PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL
TransTechnology Corporation develops, manufactures and sells products
primarily used in the aerospace industry. TransTechnology Corporation was
originally organized in 1962 as a California corporation and reincorporated in
Delaware in 1986. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the
"Company" or the "Registrant" refer to TransTechnology Corporation (including
the California corporation prior to the reincorporation) and its consolidated
subsidiaries. The Company's fiscal year ends on March 31. Accordingly, all
references to years in this report refer to the fiscal year ended March 31 of
the indicated year.
RESTRUCTURING
On January 19, 2001, the Company announced its intention to
restructure and divest its cold-headed products (TCR), retaining ring
(Seeger-Orbis, TransTechnology (GB), TT Brasil, and TransTechnology Engineered
Rings USA), hose clamp (Breeze Industrial and Pebra) and aerospace rivet
(Aerospace Rivet Manufacturers Corp.) operations. In addition, on April 12,
2001, the Company announced that it would divest TransTechnology Engineered
Components (TTEC), a manufacturer of spring steel engineered fasteners and
headlight adjusters. For business segment reporting purposes, these
above-mentioned business units have previously been classified as the
"Specialty Fasteners Segment." The Company has reclassified these business
units as discontinued operations.
On July 10, 2001, the Company sold its Breeze Industrial and Pebra
hose clamp businesses to Industrial Growth Partners and members of Breeze
Industrial's management for $46.2 million, which was paid in cash. In a
related transaction, the Company sold the real estate occupied by Breeze
Industrial to a quasi-governmental organization for $2.0 million. Proceeds
from the sale were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the company's
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Fleet National Bank and the
other lenders therein (the "Credit Facility").
On December 5, 2001, the Company sold its TransTechnology Engineered
Components ("TTEC") businesses to a company formed by affiliates of Kohlberg &
Company, L.L.C. for $98.5 million, of which $96 million was cash and the
balance the assumption of certain liabilities related to the purchased
businesses. The cash proceeds of the sale were used to repay borrowings
outstanding under the Credit Facility. In the fiscal quarter ended September
30, 2001, as part of its restructuring program, the Company reported a pre-tax
asset impairment charge for TTEC in the amount of $85.8 million to reduce the
carrying value of these businesses to estimated fair market value. This
non-cash charge was specifically related to the write-down of goodwill. The
sale proceeds of TTEC approximated its adjusted carrying value.
On February 21, 2002, the Company sold its Seeger-Orbis retaining
ring business in Germany to Barnes Group Inc. for $20.0 million cash. The net
proceeds of the sale were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the
Credit Facility. The balance sheet of the Company contains a non-current asset
and a non-current liability in the amount of $3.1 million relating to the
pension plan of Seeger-Orbis. These amounts represent the legal liability of
the Company under German law and the indemnification received from the buyer
of the business for that liability.
1
On April 16, 2002, the Company sold its Aerospace Rivet Manufacturers
Corporation subsidiary to Allfast Fastening Systems, Inc. for $3.2 million
cash. The net proceeds of the sale were used to repay borrowings outstanding
under the Credit Facility.
On May 30, 2002, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and
business of its domestic retaining ring business, TransTechnology Engineered
Rings Inc. (USA), to a newly formed entity controlled by SeaView Capital LLC
for $3.7 million, of which $2.9 million was cash and $.8 million was a
promissory note. The company also received warrants to purchase 5% of the
purchaser's equity.
As of June 21, 2002, the Company continues to own and operate TCR
Inc., its cold-heading and screw machine operation, TransTechnology (GB) Ltd.,
its UK retaining ring business, and TransTechnology Brasil Ltda., its
Brazilian retaining ring operation. Each of these companies is held for sale
and their operations are included in discontinued operations for all of the
periods included in this report.
CORE BUSINESS
As a result of the above referenced restructuring program,
TransTechnology Corporation's core business area is aerospace products.
The company conducts its aerospace business through its
Breeze-Eastern division and its Norco, Inc. (Norco) subsidiary. Breeze-Eastern
and Norco are the world's leading designers and manufacturers of sophisticated
helicopter rescue hoists, cargo winches, cargo hook systems, mechanical
components such as hold open rods, and application-specific mechanical and
linear motion systems. These products are sold primarily to military and
civilian agencies and aerospace contractors.
PRODUCTS
The Company's aerospace products are designed, developed and
manufactured by Breeze-Eastern and Norco. Breeze-Eastern specializes in the
design, development and manufacture of sophisticated lifting and restraining
products, principally helicopter rescue hoists, reeling machines and external
hook systems. In addition, Breeze-Eastern designs, develops and manufactures
winches and hoists for aircraft cargo and weapon-handling systems with
applications ranging from cargo handling on fixed-wing aircraft to hoisting
weapons into position on carrier based aircraft. Management believes that
Breeze-Eastern is the industry market share leader in sales of
personnel-rescue hoists and cargo hook equipment. As a pioneer of helicopter
hoist technology, Breeze-Eastern continues to develop sophisticated helicopter
hoist systems, including systems for the current generation of Seahawk,
Chinook, Dolphin, Merlin and Super Stallion helicopters. Breeze-Eastern also
supplies equipment for the United States, Japanese and European
Multiple-Launch Rocket Systems which use two specialized hoists to load and
unload rocket pod containers. Breeze-Eastern's external cargo-lift hook
systems are original equipment on most helicopters manufactured today. These
hook systems range from small 1,000-pound capacity models up to the largest
36,000-pound capacity hooks employed on the Super Stallion helicopter.
Breeze-Eastern also manufactures aircraft and cargo tie-downs. Norco designs,
develops and manufactures mechanical components and systems such as hold open
rods, quick connect/disconnect locking systems, helicopter blade restraint
systems, latch assemblies, safety locks and application-specific mechanical
systems. Its power transmission line of products includes rollnuts, rollnut
longspan assemblies, ball reversers, ball oscillators, Flennor assemblies and
other application-specific linear motion assemblies. Power transmission
products are used in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications,
including medical testing equipment and manufacturing equipment for use in the
paper, pulp, and textile industries.
2
Breeze-Eastern and Norco sell their products through internal
marketing representatives and several independent sales representatives and
distributors.
The Aerospace Product backlog varies substantially from time to time
due to the size and timing of orders. At March 31, 2002, the backlog of
unfilled orders was $43.7 million, compared to $40.2 million at March 31,
2001. The majority of the March 31, 2002 backlog is expected to be shipped
during fiscal 2003.
DEFENSE INDUSTRY SALES
Approximately 43% of the Company's consolidated net sales in 2002, as
compared to 40% and 37% in 2001 and 2000, respectively, were derived from
sales to the United States Government, principally the military services of
the Department of Defense and its prime contractors. These contracts typically
contain precise performance specifications and are subject to customary
provisions which give the United States Government the contractual right of
termination for convenience. In the event of termination for convenience,
however, the Company is typically protected by provisions allowing
reimbursement for costs incurred as well as payment of any applicable fees or
profits.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Due primarily to Federal and State legislation which imposes
liability, regardless of fault, upon commercial product manufacturers for
environmental harm caused by chemicals, processes and practices that were
commonly and lawfully used prior to the enactment of such legislation, the
Company may be liable for all or a portion of the environmental clean-up costs
at sites previously owned or leased by the Company (or corporations acquired
by the Company). The Company's contingencies associated with environmental
matters are described in Note 12 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements" included in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on page 20 which is
incorporated herein by reference.
COMPETITION
The Company's businesses compete in some markets with entities that
are larger and have substantially greater financial and technical resources
than the Company. Generally, competitive factors include design capabilities,
product performance, delivery and price. The Company's ability to compete
successfully in such markets will depend on its ability to develop and apply
technological innovations and to expand its customer base and product lines.
The Company is successfully doing so both internally and through acquisitions.
There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to successfully
compete in any or all of the businesses discussed above. The failure of the
Company to compete in more than one of these businesses could have a
materially adverse effect on the Company's profitability.
3
RAW MATERIALS
The various components and raw materials used by the Company to
produce its products are generally available from more than one source. In
those instances where only a single source for any material is available, such
items can generally be redesigned to accommodate materials made by other
suppliers. In some cases, the Company stocks an adequate supply of the single
source materials for use until a new supplier can be approved. The Company's
business is not dependent upon a single supplier or a few suppliers, the loss
of which would have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 17, 2002, the Company employed 841 people. There were 286
persons employed with the aerospace products operations, 9 with the corporate
office, and 546 in businesses held for sale.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS AND SALES
The company has no foreign-based facilities used in its continuing
operations. The Company had export sales of $26.9 million, $24.9 million and
$24.0 million in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, representing 37%,
35% and 39% of the Company's consolidated net sales in each of those years,
respectively. The risk and profitability attendant to these sales is generally
comparable to similar products sold in the United States. Net export sales by
geographic area and domicile of customers are set forth in the 2002 Annual
Report in Note 13 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" on page 20
and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company believes that such facilities are suitable and adequate
for the Company's foreseeable needs and that additional space, if necessary,
will be available. The Company continues to own or lease property that it no
longer needs in its operations. These properties are located in California,
Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. In some instances, the properties are
leased or subleased and in nearly all instances these properties are for sale
or are under contract for sale. In addition, the company owns or leases
property that is used in businesses held for sale in Spain, France, England,
Brazil and Minnesota.
The lease on the Company's Executive Offices expires in August 2002 at
which time the Executive Offices will be relocated into the Company's facility
in Union, New Jersey.
