Note 1. General
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (Teledyne Technologies or the Company) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in notes to consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, but resultant disclosures are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States as they apply to interim reporting. The consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Teledyne Technologies Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2005 (2004 Form 10-K).
In the opinion of Teledyne Technologies management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, Teledyne Technologies consolidated financial position as of April 3, 2005, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months then ended. The results of operations and cash flows for the three month period ended April 3, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the full fiscal year.
Certain financial statements and notes for the prior year have been changed to conform to the 2005 presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R, Share Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) that will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation costs will be measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity or liability instrument issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes SFAS No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123R must be adopted in the first quarter of 2006, however, early adoption is allowed. If the Company elects to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective in the third quarter of 2005, the impact is expected to reduce pretax earnings by $2.6 million in the second half of 2005.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43 Chapter 4 (SFAS No. 151). SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. SFAS No. 151 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have any impact on the Company.

Note 2. Business Combinations and Disposition
On October 22, 2004, Teledyne, through its wholly owned subsidiary Teledyne Wireless, Inc., acquired the defense electronics business of Celeritek, Inc. (Celeritek) for $32.7 million in cash, which includes the receipt of a purchase price adjustment. Celeriteks defense electronics business designs and manufactures gallium arsenide-based radio frequency and microwave components and subassemblies for electronic warfare, radar and other military applications. Teledyne relocated the business from Santa Clara, California and consolidated it with Teledynes operations in Mountain View, California.
On July 2, 2004, Teledyne Investment, Inc., completed the acquisition of Reynolds Industries, Incorporated (Reynolds), headquartered in Los Angeles, California, for total consideration of $41.2 million which includes the payment of a purchase price adjustment and is net of cash acquired. Reynolds is a supplier of specialized high voltage connectors and subassemblies for defense, aerospace and industrial applications, as well as unique pilot helmet mounted display components and subsystems.
On June 18, 2004, Teledyne Technologies completed the acquisition of the stock of Isco, Inc. (Isco) for $16.00 per share in cash or $93.8 million net of cash acquired. Teledyne sold $17.3 million of marketable securities acquired as part of the Isco acquisition and applied the proceeds against debt. Isco, located in Lincoln, Nebraska, is a producer of water quality monitoring products such as wastewater samplers and open channel flow meters. Iscos liquid chromatography customers include pharmaceutical laboratories involved in drug discovery and development. Isco also manufactures chemical separation instruments for industrial and research use.
Iscos results have been included since the date of the acquisition. The pro forma information for 2004 below assumes that Isco had been acquired at the beginning of the 2004 fiscal year and includes the effect of amortization of acquired identifiable intangible assets as well as increased interest expense on acquisition debt. Iscos historical fiscal quarter-end had been approximately three weeks after Teledyne Technologies fiscal quarter-end. Iscos historical results were pro-rated to reflect the same number of days per period as reported by Teledyne Technologies for the 2004 period presented below. This pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition been in effect at the beginning of 2004. In addition, the pro forma results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any operating efficiencies or cost savings that might be achievable. The following table contains the pro forma results for the first quarter of 2004 and actual results for the first quarter of 2005.

In March 2005, Teledyne sold assets of STIP-Isco, a German subsidiary for $6.6 million. Teledyne received an initial payment of $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2005. An additional $1.4 million is held in escrow to be released to Teledyne as certain conditions are satisfied through February 2007. This business was acquired as part of the Isco acquisition made last year. In accordance with purchase accounting, no gain was recorded on the sale, goodwill was adjusted accordingly.
On February 27, 2004, Teledyne Tekmar Company acquired assets of Leeman Labs, Inc. (Leeman Labs), located in Hudson, New Hampshire, for $8.1 million in cash, which includes the payment of a purchase price adjustment. Leeman Labs product lines augment Teledynes existing laboratory and continuous monitoring instruments used in environmental applications.

On December 31, 2003, which is part of Teledynes 2004 fiscal year, Teledyne Technologies, through its wholly owned subsidiary Teledyne Wireless, Inc., acquired certain assets of the Filtronic Solid State (Solid State) business from Filtronic plc for $12.0 million in cash. Solid State designs and manufactures customized microwave subassemblies for electronic warfare, radar and other military applications. The business, which operates as Teledyne Microwave, was relocated from Santa Clara, California to Teledynes operations in Mountain View, California.
In all acquisitions, the results are included in the Companys consolidated financial statements from the date of each respective acquisition. Each of the above acquisitions is part of the Electronics and Communications segment. The allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of the defense assets of Celeritek was completed in the first quarter of 2005. The amount of goodwill and intangible assets recorded as of April 3, 2005 for the Celeritek acquisition, was $25.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The intangible assets acquired included technology ($1.8 million), customer contracts ($1.5 million), backlog ($0.5 million) and a supply agreement ($0.1 million). These intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average life of approximately 5.3 years.
Note 3. Comprehensive Income
Teledyne Technologies comprehensive income is comprised of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. Teledyne Technologies total comprehensive income for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004 consist of the following (in millions):
First Quarter | ||||||||
2005 | 2004 | |||||||

$ | 16.0 | $ | 6.2 | ||||
Note 4. Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed based on net earnings. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period was used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. This number of shares was increased by contingent shares that could be issued under various compensation plans as well as by the dilutive effect of stock options based on the treasury stock method in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Note 5. Stock-Based Compensation
The following disclosures are based on stock options held by Teledyne Technologies employees. Teledyne Technologies accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. Under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation expense is recognized because the exercise price of the Companys employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock at the date of the grant. The Company follows the requirements of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations and the disclosure only provision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure to require interim and annual disclosures about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.
As noted in the preceding paragraph, Teledyne Technologies accounts for its stock options under APB Opinion No. 25. If compensation cost for these options had been determined under the SFAS No. 123 fair-value method using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for stock options granted prior to 2005 and the lattice based binomial model for stock options granted in 2005, the impact on net income and earnings per share is presented in the following table (amounts in millions, except per share data):

Note 6. Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money-market mutual funds and bank deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased. There were no cash equivalents at April 3, 2005, compared with $3.9 million at January 2, 2005.
Note 7. Inventories
Inventories are primarily valued under the LIFO method. Since an actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on the Companys estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these are subject to many factors beyond the Companys control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. Inventories consist of the following (in millions):
Balance at | April 3, 2005 | January 2, 2005 | ||||||
Raw materials and supplies |
$ | 33.3 | $ | 35.8 | ||||

Note 8. Supplemental Balance Sheet Information
Other long-term assets included amounts related to deferred compensation, software and other intangible assets. Accrued liabilities included salaries and wages and other related compensation reserves of $36.7 million and $40.8 million at April 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, respectively. Other long-term liabilities included aircraft product liability reserves of $25.3 million and $21.3 million at April 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, respectively and deferred compensation liabilities of $13.8 million and $12.6 million at April 3, 2005 and January 2, 2005, respectively. Other long-term liabilities also included reserves for self-insurance, environmental liabilities and the long-term portion of compensation reserves.
Some of the Companys products are subject to specified warranties. The Company maintains a warranty reserve for the estimated future costs of repair, replacement or customer accommodation and periodically reviews this reserve for adequacy. Such review would generally include a review of historic warranty experience with respect to the applicable business or products, as well as the length and actual terms of the warranties. Changes in the Companys product warranty reserve during the period are as follows (in millions):

Note 9. Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate was 37.5% and 39.6% for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Note 10. Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease
At April 3, 2005, Teledyne Technologies had $65.0 million outstanding under its $280 million credit facility. Excluding interest and fees, no payments are due under the credit facility until the credit facility matures in June 2009. Available borrowing capacity under the credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and outstanding letters of credit, was $208.0 million at April 3, 2005. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants, including maintaining certain consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, as well as minimum net worth levels and limits on acquired debt. At April 3, 2005, the Company continues to be in compliance with these covenants. Total debt at April 3, 2005, includes the $65.0 million outstanding under the credit facility, $1.3 million outstanding under a $5.0 million credit line and a $3.9 million capital lease, of which $0.1 million is current.
Note 11. Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters
The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations which require that it investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations, including sites at which the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the federal Superfund laws and comparable state laws.
In accordance with the Companys accounting policy disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2004 Form 10-K, environmental liabilities are recorded when the Companys liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable. In many cases, however, investigations are not yet at a stage where the Company has been able to determine whether it is liable or, if liability is probable, to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss, or certain components thereof. Estimates of the Companys liability are further subject to uncertainties regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation standards, imprecise engineering evaluations and estimates of appropriate cleanup technology, methodology and cost, the extent of corrective actions that may be required, and the number and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation. Accordingly, as investigation and remediation of these sites proceeds, it is likely that adjustments in the Companys accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations in a given period, but the amounts, and the possible range of loss in excess of the amounts accrued, are not reasonably estimable. Based on currently available information, however, management does not believe that future environmental costs in excess of those accrued with respect to sites with which the Company has been identified are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or liquidity. However, there can be no assurance that additional future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
At April 3, 2005, the Companys reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled approximately $3.5 million, of which approximately $0.2 million were included in other current liabilities. The Company is evaluating whether it may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from its insurance carriers and from third parties.
The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site, including the nature and extent of contamination, the number of potentially responsible parties, the timing of regulatory approvals, the complexity of the investigation and remediation, and the standards for remediation. The Company expects that it will expend present accruals over many years, and will complete remediation of all sites with which it has been identified in up to thirty years.
10
Various claims (whether based on U.S. Government or Company audits and investigations or otherwise) have been or may be asserted against the Company related to its U.S. Government contract work, including claims based on business practices and cost classifications and actions under the False Claims Act. Although such claims are generally resolved by detailed fact-finding and negotiation, on those occasions when they are not so resolved, civil or criminal legal or administrative proceedings may ensue. Depending on the circumstances and the outcome, such proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages or the cancellation or suspension of payments under one or more U.S. Government contracts. Under government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or units, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts based on the results of investigations. However, although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe there is any audit, review or investigation currently pending against the Company of which management is aware that is likely to result in suspension or debarment of the Company, or that is otherwise likely to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations for that period.
The Company learns from time to time that it has been named as a defendant in civil actions filed under seal pursuant to the False Claims Act. Generally, since such cases are under seal, the Company does not in all cases possess sufficient information to determine whether the Company could sustain a material loss in connection with such cases, or to reasonably estimate the amount of any loss attributable to such cases. In October 2002, the Company was informed that the U.S. Government had declined to intervene in a lawsuit filed under seal, pursuant to the False Claims Act, more than fours years before. The Company believes that its Electronic Safety Products units involvement in this civil action is over, as the plaintiffs appeal of the Companys motion to dismiss this action has been denied and the plaintiffs petition for a rehearing en banc by the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit has also been denied. The Company believes the petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court must have been filed by March 21, 2005 to be timely. To the Companys knowledge, it was not filed by that date.
A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment and employee benefits. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations for that period. Teledyne has aircraft and product liability insurance with an annual self-insured retention for general aviation aircraft liabilities incurred in connection with products manufactured by Teledyne Continental Motors of $25.0 million. The Companys current aircraft product liability insurance policies expire on May 31, 2005. The Company is currently reviewing placement and structuring alternatives.
Note 12. Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits
Teledyne Technologies has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2004, both active and inactive, at its companies that perform government contract work and for Teledyne Technologies active employees at its companies that do not perform government contract work. As of January 1, 2004, non-union new hires participate in an enhanced defined contribution plan as opposed to the Companys existing defined benefit pension plan. The Companys assumed discount rate is 6.25% for 2005, compared with 6.5% in 2004. The Companys assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets was 8.5% in 2005 and 2004.
Teledyne Technologies net periodic pension expense was $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared with net periodic pension expense of $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2004 in accordance with the pension accounting requirements of SFAS No. 87. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) was $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with
11
no allocation in the first quarter of 2004. Under one of its spin-off agreements, since November 29, 2004, the Company is able to charge pension costs to the U.S. Government under certain government contracts. Pension expense determined under CAS can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. Government.
The Company sponsors several postretirement defined benefit plans covering certain salaried and hourly employees. The plans provide health care and life insurance benefits for certain eligible retirees.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Strategy
As Teledyne grows both organically and through acquisitions, it is working to become a simpler and more integrated operating company. Over time, Teledynes goal is to continue on our path of high quality revenue and earnings growth and create a more focused set of businesses that are truly superior in their niches. Teledyne does this by executing on two focused fronts: first, by strengthening and expanding specific platforms in core electronics, instruments and systems engineering businesses through organic growth and targeted acquisitions; and second, by pursuing operational excellence and margin expansion initiatives to continuously improve earnings. In addition, operational excellence to Teledyne means the rapid integration of the businesses it acquires. Teledyne continually evaluates its product lines to ensure that they are aligned with this strategy.
Results of Operations
Teledyne Technologies first quarter 2005 sales were $297.5 million, compared with sales of $219.6 million for the first quarter of 2004. Net income for the first quarter of 2005 was $15.8 million ($0.46 per diluted share), compared with net income of $5.9 million ($0.18 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2004.
The first quarter of 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, reflected higher sales in each business segment. The higher sales in the Electronics and Communications segment resulted from both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, including Isco Inc., acquired in June 2004; Reynolds Industries, Incorporated acquired in July 2004; Leeman Labs assets acquired in February 2004 and Celeriteks defense assets, acquired in October 2004. The incremental increase in revenue from acquisitions in 2005, compared with 2004, was $35.5 million.
The increase in earnings for the first quarter of 2005, compared with the same period of 2004, reflected improved operating profit in each business segment. The first quarter of 2005 included pretax SFAS No. 87 pension expense of $3.2 million compared with pretax pension expense of $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2004. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) was $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with no allocation in the first quarter of 2004. Incremental operating profit from acquisitions including synergies for the first quarter of 2005, compared with the first quarter of 2004, was $4.9 million.
Cost of sales in total dollars was higher in the first quarter of 2005, compared with the same period in 2004. The increase was in line with higher sales, partially offset by product mix differences. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of 2005 was slightly lower compared with the same period of 2004 and reflected higher sales volume and mix differences, as well as, the impact of recent acquisitions, which due to the nature of their business, carry a lower cost of sales expense as a percentage of sales than most of Teledynes other businesses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, in total dollars were higher in the first quarter of 2005, compared with the same period in 2004. This increase reflected higher sales and increased bid and proposal expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2005, as a percentage of sales, were slightly higher compared with the same period in 2004, which reflected the impact of recent acquisitions, which due to the nature of their business, carry a higher selling expense as a percentage of sales than most of Teledynes other businesses and higher corporate expenses, partially offset by higher volume. Corporate expense for the first quarter of 2005, compared with the first quarter of 2004, was impacted by higher compensation expense and greater professional fees expense which includes increased costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 compliance and auditing efforts.
Other income for the first quarter of 2005 includes the receipt of $2.5 million pursuant to an agreement with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. related to the piston engine business which is included as part of the Aerospace Engines and Components segment operating profit and other segment income for segment reporting purposes. Interest expense, net of interest income, was $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2004 and reflected the impact of higher average outstanding debt levels.
14
The Companys effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2005 was 37.5%, compared with 39.6% for the first quarter of 2004.

Electronics and Communications
The Electronics and Communications segments first quarter 2005 sales were $173.5 million, compared with first quarter 2004 sales of $116.4 million. First quarter 2005 operating profit was $20.1 million, compared with operating profit of $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2004.
First quarter 2005 sales, compared with the same period of 2004, reflected revenue growth in defense electronic products, electronic instruments, avionics products, electronic manufacturing services, relay products and telecommunication subsystems. The revenue growth in defense electronic products was driven by sales of traveling wave tubes, the acquisition of Reynolds Industries, Incorporated in July 2004 and the acquisition of the defense electronics business of Celeritek, Inc. in October 2004. Electronic instruments revenue was favorably impacted by the acquisition of Isco, Inc. in June 2004, the acquisition of Leeman Labs assets in February 2004, increased demand for geophysical sensors for the energy exploration market and increased sales of other instrument products. Electronic manufacturing services had increases in government and commercial sales while revenue growth in relay products was driven by wireless infrastructure and networking equipment as well as test and measurement equipment. The incremental increase in revenue from acquisitions for the first quarter of 2005, compared with the same period of 2004, was $35.5 million. Segment operating profit was favorably impacted by acquisitions and organic sales growth. Incremental operating profit from acquisitions including synergies for the first quarter of 2005, compared with the first quarter of 2004, was $4.9 million. Pension expense, in accordance with the pension accounting requirements of SFAS No. 87 was $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with $1.6 million
15
in the first quarter of 2004. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with no allocation in the first quarter of 2004.
Systems Engineering Solutions
The Systems Engineering Solutions segments first quarter 2005 sales were $70.5 million, compared with first quarter 2004 sales of $54.6 million. First quarter 2005 operating profit was $7.5 million, compared with operating profit of $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2004.
First quarter 2005 sales, compared with the same period of 2004, reflected revenue growth in core defense, environmental and aerospace programs. The higher operating profit in the first quarter of 2005, compared with the same period of 2004, was primarily the result of increased sales, partially offset by sales mix and rate differences and increased subcontract work in our systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA) contracts which carry lower profit margins. Segment operating profit included pension expense, under SFAS No. 87, of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2004. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with no allocation in the first quarter of 2004.
Aerospace Engines and Components
The Aerospace Engines and Components segments first quarter 2005 sales were $46.4 million, compared with first quarter 2004 sales of $42.9 million. The first quarter 2005 operating profit was $3.3 million, compared with operating loss of $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2004.
First quarter 2005 sales, compared with the same period of 2004, reflected revenue growth in OEM and aftermarket piston engines, partially offset by lower turbine engine sales. Sales from turbine engines were lower primarily due to reduced Improved Tactical Air-Launched Decoy (ITALD) engine sales, partially offset by higher Harpoon and Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) engine sales. Segment operating profit for the first quarter of 2005, compared with the same period of 2004, included the receipt of $2.5 million pursuant to an agreement with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. related to the piston engine business. Additionally, operating profit was favorably impacted by higher sales, partially offset by higher warranty expense. Segment operating profit included pension expense, under SFAS No. 87, of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2004.
Teledyne Energy Systems
The Energy Systems segments first quarter 2005 sales were $7.1 million, compared with first quarter 2004 sales of $5.7 million. First quarter 2005 operating profit was $0.5 million, compared with an operating profit of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2004.
The increase in first quarter 2005 sales resulted from the timing of multi-year government contracts which were awarded in 2003 for fuel cell and thermoelectric power generator work. Operating profit was favorably impacted by higher sales. Segment operating profit included pension expense, under SFAS No. 87, of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with no pension expense for the first quarter of 2004. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with no allocation in the first quarter of 2004.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Teledyne Technologies net cash provided by operating activities was $2.0 million for the first three months of 2005, compared with $8.2 million for the same period of 2004. The lower net cash provided in the first three months of 2005, compared with the first three months of 2004, is due to increased accounts receivable resulting from higher sales and greater inventory balances due to anticipated sales in the second quarter of 2005, a $1.7 million pension contribution and higher compensation payments made in the first quarter of 2005, partially offset by greater net income.
Teledyne Technologies net cash provided by investing activities was $1.9 million for the first three months of 2005, compared with net cash used of $23.3 million for the first three months of 2004. The 2005 amount included the receipt of $5.2 million from the sale of the assets of STIP-Isco, a German subsidiary. In March 2005, Teledyne sold assets of STIP- Isco for $6.6 million. Of this amount, $1.4 million is held in escrow to be released to Teledyne as certain conditions are satisfied through February 2007. This business was acquired as part of the Isco acquisition made last year. In accordance with purchase accounting, no gain was recorded on the sale, goodwill was adjusted accordingly. The 2005 amount included $3.3 million for capital expenditures. The 2004 amount included $20.0 million for the purchase of businesses and $3.3 million for capital expenditures. On February 27, 2004, Teledyne Tekmar Company acquired assets of Leeman Labs, Inc., for $8.0 million in cash. On December 31, 2003, which is part of Teledynes 2004 fiscal year, Teledyne Wireless, Inc. acquired certain assets of the Filtronic Solid State business from Filtronic plc for $12.0 million in cash.
Cash used by financing activities for the first three months of 2005 included the repayment of debt of $7.4 million, offset, in part, by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $4.3 million. The first three months of 2004 included the proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.3 million.
Working capital was $159.6 million at April 3, 2005, compared with $124.4 million at the end of 2004. The increase in working capital was primarily due to increased accounts receivable resulting from higher sales and greater inventory balances due to anticipated sales in the second quarter of 2005.
The allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of the defense assets of Celeritek was completed in the first quarter of 2005. The amount of goodwill and intangible assets recorded as of April 3, 2005 for the Celeritek acquisition, was $25.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The intangible assets acquired included technology ($1.8 million), customer contracts ($1.5 million), backlog ($0.5 million) and a supply agreement ($0.1 million). These intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average life of approximately 5.3 years.
Teledyne Technologies principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures, pension contributions and debt service requirements, as well as to fund acquisitions. It is anticipated that operating cash flow, together with available borrowings under the credit facility described below, will be sufficient to meet these requirements and could be used to fund some acquisitions in the year 2005. To support acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital. Teledyne Technologies currently expects capital expenditures to be approximately $23.0 million in 2005, of which $3.3 million has been spent in the first three months of 2005.
Available borrowing capacity under the $280.0 million credit facility, which is reduced by borrowings and outstanding letters of credit, was $208.0 million at April 3, 2005. Excluding interest and fees, no payments are due under the credit facility until the credit facility matures in June 2009.
Our liquidity is not dependent upon the use of off-balance sheet financial arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangements that incorporate the use of special purpose entities or unconsolidated entities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and may potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Our critical accounting policies continue to be the following: revenue recognition; impairment of long-lived assets; accounting for income
17
taxes; inventories and related allowance for obsolete and excess inventory; aircraft product liability reserve; accounting for pension plans; and accounting for business combinations. For additional discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Teledyne Technologies Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2005 (2004 Form 10-K).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R, Share Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) that will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation costs will be measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity or liability instrument issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes SFAS No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123R must be adopted in the first quarter of 2006, however, early adoption is allowed. If the Company elects to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective in the third quarter of 2005, the impact is expected to reduce pretax earnings by $2.6 million in the second half of 2005.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43 Chapter 4 (SFAS No. 151). SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. SFAS No. 151 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have any impact on the Company.
Outlook
Based on its current outlook, the Companys management believes that second quarter 2005 earnings per share will be in the range of approximately $0.37 to $0.40. The full year 2005 earnings per share outlook is expected to be in the range of approximately $1.50 to $1.55. The Companys estimated effective income tax rate for 2005 is 37.5%.
The Companys 2005 outlook reflects anticipated sales growth in defense electronics and instrumentation businesses, primarily due to the full-year effect of the Companys 2004 acquisitions. Organic sales growth of electronic instruments is expected to be offset by a reduction in sales of geophysical sensors for the energy exploration market. The Companys management also expects revenue in its Systems Engineering segment to have peaked in the first quarter of 2005, due in part to favorable timing on certain chemical weapons demilitarization programs and the Companys systems engineering and technical assistance contract with the U.S. Army. In addition, revenues in the Companys Energy Systems segment and its military turbine engine business are expected to be lower in the second half of 2005 compared with the second half of 2004.
The full year 2005 earnings outlook includes approximately $12.7 million ($0.23 per share) in pension expense under SFAS No. 87, or $3.4 million ($0.06 per share) in net pension expense after recovery of allowable pension costs from our CAS covered government contracts. Full year 2004 earnings included $8.7 million ($0.16 per share) in pension expense under SFAS No. 87, or $8.2 million ($0.15 per share) in net pension expense after recovery of allowable pension costs from our CAS covered government contracts. The decrease in pension expense reflects, in part, the ability to recover pension cost from the government in 2005, partially offset by increased pension liability due to a reduction in the discount rate assumption for the Companys defined benefit plan. The Companys assumed discount rate is 6.25% in 2005, compared with 6.5% in 2004.
As noted above, the Company will be required to recognize compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. If the company elects to adopt SFAS
18
No. 123R effective in the third quarter of 2005, the impact is expected to reduce earnings per share by approximately $0.05 in the second half of 2005.

Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement Regarding Outlook and Forward-Looking Information
From time to time the Company makes, and this report contains forward looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, relating to earnings, growth opportunities, capital expenditures, pension matters, stock option expense and strategic plans. All statements made in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that are not historical in nature should be considered forward-looking. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors, including changes in demand for products sold to the semiconductor, communications and commercial aviation and energy exploration markets, funding, continuation and award of government programs, changes in insurance expense, customers acceptance of piston engine price increases, continued liquidity of our customers (including commercial airline customers) and economic and political conditions, could change the anticipated results. In addition, financial market fluctuations affect the value of the Companys pension assets.
Global responses to terrorism and other perceived threats increase uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements about our businesses. Various responses to terrorism and perceived threats could realign government programs, and affect the composition, funding or timing of our programs. Flight restrictions would negatively impact the market for general aviation aircraft piston engines and components.
The Company continues to take action to assure compliance with the internal controls, disclosure controls and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While the Company believes its control systems are effective, there are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
While Teledyne Technologies growth strategy includes possible acquisitions, the Company cannot provide any assurance as to when, if or on what terms any acquisitions will be made. Acquisitions, including recent acquisitions involve various inherent risks, such as, among others, our ability to integrate acquired businesses and to achieve identified financial and operating synergies.
Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements is contained in Teledyne Technologies periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its 2004 Form 10-K and this Form 10-Q. The Company assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements.

Teledyne Technologies disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Companys Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation and assistance of other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures, as of April 3, 2005, are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company that is required to be included in its SEC periodic filings.
In connection with its evaluation during the quarterly period ended April 3, 2005, the Company has made no change in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal controls over financial reporting. There also were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified for which corrective action needed to be taken.
