12% and 25%, respectively, over the same quarter last year. However, bookings were up 18% sequentially with a book to bill ratio of 1.07. In addition, revenue and earnings improved 7% and 22%, respectively, on a sequential basis.
Product Identification (“PI”) revenue increased 64% while earnings increased 34% over the prior year second quarter. The majority of the revenue and earnings increase was a result of the December 2006 acquisition of Markem and May 2006 acquisition of O’Neil. Bookings increased 69% and backlog increased 42% over the prior year second quarter.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Technologies’ revenue increase and earnings decrease were due to similar events that impacted the second quarter. A&M revenue and earnings decreased 19% and 46%, respectively, while bookings decreased 23%. PI had 71% and 35% increases in revenue and earnings, respectively, and a 72% increase in bookings.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in the public disclosures of the Company, including information regarding contingencies, risk and its financial condition. The Company believes its use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions conform to GAAP and are consistently applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for reasonableness on a consistent basis throughout the Company.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly “Management’s Discussion and Analysis,” contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relate to, among other things, income, earnings, cash flows, changes in operations, operating improvements, industries in which Dover Companies operate and the U.S. and global economies. Statements in this 10-Q that are not historical are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements” and may be indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “supports,” “plans,” “projects,” “expects,” “believes,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “hope,” “forecast,” “management is of the opinion,” use of the future tense and similar words or phrases. Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent uncertainties and risks, including among others: increasing price and product/service competition by foreign and domestic competitors including new entrants; the impact of technological developments and changes on Dover companies, particularly companies in the Electronics and Technologies segments; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; changes in the cost or availability of energy or raw materials; changes in customer demand; the extent to which Dover companies are successful in expanding into new geographic markets, particularly outside of North America; the relative mix of products and services which impacts margins and operating efficiencies; short-term capacity restraints; the achievement of lower costs and expenses; domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes including environmental regulations and tax policies (including domestic and foreign export subsidy programs, R&E credits and other similar programs); unforeseen developments in contingencies such as litigation; protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; the success of the Company’s acquisition program; the cyclical nature of some of Dover’s companies; the impact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, and their effect on global energy markets; and continued events in the Middle East and possible future terrorist threats and their effect on the worldwide economy. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general domestic and international economic conditions including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations. In light of these risks and uncertainties, actual events and results may vary significantly from those included in or contemplated or implied by such statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made.

Non-GAAP Information
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company also discloses non-GAAP information which management believes provides useful information to investors. Free cash flow, net debt, total capitalization, adjusted working capital, average annual adjusted working capital, revenues excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and organic revenue growth are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for cash flows from operating activities, debt or equity, revenue and working capital as determined in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes the (1) net debt to total capitalization ratio and (2) free cash flow are important measures of operating performance and liquidity. Net debt to total capitalization is helpful in evaluating the Company’s capital structure and the amount of leverage it employs. Free cash flow provides both management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to fund acquisitions, pay dividends, repay debt and repurchase the Company’s common stock. Reconciliations of free cash flow, total debt and net debt can be found in Part (1) of Item 2-Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Management believes that reporting adjusted working capital (also sometimes called “working capital”), which is calculated as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable, provides a meaningful measure of the Company’s operational results by showing the changes caused solely by revenue. Management believes that reporting adjusted working capital and revenues at constant currency, which excludes the positive or negative impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, provides a meaningful measure of the Company’s operational changes, given the global nature of Dover’s businesses. Management believes that reporting organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions, provides a useful comparison of the Company’s revenue performance and trends between periods.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the first six months of 2007. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2007.
During the second quarter of 2007, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In making its assessment of changes in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, management has excluded those companies acquired in purchase business combinations during the twelve months ended June 30, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the control environments of these acquisitions. These companies are wholly-owned by the Company and their total revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 represent approximately 9.9% and 9.7%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the same periods. Their assets represent approximately 17.4% of the Company’s consolidated assets at June 30, 2007.
