6. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company principally uses derivative financial instruments to manage the risk associated with changes in interest rates which affect the amount of future interest payments. The Company uses, to a much lesser extent, derivative financial instruments to reduce fluctuations in foreign currency cash flows related to third party raw material purchases, intercompany product purchases and intercompany loans.
Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps provide for the Company to pay an amount equal to a specified fixed rate of interest times a notional principal amount and to receive in return an amount equal to a variable rate of interest based on LIBOR times the same notional amount. Cash amounts are settled on a net basis; the notional amounts are not exchanged. No other cash payments are made unless the contract is terminated prior to its maturity, in which case the contract would likely be settled for an amount equal to its fair value. The Company enters into interest rate swaps with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.
The interest rate swaps qualify and are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. Therefore, the interest rate swaps are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders' equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (AOCL). These deferred gains and losses are amortized into interest expense during the period or periods in which the related interest payments on the variable-rate debt affect earnings. However, to the extent that the interest rate swaps are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the interest payments being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in the first three quarters of fiscal 2002. Of the $110,000 notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding at June 30, 2002, $40,000 matures at the end of fiscal 2002 and $70,000 matures during the second quarter of fiscal 2003.
Activity in AOCL related to derivatives held by the Company during the first nine months of fiscal 2002 is summarized below:

8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on October 1, 2001. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized, but is reviewed for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination are amortized over their useful lives unless their useful lives are indefinite, in which case those intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and not amortized unless their lives are subsequently determined to be finite. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company completed its transitional goodwill impairment test effective as of October 1, 2001 and no impairment loss accrual was necessary. No reclassification of identifiable intangible assets apart from goodwill was necessary as a result of adoption of SFAS No. 142. The following table presents the consolidated results of operations adjusted as though the adoption of SFAS No. 142 occurred as of October 1, 2000.

All acquired identifiable intangible assets are being amortized. The weighted-average assigned amortization period is nine years for both non-compete agreements and other acquired intangible assets. Other acquired intangible assets primarily consist of technology-based and customer-related intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $238 and $611 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Based on acquired intangible assets recorded at June 30, 2002, amortization is estimated to be $820 in 2002, $817 in 2003, $791 in 2004, $773 in 2005 and $627 in 2006. The components of acquired intangible assets are as follows:

Results of Operations
Consolidated
Net sales for the third quarter of 2002 were $177 million and included incremental sales of $3 million from industrial and space-related acquisitions, compared to $179 million for the third quarter of 2001. Net sales decreased $4 million in Industrial Controls while net sales increased $2 million in Aircraft Controls and remained constant in Space Controls. For the first nine months of 2002, net sales were $533 million and included incremental sales of $12 million from industrial and space-related acquisitions, compared to $520 million for 2001. Net sales increased $14 million in Aircraft Controls and $7 million in Space Controls while net sales decreased $9 million in Industrial Controls.
13
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 67.1% in the third quarter of 2002 from 68.9% in the third quarter of 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization (see Recent Accounting Pronouncements on page 18). Year-to-date, cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 67.8% in 2002 from 69.4% in 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is primarily due to a favorable mix in Aircraft Controls including improving profitability of business jets, in part due to a favorable $2 million third quarter adjustment related to progress made on certain scope change negotiations, and due to a higher percentage of more profitable aftermarket sales. These improvements were offset partially by weak margins from industrial markets.
Estimated costs to complete are reviewed regularly for all long-term contracts. For those contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a contract loss reserve is recorded when the loss becomes known. Additions to contract loss reserves were $9 million in the first nine months of 2002, mostly related to business jet development contracts. The Company also recorded $1 million of contract loss reserves related to acquisitions. During the first nine months of 2002, $10 million of contract loss reserves, primarily related to business jet development contracts, were utilized as costs were incurred. Contract loss reserves were also reduced by $2 million related to progress made on certain scope change negotiations for business jet development contracts. The net decrease in contract loss reserves was $4 million in the first nine months of 2001.
Research and development expenses increased to $9 million in the third quarter of 2002 from $7 million in the third quarter of 2001. Year-to-date, research and development expenses increased to $25 million in 2002 from $18 million in 2001. The higher levels of research and development related to a variety of Aircraft Controls initiatives, including a new flap actuation system for business jets, controls for unmanned combat aircraft and active vibration controls for helicopters.
As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 16.9% in the third quarter of 2002 from 15.8% in the third quarter of 2001. The increase primarily relates to higher personnel-related costs. Year-to-date, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 16.6% in 2002 from 15.5% in 2001. The year-to-date increase is primarily attributable to higher personnel-related costs, including a $0.7 million charge in the second quarter related to a stock-based compensation plan for certain officers and directors, and professional fees.
Interest expense decreased to $6 million in the third quarter of 2002 from $8 million in the third quarter of 2001. Year-to-date, interest expense was $20 million in 2002 compared to $24 million in 2001. The decrease in interest expense for the quarter and year-to-date is due to lower interest rates and reduced debt levels, each contributing approximately equally to the decrease. The reduced debt levels are primarily related to the application of $39 million from the November 2001 equity offering.
The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2002 was 23.2% compared to 30.5% in the third quarter of 2001. The lower effective tax rate resulted from approximately $1 million of additional export tax benefits that the Company claimed during the quarter on amended 1997 and 1998 U.S. tax returns. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2002 was 28.4% compared to 33.5% for the first nine months of 2001. In addition to the third quarter impact of the additional export tax benefits, the year-to-date effective tax rate decreased as a result of the reorganization of the Company's European operations and additional current year benefits for sales of U.S. manufactured products sold overseas.

Aircraft Controls
Net sales in Aircraft Controls increased 3% to $86 million in the third quarter of 2002 from $84 million in the third quarter of 2001 as strong military aircraft sales were partially offset by a decrease in commercial aircraft sales. The increase in military aircraft sales is due to a $6 million, or 38%, increase in military aftermarket sales, a $3 million increase on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program as this cost-plus development contract ramps up and a $3 million increase on the F-15 fighter aircraft program related to shipments to the Company's Japanese licensee. These increases were partially offset by an $8 million decrease in Boeing OEM sales related to Boeing's reduced commercial aircraft production rates and a $2 million decrease in sales of controls for business jets. Net sales in the first nine months of 2002 in Aircraft Controls increased 6% to $262 million from $248 million in the first nine months of 2001. The increase is primarily due to a $15 million increase in military aftermarket sales, a $12 million increase in sales on fighter aircraft programs including the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, F/A-18 E/F and F-15 programs and a $3 million increase on sales for the Blackhawk/Seahawk helicopter programs. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $5 million in Boeing OEM sales, $5 million in commercial aftermarket sales related to the reduced number of commercial airplane flights, $3 million on business jets and $2 million on flight controls for Airbus.
15
Operating margins for Aircraft Controls increased to 20.4% in the third quarter of 2002 from 15.5% in the third quarter of 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization. The increase is primarily due to improving profitability of business jets, in part due to a favorable $2 million third quarter adjustment related to progress made on certain scope change negotiations, and due to a higher percentage of more profitable aftermarket sales. Operating margins for Aircraft Controls also increased year-to-date to 17.7% in 2002 from 15.8% in the first nine months of 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization. The year-to-date operating margins increased primarily as a result of the higher levels of military aftermarket sales, improving margins on business jets and better margins on sales of the F/A-18 E/F as production rates increase.
Twelve-month backlog for Aircraft Controls was $225 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $221 million at June 30, 2001. The increase is due to an increase in backlog for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter as well as increases for other military aircraft programs, partially offset by a decrease in backlog for commercial aircraft.
Space Controls
Net sales in Space Controls were $26 million in the third quarters of 2002 and 2001, and the mix of sales remained fairly consistent. On a year-to-date basis, net sales in Space Controls increased 10% to $84 million in 2002 from $77 million in 2001. The increase in sales is due to increases of $6 million for satellite controls primarily related to acquisitions, $4 million on the Space Shuttle refurbishment effort and $4 million on the Hellfire tactical missile program. These increases are partially offset by a $7 million decrease in sales of controls for launch vehicles related to the wind down on the Titan IV program and lower development activity on Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle programs.
Operating margins for Space Controls decreased to 10.5% in the third quarter of 2002 from 12.9% in the third quarter of 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization. The lower margin relates to adverse cost experience with some of the products purchased from PerkinElmer in addition to cost increases in the space mechanisms product line. Year-to-date operating margins for Space Controls increased to 13.0% in 2002 from 12.6% in 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization. Increases due to higher volume on the Space Shuttle refurbishment effort and favorable cost performance on the Crew Return Vehicle and tactical missile programs such as Hellfire, TOW and AGM-142 Popeye, which is near completion, were partially offset by decreases related to the PerkinElmer acquisition and cost increases on the space mechanisms product line.
Twelve-month backlog for Space Controls was $69 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $76 million at June 30, 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to the AGM-142 Popeye program which is nearly complete as of June 30, 2002.
Industrial Controls
Net sales in Industrial Controls decreased 6% to $65 million in the third quarter of 2002 from $69 million in the third quarter of 2001. Net sales in the third quarter of 2002 included $2 million of sales from the TSS acquisition and a $1 million beneficial impact related to the stronger Euro currency. Excluding these two factors, sales would have decreased 10%. The decrease in sales, resulting from a general economic softening in industrial markets, included a $3 million decrease related to the plastic injection molding machinery market, a $2 million decrease for electric drives, a $2 million decrease for turbines and a $2 million decrease for motion simulators. These decreases in sales were partially offset by a $4 million increase in sales of combat controls for military vehicles. Year-to-date, net sales for Industrial Controls decreased 4% to $186 million in 2002 from $195 million in 2001. Excluding year-to-date incremental sales from acquisitions, sales decreased $16 million. The decrease in sales is due to a $6 million decrease for controls for plastic injection molding machinery, a $6 million decrease for motion simulators and a $5 million decrease for electric drives. These decreases are partially offset by an $8 million increase for combat controls.
16
Operating margins for Industrial Controls decreased to 3.3% in the third quarter of 2002 from 9.1% in the third quarter of 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization. Year-to-date operating margins decreased to 5.5% in 2002 from 9.4% in 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization. These decreases resulted from low volume in industrial markets and an unfavorable product mix.
Twelve-month backlog for Industrial Controls was $76 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $71 million at June 30, 2001. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of TSS and foreign currency exchange, backlog decreased by $4 million primarily due to generally soft industrial markets.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Cash on hand was $16 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $14 million at September 29, 2001. Cash flow from operations was $33 million for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $31 million for the first nine months of 2001. The Company expects cash flow from operations in 2002 to approximate the same level as in 2001.
The Company's credit facility consists of a term loan payable quarterly through 2005, which had a balance of $49 million at June 30, 2002, and a $265 million revolver of which $145 million was outstanding at June 30, 2002. The credit facility expires in December 2005. Interest on the credit facility is LIBOR plus a spread that was 175 basis points on June 30, 2002. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's U.S. assets. The credit facility contains various covenants that adjust over the term of the facility. As of June 30, 2002, the covenant for minimum Consolidated Net Worth, defined as the sum of capital stock and additional paid-in capital plus retained earnings, was $200 million; the covenant for minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, defined as the ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of Adjusted EBITDA to total interest expense in each case for the four-fiscal quarter period then ended, was 2.6; the covenant for minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, defined as the ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of (i) Adjusted EBITDA minus capital expenditures in each case for the four fiscal quarter period then ended to (ii) the sum of interest expense, provision for taxes and regularly scheduled principal payments on debt for such four-fiscal quarter periods, was 1.1; and the covenant for the maximum Leverage Ratio, defined as the ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of total debt (including letters of credit) less aggregate cash balances to adjusted EBITDA for the four-fiscal quarter period then ended, was 4.25. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as (i) the sum for the period covered of net income, interest expense, provisions for taxes based on income, total depreciation expense, total amortization expense and other non-cash items reducing net income minus (ii) other non-cash items increasing net income for such period. Additionally, the credit facility limits capital expenditures to $26 million in 2002 and restricts the payment of cash dividends to common stockholders. As of June 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
At June 30, 2002, the Company had $130 million of unused borrowing capacity under short and long-term lines of credit, including $116 million from the credit facility. Total debt decreased to $337 million at June 30, 2002 from $373 million at September 29, 2001. The reduction in debt primarily resulted from the net proceeds of $39 million from the November 2001 equity offering used to repay outstanding debt as well as $11 million of additional reductions in debt related to cash flow from operations, partially offset by the $8 million purchase price for Tecstar and $5 million related to the TSS acquisition. Long-term debt to capitalization decreased to 49% at June 30, 2002 from 59% at September 29, 2001 primarily as a result of the equity offering.
Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2002 were $19 million compared with depreciation and amortization of $19 million for the first nine months of 2002. Capital expenditures were $19 million for the first nine months of 2001 and are expected to approximate $25 million for 2002.
The Company believes that its cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under short and long-term lines of credit will continue to be sufficient to meet its operating needs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on October 1, 2001. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized, but is reviewed for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination are amortized over their useful lives unless their useful lives are indefinite, in which case those intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and not amortized unless their lives are subsequently determined to be finite. The Company completed its transitional goodwill impairment test and no impairment loss accrual was necessary. No reclassification of identifiable intangible assets apart from goodwill was necessary as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." Under SFAS No. 143, the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation will be recorded in the period in which it is incurred, and the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset will be increased. Over time, the liability will be accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost will be depreciated over the asset's useful life. A gain or loss will be recorded if necessary upon settlement of the liability. The Company must adopt this standard by fiscal 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this standard will have on its results of operations and financial condition.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," but retains its fundamental provisions for recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and those to be disposed of by sale. The Company must adopt this standard by fiscal 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this standard will have on its results of operations and financial condition.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. It rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related taxes. Upon adoption, the criteria in APB Opinion 30 will be used to classify such gains and losses. Gains or losses on extinguishment of debt that were classified as extraordinary in prior periods presented that do not meet Opinion 30 criteria for classification as extraordinary must be reclassified into earnings from operations. SFAS No. 145 also rescinds SFAS No. 64, which amended SFAS No. 4, and SFAS No. 44, which established accounting requirements for the transition of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, which has been completed. SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. The Company must adopt this standard by fiscal 2003. The Company believes that this standard will not have a material impact on its results of operations and financial condition.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred and that an entity's commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation to others that meets the definition of a liability. The Company must adopt this standard for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this standard will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

Outlook
The Company has updated its outlook for 2002 from the discussion in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 filed May 15, 2002. Net sales are expected to approximate $722 million compared to $725 million previously expected. This $3 million decrease consists of a $6 million downward adjustment in Aircraft Controls primarily related to Boeing OEM sales, a $1 million upward adjustment in Space Controls and a $2 million upward adjustment in Industrial Controls related to combat controls. Sales in Aircraft Controls in 2002 are expected to approximate $356 million, a 5% increase over 2001 sales of $340 million. This increase reflects higher sales for military aftermarket, the ramp up on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft program and increasing production on the F/A-18 E/F program, partially offset by lower sales of controls for commercial aircraft resulting from lower production rates at Boeing and Airbus. Sales in Space Controls in 2002 are expected to approximate $114 million, an 11% increase over 2001 sales of $103 million. This increase reflects the ramp up of work on the Space Shuttle refurbishment program and increased sales of controls for satellites, due primarily to acquisitions. Sales in Industrial Controls in 2002 are expected to approximate $252 million, a 3% decrease from 2001 sales of $261 million. This decrease reflects decreases in sales of controls for plastics injection molding machinery, motion simulators and electric drives, partially offset by an increase in sales of combat controls for military vehicles.
Net sales are forecasted to grow to $764 million in 2003, a 6% increase over 2002. Sales are expected to increase in Aircraft Controls and Industrial Controls and decrease in Space Controls. Aircraft Controls sales are expected to increase 8% to $386 million in 2003. The increase reflects growth in the military aircraft business, primarily related to the build up on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft program. Also, V-22 tiltrotor sales are expected to increase as a result of rebuilding swashplate actuators to the latest customer specifications. These increases are expected to be partially offset by a $10 million decrease in Boeing OEM sales related to Boeing's reduced production rates. Space Controls sales are expected to decrease 9% to $104 million in 2003. The decrease reflects a $10 million decrease in tactical missile sales due to lower sales for Hellfire and the recently-ended AGM-142 and a $7 million decrease related to lower production on the Crew Return Vehicle. These decreases are expected to be partially offset by increases on the Ground-based Mid-course Defense initiative and Ground-Based Interceptor program. Industrial Controls sales are expected to increase 9% to $274 million in 2003. Approximately half of the increase assumes a continuation of the current level of business with some small improvements in sales for combat controls and metal forming and material handling machinery, partially offset by a decline in sales for turbines. The other half of the increase assumes the current Euro, British Pound and Yen exchange rate levels prevail throughout 2003. Approximately $190 million of forecasted 2003 Industrial Controls sales are denominated in these foreign currencies.
Operating margins for 2002 are expected to be 12.6%, unchanged from the previous outlook, compared to 12.8% in 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization. Aircraft Controls operating margins are expected to be 18.0% in 2002 compared to 16.4% in the previous outlook and 15.6% in 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization. These increases reflect the continuation of the third quarter's strong level of operating margins on military aftermarket sales, improving margins on the F/A-18 E/F as production rates increase and improving margins on business jet development programs. Space Controls operating margins are expected to be 12.4% in 2002 compared to 13.6% in the previous outlook and 12.9% in 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization. The decrease in margins reflects the adverse cost experience associated with some of the products of the PerkinElmer acquisition and cost increases on the space mechanisms product line. Industrial Controls operating margins are expected to be 5.1% in 2002 compared to 6.7% in the previous outlook and 9.1% in 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization. The decreases in margins reflect the continuation of low volume in the industrial markets.
19
Operating margins for 2003 are expected to decrease to 12.1%. Aircraft Controls operating margins are expected to decrease to 15.5%, reflecting higher volume on the cost-plus F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft program which carries modest margins. Space Controls operating margins are expected to decrease to 11.5% on 9% lower sales. Industrial Controls operating margins are expected to increase to 7.5% as a result of cost reduction initiatives that have been largely implemented and slightly higher sales.
The outlook for 2002 earnings per share has not changed from the previous outlook. Earnings per share are expected to be $2.49 in 2002 compared to $2.45 in 2001 as adjusted to add back goodwill amortization.
An increase in 2003 sales and lower non-operating expenses, which include interest and corporate expense, are expected to offset lower operating margins in 2003, resulting in a 10% increase in earnings per share to $2.75 in 2003.
Depreciation and amortization are expected to equal capital expenditures of $25 million in 2003. The Company plans to reduce debt by $17 million in 2003, which takes into account a $7 million increase in pension contributions in 2003 over 2002.
