Section 2 – Financial Information

Item 2.02.      Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     On January 17, 2005, Goodrich Corporation (“Goodrich”) issued a press release announcing the expected impact on Goodrich of the decision by The Boeing Company to conclude production of the 717 commercial aircraft in 2006. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.06.      Material Impairments.

     On January 13, 2005, The Boeing Company announced its decision to conclude production of the 717 commercial aircraft in 2006. As a result of Boeing’s decision, Goodrich has determined that it will be required to record a charge to net income in the fourth quarter of 2004 of less than $10 million pre-tax, or less than $7 million after-tax ($0.06 per fully diluted share), related to the 717 program. Goodrich expects that the charge will result in future cash expenditures of approximately $2 million. The exact amount of the charge is currently under review by management and will be finalized prior to reporting fourth quarter and full year 2004 results in early 2005.
