Explanatory Note - Amendment

ArvinMeritor, Inc. (the “company” or “ArvinMeritor) is filing this Form 10-K/A to include in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2008 (the “Annual Report”), pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, financial statements and related notes of Meritor WABCO Vehicle Control Systems (“Meritor WABCO”), an unconsolidated joint venture in which the company owns a 50% interest.

Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X provides that if a 50% or less owned person accounted for by the equity method meets the first or third condition of the significant subsidiary tests set forth in Rule 1-02(w), substituting 20% for 10%, separate financial statements for such 50% or less owned person shall be filed. Meritor WABCO did meet such test as of and for the year ended October 1, 2006 and the company has included in this Form 10-K/A the required audited financial statements for that period. However, as Meritor WABCO did not meet the significance test as of and for the years ended September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007, ArvinMeritor is only required to file unaudited financial statements for those periods. ArvinMeritor has included in this Form 10-K/A Meritor WABCO’s unaudited financial statements for the years ended September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007. Item 15 is the only portion of the Annual Report being supplemented or amended by this Form 10-K/A.

Additionally, in connection with the filing of this Form 10-K/A and pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, ArvinMeritor is including currently dated certifications. This Form 10-K/A does not otherwise update any exhibits as originally filed and does not otherwise reflect events occurring after the original filing date of the Annual Report. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with ArvinMeritor’s filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report.

MERITOR WABCO VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEMS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007 (As Restated) (Unaudited)

1. FORMATION AND OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

Description of the Business — Meritor WABCO Vehicle Control Systems (the “Company”) (formerly Rockwell WABCO Vehicle Control Systems) was formed on December 7, 1989, as a joint venture between WABCO Automotive Control Systems, Inc. (“WABCO”), a subsidiary of American Standard Inc., and Rockwell Brake Systems, Inc. (“Rockwell”), a subsidiary of Rockwell International (“Corporation”) (together, the “Partners”), and began operations on February 1, 1990. In 1997, Meritor Automotive, Inc. (“Meritor”) was spun out of Rockwell. As a part of this transaction, Rockwell’s partnership interest in the Company was transferred to Meritor Brake Systems, Inc. On July 31, 2007 WABCO spun from American Standard, Inc. As a part of this transaction, American Standard’s partnership interest in the Company was transferred to WABCO. The Company’s principal business is the sale of antilock braking and conventional air systems and other vehicle control systems for use on medium and heavy-duty trucks, buses, and trailers. Capital contributions and returns are made in equal proportions to maintain each Partner’s interest in the Company at 50%. All items of income or expense are allocated to the Partners in proportion to their respective cumulative capital contributions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using standard costing, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory at September 30, 2008 and 2007, consists principally of components held for resale and includes approximately $7,583,000 and $8,260,000, respectively, of inventory inbound to the Company for which risk of loss has transferred.

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 25 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. Expenditures for betterments or major renewals are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives.

Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of product to customers when title and risk of loss pass to the customer.

Income Taxes — No provision for income taxes has been made as it is the Partners’ responsibility for federal, state, and local income taxes. As a joint venture, taxable income or loss is allocated to the partners based on their respective ownership percentages, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Company currently has state tax obligations in the State of Michigan under the Single Business Tax regime (repealed as of January 1, 2008) that are not considered an income tax under the provisions of SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes (“FAS 109”). On July 12, 2007, the Michigan legislature enacted the Michigan Business Tax and Michigan Gross Receipts Tax, effective January 1, 2008, both of which are considered an income tax under the provisions of FAS 109.

Warranty — Substantially all warranty claims are the responsibility of the product supplier. The Company processes claims on behalf of the product supplier. However, under a contractual arrangement the reimbursement to the Company of such warranty claims is based on a flat rate (.85%) of current year purchases from the product supplier. As a result of this agreement, the Company incurs warranty expense when the flat-rate recovery does not cover the amount of warranty claims processed. Warranty accruals are recorded based on historical claims paid and as a percentage of sales in the year the sale is made. As a result, $1,600,000 of warranty claims have been accrued as of September 30, 2008 and 2007.

Estimates — The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements — In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which provides a definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008 the FASB approved FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” that permits companies to partially defer the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. FSP No. FAS 157-2 does not permit companies to defer recognition and disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities or for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are remeasured at least annually. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial assets and financial liabilities and for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are remeasured at least annually for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 will be applied prospectively and will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

3. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has no employees, but purchases employee and other services from the Partners. Total expenses for services from related parties during the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, recorded in cost of goods sold and other operating expenses were as follows:

	2008		2007
Meritor Brake Systems, Inc.	$	20,676,280	$	20,111,037
American Standard		—		1,546,035
WABCO		2,227,397		309,207

Total	$	22,903,677	$	21,966,279

Additionally, during the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company purchased approximately $119,493,026 and $137,632,666, respectively, in productive inventory from related parties and recorded sales of approximately $45,287,054 and $31,771,840 to related parties, respectively.

The Company purchases a significant portion of productive inventory from related parties in Europe. All purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has an agreement with certain of these related parties whereby if the difference between the currency exchange rate at the time of purchase and an agreed-upon currency exchange rate exceeds 3%, the purchase price is adjusted so that the currency exchange effect exceeding 3% is shared equally by both parties. The Company and the related parties settle all transactions on a monthly basis. The Company records the purchase price adjustments in Cost of Goods Sold, The Company incurred increased Cost of Goods Sold of approximately $3,655,000 and $1,221,700 in 2008 and 2007, respectively, as a result of these agreements.

4. SALES AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TO MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The Company had significant sales to three unrelated major customers in 2008 and 2007. Sales made to these customers as a percentage of total sales made by the Company during 2008 and 2007 are disclosed in the table below. In addition, accounts receivable from these customers as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, is disclosed in the table (dollars in millions).

	2008						2007
Customer	Percentage of Total Sales		Sales		Accounts Receivable		Percentage of Total Sales		Sales		Accounts Receivable
1	21	%	$	37	$	2	24	%	$	50	$	2
2	9			15		3	12			25		3
3	7			13		2	7			15		2

A majority of the Company’s sales are to manufacturers of heavy-duty trucks and trailers. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, general economic conditions in the United States, where the Company sells its products, have worsened significantly. Many of the Company’s automotive industry customers are unionized, and work stoppages or slowdowns experienced by them could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. Substantially, all of the receivables are from companies operating in the domestic transportation equipment industry.

5. WARRANTYAND POLICY

The changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s total warranty and policy liability for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

	2008			2007
Beginning Balance	$	1,600,000		$	—
Provisions		3,600,000			5,800,000
Payments		(8,800,000	)		(7,600,000	)
Recoveries		5,200,000			3,400,000
Ending Balance	$	1,600,000		$	1,600,000

Recoveries include reimbursements from the product suppliers under a flat-rate recovery agreement, campaigns and other arrangements.

6. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, which arose in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes it has valid defenses against such proceedings and has instructed its legal counsel to contest these matters vigorously. No estimates of potential liability to the Company can be determined at this time. No amounts have been recorded as a liability for these proceedings as of September 30, 2008.

7. PARTNERS' CAPITAL

The summary of partners’ capital accounts for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, is as follows:

	Meritor			WABCO			Total
Balance – September 30, 2006	$	16,331,724		$	16,331,724		$	32,663,448

Balance – September 30, 2008	$	11,044,376		$	11,044,376		$	22,088,752

8. COMMITMENTS

The Company leases its principal operating facility, a warehouse located in Hebron, Kentucky. The lease commenced on October 1, 1999 with options to renew at the end of the lease terms. The initial lease term was for a period of five years. In 2004, the Company extended its lease for an additional five years. In 2008, an agreement was reached with the lessor and an addendum to the lease agreement was executed. The future minimum lease payments listed below do not reflect the addendum to the lease agreement effective November 1, 2008 and therefore, the amounts reflected show payments of $800,000 greater than those in effect under the addendum to the lease agreement. Effective November 1, 2008 the Company has reduced its “Leased Premises” by 16,910 s.f. Terms of this renegotiated lease are 60 months beginning November 1, 2009 and ending October 31, 2014. The lease agreement requires current monthly rentals plus the tenant’s share of property taxes and operating expenses. In addition, the Company leases office space in Troy, Michigan, from one of the joint venture partners on a month-to-month basis. Lease payments are made monthly. Total rental expense was approximately $1,200,133 and $1,223,264 for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments for the years ending September 30th, are as follows:

Years Ending
September 30

2009	$	436,915
2010		450,970
2011		464,500
2012		478,435
2013		492,790
2014		507,570

Total	$	2,831,180

9. RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Subsequent to the issuance of the 2007 financial statements in the ArvinMeritor 2007 Form10-K/A, the Company’s management determined that an accrual for warranty was necessary in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company must accrue amounts of expected claims processed and to be paid that will not be otherwise covered by product suppliers. As a result, the financial statements have been restated from the amounts previously reported to properly accrue warranty claims. The effects of the restatement on the Company’s originally reported financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2007 are summarized below.

	Previously Reported			Adjustment			Restated
As of September 30, 2007

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MERITOR WABCO VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEMS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

1. FORMATION AND OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

Description of the Business—Meritor WABCO Vehicle Control Systems (the “Company”) (formerly Rockwell WABCO Vehicle Control Systems) was formed on December 7, 1989, as a joint venture between WABCO Automotive Control Systems, Inc. (“WABCO”), a subsidiary of American Standard Inc., and Rockwell Brake Systems, Inc. (“Rockwell”), a subsidiary of Rockwell International (“Corporation”) (together, the “Partners”), and began operations on February 1, 1990. In 1997, Meritor Automotive, Inc. (“Meritor”) was spun out of Rockwell. As a part of this transaction, Rockwell’s partnership interest in the Company was transferred to Meritor Brake Systems, Inc. The Company’s principal business is the sale of antilock braking and conventional air systems and other vehicle control systems for use on medium and heavy-duty trucks, buses, and trailers. Capital contributions and returns are made in equal proportions to maintain each Partner’s interest in the Company at 50%. All items of income or expense are allocated to the Partners in proportion to their respective cumulative capital contributions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using standard costing, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory at September 30, 2006, consists principally of components held for resale and includes approximately $15,131,000 of inventory in transit.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 25 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. Expenditures for betterments or major renewals are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives.

Foreign Currency—The Company purchases a significant portion of productive inventory from related parties in Europe. The Company has an agreement with certain of these related parties whereby if the difference between the currency exchange rate at the time of purchase and an agreed-upon currency exchange rate exceeds 3%, the Company and the related party share the foreign currency gain or loss equally. The Company offsets significant currency gains with certain related parties against the payable owed to those parties (see Note 3). The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. The Company’s share of foreign currency gains or losses is reflected in income currently. The Company had foreign currency losses of approximately $738,076 for the year ended September 30, 2006.

Revenue Recognition—The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of product to customers when title and risk of loss pass to the customer.

Income Taxes—No provision for income taxes has been made as the Partners’ have responsibility for federal, state, and local income taxes.

Warranty—Substantially all warranty claims are the responsibility of the product supplier. The Company processes claims on behalf of the product supplier. Certain warranty claims presented by customers that do not meet the warranty coverage terms provided by the product supplier may be paid by the Company. Payment of these claims is based on approval of the Company and is discretionary as the Company has not warranted such products. Amounts paid are recorded as expense in the period that the Company approves such claims.

Estimates—The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has no employees, but purchases employee and other services from the Partners. Total expenses for services from related parties during the year ended September 30, 2006, recorded in cost of goods sold and other operating expenses, were as follows:

Meritor Brake Systems, Inc.	$	20,487,640
American Standard Inc.		1,528,790

Total	$	22,016,430

Additionally, during the year ended September 30, 2006, the Company purchased approximately $158,522,218 in productive inventory from related parties and recorded sales of approximately $29,592,000 to related parties.

4. SALES AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TO MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The Company had significant sales to five major customers in 2006. Sales made to these customers in total and as a percentage of total sales made by the Company during 2006 are disclosed in the table below. In addition, accounts receivable from these customers as of September 30, 2006 is disclosed in the table.

Customer	Percentage of Total Sales		Sales		Accounts Receivable
			(In millions)

1	24	%	$	60	$	9
2	27			68		2
3	12			30		5
4	11			28		6
5	11			27		2

A majority of the Company’s sales are to manufacturers of heavy-duty trucks and trailers. Many of the Company’s automotive industry customers are unionized, and work stoppages or slowdowns experienced by them could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. Substantially, all of the receivables are from companies operating in the domestic transportation equipment industry.

During the year ended September 30, 2006, the Company wrote off accounts receivable of $799,315 and had collections on amounts previously reserved for of $112,817.

5. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, which arose in the ordinary course of its business. The proceedings involve plaintiffs with various physical injuries including fatalities. There are multiple defendants involved in the cases. In addition, the Company has an unasserted claim made against it related to patent infringement. Although it is reasonably possible that the cases and the unasserted claim could have judgments rendered against the Company, the Company believes it has valid defenses against such proceedings and has instructed its legal counsel to contest these matters vigorously. No estimates of potential liability to the Company can be determined at this time. No amounts have been recorded as a liability for these proceedings as of September 30, 2006.

6. PARTNERS' CAPITAL

The summary of partners’ capital accounts for the year ended September 30, 2006, is as follows:

	Meritor			WABCO			Total
Balance – September 30, 2005		17,212,482			17,212,482			34,424,964

Upon expiration, the Company will have the option to renew for an additional period of five years through October 31, 2014. The lease agreement requires current monthly rentals plus the tenant’s share of property taxes and operating expenses. In addition, the Company leases office space in Troy, Michigan, from one of the joint venture partners on a month-to-month basis. Lease payments are made monthly. Total rental expense was approximately $1,164,529 for the year ended September 30, 2006.
