PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The information set forth under "Company Description" which appears on pages 6
through 10 of the Company's 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders is incorporated
herein by reference. For information as to export sales, see the information set
forth under "Export Sales" included on page 31 of the Company's 2003 Annual
Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

Automotive vehicle access systems, which are both theft deterrent and end user
friendly, are being developed as mechanical-electrical devices. Electronic
companies are developing user identification systems such as bio-systems, card
holder (transmitter) systems, etc., while locks and door latches are
metamorphosing to accommodate the electronics. This will result in more secure
vehicles and eventually passive entry and passive start. The Company believes it
is positioning itself as a vehicle security system supplier by building its
product, engineering and manufacturing expertise in the required
electro-mechanical products, that include vehicle access latches, keys with
assembled remote entry electronic systems, and passive entry systems.

Vehicle access modules that pre-assemble and pre-test individual components
allow assembly cost reductions at the original equipment manufacturer and the
potential for the introduction of different components.

Innovations in alternative materials could potentially eliminate the need for
grease and hexavalent chromiom, reduce mass and offer potential cost reductions
for suppliers and original equipment manufacturers.

These technologies benefit the Company by increasing the potential customer base
as a tier 2 supplier while attaining tier 1 status on some product lines and
adding additional product line availability.

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS

The primary raw materials used by the Company are high-grade zinc, brass, steel
and plastic resins. These materials are generally available from a number of
suppliers, but the Company has chosen to concentrate its sourcing with one
primary vendor for each commodity. The Company believes its sources for raw
materials are very reliable and adequate for its needs. The Company has not
experienced any significant long term supply problems in its operations and does
not anticipate any significant supply problems in the foreseeable future. See
further discussion under "Risk Factors" included on page 17 of the Company's
2003 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Company believes that the success of its business will not only result from
the technical competence, creativity and marketing abilities of its employees
but also from the protection of its intellectual property through patents,
trademarks and copyrights. As part of its ongoing research, development and
manufacturing activities, the Company has a policy of seeking patents on new
products, processes and improvements when appropriate. The Company owns 33
issued United States patents, with expirations occurring between 2010 and 2021.

Although, in the aggregate, the patents discussed above are of considerable
importance to the manufacturing and marketing of many of its products, the
Company does not consider any single patent or trademark or group of patents or
trademarks to be material to its business as a whole, except for the STRATTEC
and STRATTEC with logo trademarks.

The Company also relies upon trade secret protection for its confidential and
proprietary information. The Company maintains confidentiality agreements with
its key executives. In addition, the Company enters into confidentiality
agreements with selected suppliers, consultants and associates as appropriate to
evaluate new products or business relationships pertinent to the success of the
Company. However, there can be no assurance that others will not independently
obtain similar information and techniques or otherwise gain access to the
Company's trade secrets or that the Company can effectively protect its trade
secrets.

DEPENDENCE UPON SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

A very significant portion of the Company's annual sales are to General Motors
Corporation, Delphi Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and DaimlerChrysler
Corporation. These four customers accounted for approximately 82 percent to 84
percent of the Company's total net sales in each fiscal year 2001 through 2003.
Further information regarding sales to the Company's largest customers is set
forth under "Risk Factors" included on page 16 of the Company's 2003 Annual
Report to Shareholders and "Sales and Receivable Concentration" included on page
31 of the Company's 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders, both of which are
incorporated herein by reference.

The products sold to these customers are model specific, fitting only certain
defined applications. Consequently, the Company is highly dependent on its major
customers for their business, and on these customers' ability to produce and
sell vehicles which utilize the Company's products. The Company has enjoyed
relationships with General Motors Corporation, DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford
Motor Company, and Delphi Corporation in the past, and expects to do so in the
future. However, a significant change in the purchasing practices of, or a
significant loss of volume from, one or more of these customers could have a
detrimental effect on the Company's financial performance.

SALES AND MARKETING

The Company provides its customers with engineered locksets, steering column
lock housings and latches, which are unique to specific vehicles. Any given
vehicle will typically take 1 to 3 years of development and engineering design
time prior to being offered to the public. The locksets, lock housings and
latches are designed concurrently with the vehicle. Therefore, commitment to the
Company as the production source occurs 1 to 3 years prior to the start of
production. The Company employs an engineering staff that assists in providing
design and technical solutions to its customers. The Company believes that its
engineering expertise is a competitive advantage and contributes toward its
strong market position. For example, the Company believes it has recently
provided innovative design proposals for new model ignition locks, door locks,
tailgate latches and ignition housing locks to its customers that will improve
vehicle security system quality, theft deterrence and system cost.

The typical process used by automotive manufacturers in selecting a lock, lock
housing or latch supplier is to offer the business opportunity to the Company
and various of the Company's competitors. Each competitor will pursue the
opportunity, doing its best to provide the customer with the most attractive
proposal. Price pressure is strong during this process but once an agreement is
reached, the price is fixed for each year of the product program. Typically,
price reductions resulting from productivity improvement by the Company are
included in the contract and are estimated in evaluating each of these
opportunities by the Company. A blanket purchase order, a contract indicating a
specified part will be supplied at a specified price during a defined time
period, is issued by customers for each model year. Product run releases or
quantity commitments, are made to that purchase order for weekly deliveries to
the customer. As a consequence and because the Company is a "Just-in-Time"
supplier to the automotive industry, it does not maintain a backlog of orders in
the classic sense for future production and shipment.

COMPETITION

The Company competes with domestic and foreign-based competitors on the basis of
custom product design, engineering support, quality, delivery and price. While
the number of direct competitors is currently relatively small, the automotive
manufacturers actively encourage competition between potential suppliers. The
Company has a dominant share of the North American market because of its ability
to provide total value, which is a beneficial combination of price, quality,
technical support, program management innovation and aftermarket support. In
order to reduce lockset or housing production costs while still offering a wide
range of technical support, the Company utilizes assembly and component
manufacturing operations in Mexico, which results in lower labor costs as
compared to the United States.

As locks become more sophisticated and involve additional electronics,
competitors with specific electronic expertise may emerge to challenge the
Company. To address this, the Company is strengthening its electrical
engineering knowledge and service. It is also working with several electronics
suppliers to jointly develop and supply these advanced products.

The Company's lockset and housing competitors include Huf North America,
Ushin-Ortech, Tokai-Rika, Alpha-Tech Valeo, Methode, Internet, and Comtech. For
additional information related to competition, see the information set forth
under "Risk Factors" included on page 18 of the Company's 2003 Annual Report to
Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.

3



RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company engages in research and development activities pertinent to
automotive access control. A major area of focus for research is the expanding
role of vehicle access via electronic interlocks and modes of communicating
authorization data between consumers and vehicles. Development activities
include new products, applications and product performance improvement. In
addition, specialized data collection equipment is developed to facilitate
increased product development efficiency and continuous quality improvements.
For fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001, the Company spent $2,400,000, $2,200,000,
and $2,380,000, respectively, on research and development. The Company believes
that, historically, it has committed sufficient resources to research and
development and anticipates increasing such expenditures in the future as
required to support additional product programs associated with both existing
and new customers. Patents are pursued and will continue to be pursued as
appropriate to protect the Company's interests resulting from these activities.

CUSTOMER TOOLING

The Company incurs costs related to tooling used in component production and
assembly. See the information set forth under "Customer Tooling in Progress"
included on page 24 of the Company's 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders, which
is incorporated herein by reference.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

As is the case with other manufacturers, the Company is subject to federal,
state, local and foreign laws and other legal requirements relating to the
generation, storage, transport, treatment and disposal of materials as a result
of its housing, lock and key manufacturing and assembly operations. These laws
include the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (as amended), the Clean Air
Act (as amended), the Clean Water Act of 1990 (as amended) and the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (as amended). The Company
has an environmental management system that is ISO-14001 certified. The Company
believes that its existing environmental management system is adequate and it
has no current plans for substantial capital expenditures in the environmental
area.

As discussed in "Commitments and Contingencies" included on page 26 of the
Company's 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by
reference, a site at the Company's Milwaukee facility is contaminated by a
solvent spill from an above-ground solvent storage tank, located on the east
side of the facility, which occurred in 1985. This situation is being monitored
by the Company.

The Company does not currently anticipate any materially adverse impact on its
financial statements or competitive position as a result of compliance with
federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws or other legal
requirements. However, risk of environmental liability and charges associated
with maintaining compliance with environmental laws is inherent in the nature of
the Company's business and there is no assurance that material liabilities or
charges could not arise.

EMPLOYEES

At June 29, 2003, the Company had approximately 2,245 full-time employees, of
which approximately 400 or 18% percent were represented by a labor union, which
accounts for all production associates at the Company's Milwaukee facility.
During June 2001, there was a 16-day strike by the represented employees at the
Company's Milwaukee facility. Further information regarding the strike, work
stoppages and other labor matters is discussed under "Management's Discussion
and Analysis" which appears on pages 12 through 19 of the Company's 2003 Annual
Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company maintains its corporate website at www.strattec.com and makes
available, free of charge, through this website its annual report on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended). Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information
relating to the Company required to be included in the Company's periodic
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that in
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
The Company has designed its disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level
of reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and, based
on the evaluation described above, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were effective at reaching that level of reasonable assurance.

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) during the Company's most recently completed fiscal quarter
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of STRATTEC
SECURITY CORPORATION and subsidiaries, as of July 1, 2001, and July 2, 2000, and
the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended July 1, 2001. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the 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 financial position of STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION
and subsidiaries, as of July 1, 2001, and July 2, 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
July 1, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.
