NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED)

1. BUSINESS

Wabtec is one of the world’s largest providers of value-added, technology-based products and services for the global rail industry. Our products are found on virtually all U.S. locomotives, freight cars and passenger transit vehicles, as well as in more than 100 countries throughout the world. Our products enhance safety, improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs for customers, and many of our core products and services are essential in the safe and efficient operation of freight rail and passenger transit vehicles. Wabtec is a global company with operations in 11 countries. In the first three months of 2007, about 37% of the Company’s revenues came from outside the U.S.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the accounts of Wabtec and its majority owned subsidiaries. These condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In Management’s opinion, these financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The Company operates on a four-four-five week accounting quarter, and accordingly, the quarters end on or about March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.

The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in Wabtec’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The December 31, 2006 information has been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletins (SABs) 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and 104 “Revision of Topic 13.” Revenue is recognized when products have been shipped to the respective customers, title has passed and the price for the product has been determined.

The Company recognizes revenues on long-term contracts based on the percentage of completion method of accounting. The units-of-delivery method or other input-based or output-based measures, as appropriate, are used to measure the progress toward completion of individual contracts. Contract revenues and cost estimates are reviewed and revised at a minimum quarterly and adjustments are reflected in the accounting period as such amounts are determined. Provisions are made currently for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts.

Certain pre-production costs relating to long-term production and supply contracts have been deferred and will be recognized over the life of the contracts. Deferred pre-production costs were $7.4 million and $6.5 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates. On an ongoing basis,

WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED)

management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation based on the grant date fair value ratably over the requisite service period following the date of grant.

Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates. Forward contracts are agreements with a counterparty to exchange two distinct currencies at a set exchange rate for delivery on a set date at some point in the future. There is no exchange of funds until the delivery date. At the delivery date the Company can either take delivery of the currency or settle on a net basis. At March 31, 2007, the Company had forward contracts for the sale of U.S. Dollars (USD) and the purchase of Canadian Dollars (CAD) with a notional value of $36.0 million CAD (or $32.1 million U.S.), with an average exchange rate of $0.89 USD per $1 CAD. The Company has determined that these foreign currency contracts qualify for cash flow hedge accounting which permits the recording of the fair value of the forward contract and corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax on the balance sheet. The adjustment resulted in the recording of a current liability of $749,000 and a corresponding offset in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $476,000, net of tax.

At March 31, 2007, the Company had forward contracts for the sale of USD and the purchase of Euro with a notional value of €2.5 million Euro (or $3.5 million USD), with an average exchange rate of $1.32 USD per €1 Euro. These forward contracts are used to hedge the variability in cash flows from the payment of liabilities denominated in currencies other than the USD. The change in fair value of both the forward contracts and the related liabilities are recorded in the income statement. At March 31, 2007 the Company recorded a fair value gain in the amount of $66,000.

Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, except for the Company’s Mexican operations whose functional currency is the U.S. Dollar, are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date while income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions, and the translation of financial statements are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements based upon the provisions of SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.” The effects of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions and balances of a long-term investment nature are accumulated and carried as a component of shareholders’ equity. The effects of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions that are non U.S. dollar denominated amounts are charged or credited to earnings. Foreign exchange intercompany transaction losses recognized as other expense were $750,000 and $386,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 becomes effective for Wabtec on January 1, 2008. Upon adoption, the provisions of SFAS 157 are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 on January 1, 2007. The implementation of FIN 48 has resulted in a $2.7 million reduction to the beginning balance of retained earnings, reported as a change in accounting principle. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $13.5 million. If uncertain tax positions are recognized, $8.0 million would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company includes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007, the Company has accrued approximately $1.7 million of interest and $1.1 million of penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). The Company must adopt the measurement date provisions of SFAS 158 by December 31, 2008.

WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED)

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Statement; however, the adoption is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On October 6, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Schaefer Equipment, Inc. (Schaefer), a manufacturer of forged brake rigging components for freight cars. The purchase price was $36.7 million, net of cash received, resulting in additional goodwill of $24.2 million. Schaefer manufactures a variety of forged components for body-mounted and truck-mounted braking systems. In addition, on December 1, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Becorit GmbH (Becorit), a manufacturer of friction products for the European transit railway industry. The purchase price was $51.3 million, net of cash received, resulting in additional goodwill of $33.2 million. Becorit manufactures a variety of brake shoes, pads and friction linings for passenger transit cars, freight cars and locomotives, and also makes friction products for industrial markets such as mining and wind power generation.

The acquisitions were accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Operating results have been included in the consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date forward.

For the acquisitions that occurred in 2006, the following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:


	Schaefer		Becorit
*In thousands*	October 6, 2006		December 1, 2006
Current assets	$	13,100	$	16,200

Other liabilities		4,100		17,400

Total liabilities assumed		6,000		20,800

Net assets acquired	$	39,200	$	53,200

For Schaefer, of the allocation of $4.1 million of acquired intangible assets, exclusive of goodwill, $1.9 million was assigned to customer relationships, $1.2 million was assigned to trademarks, and $1.0 million was assigned to energy supply contracts. The trademarks have been identified as infinite lived assets while the weighted average useful lives of the customer relationships and energy supply contracts is 20 years. For Becorit, of the allocation of $5.4 million of acquired intangible assets, exclusive of goodwill, $1.5 million was assigned to

WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

customer relationships, $3.2 million was assigned to the trade name, $660,000 was assigned to patents, and $67,000 was assigned to backlog. The trade name is considered to have an indefinite useful life while the average useful life is 16 years for the patents and customer relationships.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents income statement results as if all the acquisitions listed above had occurred January 1, 2006:


*In thousands, except per share*	Three months ended March 31, 2006

At March 31, 2006, the sale of a non-core product division was completed for approximately $1.4 million in cash, including a working capital adjustment of approximately $600,000 which was established with the buyer in the fourth quarter of 2006. The assets sold primarily included transit car interior products and services for customers located in Europe. This sale resulted in a loss of approximately $1.7 million including the working capital adjustment. This adjustment is subject to review through independent arbitration and a ruling is expected sometime in late 2007.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the operating results of businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations for all years presented and are summarized as of December 31, as follows:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED)

Creek and Wallaceburg, by moving certain products to lower-cost facilities and outsourcing. Wabtec recorded expenses of $6.8 million, pre-tax, in 2006 for restructuring and other expenses, as a result of the approval of this plan. These expenses were comprised of the following components: $1.2 million for employee severance costs associated with approximately 240 salaried and hourly employees located at our Wallaceburg and Stoney Creek locations; $2.2 million of pension and postretirement benefit curtailment for those employees; $2.9 million related to asset impairments for structures, machinery, and equipment; and $541,000 for goodwill impairment specific to the Wallaceburg facility. As of December 31, 2006, the employees associated with the restructuring program had been terminated. Severance costs are contractual liabilities and payment is dependent on the waiver by or expiration of certain seniority rights of those employees. As of March 31, 2007, $76,000 of this amount had been paid.

Additional severance, pension, and asset impairment charges of $1.1 million were recorded in the first quarter of 2007 related to our Canadian operations. As of March 31, 2007, none of these expenses have been paid.

In the fourth quarter of 2005 and 2006, the Company recorded restructuring charges of about $874,000 relating to consolidating two Australian facilities into one.

In addition, the Company recorded an additional $136,000 of severance during the first quarter of 2007. As of March 31, 2007, all but $535,000 of the restructuring costs had been paid.

6. INTANGIBLES

As of both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company’s trademarks had a net carrying amount of $24.1 million and $24.0 million, respectively, and the Company believes these intangibles have an indefinite life. Intangible assets of the Company, other than goodwill and trademarks, consist of the following:

Refinancing Credit Agreement

In January 2004, the Company refinanced its existing unsecured revolving credit agreement with a consortium of commercial banks. This “Refinancing Credit Agreement” provided a $175 million five-year revolving credit facility expiring in January 2009. In November 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to the Refinancing Credit Agreement which, among other things, extended the expiration of the agreement until December 2010. The Company entered into an amendment to its Refinancing Credit Agreement in February 2007 which permits the Company to complete any acquisitions without prior approval of the bank consortium as long as certain financial parameters and ratios are met. At March 31, 2007, the Company had available bank borrowing capacity, net of $23.2 million of letters of credit, of approximately $151.8 million, subject to certain financial covenant restrictions.

Refinancing Credit Agreement borrowings bear variable interest rates indexed to the indices described below. The Company did not borrow under the Refinancing Credit Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2007 or during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Under the Refinancing Credit Agreement, we may elect a base interest rate or an interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rates of Interest (“LIBOR”). The base interest rate is the greater of LaSalle Bank National Association’s prime rate or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% per annum. The LIBOR rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 62.5 to 175 basis points depending on the Company’s consolidated total indebtedness to cash flow ratios. The current margin is 62.5 basis points.

limitations: incurrence of additional indebtedness; mergers, consolidations and sales of assets and acquisitions; additional liens; sale and leasebacks; permissible investments, loans and advances; certain debt payments; capital expenditures; and imposes a minimum interest expense coverage ratio and a maximum debt to cash flow ratio.

The Refinancing Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, failure of representations or warranties to be true in any material respect, covenant defaults, defaults with respect to other indebtedness of the Company, bankruptcy, certain judgments against the Company, ERISA defaults and “change of control” of the Company. The Refinancing Credit Agreement includes the following covenants: a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3, maximum debt to cash flow ratio of 3.25 and a minimum net worth of $180 million plus 50% of consolidated net income since September 30, 2003. The Company is in compliance with these measurements and covenants.

6.875% Senior Notes Due August 2013

In August 2003, the Company issued $150 million of Senior Notes due in 2013 (“the Notes”). The Notes were issued at par. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 6.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually on January 31 and July 31 of each year. The proceeds were used to repay debt outstanding under the Company’s existing credit agreement, and for general corporate purposes. The principal balance is due in full at maturity.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior debt and senior to all our existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The indenture under which the Notes were issued contains covenants and restrictions which limit among other things, the following: the incurrence of indebtedness, payment of dividends and certain distributions, sale of assets, change in control, mergers and consolidations and the incurrence of liens.

During the third quarter 2006, 502,400 shares were repurchased at an average price of $26.90 per share. During the fourth quarter 2006, 171,500 shares were repurchased at an average price of $31.13 per share. During the first quarter 2007, no additional shares were repurchased.

9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock based compensation was $2.1 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The accounting for the non-vested stock and the stock awards under the incentive plan was not impacted significantly by the adoption of FAS 123(R) in 2006. At March 31, 2007, unamortized compensation expense related to those stock options, non-vested shares and stock awards expected to vest totaled $16.5 million and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

Stock Options: Stock options have been granted at not less than market prices on the dates of grant. Generally, the options become exercisable over a three-year vesting period and expire 10 years from the date of grant. In January and February 2007, Wabtec granted 33,000 stock options to certain individuals.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2007		2006
Dividend yield	.1	%	.3	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.7	%	4.3	%
Stock price volatility	40.7		43.5
Expected life (years)	5.0		5.0

The dividend yield is based on the Company’s dividend rate and the current market price of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury bond rates for the expected life of the option. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Wabtec stock. Expected life in years is determined from historical stock option exercise data.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity and related information for the period indicated:


	Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life	Aggregate intrinsic value (in thousands)
Beginning of year—January 1, 2007		1,375,654		$	13.52		$	23,198
Granted		33,000			30.83			121
Exercised		(94,982	)		13.31			2,011
Canceled		(8,001	)		27.56			55

Year to date—March 31, 2007		1,305,671		$	13.88	5.5	$	26,906

Exercisable		1,161,486		$	12.88	5.3	$	25,095

Weighted average fair value of options granted during 2007	$	12.65

Non-Vested Restricted Stock and Incentive Stock Awards: The Company adopted a non-vested stock plan in 2006. In February 2007, the Company issued 121,000 awards to certain individuals. The non-vested stock

WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED)

generally vests over four years from the date of grant. In 2004, the Company established a stock-based incentive plan for eligible employees. The plan provides stock awards which vest upon attainment of certain three year performance targets. The Company issued 238,000 awards to certain individuals in February 2007 with 229,000 awards becoming vested during the first quarter of 2007.

The following table summarizes the non-vested stock and stock awards activity and related information for the period indicated:


	Non-Vested Restricted Stock	Incentive Stock Awards		Weighted Average FMV
Outstanding at January 1, 2007	197,500	701,666		$	23.63
Granted	121,000	238,000			33.99
Vested	—	(229,000	)		31.06
Canceled	—	—			—

Outstanding at March 31, 2007	318,500	710,666		$	25.59

As of March 31, 2007, stock awards issued under the incentive plan are awarded but not vested. These stock awards will vest based upon the achievement of certain financial goals for each three year periods ending December 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009, respectively. The stock awards included in the table above represent the maximum number of shares that may ultimately vest. As of March 31, 2007, based on the Company’s performance, we have estimated the most probable amount of these stock awards which will vest and have recorded compensation expense accordingly. If our estimate of the number of these stock awards expected to vest changes in a future accounting period, compensation expense could be different and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period.

10. INCOME TAXES

The overall effective income tax rate was 37.2% and 36.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $13.5 million. If uncertain tax positions are recognized, $8.0 million would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company includes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007, the Company has accrued approximately $1.7 million of interest and $1.1 million of penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

With limited exception, the Company is no longer subject to examination by various U.S. and foreign taxing authorities for years before 2002. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently auditing the tax year ended December 31, 2004. In 2007, certain taxing jurisdictions are prevented by statute from further examination of tax years prior to 2004. The Company does not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Claims have been filed against the Company and certain of its affiliates in various jurisdictions across the United States by persons alleging bodily injury as a result of exposure to asbestos-containing products. Since 2000, the number of such claims has increased and the resolution of these claims may take a significant period of time. Most of these claims have been made against our wholly owned subsidiary, Railroad Friction Products Corporation (RFPC), and are based on a product sold by RFPC prior to the time that the Company acquired any interest in RFPC. On April 17, 2005, a claim against the Company by a former stockholder of RFPC contending that the Company assumed that entity’s liability for asbestos claims arising from exposure to RFPC’s product was resolved in the Company’s favor.

Most of these claims, including all of the RFPC claims, are submitted to insurance carriers for defense and indemnity or to non-affiliated companies that retain the liabilities for the asbestos-containing products at issue. We cannot, however, assure that all these claims will be fully covered by insurance or that the indemnitors will remain financially viable. Our ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these claims, as is the case with other pending litigation, cannot be estimated.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED)

It is Management’s belief that the potential range of loss for asbestos-related bodily injury cases is not reasonably determinable at present for a variety of factors, including: (1) the limited asbestos case settlement history of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, RFPC; (2) the unpredictable nature of personal injury litigation in general; and (3) the uncertainty of asbestos litigation in particular. Despite this uncertainty, and although the results of the Company’s operations and cash flows for any given period could be adversely affected by asbestos-related lawsuits, Management believes that the final resolution of the Company’s asbestos-related cases will not be material to the Company’s overall financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In general, this belief is based upon: (1) Wabtec’s and RFPC’s limited history of settlements and dismissals of asbestos-related cases to date; (2) the inability of many plaintiffs to establish any exposure or causal relationship to RFPC’s product; and (3) the inability of many plaintiffs to demonstrate any identifiable injury or compensable loss.

More specifically, as to RFPC, Management’s belief that any losses due to asbestos-related cases would not be material is also based on the fact that RFPC owns insurance which provides coverage for asbestos-related bodily injury claims. To date, RFPC’s insurers have provided RFPC with defense and indemnity in these actions. As to Wabtec and its divisions, Management’s belief that asbestos-related cases will not have a material impact is also based on its position that it has no legal liability for asbestos-related bodily injury claims, and that the former owners of Wabtec’s assets retained asbestos liabilities for the products at issue. To date, Wabtec has been able to successfully defend itself on this basis, including two arbitration decisions and a judicial opinion, all of which confirmed Wabtec’s position that it did not assume any asbestos liabilities from the former owners of certain Wabtec assets. Although Wabtec has incurred defense and administrative costs in connection with asbestos bodily injury actions, these costs have not been material, and the Company has no information that would suggest these costs would become material in the foreseeable future.

In April 2005, Amtrak decided to suspend its Acela Express train service due to cracks in the spokes of some of the cars’ brake discs. Amtrak’s Acela service was resumed on a limited basis in July 2005, and complete service was resumed in September 2005. Wabtec did not design or supply the braking system for the Acela cars. The braking system was supplied by Knorr Brake Corporation and the brake discs were designed by Faiveley Transport. Wabtec did provide and machined approximately one-third of the brake discs for the cars and assisted Amtrak and others, including Bombardier Corporation, Alstom Transportation Inc., Knorr and Faiveley, in their evaluation and investigation of the brake disc cracks.

On July 11, 2005, Wabtec received a written notice of a potential claim for damages from Knorr and on March 2, 2006 received a notice from Knorr in which Knorr stated that Amtrak is of the view that it may have warranty claims against Wabtec, Knorr, and Faiveley. Neither Knorr notice specified any amount or range of claims against the Company, although Knorr has indicated that it expects the Company to participate in any financial settlement arising from the alleged defects and failures of the Acela brake discs. Wabtec, in turn, has forwarded Knorr’s notices to Faiveley and has notified Faiveley of potential claims by Wabtec against Faiveley.

In a presentation provided to Wabtec and Faiveley on August 22, 2006, Bombardier claimed that it has reached a settlement with Amtrak and Knorr related to the suspension of Amtrak’s Acela service. Bombardier has alleged that it has incurred damages of approximately $38 million, and has been assigned the rights to pursue additional claims by Amtrak and Knorr of approximately $17 million and $10 million, respectively. Wabtec has contacted Faiveley, asserting that Faiveley is fully responsible for any claims made by Bombardier, including the assigned claims of Amtrak and Knorr.

While Wabtec does not believe that it has any material legal liability with regard to this matter, Management has pursued a commercial resolution with Bombardier that would be mutually beneficial to both parties. As a

WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED)

result of those discussions, the Company believes it has reached a framework for a settlement which provides for Bombardier to receive payments based on certain sales with the Company taking into account historical sales volume. If finalized, this arrangement would be in effect from 2007 to 2009, and would be subject to a maximum amount of $4.4 million in total assuming the corresponding level of sales were reached. The Company has recorded a provision of $2.5 million for this potential settlement in the first quarter of 2007 to provide for payments that would be payable based on current sales levels.

In March 2006, Management began an internal investigation related to business transactions conducted by a subsidiary, Pioneer Friction Limited (“Pioneer”), in West Bengal, India. Through an internal compliance review, Management discovered that disbursements were made which may be in violation of applicable laws and regulations. Pioneer is a fourth-tier subsidiary of Wabtec; two of the intermediate subsidiaries are Australian companies which are, in turn, owned by a U.S holding company.

While the transactions are inconsequential and not material to the overall operations of Wabtec, they may result in potential penalties. Management has concluded its investigation, and has informed Wabtec’s Audit Committee, Board of Directors, and the appropriate authorities.

The Company is subject to a number of other commitments and contingencies as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2006, filed on March 01, 2007. During the first three months of 2007, there were no material changes other than what is discussed above to the information described in Note 18 therein.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Wabtec has two reportable segments—the Freight Group and the Transit Group. The key factors used to identify these reportable segments are the organization and alignment of the Company’s internal operations, the nature of the products and services, and customer type. The business segments are:

Freight Group manufactures products and provides services geared to the production and operation of freight cars and locomotives, including braking control equipment, on-board electronic components and train coupler equipment.

Transit Group consists of products for passenger transit vehicles and locomotives (typically subways, commuter rail and buses) that include braking, coupling, monitoring systems, climate control and door equipment engineered to meet individual customer specifications, as well as commuter rail locomotives.

The Company evaluates its business segments’ operating results based on income from operations. Corporate activities include general corporate expenses, elimination of intersegment transactions, interest income and expense and other unallocated charges. Since certain administrative and other operating expenses and other items have not been allocated to business segments, the results in the following tables are not necessarily a measure computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other companies.

Beginning in the fourth quarter 2006, the Company transferred certain operations between the Freight and Transit Group to reflect a shift in the markets and customers served by those operations and to reflect the information used by the chief decision maker in evaluating the operations of the Company. In addition, beginning in the fourth quarter 2006, the Company has allocated certain corporate costs to the Freight and Transit groups to reflect the beneficial use of these costs by the specific groups. Prior period results have been adjusted for comparability purposes.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation’s Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 1, 2007.

OVERVIEW

Management Review and Future Outlook

Wabtec’s long-term financial goals are to generate free cash flow in excess of net income, maintain a strong credit profile while minimizing our overall cost of capital, increase margins through strict attention to cost controls, and increase revenues through a focused growth strategy, including global and market expansion, new products and technologies, aftermarket products and services, and acquisitions. In addition, Management monitors the Company’s short-term operational performance through measures such as quality and on-time delivery.

Deliveries of new freight cars were 17,148 and 18,542 for the first three months of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Orders of new freight cars were 11,152 and 35,991 for the first three months of 2007 and 2006, respectively. This trend demonstrates a stabilization of orders and deliveries over prior years and illustrates the significant backlog of orders to be filled in future periods.

As expected, demand for new freight cars slowed in the first quarter of 2007, with orders of 11,152, deliveries of 17,148, and the backlog decreasing to 79,038. The Company has been able to offset the slowing freight car market with other growth initiatives in the freight market. Following are quarterly freight car statistics for the past three years:


	Orders	Deliveries	Backlog
First quarter 2005	17,563	15,781	59,416
Second quarter 2005	19,132	17,914	60,544
Third quarter 2005	17,439	16,987	60,986
Fourth quarter 2005	26,569	17,975	69,408

Carloadings and Intermodal Units Originated remained constant over the past three years reflecting strong rail traffic and opportunities for maintenance and aftermarket sales for the Company. Compared to a record year in 2006, carloadings decreased and intermodal units stayed about the same in the first quarter of 2007:

Deliveries of transit cars were 738 and 918 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Deliveries of locomotives were 1,244 and 1,106 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

In 2007, the Company expects conditions to remain generally favorable in its freight rail and passenger transit rail markets. Demand for new locomotives is expected to be slightly higher than in 2006, while demand for new freight cars is expected to be slightly lower. In the passenger transit rail market, the Company believes that increases in ridership and federal funding will continue to have a positive effect on the demand for new equipment and aftermarket parts. In addition, the Company has a strong backlog of transit-related projects, some of which are expected to generate increased revenues in 2007 and beyond.

In the future, we will continue to face many challenges, including increased costs for raw materials, higher costs for medical and insurance premiums, and foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, we face general economic risks, as well as the risk that our customers could curtail spending on new and existing equipment. Risks associated with our four-point growth strategy include the level of investment that customers are willing to make in new technologies developed by the industry and the Company, and risks inherent in global expansion. When necessary, we will modify our financial and operating strategies to reflect changes in market conditions and risks.

On July 19, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to improve the profitability and efficiency of certain business units. As part of the plan, Wabtec downsized two of its Canadian plants, in Stoney Creek and Wallaceburg, by moving certain products to lower-cost facilities and outsourcing. Wabtec recorded expenses of $6.8 million, pre-tax, in 2006 for restructuring and other expenses, as a result of the approval of this plan. These expenses were comprised of the following components: $1.2 million for employee severance costs associated with approximately 240 salaried and hourly employees located at our Wallaceburg and Stoney Creek locations; $2.2 million of pension and postretirement benefit curtailment for those employees; $2.9 million related to asset impairments for structures, machinery, and equipment; and $541,000 for goodwill impairment specific to the Wallaceburg facility. As of December 31, 2006, the employees associated with the restructuring program had been terminated. Severance costs are contractual liabilities and payment is dependent on the waiver by or expiration of certain seniority rights of those employees. As of March 31, 2007, $79,000 of this amount had been paid.

FIRST QUARTER 2007 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2006

The following table summarizes the results of operations for the period:


	Three months ended March 31,
*In thousands*	2007		2006		Percent Change
Net sales	$	314,264	$	262,409	19.8	%
Income from operations		42,117		32,328	30.3	%
Net income		25,522		20,046	27.3	%

Net sales increased by $51.9 million to $314.3 million from $262.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase is primarily due to internal growth from increased sales from contracts to build locomotives of about $19 million, sales for refurbishing transit cars of $9.6 million, sales from radiator equipment of $8.9 million, and sales of $19.7 million from acquisitions completed in the 4th quarter of 2006. Offsetting those increases was a decrease of $10.7 million related to lower industry deliveries of freight cars, especially intermodal cars. The Company did not realize any significant net sales improvement because of price increases or foreign exchange. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $25.5 million or $0.52 per diluted share. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $20.0 million or $0.41 per diluted share. Net income improved primarily due to sales increases and consistent operating costs.

Net sales by Segment The following table shows the Company’s net sales by business segment:


	Three months ended March 31,
*In thousands*	2007		2006
Freight Group	$	184,667	$	180,816
Transit Group		129,597		81,593

Net sales	$	314,264	$	262,409

Net sales for the first quarter of 2007 increased $51.9 million, or 19.8%, as compared to the same period of 2006. Sales increased in the Freight Group from $180.8 million to $184.7 million. This increase of $3.9 million or 2% is due to increased radiator sales of $8.9 million, and sales of $7.9 million from an acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of 2006. Offsetting these increases were decreases of $4.0 million in locomotive component, repair and refurbishment services, and decreases of $10.7 million related to lower industry deliveries of freight cars, especially intermodal cars. Transit Group sales increased from $81.6 million to $129.6 million or 59% due to increased locomotive commuter sales of $21.9 million, increased sales of $10.8 million related to refurbishment of transit cars, and sales of $11.8 million from an acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Gross profit Gross profit increased to $86.6 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $75.1 million in the same period of 2006. Gross profit is dependent on a number of factors including pricing, sales volume and product mix. In the first quarter of 2007, gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 27.5% compared to 28.6% in 2006. This slight decrease is due to the changing mix of revenues from Freight to Transit, as Transit OEM contracts typically realize a lower gross profit. Ongoing improvements and cost savings are being realized from sourcing raw materials from lower cost suppliers, reduced labor costs, and continuing improvements in our manufacturing processes.

The provision for warranty expense was $279,000 higher for the three months of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006, which negatively impacted gross profit. There were no significant increases due to specific reserves. In general, reserves, which are established based on historical claims as a percentage of revenue, were slightly higher due to increased sales resulting in a higher reserve compared to prior period. Overall, our warranty reserve increased at March 31, 2007 compared to March 31, 2006 by $481,000.

Operating expenses The following table shows our operating expenses:


	Three months ended March 31,
*In thousands*	2007		2006		Percent Change
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	34,945	$	33,788	3.4	%
Engineering expenses		8,816		8,115	8.6	%
Amortization expense		688		859	(19.9	)%

Total operating expenses	$	44,449	$	42,762	3.9	%

Operating expenses increased $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006. These expenses were 14.1% and 16.3% of sales for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a liability of $2.5 million to reflect the tentative commercial resolution with Bombardier for the Acela claim. Other increases in operating expenses are related to acquisitions that were completed in the fourth quarter of 2006. Stock-based compensation expenses decreased from $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2006 to $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2007.

Income from operations Income from operations totaled $42.1 million (or 13.4% of sales) in the first quarter of 2007 compared with $32.3 million (or 12.3% of sales) in the same period of 2006. Income from operations improved primarily due to sales increases and consistent operating costs.

Interest expense, net Interest expense, net decreased 43.4% in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006 primarily due to the Company’s overall higher cash balances and rising interest rates, resulting in higher interest income.

Other income (expense), net The Company recorded foreign exchange expense of $750,000 and income of $386,000, respectively, in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, due to the effect of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions that are non U.S. dollar denominated amounts and charged or credited to earnings.

Income taxes The effective income tax rate was 37.2% and 36.2% for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in effective tax rate is primarily the result of higher tax rate jurisdictions in Europe, as well as the additional charges related to the adoption of FIN 48.

Net income Net income for the first quarter of 2007 increased $5.5 million, compared with the same period of 2006. Net income improved primarily due to sales increases and consistent operating costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is provided primarily by operating cash flow and borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility with a consortium of commercial banks (“credit agreement”). The following is a summary of selected cash flow information and other relevant data:


	Three months ended March 31,
*In thousands*	2007			2006
Cash provided (used) by:
Operating activities	$	18,752		$	44,983
Investing activities		(3,407	)		(1,236	)
Financing activities		1,681			5,358
Net Change in Cash	$	18,500		$	50,091

Operating activities Cash provided by operations in the first three months of 2007 was $18.7 million as compared to $45.0 million in the same period of 2006. This $26.3 million decrease was the result of increased earnings offset by certain changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net income for the Company increased $5.5 million primarily as a result of increased sales. Cash provided by accounts receivable decreased operating cash flows by $57.4 million. In 2006, the Company collected large customer receivables for certain locomotive contracts that were due from the end of 2005. Cash used for inventory improved by $7.6 million. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities provided cash of $8.5 million.

Investing activities In the first three months of 2007 and 2006, cash used in investing activities was $3.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. In 2006, the Company sold a non-core division for $2.1 million. Capital expenditures were $2.8 million and $3.3 million in the first three months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Financing activities In the first three months of 2007 and 2006, cash provided by financing activities was $1.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The cash provided in 2007 included $2.2 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and other benefit plans, offset by $491,000 of dividend payments. The cash provided in 2006 included $5.8 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and other benefit plans, offset by $483,000 of dividend payments.

The following table shows our outstanding indebtedness at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The other term loan interest rates are variable and dependent on market conditions.


*In thousands*	March 31, 2007		December 31, 2006

Long-term portion	$	150,000	$	150,000

Cash balance at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $206.5 million and $188.0 million, respectively.

Refinancing Credit Agreement

Under the Refinancing Credit Agreement, the Company may elect a base interest rate or an interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rates of Interest (“LIBOR”). The base interest rate is the greater of LaSalle Bank National Association’s prime rate or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% per annum. The LIBOR rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 62.5 to 175 basis points depending on the Company’s consolidated total indebtedness to cash flow ratios. The current margin is 62.5 basis points.

The Refinancing Credit Agreement limits the Company’s ability to declare or pay cash dividends and prohibits the Company from declaring or making other distributions, subject to certain exceptions. The Refinancing Credit Agreement contains various other covenants and restrictions including the following limitations: incurrence of additional indebtedness; mergers, consolidations and sales of assets and acquisitions; additional liens; sale and leasebacks; permissible investments, loans and advances; certain debt payments; capital expenditures; and imposes a minimum interest expense coverage ratio and a maximum debt to cash flow ratio.

The Refinancing Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, failure of representations or warranties to be true in any material respect, covenant defaults, defaults with respect to other indebtedness of the Company, bankruptcy, certain judgments against the Company, ERISA defaults and “change of control” of the Company. The Refinancing Credit Agreement includes the following covenants: a minimum interest coverage ratio of three, maximum debt to cash flow ratio of 3.25 and a minimum net worth of $180 million plus 50% of consolidated net income since September 30, 2003. The Company is in compliance with these measurements and covenants.

6⁷/8% Senior Notes Due August 2013

In August 2003, the Company issued $150 million of Senior Notes due in 2013 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued at par. Interest on the notes accrues at a rate of 6.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually on January 31 and July 31 of each year. The proceeds were used to repay debt outstanding under the Company’s existing credit agreement, and for general corporate purposes.

The Company believes, based on current levels of operations and forecasted earnings, cash flow and liquidity will be sufficient to fund its working capital and capital equipment needs as well as to meet its debt service requirements. If the Company’s sources of funds were to fail to satisfy the Company’s cash requirements, the Company may need to refinance its existing debt or obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that such new financing alternatives would be available, and, in any case, such new financing, if available, would be expected to be more costly and burdensome than the debt agreements currently in place.

trades. No time limit was set for the completion of the program which qualifies under the Refinancing Credit Agreement, as well as the 6⁷/8% Senior Notes currently outstanding.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

After the adoption of FIN 48, the Company has recognized a liability of $13.5 million for unrecognized tax benefits. At this time, the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of cash settlement due to the uncertainty of the timing and outcome of its audits and other factors.

Since December 31, 2006, there have been no other significant changes in the total amount of the Company’s contractual obligations or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

In the ordinary course of business, Wabtec is exposed to risks that increases in interest rates may adversely affect funding costs associated with its variable-rate debt. There was no outstanding variable-rate debt at March 31, 2007.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates. Forward contracts are agreements with a counterparty to exchange two distinct currencies at a set exchange rate for delivery on a set date at some point in the future. There is no exchange of funds until the delivery date. At the delivery date the Company can either take delivery of the currency or settle on a net basis. At March 31, 2007, the Company had forward contracts for the sale of U.S. Dollars (USD) and the purchase of Canadian Dollars (CAD) with a notional value of $36.0 million CAD (or $32.1 million U.S.), with an average exchange rate of $0.89 USD per $1 CAD. The Company has determined that these foreign currency contracts qualify for cash flow hedge accounting which permits the recording of the fair value of the forward contract and corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax on the balance sheet. The adjustment resulted in the recording of a current liability and an increase in comprehensive income of $476,000, net of tax.

We are also subject to certain risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates to the extent our operations are conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For the first three months of 2007, approximately 63% of Wabtec’s net sales were in the United States, 12% in Canada, 2% in Mexico, 3% in Australia, 2% in Germany, 10% in the United Kingdom, and 8% in other international locations.

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Wabtec’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of Wabtec’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of March 31, 2007. Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that Wabtec’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Wabtec in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Wabtec in such reports is accumulated and communicated to Wabtec’s Management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in Wabtec’s “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Wabtec’s internal control over financial reporting.
