ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
-----------------
OVERALL
GENERAL
Allen Telecom Inc. ("Allen Telecom", the "Company" or the "Registrant")
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 3, 1969.
Its predecessor was Allen Electric and Equipment Company, incorporated under the
laws of the State of Michigan on January 13, 1928, which merged into the
Delaware corporation on May 1, 1969. On February 28, 1997, the name of the
Company was changed from The Allen Group Inc. to Allen Telecom Inc., upon the
merger of its wholly owned subsidiary, Allen Telecom Group, Inc. with and into
the Company.
The Company is a major supplier of telecommunications equipment,
including site management products, systems expansion and optimization products,
mobile and base station antennas, test and measurement equipment, and E911
geolocation products and services, and wireless engineering services to the
worldwide wireless communications market.
There have been no significant changes in the business, kinds of
products produced or services rendered or in the markets or methods of
distribution since the beginning of the last fiscal year.
On March 1, 1999, the Company sold its MARTA Technologies, Inc.
subsidiary, which operated its discontinued centralized automotive emissions
testing programs, to a subsidiary of Environmental Systems Products, Inc.
Additional information regarding this development is incorporated herein by
reference to Note 9, "Acquisitions and Dispositions," of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements" on pages 24 and 25, and to the "Discontinued
Operations" section of "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" on page 30 of Allen Telecom's 1999 Annual
Report to Stockholders, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 13 to this Annual
Report.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING
GENERAL
The Company's Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturing business
segment consists of three product lines: Systems Products, Site Management and
Other Non-Antenna Products, and Mobile and Base Station Antennas.
The Company's Systems Products support both coverage and capacity
enhancement for GSM, TDMA, CDMA and analog wireless carriers. Products include
high power and low power repeaters to fill coverage gaps caused by obstructions,
such as mountains, tunnels, and buildings, and fiber optic-based radio frequency
distribution systems, such as its Britecell(TM) product. Indoor coverage systems
are provided generally using fiber as a means of distribution, including its
Distributed Indoor Coverage Extension System ("DICE(TM)"), as well as a
cable-based indoor system for smaller, lower cost installations. The Company
also has developed a range of test equipment and software to test and optimize
wireless networks, such as its I.Q. Analyzer(TM), Surveyor(TM) and
Illuminator(TM) products.
Many of the major wireless system infrastructure vendors incorporate
components or subsystems from Allen Telecom's Site Management and Other
Non-Antenna Products. The Company is one of the world's largest suppliers of
cell site subsystems, supplying many different customized modules that are
incorporated in original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") cell sites. Site
Management products include sophisticated filters, which ensure that incoming
signals are received and outgoing signals are transmitted clearly and without
interference,
-3-
4
duplexers, which are stationed at most cell site transceivers to allow one
antenna to be used for both transmission and reception of radio signals
simultaneously, and low noise, tower mounted, multicarrier and single carrier
power amplifiers, which enhance the reception of weak signals or boost outgoing
signals. Allen Telecom also manufacturers auto-tune combiners, which adjust
instantly and automatically to new frequencies as the system is modified, among
other products.
Allen Telecom is a leading North American supplier of base station
antennas to the global wireless OEMs and wireless service providers through its
Mobile and Base Station Antennas product line. Products include antennas in
frequency bands to cover all digital cellular and PCS networks, as well as the
analog networks. New base station antenna models include, for example, the
Decibel TripleTree(TM), which incorporates all six of the antennas required for
a three sector site in a single 12 inch diameter housing, MaxFill(TM), which
concentrates RF below the horizon and provides even radiation density, and
MaxGain(TM), which focuses radiation energy to maximize geographic coverage. The
Company is a leading supplier of mobile automobile antennas, which operate on
both cellular, PCS and dual-band frequencies, as well as antennas for Global
Positioning Systems ("GPS").
The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") has mandated that by 2001
all providers of wireless phone services will begin to provide the location
where an emergency 911 call originates. The Company has developed a geolocation
technology solution, Geometrix(TM), to provide carriers with the equipment and
software to locate subscribers in their system. This geolocation technology has
been tested and is available for CDMA, TDMA, iDEN and analog systems. Further
field trials will be conducted before this product is brought to market, and the
Company is hopeful that this product and technology will achieve market
acceptance.
In 1999, the Company initiated a number of cost reduction efforts
within the Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturing segment to improve and
adjust operations to existing market conditions. These actions include, among
others, the closure of a domestic manufacturing facility and the transfer of
most of manufacturing operations of the closed plant to Italy. This will result
in a reduction in force (and related termination costs) and the sale of this
domestic manufacturing plant (resulting in the non-cash loss of various assets).
In addition, the Company has discontinued several product lines at its Site
Management, Antenna and Systems divisions, and has closed a sales and
engineering office in Mexico City. As a result of asset write-offs, severance
and other costs associated with such actions, this segment incurred before-tax
charges for the year of $11.9 million.
PRODUCTION, RAW MATERIALS, AND SUPPLIES
Allen Telecom's telecommunications equipment products generally are
manufactured or assembled by the Company. Outside of the United States, the
Company's manufacturing operations are in Italy, Germany, France, Mexico,
Australia, China and Brazil. Allen Telecom's European operations outsource a
substantial portion of product manufacturing labor to third parties. Products
are sold directly through salaried and commissioned sales employees or through
distributors and sales representatives to OEMs, common carriers and other large
users of telecommunications products. In addition to manufacturing certain
products, Allen Telecom also assembles at its facilities certain components
manufactured for it by non-affiliated companies.
The principal materials used in the production and assembly of Allen
Telecom's products are purchased electronic components and subassemblies, steel,
aluminum, copper and plastics. These materials are purchased regularly from
several producers and have been generally available in sufficient quantities to
meet Allen Telecom's requirements, although occasionally shortages have
occurred. The Company believes that the supplies of materials through the end of
2000 will be adequate.
SEASONAL TRENDS
Generally, sales and earnings for telecommunications equipment
manufacturing tend to be slightly lower in the first fiscal quarter due to lower
outdoor installations of its products in the northern climates. Due to the
unsettled climate for the global wireless telecommunications market, such
seasonal variability was not evident in 1999.
-4-
5
WORKING CAPITAL
The Company's products consist of manufactured products for which
inventory levels are generally based on product demand. The Company produces
sophisticated equipment that could be subject to technological obsolescence. The
Company maintains and periodically revises reserves for excess inventory based
on the most current information available of anticipated usage requirements. As
previously indicated, a significant portion of the segment's revenues is derived
from international sales, which has generally resulted in extended collection
periods as compared to its domestic business.
In 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Nextwave Telecom
Inc. ("Nextwave") whereby Nextwave had agreed to purchase from the Company
$50,000,000 of equipment and services through December 31, 2001. In connection
with this purchase commitment, subject to certain preconditions that have not
occurred, the Company would make available up to $50,000,000 of product
financing in the form of secured, interest-bearing loans to be used solely to
finance the purchase price of the equipment and services supplied by the
Company, of which approximately $2,000,000 was purchased and financed to
date. In 1998, Nextwave and certain of its subsidiaries filed for relief under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; accordingly, this commitment is
unlikely to be fulfilled at this time.
If the Company is successful in developing its E-911 geolocation
business, it may be called upon to provide financing for a large equipment
network or to develop a service bureau for one or more carriers. The Company
believes that external financial resources should be available to support the
successful development of this business.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Within the Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturing segment, there is
no single customer the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the
Company. However, four major telecommunications equipment companies accounted
for approximately 28% (none individually greater than 10%) of segment sales in
1999. The balance of the segment's sales were widely distributed among many
customers.
WIRELESS ENGINEERING SERVICES
GENERAL
Allen Telecom's Wireless Engineering Services is a leading supplier of
frequency planning and coordinating services as well as system design and field
engineering services for the wireless and PCS markets. The Company provides
consulting services to assist with determining the appropriate system in light
of the coverage required, topography and area demographics. Allen Telecom's
engineering expertise in spectrum sharing, microwave interconnectivity,
microwave migration and cell system design has enabled it to obtain orders from
most major PCS carriers. The Company's spectrum sharing software, IQ.Clear(R),
currently is licensed in most major domestic PCS markets, and its IQ.Link(TM)
software for microwave interconnection is operational in several European PCS
systems. Engineering services are distributed primarily through in-house
salaried sales employees to telecom service providers.
SEASONAL TRENDS
Generally, sales and earnings for wireless engineering services are not
subject to significant seasonal variations.
-5-
6
MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Within wireless engineering services, there is no single customer the
loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, four
customers accounted for approximately 24% of segment sales in 1999 (none
individually greater than 10%). The balance of the segment's sales was widely
distributed among many customers.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company engages in research and development activities
(substantially all of which are Company-sponsored) as part of its ongoing
business. The Company emphasizes the development of new technologies, products
and software for the wireless telecommunications markets. Currently, these
development activities are not expected to require a material investment in
assets. For information concerning these expenditures, see "Research and
Development Costs" in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on
page 17 of Allen Telecom's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders, a copy of which
is filed as Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
The Company is subject to federal, state and local laws designed to
protect the environment and believes that, as a general matter, its policies,
practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of
environmental damage and financial liability to the Company. Additional
information regarding environmental issues is incorporated herein by reference
to the last paragraph of Note 5, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 21 of Allen Telecom's 1999 Annual
Report to Stockholders, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 13 to this Annual
Report.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1999, Allen Telecom had approximately 2,200
employees.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS, FOREIGN OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES
Information relating to the Company's business segments, foreign and
domestic operations and export sales is incorporated herein by reference to
"Geographic Data" in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on
page 24, and the information presented in the bar charts on page 28, of Allen
Telecom's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders, a copy of which is filed as
Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report.
With the opportunities presented by the rapid deployment of wireless
telecommunications systems throughout the world, international sales have become
a majority of the Company's revenue. The Company's export sales from the United
States were $39.6 in 1999, $71.6 million in 1998 and $103.9 million in 1997. In
1999, international sales constituted 62% of total Telecommunications Equipment
Manufacturing sales, and 23% of total Wireless Engineering Services sales. The
international opportunities for the Company's products have encouraged the
Company to continue to expand the size and scope of its international
operations. As seen in Item 2, "Properties," the Company's foreign manufacturing
operations are located mainly in Europe. In the opinion of management, any
financial risks inherent in Allen Telecom's existing foreign operations are not
substantially different than the financial risks inherent in its domestic
operations.
In 1999, continued weakness in Asia and some parts of South America
contributed to the overall weakness in sales. In addition, the domestic wireless
market was weak for the company due to limited capital expenditures by certain
wireless carriers. The Company is encouraged, however, by the quarter-to-quarter
increases in sales throughout 1999, where second half 1999 sales were 18% higher
than first half 1999 sales.

PATENTS, LICENSES, AND FRANCHISES
The Company's Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturing and Wireless
Engineering Services segments own a number of patents, trademarks and copyrights
and conduct certain operations under licenses granted by others. Although the
Company does not believe that the expiration or loss of any one of these items
would materially affect its business considered as a whole, it does consider
certain of them to be important to the conduct of its business in certain
product lines. Business franchises and concessions are not of material
importance to Allen Telecom.
BACKLOG
The approximate order backlog as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as
follows (amounts in thousands):
1999 1998
---- ----
Telecommunications equipment manufacturing $83,600 $51,900
Wireless engineering services 1,300 900
------- -------
Backlog (all expected to be filled within one year) $84,900 $52,800
======= =======
In 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Nextwave, whereby
Nextwave agreed to purchase from the Company $50,000,000 of equipment and
services through December 31, 2001. In 1998, Nextwave and certain of its
subsidiaries filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code; accordingly, this commitment is unlikely to be fulfilled at this time.
This purchase commitment has been excluded from the above-mentioned order
backlog amounts.
COMPETITION
Competition is vigorous for both the telecommunications equipment
manufacturing and wireless engineering services segments. The Company believes
that it is among the major manufacturers in its product lines, and that
competition is widely distributed. Allen Telecom's principal methods of
competition include performance, service, warranty, market availability, product
research and development, innovation and price. In certain of its product lines,
the Company has augmented its own resources through licensing agreements with
companies possessing complementary resources and technologies. The demand for
equipment and services is primarily a function of the development of new and
expanded wireless communications systems throughout the world, and Allen
Telecom's ability to develop new products and technologies related to system
coverage and capacity and components for other manufacturers' wireless
communications systems.

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES
At December 31, 1999, Allen Telecom's operations were conducted in 51
facilities in 11 states and 20 countries. Allen Telecom's Telecommunications
Equipment Manufacturing segment occupies approximately 850,000 square feet of
space for manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, research and development, sales
and administrative offices. Of this amount, approximately 632,000 square feet
are rented under operating leases. The Company's principal manufacturing and
service facilities for Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturing are located in
Ohio, Texas, Virginia, Nevada, China, Brazil, Italy, Germany, France, and
Mexico. The Company's Wireless Engineering Services are provided primarily at
one leased facility in Virginia, as well as at customer locations.
Information concerning the square footage of the Company's operations
by segment at December 31, 1999 is as follows (amounts in thousands):
DOMESTIC FOREIGN

Total 330 516 200 213 1,259
=== === === === =====
Allen Telecom's machinery, plants, warehouses and offices are in good
condition, and are reasonably suited and adequate for the purposes for which
they are presently used. Due to the economic uncertainty in the global wireless
telecommunications markets, the Company's facilities are generally not fully
utilized at December 31, 1999.
The square footage of "other" properties above consists of a
manufacturing facility of 84,000 square feet owned by the Company relating to a
previously-owned operation (which is leased to a third party), two manufacturing
facilities totalling 228,000 square feet owned by the Company which are not in
use and are held for sale, and a lease for its Corporate office space.
