FMC Technologies, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The following (a) condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) unaudited interim condensed financial statements, and notes thereto (the “statements”), of FMC Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“FMC Technologies”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by United States generally accepted accounting principles can be condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In the opinion of management, the statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition and operating results as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these statements may not be representative of those for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period’s presentation. In 2007, we incurred unrealized gains and losses on the interest rate component of currency forwards, which we classified in cost of sales. We reclassified the portion of these unrealized gains and losses related to revenue contracts of $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from cost of sales to revenue. The unrealized gains and losses in revenue are presented as other revenue in the business segment disclosure.

On October 29, 2007, we announced our intention to separate into two independent publicly-traded companies through the spin-off and distribution of 100% of our FoodTech and Airport Systems businesses to our shareholders. The transaction, expected to be tax-free to shareholders, is expected to enable the two public companies to better focus on their distinct customer bases, business strategies and operational needs. We have filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of John Bean Technologies Corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary consisting of the FoodTech and Airport Systems business segments. The separation, expected to occur in mid-2008, will not require a vote by FMC Technologies shareholders.

Note 2: Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

The following schedule is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted EPS computations:

 

(In millions, except per share data)		Three Months Ended March 31,

(In millions)		March 31, 2008				December 31, 2007
Raw materials		$	223.7			$	198.7
Work in process			162.6				148.2

Note 4: Derivative Financial Instruments

The following table of all outstanding derivative instruments is based on estimated fair value amounts that have been determined using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts that we would realize in a current market exchange and do not represent potential gains or losses on these agreements.

 

		March 31, 2008						December 31, 2007
(In millions)		Short Term			Long Term			Short Term			Long Term
Assets		$	273.4		$	207.5		$	159.2		$	106.0
Liabilities		$	207.3		$	156.8		$	110.0		$	72.0

Hedge ineffectiveness and the portion of cash flow hedges excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness were a net loss of $13.5 million and a net gain of $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Gains and losses are recorded in revenue and cost of sales based on the transaction hedged on the consolidated statements of income and are reported in other revenue in the reconciliation of segment operating profit to income before income taxes.

Gains and losses related to discontinued hedging relationships were a loss of $1.2 million and a gain of $1.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These gains and losses are recorded in cost of sales on the consolidated statements of income and in segment operating profit in the reconciliation of segment operating profit to income before income taxes.

Cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions, net of tax, resulted in accumulated other comprehensive income of $52.7 million, and $30.3 million at March 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively. We expect to transfer approximately $28.1 million of that amount to earnings during the next 12 months when the forecasted transactions actually occur. All forecasted transactions currently being hedged are expected to occur by 2012.

The losses, net of remeasurement of assets and liabilities, recorded in earnings for instruments not designated as hedging instruments were $1.9 million, and $0.6 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These losses are recorded in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of income and in other expense, net in the reconciliation of segment operating profit to income before income taxes.

(1)

Committed credit available under our five-year revolving credit facility maturing in December 2012 provided the ability to refinance our commercial paper obligations on a long-term basis. Therefore, at March 31, 2008, as we have both the ability and intent to refinance these obligations on a long-term basis, our commercial paper borrowings were classified as long-term on the consolidated balance sheet. Commercial paper borrowings as of March 31, 2008 had an average interest rate of 3.5%.

Note 6: Warranty Obligations

We provide warranties of various lengths and terms to certain of our customers based on standard terms and conditions and negotiated agreements. We provide for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized for products where reliable, historical experience of warranty claims and costs exists. We also provide warranty liability when additional specific obligations are identified. The obligation reflected in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets is based on historical experience by product and considers failure rates and the related costs in correcting a product failure. Warranty cost and accrual information is as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)		2008				2007
Balance at beginning of period		$	25.0			$	18.6

Net periodic benefit cost		$	(0.2	)		$	(0.2	)

Note 8: Stock-Based Compensation

We sponsor a stock-based compensation plan and have granted awards primarily in the form of nonvested stock awards (also known as restricted stock in the plan document). We recognize compensation expense for awards under the plan and the corresponding income tax benefits related to the expense. The recorded amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

 

(In millions)		2008			2007
Restricted stock		$	6.1		$	4.9
Other			0.3			0.3
Total stock-based compensation expense		$	6.4		$	5.2

In the three months ended March 31, 2008, we granted the following restricted stock awards to employees (presented at target payout amounts):

 

(Number of restricted stock shares in thousands)		Shares			Weighted- average grant date fair value
Time-based		201
Performance-based		89	*
Market-based		44	*
Granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008		334			$	53.66

 

*	Assumes target payout

We granted time-based restricted stock awards that cliff vest after three years. The fair value of these time-based awards was determined using the market value of our common stock on the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized over the lesser of the stated vesting period or the period until the employee reaches age 62, the retirement eligible age under the plan. We also granted restricted stock awards with performance-based and market-based conditions. The vesting period for these awards is three years.

For current year performance-based awards, actual payouts may vary from zero to 177 thousand shares and will be dependent upon our performance relative to a peer group of companies with respect to earnings growth and return on investment for the year ending December 31, 2008. Compensation cost is measured based on the current expected outcome of the performance conditions and may be adjusted until the performance period ends.

For current year market-based awards, actual payouts may vary from zero to 89 thousand shares, contingent upon our performance relative to the same peer group of companies with respect to total shareholder return for the year ending December 31, 2008. Compensation cost for these awards is calculated using the grant date fair market value, as estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation, and is not subject to change based on future events.

Note 9: Stockholders’ Equity

There were no dividends declared during the three months ended March 31, 2008 or 2007.

We have been authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase up to 30 million shares of our issued and outstanding common stock. Through March 31, 2008, we made the following purchases under the buyback program:

Note 10: Fair Value of Financial Assets

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). We adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008 with respect to financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value within the condensed consolidated financial statements and deferred the adoption for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until January 1, 2009. Accordingly, the provisions of SFAS No. 157 were not applied to long-lived assets, assets and liabilities held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets measured for impairment testing purposes.

The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

•

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

•

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

 

•

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

 

(In millions)		March 31, 2008			Level 1			Level 2			Level 3
Assets
Investments		$	33.4		$	33.4		$	—		$	—
Derivatives			480.9			—			480.9			—
Total assets		$	514.3		$	33.4		$	480.9		$	—
Liabilities
Derivatives		$	364.1		$	—		$	364.1		$	—

Investments are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. We use the income approach as the valuation technique to measure the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change from the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency and interest rates, multiplied by the contract notional values.

Note 11: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

We are named defendants in a number of multi-defendant, multi-plaintiff tort lawsuits. Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement with FMC Corporation, which contains key provisions relating to our 2001 spin-off from FMC Corporation, FMC Corporation is required to indemnify us for certain claims made prior to the spin-off, as well as for other claims related to discontinued operations. We expect that FMC Corporation will bear responsibility for the majority of these claims. Claims of this nature have also been asserted subsequent to the spin-off. While the ultimate responsibility for all of these claims cannot yet be determined due to lack of identification of the products or premises involved, we also expect that FMC Corporation will bear responsibility for a majority of these claims initiated subsequent to the spin-off.

In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors and others, we issue standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds and other guarantees. The majority of these financial instruments represent guarantees of our future performance. Management does not expect these financial instruments to result in losses, if any, that would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

*	Not meaningful

Our total revenue for the first quarter of 2008 reflects growth in all business segments compared to the same period in 2007. Our Energy Production Systems businesses provided $244.0 million of the $313.2 million increase. We benefited from high demand for equipment and systems, especially subsea systems, used in the major oil and gas producing regions throughout the world. Oil and gas prices remain high relative to historical levels, creating incentives for investment in the energy industry. The favorable market conditions related to continued strong oil and gas prices drove higher demand in our Energy Processing Systems businesses, providing $30.7 million in incremental revenue compared to 2007. Additionally, Airport Services revenues increased by $34.9 million from the prior year period primarily reflecting the execution of backlog. Of the increase in total revenue, $103.0 million was attributable to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation.

 

13

---

Gross profit (revenue less cost of sales) increased because of volume improvement, primarily in our Energy Systems’ businesses; however, cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased from 78.5% in the first quarter of 2007 to 80.1% for the same period in 2008. The margin decline is primarily a result of a non-cash, mark-to-market loss on foreign currency forward contracts reported as a reduction in revenue during the quarter. It is expected that the foreign currency forward contracts will be held to maturity and that the loss will reverse over the term of the contracts. Of the increase in cost of sales, $85.9 million was attributable to foreign currency translation.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the first quarter of 2008 increased compared to the same period in 2007, but declined as a percentage of sales from 10.6% in 2007 to 9.2% in 2008. Higher costs in our Energy Production Systems businesses were primarily responsible for the dollar increase, the result of increased headcount required to support growth in this business segment and higher bid costs. While we have expanded our operations to meet the growing demand, we have been able to reduce expenses as a percentage of revenue by leveraging our existing capabilities. Of the increase in selling, general and administrative expense, $5.6 million was attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Net interest expense for the first quarter of 2008 was lower compared to the same period in 2007, primarily as a result of lower average debt levels.

Outlook

We estimate that our full-year 2008 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations will be within the range of $2.80 to $2.90, including FoodTech and Airport Systems, but excluding estimated costs of $0.08 to $0.10 associated with the planned spin-off. This estimate includes results of operations for FoodTech and Airport Systems, which we expect to spin off during 2008.

Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff expense, interest income and expense associated with corporate investments and debt facilities, income taxes and other revenue and other expense, net.

Energy Production Systems

Energy Production Systems’ revenue was $244.0 million higher in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Segment revenue is affected by the execution of backlog and trends in land and offshore oil and gas exploration and production, including shallow and deepwater development. The continued high demand for energy resulted in further exploration and production development activity. Subsea systems revenue of $699.1 million increased $225.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2007 driving the majority of the revenue increase in Energy Productions Systems. Subsea systems’ higher volumes reflect progress on new and ongoing projects located offshore West Africa, in the North Sea, in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Brazil. Foreign currency translation contributed $86.3 million of the revenue increase, predominantly within subsea systems revenue.

Energy Production Systems’ operating profit increased by $33.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The increase reflects $40.0 million in higher gross profits attributable to increased volume, primarily from subsea systems. Offsetting the increase was $9.1 million in higher selling, general and administrative expenses reflecting higher staffing levels in support of increased sales demand and business development.

Energy Processing Systems

Energy Processing Systems’ revenue increased by $30.7 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007. The increase was driven by higher volume in each business within the segment, reflecting continued strength in both oil and gas prices and world-wide land-based drilling activity.

Energy Processing Systems’ operating profit in the first quarter of 2008 increased by $9.0 million compared to the same period in 2007. Approximately $8.5 million of the increase is directly attributable to higher measurement and fluid control products sales volumes. Additionally, improved operating efficiency contributed to the increased profitability, partially offset by higher selling and administrative costs resulting from increased commission expense and higher staffing levels in support of increased sales demand.

FoodTech

FoodTech’s revenue increased by $25.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Demand in Latin America from poultry processors was the main driver of revenue increase, contributing $11.6 million in incremental revenue. In addition, foreign currency translation caused $8.6 million in incremental revenue. The remaining revenue increase reflects increased deliveries of food processing equipment from year end backlog existing at the beginning of 2008 as compared to 2007, as orders remained relatively flat quarter over quarter. Higher revenue in European markets offset declines in North American markets.

FoodTech’s operating profit increased by $3.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Higher sales volume contributed $7.3 million in higher profits which were partly offset by higher production costs, related to the decline in the value of U.S. dollar, and higher selling, general and administrative costs.

Airport Systems

Airport Systems’ revenue increased by $34.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Higher levels of air traffic in 2007 drove higher demand for our products, which resulted in strong backlog at the end of 2007 compared to year-end 2006. Many of these orders were converted into sales in the first quarter 2008 which resulted in higher revenue for airline ground support equipment ($24.5 million) and passenger boarding bridges ($9.5 million).

Airport Systems’ operating profit improved by $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, primarily as a result of the higher volumes. Gross profit margins were relatively stable compared to the prior year. Although other expenses were above prior year levels, they did not grow at the same rate as revenue as we were able to leverage the higher volume, which resulted in increased operating profit margins quarter over quarter.

Corporate Items

Our corporate items reduced earnings by $35.1 million in 2008 compared to $13.3 million in the same period of 2007. The increase in expense in 2008 primarily reflects a non-cash, mark-to-market loss on foreign currency forward contracts of $13.5 million compared to a gain in the prior-year quarter of $4.0 million. To a lesser extent, we incurred $2.7 million in expenses during the quarter related to the planned spin-off of the FoodTech and Airport Systems businesses.

Intercompany eliminations			(1.4	)			(1.2	)			(1.9	)
Total order backlog		$	4,975.9			$	4,881.7			$	2,985.0

Energy Production Systems’ order backlog at March 31, 2008 increased by $59.2 million since year-end 2007 reflecting higher subsea project orders, and continues to include StatoilHydro Ormen Lange Phase II, Vega and Troll O2, Woodside Pluto, Shell Perdido and Gumusut, and Petrobras Cascade projects. The record high backlog of $4.2 billion at March 31, 2008 includes the same projects mentioned above plus Petrobras Roncador Module 3 Field and Kosmos Mahagany, which were new orders received during the quarter.

Energy Processing Systems’ order backlog at March 31, 2008 increased $54.0 million since December 31, 2007, and $51.8 million since March 31, 2007, attributable to higher demand for material handling products.

FoodTech’s order backlog at March 31, 2008 is relatively consistent with December 31, 2007 backlog, but down 10 percent from the prior year, with similar levels of inbound orders and revenue in each of the quarters presented.

Airport Systems’ order backlog at March 31, 2008 has decreased by $20.8 million compared with December 31, 2007 backlog. Almost 50% of the year-end backlog was converted to sales in the first quarter of 2008 and new orders in the quarter did not fully replace the converted backlog. Compared to the prior year, orders for ground support equipment were down, partially offset by an order for additional Halvorsen cargo loaders from the U.S. Government.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We generate our capital resources primarily through operations, and when needed, through various credit facilities.

We were in a net cash position at March 31, 2008. Net debt, or net cash, is a non-GAAP measure reflecting debt, net of cash and cash equivalents. Management uses this non-GAAP measure to evaluate our capital structure and financial leverage. We believe that net debt, or net cash, is a meaningful measure of our financial leverage and will assist investors in understanding our results and recognizing underlying trends. This measure supplements disclosures required by GAAP. The following table provides details of the balance sheet classifications included in net cash.

 

16

---

(In millions)		March 31, 2008				December 31, 2007
Cash and cash equivalents		$	258.8			$	129.5
Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt			(8.5	)			(7.2	)
Long-term debt, less current portion			(214.1	)			(112.2	)
Related party note payable			(10.6	)			(9.9	)
Net cash		$	25.6			$	0.2

The increase in net cash was due in part to lower working capital, which more than offset the repurchases of our common stock and capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Cash Flows

During the first quarter of 2008, we generated $142.2 million in cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations compared to $8.2 million during the prior year period. Increased net income and lower investments in working capital, driven mostly by significant advance payments for long-term projects, contributed to the 2008 increase. Our working capital balances can vary significantly quarter to quarter depending on the payment terms and timing of delivery on key contracts.

During the March 2008 quarter, cash flows required by investing activities of continued operations totaled $45.6 million, primarily consisting of amounts required to fund capital expenditures. Capital expenditures increased from the prior year period, reflecting investment in subsea intervention assets, principally for Energy Production Systems. Additionally, proceeds from the disposal of assets during the first quarter of 2008 were $1.5 million compared to $60.7 million, which included the sale and leaseback of land and property in Houston, Texas, during the first quarter of 2007.

Cash provided by financing activities was $31.1 million for the first quarter of 2008. We repurchased 1.6 million shares for $88.8 million under our 30 million share repurchase authorization. To fund these repurchases, we drew a net $102.0 million under our commercial paper program. Additionally, we recognized excess tax benefits of $14.9 million during the first quarter of 2008 related to stock awards that vested or were exercised.

Debt and Liquidity

The following is a summary of our credit facilities at March 31, 2008:

 

(In millions) Description		Commitment Amount			Debt Outstanding			Commercial Paper Outstanding			Letters of Credit			Unused Capacity			Maturity
								(a)			(b)
Five-year revolving credit facility		$	600.0		$	—		$	205.0		$	22.9		$	372.1		December 2012
One-year revolving credit facility			5.0			—			—			—			5.0		December 2008
		$	605.0		$	—		$	205.0		$	22.9		$	377.1

 

(a)	Under our commercial paper program, we have the ability to access up to $400.0 million of short-term financing though our commercial paper dealers. Our available capacity under our $600 million five-year revolving credit facility is reduced by any outstanding commercial paper.

(b)	The $600 million five-year revolving credit facility allows us to obtain a total of $150.0 million in standby letters of credit. Our available capacity is reduced by any outstanding letters of credit associated with this facility.

Committed credit available under our five-year revolving credit facility maturing in December 2012 provided the ability to refinance our commercial paper obligations on a long-term basis. Therefore, at March 31, 2008, as we have both the ability and intent to refinance these obligations on a long-term basis, our commercial paper borrowings were classified as long-term on the consolidated balance sheet.

Outlook

We plan to meet our cash requirements in the remainder of 2008 with cash generated from operations. We intend to continue to expand our Energy Systems operating facilities and our subsea intervention assets and project to spend approximately $165.0 million to carry out these activities. Additionally, we intend to contribute $50.0 million to our pension plans in 2008. Further, we expect to continue our stock repurchases authorized by our Board, with the timing and amounts of these repurchases dependent upon market conditions.

 

17

---

We have committed credit facilities totaling $605.0 million which we expect to utilize if working capital temporarily increases in response to market demand, and when opportunities for business acquisitions or mergers meet our standards. We continue to evaluate acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures in the ordinary course of business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, there were no material changes in our judgments and assumptions associated with the development of our critical accounting estimates.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” replacing SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141R changes or clarifies the acquisition method of accounting for acquired contingencies, transaction costs, step acquisitions, restructuring costs and other major areas affecting how the acquirer recognizes and measures the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. In addition, this pronouncement amends previous interpretations of intangible asset accounting by requiring the capitalization of in-process research and development and proscribing impacts to current income tax expense (rather than a reduction to goodwill) for changes in deferred tax benefits related to a business combination. SFAS No. 141R will be applied prospectively for business combinations occurring after December 31, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 will standardize the accounting for and reporting of minority interests in the financial statements, which will be presented as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. In addition, statements of operations will report consolidated net income before an allocation to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. This new presentation will have an impact on the basic financial statements as well as the disclosures to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owner. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on our results of operations or financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities— an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures regarding derivative instruments and hedging activities, enabling a better understanding of their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and is effective for us at January 1, 2009.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in reported market risks from the information reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the direction of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2008. We have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were

 

i)

effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and

 

ii)

effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in controls identified in the evaluation for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors

FMC Technologies, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of FMC Technologies, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries as of March 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

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

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of FMC Technologies, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 29, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
