Report of Independent Auditors
Goodrich Corporation
Benefit Design and Administration
Committee
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan for Wage Employees as of December 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 30, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The BFGoodrich Company Retirement
Plus Savings Plan For Wage Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
December 30, 2001
1. Description of the Plan
The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan for Wage Employees (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all regular service wage employees of Goodrich Corporation’s (the “Company”) Akron, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Troy, Ohio; Calvert City and Louisville, Kentucky; Union and Spencer, West Virginia; Tullahoma, Tennessee; Phoenix, Arizona; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Everett and Kalama, Washington plants. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
Effective February 1, 1994, The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) was established to hold the assets of the Plan and the assets of The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan. All investment information disclosed in the financial statements, including investments held at December 30, 2001 and 2000, and net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments, and interest and dividend income for the years ended December 30, 2001 and 2000, was obtained or derived from information supplied and certified as complete and accurate by Fidelity Investments (the “Trustee”).
On May 4, 2001, $24,364,836 in Plan assets were transferred to Noveon Inc. in connection with the sale of the Company’s Performance Materials segment.
On December 30, 2001, the account balances of all non-union participants and participants from certain divisions of the Plan were merged into The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan, resulting in a transfer of $53,503,055 out of the Plan.
The Plan offers participants the choice of two savings options: an after-tax savings option and a pretax, 401(k) savings option. Under the after-tax savings option, employee contributions are subject to federal income taxes, whereas under the pre-tax savings option the participants postpone paying federal income taxes on the amount of contributions deducted from their wages until the contributions are withdrawn from the Plan. Participants can elect to participate in either or both of the savings options, and can contribute to each of the investment funds under both savings options.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Each employee who elects to become a participant in the Plan authorizes a payroll deduction from 1% to 18% of their eligible earnings, subject to limitation under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).
The Plan provides that for each plan year the employer will contribute, as matching contributions, a percentage of the participants’ contributions that are 6% or less of the participant’s monthly eligible earnings, except for contributions made for the participants employed at the Tullahoma and Cleveland Landing Gear plants. Employer matching contributions made for the Tullahoma participants and Cleveland Landing Gear participants are limited to 4% or less of the participant’s monthly eligible earnings.
The employer matching contribution rate varies from plant to plant, but generally approximates 50% of participants’ eligible contributions to the Plan. In some cases, the matching contribution rate is higher if contributions are directed to the BFGoodrich Stock Fund. Employer matching contributions are invested initially in the BFGoodrich Stock Fund, except for participants of one small business unit of the Company where the employer match is participant-directed. Under certain conditions, participants can redirect the employer matching contributions to the other investment funds.
The Plan also provides for the making of employer retirement contributions to the accounts of eligible employees of the Akron and Kalama plants. These contributions, which are not contingent on the making of employee contributions, equal 4% of the monthly eligible earnings for the Akron and Kalama employees. These contributions have been invested in the Managed Income Fund. Participants can redirect the employer retirement contributions to the other investment funds.
The Plan provides for the acceptance of rollover contributions from other plans qualified under the Code. Rollover contributions can be made only in cash to the Plan’s pre-tax savings option.
Dividends, interest and proceeds from sale of investments in each Fund are reinvested in the respective Fund.
Participant contributions are always fully vested. Company contributions vest immediately upon completion of three years of service by the participant. Effective April 9, 1999, a change in control as defined in the Plan occurred resulting in all participants on that date becoming fully vested in Company contributions. Company contributions may not be withdrawn until the participant reaches age 55, or upon termination, disability or death. Forfeitures are applied to reduce contributions required by the Company.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
A participant who elects to withdraw from the Plan is paid the current value of his vested account balance. Distributions from the BFGoodrich Stock Fund are made in cash or stock of the Company, and distributions from the other funds are made in cash.
Participants may borrow against their employee contributions and related earnings as permitted under the Code not to exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from 1 to 5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with prevailing market rates as determined monthly by the Trustee. Principal and interest is paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.
Administrative expenses related to record keeping are paid by the Plan and charged to participants’ accounts. Investment management fees are charged against the earnings of the investment funds in which the participants’ funds are invested.
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue such contributions at any time and terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of a termination of the Plan, the net assets of the Plan will be distributed to the participants based on the value of their accounts. Since this is an individual account plan, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation does not guarantee any benefits.
The foregoing description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. Copies of the plan document are available from the Human Resource Department of the Company.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are reported on the accrual basis of accounting.
Investment Valuation
The Plan’s investments are held in the Master Trust, a master investment trust administered by the Trustee. Participation units of the Master Trust are stated at the underlying fair value of the trust investments. The asset value of the BFGoodrich Stock Fund is derived from the value of the Plan Sponsor’s common stock. Investments in the individual Fidelity mutual

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
funds are valued at quoted market prices on the last business day of the Plan year. Investments in the Stable Value Fund are primarily investment contracts, offered by major insurance companies and other approved financial institutions (with an average yield of 6.0% in 2001 and 6.3% in 2000), and are valued at contract value (which approximates fair value). The loans to participants are valued at their outstanding balance, which approximates fair value. Temporary investments represent investments in short-term fixed income obligations, which have a fair value approximately equal to cost.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated August 28, 1996, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Goodrich Corporation Benefit Design and Administration Comittee believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
4. Investments
The investment in the Master Trust represents the Plan’s proportionate interest in the assets of the Master Trust at December 30, 2001 and 2000. The Plan’s investment in the Master Trust represented 3.0% and 16.5% of the total assets of the Master Trust at December 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

4. Investments (continued)
The Plan has a divided interest in the Participant Loan Account, which reflects the Plan’s specific loan transactions. Participation by the Plan in the Master Trust investment accounts is increased or decreased by the purchase or redemption of units of participation at the unit value established at the end of the day on which the purchase or redemption of units occurred. Summarized financial information for the Master Trust is as follows:

5. Nonparticipant-Directed Investments
The Plan’s investment options are participant-directed with the exception of the BFGoodrich Stock Fund and the Stable Value Fund. The employer match on participant contributions is automatically invested in the BFGoodrich Stock Fund, and may only be redirected under certain conditions. Retirement contributions are automatically invested in the Managed Income Fund and may be redirected by participants with no restrictions. As the participant-directed and non-participant directed amounts cannot be separately determined, these investment options are considered to be non-participant directed for financial statement disclosure purposes under Statement of Position 99-3, “Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Benefit Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters.”
