Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
     As further discussed in Note 21 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company”) condensed consolidated financial statements have been modified to add Note 21 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. In connection with the anticipated registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of the 71/2% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Exchange Notes”) to be issued by Spirit AeroSystems, Inc., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Spirit”), in exchange for Spirit’s outstanding 71/2% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Original Notes” and together with the Exchange Notes, the “Notes”), this additional note to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements provides condensed consolidating financial information in accordance with Rule 3-10(d) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The financial information contained in Note 21 does not reflect events occurring after November 6, 2009, the date of the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended October 1, 2009 (the “Quarterly Report”) and does not modify or update those disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events. For a discussion of events and developments subsequent to the filing date of the Quarterly Report, please refer to the reports and other information the Company has filed with the SEC since that date.

1. Organization and Basis of Interim Presentation
     Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 7, 2005, and commenced operations on June 17, 2005 through the acquisition of The Boeing Company’s (“Boeing”) operations in Wichita, Kansas, Tulsa, Oklahoma and McAlester, Oklahoma (the “Boeing Acquisition”). Holdings provides manufacturing and design expertise in a wide range of products and services for aircraft original equipment manufacturers and operators through its subsidiary, Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. (“Spirit”). Onex Corporation (“Onex”) of Toronto, Canada maintains majority voting power of Holdings. In April 2006, Holdings acquired the aerostructures division of BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (“BAE Aerostructures”), which builds structural components for Airbus, Boeing and Hawker Beechcraft Corporation. Prior to this acquisition, Holdings sold essentially all of its production to Boeing. Since Spirit’s incorporation, the Company has expanded its customer base to include Sikorsky, Rolls-Royce, Gulfstream, Bombardier, Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation, Southwest Airlines, and Continental Airlines. The Company has its headquarters in Wichita, Kansas, with manufacturing facilities in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma, Prestwick, Scotland, and in Wichita. Spirit opened a new manufacturing facility in Subang, Malaysia in early 2009 for the production of composite panels for wing components and expects to open another manufacturing facility in Kinston, North Carolina in 2010 that will initially produce components for the Airbus A350 XWB aircraft. Spirit is building an assembly plant for the A350 XWB aircraft in Saint-Nazaire, France, which is expected to be operational in 2010.
     Spirit is the majority participant in the Kansas Industrial Energy Supply Company (“KIESC”), a tenancy-in-common with other Wichita companies established to purchase natural gas.
     Spirit participates in two joint ventures, Spirit-Progresstech LLC (“Spirit-Progresstech”) and Taikoo Spirit AeroSystems Composite Co. Ltd. (“TSACCL”), of which Spirit’s ownership interest is 50% and 31.5%, respectively. Spirit-Progresstech provides aerospace engineering support services and TSACCL was formed to develop and implement a state of the art composite and metal bond component repair station in the Asia-Pacific region.
     The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s financial statements and the financial statements of its majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Investments in business entities in which the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally 20% to 50% ownership), including Spirit-Progresstech and TSACCL, are accounted for under the equity method. KIESC is fully consolidated as Spirit owns 77.8% of the entity’s equity. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Spirit’s U.K. subsidiary uses local currency, the British pound, as its functional currency. All other foreign subsidiaries use local currency as their functional currency with the exception of our Malaysian subsidiary, which uses the British pound, and our French subsidiary, which uses the U.S. dollar.
     As part of the monthly consolidation process, the functional currencies of our international subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the end-of-month translation rate for balance sheet accounts and average period currency translation rates for revenue and income accounts.
     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the nine months ended October 1, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements and notes to conform to the 2009 presentation. The Company adjusted its balance sheet to reflect retrospective presentation of noncontrolling interests from Other liabilities to the Shareholders’ equity section at October 1, 2009, and December 31, 2008, in accordance with reporting requirements under authoritative guidance related to the nature and classification of noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statement of financial position. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or statement of cash flows. In connection with the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and in accordance with the recently issued authoritative guidance, the Company evaluated subsequent events through November 6, 2009, which is the date these financial statements were issued. Updated authoritative guidance pertaining to earnings per share was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2009.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements
     In the third quarter of 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The ASC is the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, other than guidance issued by the SEC. The adoption of the ASC did not have any impact on the financial statements included herein.
     In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance prescribing the period after the balance sheet date during which management should evaluate transactions for potential recognition, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and the required disclosures an entity should make about transactions or events occurring after the balance sheet date. This statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
     In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value, when the volume and activity for the asset and liability have significantly decreased. This guidance also includes assistance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ended after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective for the period ended July 2, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. See Note 10 for the Company’s disclosures about its derivative and hedging activities.
     In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance also amended guidance on interim reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective for the period ended July 2, 2009. See Note 11 for the Company’s disclosures about its estimated fair value on its financial instruments and long-term debt.
     In November 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which addressed the accounting for equity method investments as a result of the accounting changes prescribed by previous guidance. This guidance clarified the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
     In March 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to derivatives and hedging, which requires disclosures of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance effective January 1, 2009. See Note 10 for the Company’s disclosures about its derivative and hedging activities.
     In February 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which partially delayed the adoption of fair value measurement guidance until January 1, 2009 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The guidance also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. As a result of adopting this guidance in first quarter of 2009, the Company adjusted its balance sheet to reflect retrospective presentation prescribed by the guidance of noncontrolling interests in the amount of $0.5 from Other liabilities to the Shareholders’ equity section at April 2, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Company considered guidance related to accounting changes and error corrections to ensure this change in accounting principle is properly accounted for. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or statement of cash flows.

     Capitalized pre-production costs include certain costs, including applicable overhead, incurred before a product is manufactured on a recurring basis. These costs are typically recovered over a certain number of ship set deliveries and the Company believes these amounts will be fully recovered.
     At October 1, 2009, work-in-process inventory included $398.1 of deferred production costs, which is comprised of $314.9 related to B787, $94.7 on certain other contracts for the excess of production costs over the estimated average cost per ship set, and ($11.5) of credit balances for favorable variances on other contracts between actual costs incurred and the estimated average cost per ship set for units delivered under the current production blocks. These balances were $162.0, including $169.4 related to the B787 and $30.6 for certain other contracts, and ($38.0) of credit balances for favorable variances on other contracts between actual costs incurred and the estimated cost per ship set for units delivered under the current production blocks, respectively, at December 31, 2008. Recovery of excess over average deferred production costs is dependent on the number of ship sets ultimately sold and the ultimate selling prices and lower production costs associated with future production under these contract blocks. The Company believes these amounts will be fully recovered.
     Sales significantly under estimates or costs significantly over estimates could result in the realization of losses on these contracts in future periods.
     The following is a roll forward of the inventory obsolescence and surplus reserve included in the inventory balances at October 1, 2009:

6. Current Portion of Long-Term Receivable
     In connection with the Boeing Acquisition, Boeing is required to make future non-interest bearing payments to Spirit attributable to the acquisition of title of various tooling and other capital assets to be determined by Spirit. Spirit will retain usage rights and custody of the assets for their remaining useful lives without compensation to Boeing. Since Spirit retains the risks and rewards of ownership to such assets, Spirit recorded such amounts as consideration to be returned from Boeing. The discounted receivable is accreted as interest income until payments occur and is recorded as a component of other current assets. The accretion of interest income was $1.3 and $3.7 for the three months ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, respectively, and $5.8 and $13.0 for the nine months ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, respectively.
     The following is a schedule of future payments from this receivable:

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company incurred $10.2 of additional deferred financing costs in connection with the amendment to its revolving credit facility on June 8, 2009. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company incurred $7.0 of additional deferred financing costs in connection with its issuance of long-term bonds on September 30, 2009.
     The Company recognized $1.0 and $1.1 of amortization expense of intangibles for the three months ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, respectively, and $3.0 and $3.7 for the nine months ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, respectively.
8. Advance Payments and Deferred Revenue/Credits
     Advance payments. Advance payments are those payments made to Spirit by third parties in contemplation of the future performance of services, receipt of goods, incurrence of expenditures, or for other assets to be provided by Spirit on a contract and are repayable if such obligation is not satisfied. The amount of advance payments to be recovered against units expected to be delivered within a year is classified as a short-term liability, with the balance of the unliquidated advance payments classified as a long-term liability. Progress payments differ from advance payments in that progress payments are made for work completed prior to receipt of payment.

9. Government Grants
     As part of our site construction projects in Kinston, North Carolina and Subang, Malaysia, we have the potential benefit of grants related to government funding of a portion of these buildings and other specific capital assets. Due to the terms of the lease agreements, we are deemed to own the construction projects. During the construction phase of the facilities, as amounts eligible under the terms of the grants are expended, we will record that spending as Property, Plant and Equipment (construction-in-progress) and Deferred Grant Income Liability (less the present value of any future minimum lease payments). Upon completion of the facilities, the Deferred Grant Income will be amortized as a reduction to production cost. This amortization is based on specific terms associated with the different grants. In North Carolina, the Deferred Grant Income related to the capital investment criteria, which represents half of the grant, will be amortized over the lives of the assets purchased to satisfy the capital investment performance criteria. The other half of the Deferred Grant Income will be amortized over a ten year period in a manner consistent with the job performance criteria. In Malaysia, the Deferred Grant Income will be amortized based on the lives of the eligible assets constructed with the grant funds as there are no performance criteria. As of October 1, 2009, we recorded $117.5 within Property, Plant and Equipment and Deferred Grant Income Liability related to the use of grant funds in North Carolina and Malaysia. Of this amount, $113.7 in capital represents transactions where funds have been paid directly to contractors by an agency of the Malaysian Government in the case of Malaysia, and by the escrow agent in North Carolina, so they are not reflected on the Statement of Cash Flows.

10. Derivative and Hedging Activities
     Effective for the first quarter of 2009, we adopted FASB’s authoritative guidance on derivative and hedging disclosures, which expands the quarterly and annual disclosure requirements about our derivative instruments and hedging activities.
     The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce its exposure to the variable rate portion of its long-term debt. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risks associated with the changes in foreign exchange rates on sales and cost of sales denominated in currencies other than the entities’ functional currency. Any gains or losses on hedges are included in net revenues or cost of sales. The Company does not use these contracts for speculative or trading purposes. On the inception date, the Company designates a derivative contract as either a fair value or cash flow hedge in accordance with FASB guidance on accounting for derivatives and hedges and links the contract to either a specific asset or liability on the balance sheet, or to forecasted commitments or transactions. The Company formally documents the hedging relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed, and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on a quarterly basis, whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows.
     Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments considered to be effective hedges are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, net of tax. In the case of interest rate swaps, amounts are subsequently reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment of the hedged interest payments in the same period in which the related interest affects earnings. If the actual interest rate on the fixed rate portion of debt is less than LIBOR, the monies received are recorded as an offset to interest expense. Conversely, if the actual interest rate on the fixed rate portion of debt is greater than LIBOR, then the Company pays the difference, which is recorded to interest expense. Reclassifications of the amounts related to the foreign currency forward contracts are recorded to revenues in the same period in which the contract is settled. Any change in the fair value resulting from ineffectiveness is immediately recognized in earnings.
     The Company also considers counterparty credit risk and its own credit risk in its determination of all estimated fair values. The Company has applied these valuation techniques and believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts it holds. The Company attempts to manage exposure to counterparty credit risk by only entering into agreements with major financial institutions which are expected to be able to fully perform under the terms of the agreement.
     The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item; the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; the derivative is no longer designated as a hedging instrument because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur; or management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued, the Company continues to carry the derivative instrument on the balance sheet at its fair value with subsequent changes in fair value included in earnings, and gains and losses that were accumulated in Other Comprehensive Income are recognized immediately in earnings.
     To the extent that derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the changes in fair market value of the instruments are reported in the results of operations of the current period.
     The Company’s hedge agreements do not include provisions requiring collateral. The Company has certain derivative instruments covered by master netting arrangements whereby, in the event of a default as defined by the senior secured credit facility or termination event, the non-defaulting party has the right to offset any amounts payable against any obligation of the defaulting party under the same counterparty agreement.
     The entire asset classes of the Company, including hedges, are pledged as collateral for both the term loan and the revolving credit facility under the Company’s senior secured credit facility (see Note 12).
     The Company enters into master netting arrangements for its derivatives to mitigate the credit risk of financial instruments.

Interest Rate Swaps
     As required under our senior secured credit facility (see Note 12), we enter into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements periodically. As of October 1, 2009, the interest swap agreements had notional amounts totaling $500.0.
                                                 
                                    Effective   Fair Value,  
  Principal Amount       Expires     Variable Rate     Fixed Rate   Fixed Rate (1)   October 1, 2009

$ 100    
 
  July 2011   LIBOR     4.27 %     6.02 %   $ (6.4 )
$ 300    
 
  July 2011   LIBOR     3.23 %     4.98 %   $ (13.1 )

  $ (23.3 )
       
 
                                     
 
(1)   Effective rates include the fixed rates plus 175 basis points.
The purpose of entering into these swaps was to reduce the Company’s exposure to variable interest rates. The interest rate swaps settle on a quarterly basis when interest payments are made. These settlements occur through the maturity date. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was a liability (unrealized loss) of ($23.3) and ($23.0) at October 1, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
     Spirit’s wholly owned subsidiary Spirit AeroSystems (Europe) Limited (“Spirit Europe”) has certain sales, expenses, assets and liabilities that are denominated in British pounds sterling. However, sales of Spirit Europe’s products to Boeing and some procurement costs are denominated in U.S. dollars and Euros. As a consequence, movements in exchange rates could cause net sales and our expenses to fluctuate, affecting our profitability and cash flows. In addition, even when revenues and expenses are matched, we must translate British pound sterling denominated results of operations, assets and liabilities for our foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars in our consolidated financial statements. Consequently, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to the British pound sterling will affect our reported results of operations and the value of our assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet, even if our results of operations or the value of those assets and liabilities has not changed in its original currency. These transactions could significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods and/or result in significant changes to the carrying value of our assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity.
     We use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations. The objective of these contracts is to minimize the impact of currency exchange rate movements on our operating results. The hedges are being accounted for as cash flow hedges in accordance with authoritative guidance. Gains and losses from these cash flow hedges are recorded to Other Comprehensive Income until the underlying transaction for which the hedge was placed is recognized and then the value in Other Comprehensive Income is reclassified to earnings. In the third quarter of 2009, we entered into new hedging contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar revenue from certain customers and payments in British pounds sterling. The fair value of the forward contracts was a net liability of $2.9 and $2.6 as of October 1, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

The mark-to-market values of these debt securities are recorded through the Consolidated Statement of Operations on a monthly basis in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance on investments - debt and equity securities disclosures.

Interest rate swaps are placed for a period of time not to exceed the maturity of the Company’s senior secured term loan. None of the gains or losses reclassified to earnings were attributable to the discontinuance of cash flow hedges.

None of the gains or losses reclassified to earnings were attributable to the discontinuance of cash flow hedges.
11. Fair Value Measurements
     FASB’s authoritative guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard discloses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1   Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market.
 
Level 2   Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Observable inputs, such as current and forward interest rates and foreign exchange rates, are used in determining the fair value of our interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts.
 
Level 3   Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets and liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

12. Debt
Credit Agreement
     In connection with the Boeing Acquisition, Spirit executed an $875.0 credit agreement that consisted of a $700.0 senior secured term loan used to fund the acquisition and pay all related fees and expenses associated with the acquisition and the credit agreement, and a $175.0 senior secured revolving credit facility. In March 2008, the revolving credit facility was increased to $650.0. In June 2009, Spirit entered into amendment No. 2 to its senior secured credit facility, whereby the revolving credit facility was increased from $650.0 to $729.0. The maturity date with respect to $408.8 of the revolver was extended to June 30, 2012. The maturity date for the remaining $320.2 of the revolver will continue to be June 30, 2010. Commitment fees associated with the portion of the revolver that was extended to June 30, 2012 increased from a rate of 50 basis points on the undrawn amount to 75 basis points. Commitment fees associated with the undrawn portion of the revolver that terminates on June 30, 2010 continue to be 50 basis points. The applicable margin payable on revolving loans in respect of which the underlying revolving credit commitment has been extended to June 30, 2012 (“Extending Revolving Loans”) has been increased. The applicable margin continues to be determined in accordance with a performance grid based on total leverage ratio and, for Extending Revolving Loans, ranges from 4.00% to 3.00% per annum in the case of LIBOR advances and from 3.00% to 2.00% per annum in the case of alternate base rate advances. The applicable margin payable in respect of loans that are not Extending Revolving Loans continues to range from 2.75% to 2.25% per annum in the case of LIBOR advances and from 1.75% to 1.25% per annum in the case of alternate base rate advances. As of October 1, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Spirit had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The entire asset classes of Spirit, including inventory and property, plant and equipment, are pledged as collateral for both the term loan and the revolving credit facility.
     The amended credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, type of business, acquisitions, investments, sales or transfers of assets, payments of dividends, transactions with affiliates, change in control and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The amended credit agreement contains a revised Covenant Leverage Ratio and a new Interest Coverage Ratio. The Covenant Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) financial covenant was modified to provide that the maximum Covenant Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter through the final maturity date of the credit agreement shall not exceed 2.5:1 through maturity. The new Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) financial covenant was added to provide that the Interest Coverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter through the final maturity date of the credit agreement shall not be less than 4:1. The Financial Covenant ratios are calculated each quarter in accordance with the credit agreement. Failure to meet these financial covenants would be an event of default under the senior secured credit facility. As of October 1, 2009, we were and expect to continue to be in full compliance with all covenants contained within our credit agreement.
Malaysian Term Loan
     On June 2, 2008, Spirit’s wholly owned subsidiary, Spirit AeroSystems Malaysia SDN BHD (“Spirit Malaysia”) entered into a Facility Agreement (“Malaysia Facility Agreement”) for a term loan facility of Ringgit Malaysia (RM) 69.2 (approximately USD $20.0) (the “Malaysia Facility”), with EXIM Bank to be used towards partial financing of plant and equipment (including the acquisition of production equipment), materials, inventory and administrative costs associated with the establishment of an aerospace-related composite component assembly plant, plus potential additional work packages in Malaysia at the Malaysia International Aerospace Center in Subang, Selangor, Malaysia (the “Project”). Funds for the Project will be available on a drawdown basis over a twenty-four month period from the date of the Malaysia Facility Agreement. Spirit Malaysia is scheduled to make periodic draws against the Malaysia Facility.
     The indebtedness repayment requires quarterly principal installments of RM 3.3 (USD $1.0) from September 2011 through May 2017, or until the entire loan principal has been repaid.
     Outstanding amounts drawn under the Malaysia Facility are subject to a fixed interest rate of 3.5% per annum, payable quarterly.
France Factory
     On July 17, 2009, Spirit’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Spirit AeroSystems France SARL (“Spirit France”) entered into a capital lease agreement for 9.0 Euros (approximately USD $13.1), with BNP Paribas Bank (“BNP”) to be used towards the construction of a plant associated with the establishment of an aerospace-related component assembly plant in Saint Nazaire, France (the “Project”). Spirit will act as BNP’s construction agent during the construction phase of the Project and lease payments will begin upon completion of construction, which is expected during the third quarter of 2010.

     The capital lease repayment is variable based on the three-month Euribor rate and is paid quarterly. Payments are expected to be approximately 0.2 Euro (USD $0.3) from July 2010 through April 2025 with a residual amount of 0.9 Euro (USD $1.3) to be paid at the conclusion of the capital lease agreement.
     Outstanding amounts expended by BNP under the capital lease agreement are capitalized as Construction in Progress on Spirit’s books with a corresponding amount of Construction Debt. During the third quarter of 2009, Spirit recorded $4.1 in Construction Debt.
     Total debt shown on the balance sheet is comprised of the following:

13. Long-Term Bond Debt
     On September 30, 2009, Spirit issued $300.0 of 7 1/2% Senior Notes due October 1, 2017 (the “Notes”), with interest payable semi-annually, in cash in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning April 1, 2010. Prior to October 1, 2012, Spirit may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 107.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date. At any time prior to October 1, of the years set forth below, Spirit may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus a make-whole premium, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date. Spirit may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 1, 2013, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount to be redeemed) set forth below, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date.

     If a change of control of Spirit occurs, each holder of the Notes shall have the right to require that Spirit repurchase all or a portion of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
     The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and Spirit’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee Spirit’s obligations under Spirit’s senior secured credit facility. The present value of the Notes was $293.4 as of October 1, 2009, measured by the bond offering price of 97.804%.
     The Notes are Spirit’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of Spirit’s and the guarantors’ other existing and future senior indebtedness. The Notes are senior in right of payment to all of Spirit’s and the guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is by its terms expressly subordinated to the Notes and the guarantees. The Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of Spirit’s and the guarantors’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including obligations under Spirit’s senior secured credit facility, which is secured by substantially all of the assets of Spirit and the guarantors.
     The Indenture contains covenants that limit Spirit’s, and certain of Spirit’s subsidiaries’ ability, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, to (i) incur additional debt; (ii) pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, (iii) repurchase equity securities, prepay subordinated debt or make certain investments, (iv) make other restricted payments and investments, (v) issue certain disqualified stock and preferred stock, (vi) create liens without granting equal and ratable liens to the holders of the Notes, (vii) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (viii) merge, consolidate or transfer or dispose of substantially all of their assets, (ix) enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates and (x) sell assets.

These covenants are subject to a number of qualifications and limitations. In addition, the Indenture limits Spirit’s, and the guarantor subsidiaries’ ability to engage in businesses other than businesses in which such companies are engaged on the date of issuance of the Notes and related businesses.
     In addition, the Indenture provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among other things: failure to make payments on the Notes when due, failure to comply with covenants under the Indenture, failure to pay certain other indebtedness or acceleration of maturity of certain other indebtedness, failure to satisfy or discharge certain final judgments and occurrence of certain bankruptcy events. If an event of default occurs, the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, among other things, declare the entire outstanding balance of principal of and interest on all outstanding Notes to be immediately due and payable. If an event of default involving certain bankruptcy events occurs, payment of principal of and interest on the Notes will be accelerated without the necessity of notice or any other action on the part of any person.
     Spirit repaid $200.0 of borrowings under its existing senior secured revolving credit facility using a portion of the proceeds of the offering of the Notes, which increased the availability under the revolving credit facility to $729.0, reduced by $16.9 of outstanding letters of credit.

Our projected contributions to the U.K. pension plan for 2009 were $7.6, of which $5.9 was contributed by the end of the third quarter of 2009. We anticipate contributing an additional $1.7 to the U.K. pension plan during the remainder of 2009. The entire amount contributed and the projected contributions can vary based on exchange rate fluctuations.

15. Stock Compensation
     The Company has established various stock compensation plans which include restricted share grants and stock purchase plans. Compensation values are based on the value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. The common stock value is added to equity and charged to period expense or included in inventory and cost of sales.
     For the three months ended October 1, 2009, the Company recognized a total of $0.7 of stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, as compared to $4.1 of stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, recognized for the three months ended September 25, 2008. Of the total $0.7 of stock compensation expense recorded for the three months ended October 1, 2009, $0.6 was recorded as expense in Selling, general and administrative expense while the remaining $0.1 was capitalized in inventory and is recognized through cost of sales consistent with the accounting methods we follow in accordance with authoritative guidance related to revenue recognition for construction-type and production-type contracts. Of the $4.1 of stock compensation expense recorded for the three months ended September 25, 2008, $4.0 was recorded as expense in Selling, general and administrative expense while the remaining $0.1 was capitalized in inventory in accordance with the guidance.
     For the nine months ended October 1, 2009, the Company recognized a total of $6.7 of stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, as compared to $11.6 of stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, recognized for the nine months ended September 25, 2008. Of the total $6.7 of stock compensation expense recorded for the nine months ended October 1, 2009, $6.4 was recorded as expense in Selling, general and administrative expense while the remaining $0.3 was capitalized in inventory and is recognized through Cost of sales consistent with the accounting methods we follow in accordance with authoritative guidance related to revenue recognition for construction-type and production-type contracts. Of the $11.6 of stock compensation expense recorded for the nine months ended September 25, 2008, $11.3 was recorded as expense in Selling, general and administrative expense while the remaining $0.3 was capitalized in inventory in accordance with the guidance.
     The fair value of vested class A and class B shares granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans was $0.4 and $29.2, respectively, at October 1, 2009, based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on that date.
     Due to the occurrence during the third quarter of 2009 of the four-year anniversaries of the Executive Incentive Plan grant dates for certain participants in the plan, those participants acquired an incremental 8.81% interest in the shares granted to them under the plan, such that their total cumulative interest in the shares granted to them would be 80%. The total number of additional shares in which an interest was acquired in the third quarter of 2009 was 24,849. The participants have a nonforfeitable interest in those shares; however, as per the plan document, the shares are still restricted until the earlier of a liquidity event or June 16, 2015. Participants do not have the unrestricted rights of stockholders until those shares vest. Other participants will acquire the cumulative 80% interest as they reach the four-year anniversary date of their grant dates throughout the remainder of 2009 and 2010.
16. Income Taxes
     The process for calculating our income tax expense involves estimating actual current taxes due plus assessing temporary differences arising from differing treatment for tax and accounting purposes that are recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are periodically evaluated to determine their recoverability. The total net deferred tax assets as of October 1, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $224.1 and $204.7, respectively.
     We file income tax returns in all jurisdictions in which we operate. We established reserves to provide for additional income taxes that may be due in future years as these previously filed tax returns are audited. These reserves have been established based on management’s assessment as to the potential exposure attributable to permanent differences and interest applicable to both permanent and temporary differences. All tax reserves are analyzed quarterly and adjustments made as events occur that warrant modification.
     In general, the Company records income tax expense each quarter based on its best estimate as to the full year’s effective tax rate. Certain items, however, are given discrete period treatment and the tax effects for such items are therefore reported in the quarter that an event arises. Events or items that give rise to discrete recognition include finalizing amounts in income tax returns filed, finalizing audit examinations for open tax years, and expiration of a statute of limitations.
     The 28.2% effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2009 differs from the 29.5% effective tax rate for the same period in 2008 primarily due to reinstating the U.S. Research and Experimentation Tax Credit (“R&E Tax Credit”) on October 3, 2008. The 29.3% effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 1, 2009 differs from the 32.5% effective tax rate for the same period in 2008 primarily due to reinstating the R&E Tax Credit on October 3, 2008.
     The Company’s 2005 and 2006 U.S. Federal income tax returns are currently being examined. The Company expects no material change in its recorded unrecognized tax benefit liability in the next 12 months.

     On March 26, 2007, Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. (“Hawker”), of which Onex Partners II LP (an affiliate of Onex) owns approximately a 49% interest, acquired Raytheon Aircraft Acquisition Company and substantially all of the assets of Raytheon Aircraft Services Limited. Spirit’s Prestwick facility provides wing components for the Hawker 800 Series manufactured by Hawker. For the three months ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, sales to Hawker were $2.9 and $7.4, respectively, and $10.5 and $19.9 for the nine months ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, respectively.
     A member of the Holdings’ Board of Directors is also a member of the Board of Directors of Hawker.
     Since February 2007, an executive of the Company has been a member of the Board of Directors of one of the Company’s suppliers, Precision Castparts Corp. of Portland, Oregon, a manufacturer of complex metal components and products. For the three months ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, the Company purchased $11.7 and $15.1 of products, respectively, from this supplier. For the nine months ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, the Company purchased $35.7 and $48.0 of products, respectively, from this supplier.
     A member of Holdings’ Board of Directors is the president and chief executive officer of Aviall, Inc., the parent company of one of our customers, Aviall Services, Inc. and a wholly owned subsidiary of Boeing. On September 18, 2006, Spirit entered into a distribution agreement with Aviall Services, Inc. Net revenues under the distribution agreement were $1.2 and $1.4 for the three months ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, respectively, and $4.5 and $4.3 for the nine months ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, respectively.
     The Company paid $0.1 and less than $0.1 to a subsidiary of Onex for services rendered for each of the three month periods ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008 respectively, and $0.2 for each of the nine month periods ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008. Management believes the amounts charged were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
     Boeing owns and operates significant information technology systems utilized by the Company and, as required under the acquisition agreement for the Boeing Acquisition, is providing those systems and support services to Spirit under a Transition Services Agreement. A number of services covered by the Transition Services Agreement have now been established by the Company, and the Company is scheduled to continue to use the remaining systems and support services it has not yet established. The Company incurred fees of $2.8 and $5.2 for services performed for the three months ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, respectively, and $10.3 and $17.6 for the nine months ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, respectively. The amounts owed to Boeing and recorded as accrued liabilities were $7.0 and $9.5 at October 1, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
     The spouse of one of the Company’s executives is a special counsel at a law firm utilized by the Company and at which the executive was previously employed. The Company paid fees of $0.5 to the firm for each of the three month periods ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008, and $1.4 for each of the nine month periods ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008.
     An executive of the Company is a member of the Board of Directors of a Wichita, Kansas bank that provides banking services to Spirit. In connection with the banking services provided to Spirit, the Company pays fees consistent with commercial terms that would be available to unrelated third parties. Such fees are not material to Spirit.

19. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
Litigation
     From time to time we are subject to, and are presently involved in, litigation or other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering, among other things, the meritorious legal defenses available, it is the opinion of the Company that none of these items, when finally resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s long-term financial position or liquidity. Consistent with the requirements of authoritative guidance on accounting for contingencies, we had no accruals at October 1, 2009 or December 31, 2008 for loss contingencies. However, an unexpected adverse resolution of one or more of these items could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.
     From time to time, in the ordinary course of business and like others in the industry, we receive requests for information from government agencies in connection with their regulatory or investigational authority. Such requests can include subpoenas or demand letters for documents to assist the government in audits or investigations. We review such requests and notices and take appropriate action. We have been subject to certain requests for information and investigations in the past and could be subject to such requests for information and investigations in the future. Additionally, we are subject to federal and state requirements for protection of the environment, including those for disposal of hazardous waste and remediation of contaminated sites. As a result, we are required to participate in certain government investigations regarding environmental remediation actions.
     In December 2005, a lawsuit was filed against Spirit, Onex, and Boeing alleging age discrimination in the hiring of employees by Spirit when Boeing sold its Wichita commercial division to Onex. The complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Wichita, Kansas and seeks class-action status, an unspecified amount of compensatory damages and more than $1.5 billion in punitive damages. The Asset Purchase Agreement requires Spirit to indemnify Boeing for damages resulting from the employment decisions that were made by us with respect to former employees of Boeing Wichita, which relate or allegedly relate to the involvement of, or consultation with, employees of Boeing in such employment decisions. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter. Management believes the resolution of this matter will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
     In December 2005, a federal grand jury sitting in Topeka, Kansas issued subpoenas regarding the vapor degreasing equipment at our Wichita, Kansas facility. The government’s investigation appeared to focus on whether the degreasers were operating within permit parameters and whether chemical wastes from the degreasers were disposed of properly. The subpoenas covered a time period both before and after our purchase of the Wichita, Kansas facility. Subpoenas were issued to Boeing, Spirit and individuals who were employed by Boeing prior to the Boeing Acquisition, but are now employed by us. We responded to the subpoena and provided additional information to the government as requested. On March 25, 2008, the U.S. Attorney’s Office informed the Company that it was closing its criminal file on the investigation. A civil investigation into this matter is ongoing. Management believes the resolution of this matter will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
     On February 16, 2007, an action entitled Harkness et al. v. The Boeing Company et al. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. The defendants were served in early July 2007. The defendants include Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc., Spirit AeroSystems, Inc., the Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc. Retirement Plan for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Wichita Engineering Unit (SPEEA WEU) and Wichita Technical and Professional Unit (SPEEA WTPU) Employees, and the Spirit AeroSystems Retirement Plan for International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Employees, along with The Boeing Company and Boeing retirement and health plan entities. The named plaintiffs are twelve former Boeing employees, eight of whom were or are employees of Spirit. The plaintiffs assert several claims under ERISA and general contract law and brought the case as a class action on behalf of similarly situated individuals. The putative class consists of approximately 2,500 current or former employees of Spirit. The parties agreed to class certification and are currently in the discovery process. The sub-class members who have asserted claims against the Spirit entities are those individuals who, as of June 2005, were employed by Boeing in Wichita, Kansas, were participants in the Boeing pension plan, had at least 10 years of vesting service in the Boeing plan, were in jobs represented by a union, were between the ages of 49 and 55, and who went to work for Spirit on or about June 17, 2005. Although there are many claims in the suit, the plaintiffs’ claims against the Spirit entities, asserted under various theories, are (1) that the Spirit plans wrongfully failed to determine that certain plaintiffs are entitled to early retirement “bridging rights” to pension and retiree medical benefits that were allegedly triggered by their separation from employment by Boeing and (2) that the plaintiffs’ pension benefits were unlawfully transferred from Boeing to Spirit in that their claimed early retirement “bridging rights” are not being afforded these individuals as a result of their separation from Boeing, thereby decreasing their benefits. The plaintiffs seek a declaration that they are entitled to the early retirement pension benefits and retiree medical benefits, an injunction ordering that the defendants provide the benefits, damages pursuant to breach of contract claims and attorney fees. Boeing has notified Spirit that it believes it is entitled to indemnification from Spirit for any “indemnifiable damages” it may incur in the Harkness litigation, under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) between Boeing and Spirit. Management believes the resolution of this matter will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

     On July 21, 2005, the International Union, Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”) filed a grievance against Boeing on behalf of certain former Boeing employees in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma, regarding issues that parallel those asserted in Harkness et al. v. The Boeing Company et al. Boeing denied the grievance, and the UAW subsequently filed suit to compel arbitration, which the parties eventually agreed to pursue. The arbitration was conducted in January 2008. In July 2008, the arbitrator issued an opinion and award in favor of the UAW. The arbitrator directed Boeing to reinstate the seniority of the employees and “afford them the benefits appurtenant thereto.” On March 5, 2009, the arbitrator entered an Opinion and Supplemental Award that directed Boeing to award certain benefits to UAW members upon whose behalf the grievance was brought, notwithstanding the prior denial of such benefits by the Boeing Plan Administrator. On April 10, 2009, Boeing filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, seeking a ruling that the Arbitrator exceeded his authority in granting the Supplemental Award. On September 16, 2009, the District Court entered an order affirming the arbitrator’s Supplemental Award. Boeing has notified Spirit of its intent to seek indemnification from Spirit for any “indemnifiable damages” it may incur in the UAW matter, pursuant to the terms of the APA. Management believes the resolution of this matter will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
     On May 11, 2009, Spirit filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas against SPS Technologies (“SPS”), LLC and Precision Castparts Corp. Spirit’s claims are based on the sale by SPS of certain non-conforming nut plate fasteners to Spirit between August 2007 and August 2008. Many of the fasteners were used on assemblies that Spirit sold to a customer. In the fall of 2008, Spirit discovered the non-conformity and notified the customer of the discrepancy. Subsequently, Spirit and the customer removed and replaced nut plates on various in-process aircraft assemblies. Spirit’s lawsuit seeks damages, including damages related to these efforts, under various theories, including breach of contract and breach of implied warranty.
Guarantees
     Contingent liabilities in the form of letters of credit, letters of guarantee and performance bonds have been provided by the Company. These letters of credit reduce the amount of borrowings available under the revolving credit facility. As of October 1, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $33.0 and $14.0 were outstanding in respect of these guarantees, respectively.
Indemnification
     The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors, and some of its executive employment agreements include indemnification provisions. Under those agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify each of these individuals against claims arising out of events or occurrences related to that individual’s service as the Company’s agent or the agent of any of its subsidiaries to the fullest extent legally permitted.
Service and Product Warranties and Extraordinary Rework
     The Company provides service and warranty policies on its products. Liability under service and warranty policies is based upon specific claims and a review of historical warranty and service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience change. In addition, the Company incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with product performance or quality issues.
     The following is a roll forward of the service warranty balances at October 1, 2009:

20. Segment Information
     The Company operates in three principal segments: Fuselage Systems, Propulsion Systems and Wing Systems. Essentially all revenues in the three principal segments are from Boeing, with the exception of Wing Systems, which includes revenues from Airbus and other customers. Approximately 96% of the Company’s net revenues for the nine months ended October 1, 2009 came from our two largest customers, Boeing and Airbus. All other activities fall within the All Other segment, principally made up of sundry sales of miscellaneous services, tooling contracts, and sales of natural gas through a tenancy-in-common with other companies that have operations in Wichita. The Company’s primary profitability measure to review a segment’s operating performance is segment operating income before unallocated corporate selling, general and administrative expenses and unallocated research and development. Unallocated corporate selling, general and administrative expenses include centralized functions such as accounting, treasury and human resources that are not specifically related to our operating segments and are not allocated in measuring the operating segments’ profitability and performance and operating margins.
     The Company’s Fuselage Systems segment includes development, production and marketing of forward, mid and rear fuselage sections and systems, primarily to aircraft OEMs (OEM refers to aircraft original equipment manufacturer), as well as related spares and maintenance, repairs and overhaul (MRO).
     The Company’s Propulsion Systems segment includes development, production and marketing of struts/pylons, nacelles (including thrust reversers) and related engine structural components primarily to aircraft or engine OEMs, as well as related spares and MRO services.
     The Company’s Wing Systems segment includes development, production and marketing of wings and wing components (including flight control surfaces) as well as other miscellaneous structural parts primarily to aircraft OEMs, as well as related spares and MRO services. These activities take place at the Company’s facilities in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma, Prestwick, Scotland and Subang, Malaysia.
     The Company’s segments are consistent with the organization and responsibilities of management reporting to the chief operating decision-maker for the purpose of assessing performance. The Company’s definition of segment operating income differs from operating income as presented in its primary financial statements and a reconciliation of the segment and consolidated results is provided in the table set forth below. Most selling, general and administrative expenses, and all interest expense or income, related financing costs and income tax amounts, are not allocated to the operating segments.
     While some working capital accounts are maintained on a segment basis, much of the Company’s assets are not managed or maintained on a segment basis. Property, plant and equipment, including tooling, is used in the design and production of products for each of the segments and, therefore, is not allocated to any individual segment. In addition, cash, prepaid expenses, other assets and deferred taxes are managed and maintained on a consolidated basis and generally do not pertain to any particular segment. Raw materials and certain component parts are used in the production of aerostructures across all segments. Work-in-process inventory is identifiable by segment, but is managed and evaluated at the program level. As there is no segmentation of the Company’s productive assets, depreciation expense (included in fixed manufacturing costs and selling, general and administrative expenses) and capital expenditures, no allocation of these amounts has been made solely for purposes of segment disclosure requirements.

21. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
On September 30, 2009, Spirit completed an offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 71/2% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Original Notes”). The Original Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States only to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. In connection with the sale of the Original Notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the initial purchasers of the Original Notes party thereto, pursuant to which the Company, Spirit and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) agreed to file a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the Original Notes for a new issue of substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Notes”, and together with the Original Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by the Company and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”).
The following condensed consolidating financial information, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements for presentation of Rule 3-10(d) of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act, presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:
  (i)   Spirit, as the subsidiary issuer of the Notes;
 
  (ii)   The Subsidiary Guarantors, on a combined basis, which are guarantors of the Notes;
 
  (iii)   The Company’s other subsidiaries, on a combined basis, which are not guarantors of the Notes (the “Subsidiary Non-Guarantors”);
 
  (iv)   Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors, (b) eliminate the investments in the Company’s subsidiaries and (c) record consolidating entries; and
 
  (v)   The Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

The Company, which is a guarantor of the Notes, is excluded from the tables below as it has no assets or operations independent from its subsidiaries.
