The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in affiliated owned 20% or more are accounted for by the equity method Inventories. Substantially all domestic inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Other inventories are priced at the lower of average cost or market. Intangibles. The excess of cost of investments over net assets of purchased companies is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding forty years. Plant Assets. Alterations and major overhauls which substantially extend the lives of properties or materially increase their capacity are capitalized. The amounts for property disposals are removed from plant asset and accumulated depreciation accounts and any resultant gain or loss is included in earnings. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to operating costs. Depreciation. Depreciation provided in costs and expenses is on the straight-line method. The United States, Canadian and certain other foreign companies use accelerated methods of depreciation for income tax purposes. Pension Plans. Pension costs are accrued over employees' careers based on plan benefit formulas. Cash and Cash Equivalents. All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are classified as Cash Equivalents. Financial Instruments. In managing interest rate exposure, the Company at times enters into interest rate swap agreements. When interest rates change, the difference to be paid or received is accrued and recognized as interest expense over the life of the agreement. In order to hedge foreign currency exposures on firm commitments, the Company at times enters into forward foreign exchange contracts. Gains and losses resulting from these instruments are recognized in the same period as the underlying hedged transaction. The Company also at times enters into foreign currency swap agreements which are effective as hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these currency swaps are recognized in the Cumulative Translation Adjustments account in Shareowners.

The excess of cost of investments over net assets of purchased companies is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding forty years. Plant Assets. Alterations and major overhauls which substantially extend the lives of properties or materially increase their capacity are capitalized.

Ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to operating costs. Depreciation. Depreciation provided in costs and expenses is on the straight-line method. The United States, Canadian and certain other foreign companies use accelerated methods of depreciation for income tax purposes. Pension Plans. Pension costs are accrued over employees' careers based on plan benefit formulas. Cash and Cash Equivalents. All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are classified as Cash Equivalents. Financial Instruments.

When interest rates change, the difference to be paid or received is accrued and recognized as interest expense over the life of the agreement. In order to hedge foreign currency exposures on firm commitments, the Company at times enters into forward foreign exchange contracts. Gains and losses resulting from these instruments are recognized in the same period as the underlying hedged transaction.
