SENSUS METERING SYSTEMS (BERMUDA 2) LTD.



NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Description of Business



Sensus Metering Systems (Bermuda 2) Ltd., together with its subsidiaries, referred to herein as the Company, is a leading provider of advanced metering and related communications solutions to the worldwide utility industry. The Company is a
global manufacturer of water meters, gas meters, heat meters, electricity meters and automatic meter reading devices. In addition, the Company produces pipe joining and repair products for water and natural gas utilities and is a supplier of
precision-manufactured aluminum die-castings.



The Acquisition



The Company was formed on December 17, 2003 through the
acquisition (the Acquisition) of the metering systems and certain other businesses of Invensys plc (Invensys). Prior to the Acquisition, the Company had no active business operations. The Acquisition was completed pursuant to
the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2003 (the Stock Purchase Agreement) between Invensys and certain of its affiliates and Sensus Metering Systems Inc. Sensus Metering Systems Inc. is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Sensus Metering Systems (Bermuda 2) Ltd. The businesses acquired from Invensys are referred to herein as Invensys Metering Systems, or the Predecessor, and form the basis for the financial information of the Predecessor included
herein.



The initial purchase price for Invensys Metering
Systems of $657.3 million was financed through a combination of borrowings under a $230.0 million term loan facility which is part of the Companys senior credit facilities, the issuance of $275.0 million of senior subordinated notes (the
Notes), and equity contributions from the principal investors in the Company and certain officers and directors of the Company. The purchase price payable under the Stock Purchase Agreement for Invensys Metering Systems was subject to
adjustment based on (i) the level of working capital as of the closing date of the Acquisition, (ii) the projected pension benefit obligations of Invensys Metering Systems as of the closing date, and (iii) the net level of intercompany payables and
receivables as of the closing date. Following the closing of the Acquisition, discussions were held by Invensys and the Company regarding the appropriate level of the adjustment, and on July 27, 2004, the parties reached agreement on the adjustment
amount which resulted in a cash payment of $5.0 million by Invensys to the Company and a corresponding reduction to the purchase price. In December 2004, Invensys paid $2.0 million to the Company related to bonus obligations. The $2.0 million
payment is reflected as a reduction of goodwill. The Company has also adjusted the purchase price allocation by $2.4 million, reflecting the final adjustment to the fair value of the net assets acquired and for Acquisition transaction costs
incurred. The $2.4 million decrease in net assets is reflected as an increase to goodwill.



The consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein include the accounts of Sensus Metering Systems (Bermuda 2) Ltd. for periods subsequent to the Acquisition, which was completed on December 18,
2003.



The financial statements of the Predecessor are
presented for comparative purposes and include the combined historical statements of the subsidiaries and operations of Invensys Metering Systems, which were acquired by the Company. Numerous factors related to the Acquisition, including the
Companys increased leverage, the impact of purchase accounting, and significant modifications to the Companys employee benefit arrangements and management structure, will have a material impact on the Companys financial condition
and results of operations. Consequently, the results of operations of the Predecessor may have only limited comparability to the results of operation of the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In November
2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter
4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they
meet the criterion of so abnormal. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The Company adopted SFAS 151 during
the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 151 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.



On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a revised Statement No. 123, Accounting for
Share-Based Payment, Revised Statement(FAS 123(R)). FAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. FAS 123(R) requires
that the compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The cost recognized in the financial statements will be based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. FAS
123(R) also offers additional guidance on measuring the fair value of share-based payment awards. Sensus Metering Systems (Bermuda 1) Ltd. maintains a Restricted Share Plan that provides for the award of restricted common shares to officers,
directors and consultants of the Company. The Company will adopt FAS 123(R), in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. As permitted by FAS 123(R), the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25s
intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation for employee stock options. The adoption of FAS 123(R) may have an impact on our results of operation; however, it will have no impact on our overall financial position.



Use of Estimates



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements. Due to various factors affecting future costs and operations, actual results could differ from those estimates.



Stock-Based Compensation



The Companys parent, Sensus Metering Systems (Bermuda 1) Ltd.,
maintains a Restricted Share Plan that provides for the award of restricted common shares to officers, directors and consultants of the Company. The restricted shares issued pursuant to the plan will be service time vested ratably over each of the
five years from the date of grant, provided that no vesting will occur until the second anniversary of the date of grant. In addition, the vesting of the restricted shares may accelerate upon the occurrence of certain stated liquidity events. Common
shares awarded under the Restricted Share Plan are generally subject to restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights and other limitations as set forth in the management subscription and shareholders agreement. The Company accounts for this
plan under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No compensation expense was recognized during the fiscal quarter and nine months ended January 1,
2005, as the recipients of the restricted shares paid the fair value thereof.

2. Intangible Assets



Intangible assets consist of goodwill, tradenames, patents, non-competition agreements and customer and distributor relationships. Goodwill at January 1,
2005 represents the excess of the purchase price paid by the Company for the Predecessor over the fair value of the net assets acquired, and the excess of the purchase price paid by the Company for NexusData, Inc. (Nexus) (see Note 10)
over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The purchase price allocation for the Predecessor and Nexus resulted in $344.5 million of goodwill being recorded as of January 1, 2005. The goodwill can be attributed to the value placed on the
Company being an industry leader with market-leading positions in the North American water metering market and the North American clamps and couplings market. The purchase price payable under the Stock Purchase Agreement for Invensys Metering
Systems was subject to adjustment based on the level of working capital as of the closing date of the Acquisition, the projected pension benefit obligations of Invensys Metering Systems as of the closing date, and the net level of intercompany
payables and receivables as of the closing date. Following the closing of the Acquisition, discussions were held by Invensys and the Company regarding the appropriate level of the adjustments, and on July 27, 2004, the parties reached agreement on
the adjustment amount which resulted in a cash payment of $5.0 million by Invensys to the Company and a corresponding reduction to the purchase price. The $5.0 million price reduction is reflected as a reduction of goodwill. In December 2004,
Invensys paid $2.0 million to the Company related to bonus obligations. The $2.0 million payment is reflected as a reduction of goodwill. The Company has also adjusted the purchase price allocation by $2.4 million, reflecting the final adjustment to
the fair value of the net assets acquired and for Acquisition transaction costs incurred. The $2.4 million decrease in net assets is reflected as an increase to goodwill.



The purchase price allocation for Nexus has resulted in $1.7 million of goodwill and $4.5 million of identifiable intangible
assets being recorded through the period ended January 1, 2005. The purchase agreement also included provisions for payment of additional considerations, up to a total of $1.5 million, to be paid to Nexus based on specific performance criteria of
the acquired business through June 4, 2007. Payments made based on these criteria will adjust the Nexus purchase price and be allocated to goodwill. The goodwill can be attributed to the anticipated future earnings and cash flows of the businesses
acquired.



Intangible assets are summarized as follows (in
millions):

markets. The sale price of $1.1 million includes (1) an initial cash payment of $850,000 received in September 2004, and (2) $250,000 cash to be paid by the purchaser six months after closing, which is subject to adjustment for any indemnification
claims.



On September 30, 2004, the Company sold its fifty-one
percent (51%) interest in Measurement Solutions International LLC (MSI), a full service meter asset management organization based in Paulsboro, New Jersey, for $0.6 million. The sale was part of Sensus Metering Systems strategy to
focus on its core business. The sales price consisted of (1) $300,000 cash received in September 2004, (2) $30,000 cash received in December 2004, (3) $225,000 cash, receivable upon renewal of specific service contracts, and (4) an amount in cash

These dispositions have been accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and, accordingly, amounts in the consolidated condensed statement of operations for all periods presented have been reclassified to reflect

Prior to the closing
date of the Acquisition, the Company identified opportunities to improve the operating performance of Invensys Metering Systems via the closure of a manufacturing operation in Europe. Subsequent to the closing date of the Acquisition, the Company
approved restructuring actions of approximately $6.0 million related to previously identified opportunities. These actions principally reflect severance benefits and asset impairments. These restructuring actions commenced in 2004 and the Company
expects the actions will be completed by March 31, 2005.



For
the fiscal quarter and nine months ended January 1, 2005, the Company incurred $1.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively, of restructuring costs related to ongoing activities to rationalize its water and gas meter product lines in Europe and to
align the South American structure with current market conditions. Actions in Europe affect both direct and indirect personnel and will result in a headcount reduction of 39 employees. These programs are concentrated in the Companys German
water meter and UK gas meter production facilities. The South American reorganization, which affected both direct and indirect personnel, reduced headcount by 11 employees. The Company anticipates that these initiatives will be completed by March
31, 2005.

7. Warranty Obligations



Product warranty reserves are established in the same
period that revenue from the sale of the related products is recognized. The amounts of those reserves are based on established terms and the Companys best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold
as of the balance sheet date. Warranty reserves are reflected within accruals and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.

8. Income Taxes



The current fiscal period effective tax rates were the result of
income taxes being incurred on the taxable income of the Companys U.S. operations while no income tax benefit was recorded on the operating losses incurred in certain foreign jurisdictions where the realization of related deferred tax assets
is considered uncertain.



9. Retirement Benefits



The Company has defined benefit plans, principally in Europe, where such
plans are typically unfunded and provide for monthly pension payments to eligible employees upon retirement. Pension benefits for salaried employees generally are based on years of credited service and average earnings. Pension benefits for hourly
employees generally are based on specified benefit amounts and years of service. The Companys policy is to fund its pension obligations in conformity with the funding requirements of the laws and governmental regulations applicable in the
respective country.



The following information reflects the net
period benefit cost for participants in the Companys significant European retirement benefit plans. That information is summarized as follows (in millions):

10. Acquisition



As of June 4, 2004, the Company purchased certain assets of Nexus for $6.0 million. This purchase provides the Company with full ownership of a fixed
network AMR system for the water, gas and electric utility markets. Prior to the acquisition, the Company had an exclusive distribution agreement with Nexus for the water utility market.



This transaction has been accounted for as a purchase. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained
herein include Nexus results of operations for the period from June 4, 2004 through January 1, 2005.



The Company has completed its preliminary purchase price allocation attributable to the Nexus acquisition. The final allocation will be completed within
one year of the transaction and any resulting adjustment is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations. The preliminary purchase price allocation based on managements estimates at
the date of the acquisition is as follows (in millions):



|                                  |  |  |      
|--------------------------------- |  |  | -----
|Property, plant and equipment     |  |  | $ 0.5
|Goodwill                          |  |  | 1.7  
|Intangible assets                 |  |  | 4.5  
|                                  |  |  |      
|Total assets acquired             |  |  | 6.7  
|                                  |  |  |      
|Fair value of net assets acquired |  |  | $ 6.7
|                                  |  |  |      



The preliminary
allocation of the purchase price resulted in the recognition of $1.7 million of goodwill attributable to the anticipated future earnings and cash flows and transaction costs of $0.7 million related to this acquisition. The Company preliminarily
allocated $4.5 million of the purchase price to intangible assets, $4.0 million of which was related to intellectual property that will be amortized over 3 years. The remaining $0.5 million of intangible assets was related to non-competition
agreements that will be amortized over 7 years.



The purchase
agreement also included provisions for payment of additional considerations, up to a total of $1.5 million, to be paid to Nexus based on specific performance criteria of the acquired business through June 4, 2007. Any payments made based on these
criteria will adjust the Nexus purchase price and be allocated to goodwill.



11. Guarantor Subsidiaries



The following
tables present condensed consolidating unaudited financial information of the Company at January 1, 2005 and the audited financial information of the Company at March 31, 2004 and the unaudited financial information of the Company for the fiscal
quarter and nine months ended January 1, 2005 and for the period from Inception (December 18, 2003) through December 28, 2003, and condensed combining unaudited financial information of the Predecessor for the period from October 1, 2003 through
December 17, 2003 and for the period from April 1, 2003 through December 17, 2003, for: (a) Sensus Metering Systems (Bermuda 2) Ltd. (referred to as Parent), (b) Sensus Metering Systems Inc. the issuer of the Notes (referred to as Issuer), (c) on a
combined basis, the subsidiaries of Sensus Metering Systems (Bermuda 2) Ltd. that are guaranteeing the Notes, which include all of the wholly-owned U.S. domestic subsidiaries of Sensus Metering Systems (Bermuda 2) Ltd. other than IMSofTech Inc.
(Guarantor Subsidiaries), and (d) on a combined basis, the subsidiaries of Sensus Metering Systems (Bermuda 2) Ltd. that are not guaranteeing the Notes, including IMSofTech (Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). Separate financial
statements for the Issuer and the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because their guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, and the Company believes separate financial statements and other disclosures are not material to
investors. The Notes were issued by Sensus Metering Systems Inc. in connection with the Acquisition of Invensys Metering Systems (see Note 1).

12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities



The Company is involved in various unresolved legal actions, administrative proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of
its business involving product liability, product warranty, property damage, insurance coverage, patents, and environmental matters. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of
possible loss or recovery, based upon current information, management believes these unresolved legal actions will not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.



The Company, as well as many other third parties, has been named as a
defendant in several lawsuits filed related to illnesses from exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing products. The complaints fail to specify which plaintiffs allegedly were involved with the Companys products, and because the cases are
in initial stages, it is uncertain whether any plaintiffs have asbestos-related illnesses or dealt with the Companys products, much less whether any plaintiffs were exposed to an asbestos-containing component part of the Companys product
or whether such part could have been a substantial contributing factor to the alleged illness. The Company is unable to estimate the amount of its exposure, if any, related to these claims at this time. The Company does not believe the ultimate
resolution of these issues will have a material adverse effect on the Companys net earnings or financial position. See Part II-Other Information, Item 1: Legal Proceedings.



The Company entered into contracts that contain guarantees that could require performance or payment under certain
conditions. The Company has entered into various agreements that require letters of credit for financial assurance purposes. These letters of credit are available to fund the payment of such obligations. At January 1, 2005, we had $4.3 million of
letters of credit outstanding with expiration dates ranging from one month to twelve months.



13. Subsequent Event



The Company and Advanced Metering Data Systems, L.L.C. (AMDS), a wireless connectivity company, entered into a marketing and sales agreement in January 2005. The terms of the agreement grant the Company exclusive rights in the
North American electric markets to market and sell the AMDS automated meter reading (AMR) systems, to manufacture electric meter modules for the iCon solid-state electricity meter, and to retrofit AMDS meter modules for currently installed
electromechanical electricity meters that are linked to the AMDS AMR fixed network. The agreement also grants the Company non-exclusive rights to AMDS technology for the North America gas and water markets. The agreement expires in 2014.

the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended January 1, 2005 and the related notes thereto included in this report and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2004 and related
notes thereto included in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 (SEC File No. 333-113658).



Unless we indicate otherwise, references below to we, us, our and Sensus Metering
Systems mean Sensus Metering Systems (Bermuda 2) Ltd. and its subsidiaries. Unless we indicate otherwise, we have rounded dollar amounts to the nearest hundred thousand dollars.



General



We are a leading provider of advanced metering and related communications systems to the worldwide utility industry and have over a century of experience
in designing and manufacturing metering products. We are the largest global manufacturer of water meters, the fastest growing segment of the metering industry, and have a substantial share of the sales of automatic metering reading, or AMR, devices
to North American water utilities. Additionally, we are a leading global developer and manufacturer of gas and heat metering systems and recently entered the North American electric metering market with iCon, our solid-state electricity meter. In
addition to our metering business, we believe that, through our Smith-Blair, Inc. subsidiary, we are the leading North American producer of pipe joining and repair products for water and natural gas utilities and, through our Sensus Precision Die
Casting, Inc. subsidiary, are a premier supplier of precision-manufactured, thin-wall, low-porosity aluminum die castings.



During the fiscal quarter and nine months ended January 1, 2005, we:



| |  |  | increased sales over the comparable periods in 2003 by 20% and 10%, respectively;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | more than doubled sales for iCon products over the comparable prior year nine-month period;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | maintained gross margin percentages at historic levels, despite double digit price increases worldwide for key materials;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | completed purchase accounting and goodwill adjustments related to the Acquisition;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continued restructuring activities in our European subsidiaries to align operations with current market conditions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | completed restructuring activities in South America to better align our footprint with market conditions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | successfully entered the Algerian water meter market through the formation of a joint venture; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | established a subsidiary in China to manufacture clamps and couplings.

History and the Acquisition



Although Sensus Metering Systems and its predecessors have been supplying metering and related products for over a century,
our current business was created in early 1999 when BTR plc and Siebe plc merged to form Invensys plc (Invensys). Since that merger, and until we acquired the metering systems and certain other businesses (Invensys Metering
Systems) from Invensys, our business was generally operated as a single product group within Invensys. During this time period, our business participated in various strategic initiatives implemented by Invensys, including customer development,
services, and project management and lean supply chain programs. We acquired Invensys Metering Systems on December 17, 2003 (see Note 1). Although we plan to continue our focus on improved operating efficiency, the programs previously implemented by
Invensys may be modified or terminated. As a result of such modifications or terminations and other factors, the historical results of operations of Invensys Metering Systems may not be indicative of our results of operations on a stand-alone basis.



Recent Restructuring and Cost Savings
Initiatives



Sensus Metering Systems and its
Predecessor have undertaken significant cost savings initiatives over the last several years to reduce their overall cost base and improve operating margins. Through January 1, 2005, we estimate that approximately 98% of our five-year restructuring
and cost reduction programs have been initiated and have realized approximately $40 million of cumulative annual cost savings since the programs initiation.



In fiscal 2005, we are continuing the implementation of these initiatives. We expect to incur additional restructuring costs
of approximately $1.5 million in fiscal 2005 to conclude the ongoing initiatives, generating savings in facility costs, direct labor costs, manufacturing overhead costs and general and administrative costs resulting in estimated annual savings of
$3.7 million. For the nine months ended January 1, 2005, we incurred $5.9 million of restructuring costs, primarily related to employee severance and exit activities.

Net Sales.
Sales increased $20.5 million, or approximately 20%, from $103.8 million in the combined fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003 to $124.3 million in the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005. For the nine months ended January 1, 2005, sales increased
$35.7 million, or approximately 10%, to $406.9 million from $371.2 million in the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003. Sales for the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005 are approximately 20% lower than the fiscal quarter ended September
30, 2004 due to business seasonality related to holiday closings, and to European water meter regulatory requirements that tend to shift sales to the first half of the calendar year. Favorable currency translation, due primarily to the appreciation
of the Euro against the U.S. dollar, accounted for additional sales of $4.1 million and $10.2 million for the fiscal quarter and nine months ended January 1, 2005, respectively. We continue to experience strong demand for metering systems, due to
continued growth of AMR applications and strong product sales for water, gas and electric meters. North American sales of water meters for the nine months ended January 1, 2005 increased by $16.1 million, or 11%, compared to the combined nine months
ended December 28, 2003, due primarily to continued buoyancy for AMR applications and products, with particular strength in large meter products. Gas meter sales in North America for the nine months ended January 1, 2005 increased by $6.5 million or
18% versus the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003. Electric meter sales continue to perform well in its first full year of operation with sales for the nine months ended January 1, 2005 more than doubling those reported for the combined
nine months ended December 28, 2003. The European water meter market delivered lower sales (net of favorable currency translation) of $3.9 million, or 12%, and $9.5 million, or 9%, for the fiscal quarter and nine months ended January 1, 2005,
respectively, as compared to the comparable prior year periods, due to pricing pressures and general market softness. Sales from our precision die casting products increased by $0.9 million, or 10%, compared to the prior year combined fiscal
quarter, and by $3.0 million, or 11%, compared to the prior year combined nine-month fiscal period. We were able to continue to leverage new platform offerings and to pass through aluminum indexed price increases to the top five suppliers to the
U.S. automotive industry, known as Tier 1 automotive suppliers, to generate increased sales. The combined fiscal quarter and nine months ended December 28, 2003, respectively, were also negatively impacted by the prior year strike at our precision
die casting plant. Pipe joining and repair products sales increased by $3.6 million, or 9%, compared to the prior year combined nine

months, primarily on the strength of increased production days and favorable pricing. Total company sales were favorably impacted as a result of the fiscal
periods ended January 1, 2005 containing 6 working days more than the prior year period.



Our top ten customers accounted for approximately 35% of net sales during the nine months ended January 1, 2005. Approximately 12% of net sales for the nine months ended January 1, 2005 were attributed to one customer
and its affiliates. No one affiliate accounted for more than 1% of net sales for the nine-month period.



We expect that net sales will be strong for the remainder of the fiscal year, with increases over the prior fiscal year due to demand for AMR systems,
restructuring efforts in South America, ongoing demand for iCon electric meters, expansion of precision die casting products and favorable general economic trends.



Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $10.7 million, or 43%, from $24.6 million for the combined fiscal quarter
ended December 28, 2003 to $35.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005, and increased as a percentage of sales by approximately 4 percentage points from 24% to 28% for the same periods. Gross profit increased by $9.9 million, or 9%,
from $109.7 million for the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003 to $119.6 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2005, and was unchanged as a percentage of sales at 29%. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of
favorable revenues more than offsetting increased worldwide material prices. Favorable foreign exchange rates due to the appreciation of the Euro versus the dollar, increased gross profit by $0.8 million and $2.3 million for the fiscal quarter and
nine months ended January 1, 2005, respectively, compared to the same combined periods in the prior year. Material cost, as a percentage of sales, increased 2.5 percentage points in the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005 compared to the combined
prior year period, and 2.4 percentage points in the nine months ended January 1, 2005 compared to the combined prior year period.



Factors affecting gross profit as a percentage of net sales were:



| |  |  | increased prices for aluminum, altered pricing mechanisms to automotive customers and increased natural gas prices negatively affected margins on precision die casting products and
gas meters, some of which are passed on to our customers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased percentage of electric meter sales, with comparatively lower gross profit margins than other products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | double digit price increases on key brass castings and steel components, negatively impacting water meter and pipe clamps and couplings gross margins;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | competitive pricing environments in European meter markets;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | softness in South American water meter markets, particularly in Brazil; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | offsets from favorable product mix and pricing actions within selected markets.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal quarter
ended January 1, 2005 decreased by $2.8 million, or approximately 10%, to $25.3 million, from $28.1 million for the combined fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003. Expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased from 27% to 21% for the combined
fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003 and the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended January 1, 2005 increased by $0.9 million, or approximately 1%, to $74.7
million, from $73.8 million for the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003. Expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased from 20% to 18% for the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003 and the nine months ended January 1, 2005,
respectively. The increase in expense was due partially to foreign currency translation that resulted in an increase in foreign-based administrative costs, as expressed in US dollars, of $2.9 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2005. Cost
conservation initiatives and restructuring programs partially offset the increases due to foreign currency translation. Selling, general and administrative expenses in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) were down $1.4 million, or 12%,
from the combined fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003 and were down $1.9 million, or 6%, for the 9 months ending January 1, 2005, excluding the impacts of foreign currency, due to prior restructuring efforts and continuous cost containment
activities designed to lower base operating expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in South America were $0.7 million lower for the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005 and were $0.6 million lower for the nine months ended January 1,
2005 compared to the combined periods ended December 28, 2003 due to positive results from restructuring programs. North American and Asia Pacific selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal quarter and nine months ended January 1,
2005 were essentially flat versus the combined periods ended December 28, 2003, inclusive of $2.0 million of year-to-date incremental research and development expenses in North America.

Restructuring and Other Similar Costs. Restructuring costs were constant at $1.4 million for the
fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005 in comparison to the combined fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003. Restructuring costs decreased by $3.7 million, or approximately 39%, from $9.6 million for the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003 to
$5.9 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2005. The decrease for the nine-month fiscal period compared to the prior year was primarily the result of the winding down of our European restructuring activities as plans to achieve our targeted
operational footprint in the region are either well underway or nearing completion. Actions to cease production at our facility in France, to rationalize our UK gas meter operation and to downsize our German manufacturing operations constitute the
majority of current year activities. We expect to incur additional restructuring costs of approximately $1.5 million through March 31, 2005.



Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased by $4.8 million from $0.6 million for the combined fiscal quarter
ended December 28, 2003 to $5.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005. Amortization of intangible assets increased by $15.1 million from $0.8 million for the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003 to $15.9 million for the nine
months ended January 1, 2005. Amortization expense primarily relates to the intangible assets recorded at the time of the Acquisition for non-competition agreements, customer relationships and patents (see Note 4). These intangible assets were not
recorded on the balance sheet of the Predecessor. As a result, the Predecessor did not incur significant amortization expense in the combined fiscal quarter or nine months ended December 28, 2003. We expect that amortization of intangible assets
will remain higher than historical levels of the Predecessor for the foreseeable future as a result of higher levels of intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions.



Other Operating Expense (Income). Other operating expense of $0.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended January 1,
2005 increased by $0.7 million compared to other operating income of $0.2 million for the combined fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003. The increase in other operating expense is related to a management fee of $0.5 million. Other operating
expense of $2.2 million for the nine-months ended January 1, 2005 increased by $3.6 million compared with other operating income of $1.4 million for the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003. The increase in expense is related primarily to
management fee and expenses of $1.6 million for the fiscal nine months ended January 1, 2005. In addition, $0.9 million of Brazilian transactional tax gains were recognized in the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003, which did not occur in
the current fiscal period. We expect that other operating expenses will remain higher than historical levels for the foreseeable future as a result of quarterly management fees.



Interest Income (Expense). Interest expense was $9.7 million for the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005 compared
with $2.6 million for the combined fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003. Debt incurred due to the Acquisition was only in place for a portion of the combined fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003. Net interest expense of $28.2 million for the
nine months ended January 1, 2005 increased by $26.6 million compared with $1.6 million for the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003. Prior to the Acquisition, the Predecessor had insignificant debt. The Acquisition was financed with $230.0
million in term loan financing and the issuance of $275.0 million of senior subordinated notes. The increase in interest expense is the result of the debt created to support the Acquisition. We expect that interest expense will remain higher than
historical levels of the Predecessor for the foreseeable future as a result of higher levels of debt incurred in connection with the Acquisition.



Other Non-Operating Income (Expense). Other non-operating income of $1.3 million for the fiscal quarter and nine months ended January 1, 2005
increase by $1.7 million and $1.6 million compared to the combined fiscal quarter and nine months ended December 28, 2003, respectively. The increase in other non-operating income is related primarily to net foreign exchange gains on intercompany
loans in Europe and South America.



Income Tax Expense.
Income tax expense for the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005 decreased by $9.3 million, or 135%, compared with the combined fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003 from $6.9 million to $(2.4) million. Income tax expense for the nine months ended
January 1, 2005 decreased by $15.4 million, or 75%, compared with the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003 from $20.4 million to $5.0 million. The decrease is primarily the result of lower earnings before taxes due to higher interest
expense. The current fiscal period effective tax rates were the result of income taxes being incurred on the taxable income of the Companys U.S. operations while no income tax benefit was recorded on the operating losses incurred in certain
foreign jurisdictions where the realization of related deferred tax assets is considered uncertain.

Minority Interest. Minority interest for the fiscal quarter and nine months ended January 1, 2005
and the combined fiscal quarter and nine months ended December 28, 2003 remained consistent and related to our partners share of earnings of our Algeria, China and India joint ventures.



Net Income (Loss). Net loss of $8.1 million for the fiscal quarter
ended January 1, 2005 improved by $6.9 million, or 46%, compared with a net loss of $15.0 million for the combined quarter ended December 28, 2003. Net loss of $11.5 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2005 was reduced by $15.6 million as
compared with the net income of $4.1 million for the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003 due primarily to:



| |  |  | higher interest expense incurred during the period;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | greater amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | losses from discontinued operations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | our inability to record an income tax benefit on foreign net operating loss carry-forwards in certain jurisdictions; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | management and one-time fees associated with the Acquisition.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



EBITDA. EBITDA increased by $14.3 million from $(0.6) million in the combined fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003 to $13.7 million in the fiscal
quarter ended January 1, 2005. EBITDA increased by $12.2 million, or approximately 31%, from $39.1 million in the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003 to $51.3 million in the nine months ended January 1, 2005. The increase in EBITDA during
the period is generally attributable to the following factors:



| |  |  | increased sales and the resulting increased gross profit;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | decreased selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, due to cost containment actions and the result of restructuring activities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reduced restructuring activities and expenses; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | favorable foreign currency translations due primarily to appreciation of the Euro.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The discussion of EBITDA is being provided because management considers EBITDA to be an important measure of financial
performance. Among other things, our management believes that EBITDA provides useful information for our investors because it is useful for trending, analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Management also believes that
EBITDA is useful in assessing current performance compared with the historical performance of our predecessor because significant line items within our income statements such as depreciation, amortization and interest expense are significantly
impacted by the Acquisition. Internally, EBITDA is used as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business and is an important measure in our incentive compensation plans. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



During the fiscal quarter and nine months ended January
1, 2005, we funded our operating and capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and cash on hand. Going forward, operating and capital requirements will be funded from a combination of cash on hand, cash flows
from operating activities and borrowings under our senior credit facilities.



Net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities for the nine months ended January 1, 2005 and the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003 was $5.4 million and $(29.7) million, respectively. The $35.1
million increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended January 1, 2005 as compared to the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003 was generated primarily by improved accounts receivable collections, reduction in
cash flow associated with other assets and reduced income taxes.

##### Table of Contents

Working capital as a percentage of net sales decreased to 14% for the nine months ended January 1, 2005
as compared with 16% for the combined nine months ended December 28, 2003. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in accrued interest expense.



Historically, cash used for investing activities has been used primarily for capital expenditures, business acquisitions and other investments, offset by
proceeds from the disposition of property, plant and equipment and business units. Capital expenditures were $14.6 million and $8.5 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2005 and the combined nine months ended December 28. 2003, respectively.
Capital expenditure requirements are comprised of equipment, molds and tooling for replacement and expenditures for cost reduction, maintenance, safety and expansion. For the full fiscal year 2005, we expect to make capital expenditures of
approximately $21.0 million reflecting a shift from maintenance level capital expenditures of Invensys to a more growth-focused capital expenditure program. The Company acquired certain assets of Nexus for cash payments of $6.0 million, including
cash payments of $1.0 million made in the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005. Cash flow from investing activities also increased due to a net cash receipt of $7.0 million and corresponding reduction to the purchase price related to the final
purchase price adjustment for the Acquisition from Invensys (see Note 1) and, due to cash receipts of $2.1 million for the sale of business units and selected assets.



Cash expenditures for restructuring for the nine months ended January 1, 2005 and the combined nine months ended December
28, 2003 amounted to $7.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively. As of January 1, 2005, we had $8.1 million of restructuring accruals reflected on our balance sheet. Additional restructuring costs of approximately $1.5 million are expected to be
incurred in fiscal 2005 as the current restructuring programs near completion.



Historically, cash provided by or used in financing activities represented payments to or funding from Invensys, and changes in indebtedness to third parties. As a result of the Acquisition, we incurred substantial
third-party indebtedness. Our senior credit facilities provide for senior secured financing of $296.6 million, consisting of (a) two term loan facilities in an aggregate amount of $226.6 million, including a $197.0 million U.S. term loan facility
and a $29.6 million European term loan facility and, (b) two revolving credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $70.0 million, under one of which $40.0 million is available to Sensus in the form of U.S. dollar-denominated loans and under the
other of which $30.0 million is available in the form of U.S. dollar-denominated loans, or in the form of Euro- or UK sterling-denominated loans. The term loan facilities will mature on December 17, 2010. Borrowing costs under the term loan facility
are based on variable rates tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a specified margin, or the greater of the Prime Rate and the Federal Funds Effective Rate (Alternative Base Rate) plus a margin. Up to $30.0
million of the revolving credit facilities is available in the form of letters of credit. Amounts repaid under the revolving credit facilities may be re-borrowed (subject to satisfaction of the applicable borrowing conditions) at any time prior to
the maturity of the revolving credit facilities, which will be six years after the closing date.



As of January 1, 2005, we had approximately $501.6 million of total indebtedness outstanding, consisting of $275.0 million in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes, $197.0 million under the U.S. term loan facility and $29.6 million under the European term loan facility. Interest accrues on the Notes at the rate of 85/8% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 until the Notes mature on December 15, 2013. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs,
was approximately $9.7 million and $28.2 million for the fiscal quarter and nine months ended January 1, 2005, respectively. There are no payments due or scheduled on the term loan facilities until September 2005. As a result of an amendment to the
Credit Agreement in October 2004, the interest rate margin was reduced by 50 basis points for both LIBOR and Alternate Base Rate borrowings. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility at January 1, 2005; however, $4.3
million of the facility was utilized in connection with outstanding letters of credit. We are in compliance with all credit facility covenants at January 1, 2005.



We believe that cash on hand and cash flow we expect from operations, together with available borrowings under the revolving
credit facilities constituting part of our senior secured credit facilities, will provide sufficient funds to enable us to fund our planned capital expenditures, make scheduled principal and interest payments and meet our other cash requirements for
the foreseeable future.

##### Table of Contents

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal of, or to pay interest on, or to refinance, our
indebtedness, including the Notes, or to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and
other factors that are beyond our control.



Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk



The following discussion about our market risk disclosures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. We are exposed to various
market risk factors such as fluctuating interest rates and changes in foreign currency rates. At present we do not utilize any derivative instruments to manage this risk.



Currency translation. The results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the
average exchange rates for each period concerned. This translation has no impact on cash flow. The balance sheets of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rates. Any adjustments resulting from the translation
are recorded as other comprehensive income. As of January 1, 2005, assets of foreign subsidiaries constituted approximately 20% of total assets. Foreign currency exchange rate exposure is most significant with respect to the Euro. For the fiscal
quarter and nine months ended January 1, 2005, net sales were positively impacted by the appreciation of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, versus the U.S. dollar by approximately $4.1 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Similarly, for the
combined fiscal quarter and nine months ended December 28, 2003, net sales were positively impacted by the appreciation of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, versus the U.S. dollar by approximately $6.8 million and $20.8 million, respectively.



Currency transaction exposure. Currency transaction
exposure arises where a business or company makes actual sales and/or purchases in a currency other than its own functional currency. The majority of our businesses source raw materials and sell their products within their local markets in their
functional currencies and therefore have limited transaction exposure.



Interest rate risk. Historically, the business of our predecessor was exposed to market risk relating to changes in interest rates relating to intercompany funding receivable and payable balances with its other affiliates, which
carried variable interest rates. Subsequent to the Acquisition, we have a significant amount of debt, with a large portion being at variable rates. Total debt as of January 1, 2005 was $501.6 million, of which approximately $226.6 million bears
interest at variable rates. As of January 1, 2005, the weighted average interest rate on our variable-rate term debt was 4.4%. Variable-rate borrowings under the senior credit facilities are, at our option, at the adjusted LIBOR plus 2.50% or the
alternative base rate plus 1.50%. Holding all other variables constant, an increase in the interest rate of 1.0% on variable rate debt would increase annual interest cost by $2.3 million. We have not sought to hedge exposure to variable interest
rates.



Item 4.
Controls and Procedures



We have
assigned a high priority to the short-term and long-term improvement or enhancement of our internal controls over financial reporting. The process began in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 with the development of replacement services and systems
that are key for financial functions at our headquarters resulting from the separation from Invensys plc.



During the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2005, we have implemented internal control improvements over our accounting and financial reporting processes.
The internal control changes implemented during the third fiscal quarter are:



| |  |  | Developing and implementing standardized account reconciliation and analysis procedures;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Developing an authorization policy and procedure; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Evaluating the information systems utilized to report and consolidate financial information.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal
control over financial reporting on an on-going basis and will take further action and implement improvements, as necessary. In addition to the foregoing actions, we have begun the process of:



| |  |  | Developing an accounting policies and procedures system;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Planning and staffing for activities in support of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Developing formal standards of conduct.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



Pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) promulgated
thereunder, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation
Date). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level, as of the Evaluation Date, to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1:
Legal Proceedings



Smith-Blair,
Inc., our subsidiary, was named a defendant in an action filed in the Supreme Court of New York County, New York on December 5, 2001 (James Trodden v. Consolidated Edison of New York, Felix Industries and Smith-Blair, Inc.) whereby the plaintiff
seeks $10 million in damages for alleged personal injuries arising from an underground gas explosion of a pipeline that included one of our products. As of January 1, 2005, the case remains subject to a stay resulting from the bankruptcy of a
co-defendant. Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement for the acquisition of Invensys Metering Systems, we are entitled to full indemnification from the sellers for this lawsuit.



Our subsidiary, Sensus Metering Systems-North America Inc., along with as
many as 200 or more other companies, is a defendant in several lawsuits filed in various state courts in Mississippi by groups of plaintiffs alleging illnesses from exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing products and seeking unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages. Because the cases are in initial stages, it is uncertain whether any plaintiffs have dealt with any of the subsidiarys products, were exposed to an asbestos-containing component part of a product of the
subsidiary or whether such part could have been a contributing factor to the alleged illness. Four such proceedings have been dismissed to date. There have been no other settlements, verdicts, judgments, or dismissals of these claims. Although we
are entitled to indemnification for legal and indemnity costs for asbestos claims related to these products from certain subsidiaries of Invensys pursuant to the stock purchase agreement for the acquisition of Invensys Metering Systems, such
indemnities, when aggregated with all other indemnity claims, are limited to the purchase price paid by us in connection with the Acquisition.



In addition, we are, from time to time, party to legal proceedings arising out of the operation of our business. We believe that an adverse outcome of our
existing legal proceedings, including the proceedings described above, would not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operation. Nevertheless, unexpected adverse future events, such as an unforeseen
development in our existing proceedings, a significant increase in the number of new cases or changes in our current insurance arrangements could result in liabilities that have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or
results of operations.
