Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm
Plan Administrator and
Trustee
Roper Industries Inc.
Employees’ Retirement Savings 004 Plan
Duluth, Georgia
We have audited the accompanying
statements of net assets available for benefits of Roper Industries Inc. Employees’
Retirement Savings 004 Plan (Plan) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 2004. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in
net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the
purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The
supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations
for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Roper Industries, Inc.
Employees’ Retirement
Savings 004 Plan
Notes to Financial
Statements
| 1. |
Description
of the Plan The following description of the Roper Industries, Inc.
Employees’ Retirement Savings 004 Plan (the “Plan”) provides
only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a
more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. |
| |
a. |
General — The
Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of certain
subsidiaries of Roper Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), who are age
eighteen or older and have completed six months of service, as defined in the
Plan. Certain participants who become employees of the Company as a result of
mergers or acquisitions are given credit for their prior service for purposes
of determining eligibility and vesting. It is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as
amended. Effective January 2002, the Plan was amended to incorporate certain
provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001
(EGTRRA). |
| |
|
During 2003,
the plan transferred assets from the Roper Industries, Inc. Employees’Retirement
Savings 004 Plan into the Roper Industries, Inc. Employees’ Retirement Savings 003
Plan. The transferred amounts were based upon what division under Roper Industries, Inc.
the employee worked for. |
| |
b. |
Contributions — Previously,
participants could contribute up to 20 percent of pre-tax annual compensation,
as defined in the Plan. Effective January 1, 2002 participants may contribute
up to 30 percent of pretax annual compensation as defined in the Plan.
Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other
qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. Participants direct
the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered
by the Plan. The Plan currently offers two common collective trusts, ten mutual
funds, and Roper Industries, Inc. common stock as investment options for
participants. The Company contributes 50 percent of the first 6 percent of
base compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan or 50 percent of
the first 8 percent of base compensation that a participant contributes to the
Plan depending on the Company. Contributions are subject to certain
limitations. |
| |
c. |
Participant
Accounts — Each participant’s account is credited with the
participant’s contributions, an allocation of the Company’s matching
contributions and Plan earnings and is charged with an allocation of
administrative expenses. Allocations are based on the participant’s
account balance, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is
the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account. |
| |
d. |
Vesting — Participants
are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon.
Vesting in the Company’s contribution portion of their accounts is based
on years of continuous service. Participants vest over a five year period
beginning with 20 percent after one year of service and 20 percent each year
thereafter, and are 100 percent vested after 5 years. |
| |
e. |
Participant
Loans - Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of
$1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their
vested account balance. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s
account and bear interest at rates that range from 5.0 percent to 11.0 percent,
which are commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the Plan
administrator. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll
deductions. |
| |
f. |
Payment
of Benefits — On termination of service due to death, disability,
retirement or separation from service subsequent to July 1, 2002, a participant
will generally elect to receive their benefits as a lump-sum amount equal to
the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account.
Participants can elect to receive shares of the Company’s common stock if
their total balance exceeds $5,000. For distributions prior to July 1, 2002,
participants could have elected to receive their benefits in installments.
Withdrawals from the Plan may also be made upon circumstances of financial
hardship, in accordance with provisions specified in the Plan. |
| |
g. |
Forfeitures — Forfeitures
by non-vested participants are used to reduce future Company contributions.
Forfeitures used amounted to approximately $32,188 and $66,981 for the years
ended December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively. |
| |
h. |
Administrative
Expenses -The majority of the administrative expenses of the
Plan are paid by the Company. |
2. Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies
| |
Basis
of Accounting —The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the
accrual method of accounting. |
| |
Management
Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. |
| |
Investment
Valuation —The Plan’s investments are stated at fair market value based
upon quoted market prices. Shares of mutual funds and common collective trusts are valued
at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. Participant loans are
valued at cost, which approximates fair value. |
| |
The
Plan’s investment in the Scudder Stable Value Fund is stated at contract value in
accordance with Statement of Position 94-4, “Reporting for Investment Contracts Held
by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans.” |
| |
Payment
of Benefits —Benefits are recorded when paid. |
| 3. |
Investments
—The fair market value of individual investments that represent at
least 5 percent or more of the Plan’s net assets available are as follows

Related
Party Transactions Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds or
common collective trusts managed by Scudder Trust Company. Scudder Trust
Company is the trustee as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these
transactions qualify as party-in-interest. The Plan offers Roper Industries, Inc. common stock
as an investment option for participants. Roper Industries, Inc. is the Plan sponsor
as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest. |
| 5. |
Plan
Termination Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company
has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and
to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan
termination, participants would become 100 percent vested in their employer
contributions. |
| 6. |
Income
Tax Status The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the
Company by a letter dated October 20, 1999, that the Plan and related trust are
designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
However, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that
the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the IRC. |
