The Company was incorporated in New York in 1966 as Phase Industries Inc., and changed its name to American Technical Ceramics Corp. in June 1984. The Company was merged into a Delaware corporation in 1985 in order to change its jurisdiction of incorporation. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to the Company herein include American Technical Ceramics Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. On September 25, 2007, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of AVX. See ‘‘Introductory Note.’’ The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets radio frequency (RF)/Microwave/ Millimeter-Wave ceramic capacitors, thin film products and other passive components. The Company’s products are focused primarily in the high reliability market for ultra-high frequency and microwave applications including wireless electronics, medical electronics, semiconductor equipment, satellite equipment and fiber optics. Capacitors function within electronic circuits by storing and discharging precise amounts of electrical power. Thin film products are ceramic substrates on which circuit patterns are printed by means of thin film processes, and are used by customers as building blocks in electronic circuits. The Company’s line of high power, passive resistance products include standard resistors, terminators, attenuators and other customized products which are used in many of the same types of equipment as the Company’s capacitor products. The Company has also begun offering, on a limited basis, certain products based upon a new high density electronic packaging technology, referred to as Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramics, or LTCC, for use in radio frequency and microwave frequency broadband applications.
