Recent Developments

Selected Preliminary First Quarter Results for TransDigm

While we have not yet finalized our financial statements for our first quarter ended December 30, 2006, we currently expect to report net sales of approximately $123 million for the three months ended December 30, 2006 compared to $100 million in net sales for the comparable period last year. We expect to report net income, EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined for the three months ended December 30, 2006 of approximately $20 million, $54 million and $56 million, respectively, compared to net income, EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined of $9 million, $39 million and $43 million, respectively, for the comparable period last year. The net sales growth for the three months ended December 30, 2006 is approximately 75% organic and 25% acquisition driven, with a particularly strong quarter of commercial aftermarket sales being the largest contributor to the organic sales growth and commercial OEM and defense sales contributing to organic sales growth to a lesser degree.

These selected first quarter financial results are estimates and are subject to change. We and our auditors have not completed each of our and their normal quarterly review procedures for the three months ended December 30, 2006 and there can be no assurance that our final results for this three month period will not differ from these estimates, including as a result of quarter-end closing procedures or review adjustments and any such changes could be material. In addition, these estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for full interim financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our performance. Finally, investors should be aware that our expected results for the three-month period ended December 30, 2006 are unaudited. As a result of the foregoing considerations, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this preliminary financial information. See "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements."

Summary Historical and Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data

TD Group was formed in July 2003 under the name TD Holding Corporation to facilitate the consummation of the Mergers. TD Group does not have any operations other than through its ownership of its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

The following table sets forth summary historical consolidated financial and other data of TD Group for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, which have been derived from TD Group's audited consolidated financial statements. Separate historical financial information for TransDigm Inc. is not presented since TD Group has no operations or assets (other than immaterial cash balances) separate from its investment in TransDigm Inc.

On July 9, 2004, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Avionic Instruments, Inc., or Avionic. On December 31, 2004, Skurka Aerospace Inc., or Skurka, acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Skurka Engineering Company. On January 28, 2005, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Fluid Regulators Corporation, or Fluid Regulators. On June 30, 2005, Skurka acquired an aerospace motor product line from Eaton Corporation. On May 1, 2006, Skurka acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Electra-Motion, Inc. On June 12, 2006, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Sweeney Engineering Corp., or Sweeney Engineering. All of the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases. The results of operations of the acquired entities, businesses and product line are included in TD Group's consolidated financial statements from the date of each of the acquisitions.

The following table also sets forth summary pro forma consolidated financial data as of and for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2006, which we have derived from and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited pro forma consolidated financial and other data included elsewhere herein. The unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations data set forth below gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on October 1, 2005 and the unaudited consolidated pro forma balance sheet data set forth below gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred as of September 30, 2006. The summary pro forma consolidated financial information set forth below should not be considered indicative of actual results that would have been achieved had the Transactions occurred on the respective dates indicated and do not purport to indicate balance sheet data or results of operations as of any future date or for any future period. We cannot assure you that the assumptions used in the preparation of the pro forma consolidated financial information will prove to be correct.

We present below certain financial information based on our EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined and Adjusted EBITDA As Defined. None of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined or Adjusted EBITDA As Defined is a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and none of these financial measures should be considered an alternative to net income or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined and Adjusted EBITDA As Defined may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies. While we believe that the presentation of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined and Adjusted EBITDA As Defined will enhance an investor's understanding of our operating performance, the use of each of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined and Adjusted EBITDA As Defined as analytical tools has limitations and you should not consider any of them in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined and Adjusted EBITDA As Defined to net income, please refer to the table below. For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, including a more detailed description with respect to the limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of TD Group for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 28, 2006 (the "Annual Report").

The information presented below should be read together with "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere herein and in the Annual Report.

PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

The following pro forma condensed consolidated financial data is based on the historical financial statements of TD Group and ATI, adjusted to give pro forma effect to the Transactions. The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred as of September 30, 2006. The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2006 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had been consummated on October 1, 2005, the first day of TD Group's most recently completed fiscal year.

Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments necessary to fairly present this pro forma information are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with this pro forma condensed consolidated financial data. The pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes have been made based on available information and, in the opinion of management, are reasonable. The pro forma condensed consolidated financial data should not be considered indicative of actual results that would have been achieved had the Transactions occurred on the respective dates indicated and do not purport to indicate balance sheet data or results of operations as of any future date or for any future period. We cannot assure you that the assumptions used in the preparation of the pro forma condensed consolidated financial data will prove to be correct.

The proposed acquisition of ATI by TransDigm will be accounted for as a purchase in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 141,Business Combinations, with intangible assets recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The excess of the purchase price over the historical basis of the net assets to be acquired has been allocated in the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated financial data based on preliminary valuation estimates and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The actual valuation will be subject to the valuation of our assets and our liabilities as of the date the acquisition is finalized and, therefore, such allocation and the resulting effect on our consolidated financial statements may differ from the pro forma amounts included herein, and such differences may be material.

The consolidated financial statements of ATI utilized to prepare the following pro forma condensed consolidated financial information include ATI's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and ATI's unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2006. The unaudited consolidated financial statements of ATI utilized to prepare the following pro forma condensed consolidated financial information do not reflect as compensation expense share-based payment transactions in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R),Share Based Payments. The pro forma adjustments do not attempt to reflect ATI's stock option grants in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), as all outstanding ATI stock options will be cancelled upon the closing of the proposed acquisition. In addition, the unaudited consolidated financial statements of ATI utilized to prepare the following pro forma condensed consolidated financial information have not been audited or reviewed by ATI's independent accountants, and any such audit or review could result in adjustments to ATI's unaudited consolidated financial statements, and any such adjustments could be material.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SENIOR SECURED CREDIT FACILITY

As part of the June 2006 Refinancing, we entered into our senior secured credit facility, which provides for a $650.0 million term loan facility and a $150.0 million revolving loan facility. Upon the closing of the June 2006 Refinancing, the entire term loan facility was drawn to fund, together with the net proceeds from the offering of our senior subordinated notes sold in June 2006 and a portion of our existing cash balances, (1) the repayment of the entire $288.4 million of principal amount outstanding under our former senior secured credit facility, (2) the repayment of the entire $200.0 million of principal amount outstanding under the TD Group loan facility, (3) the purchase of all of the 8³/8% Senior Subordinated Notes that were tendered in connection with the tender offer for such notes totaling approximately $399.7 million, (4) the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on all such indebtedness and (5) the payment of all premiums and transaction expenses associated therewith. Under the terms of the senior secured credit facility, TransDigm Inc. has the right to request (but no lender is committed to provide) additional term loans and/or revolving loans of up to $250.0 million in the aggregate (which will be increased to $300.0 million upon the effectiveness of the amendment to our senior secured credit facility), subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including pro forma compliance with the financial covenants contained in the senior secured credit facility after giving effect to any such incremental term loan borrowings. As of September 30, 2006, $1.2 million of letters of credit were outstanding and $148.8 million of borrowings were available under the revolving loan facility under the senior secured credit facility. Upon the effectiveness of the amendment described below, we will have $198.8 million of borrowings available under the revolving term loan facility.

In connection with the ATI acquisition, we intend to enter into an amendment to our senior secured credit facility which will provide for, among other things, (i) an additional term loan of $180.0 million, the proceeds from which will be used, together with the net proceeds from the expected issuance of our senior subordinated notes and a portion of our available cash balances, to finance the acquisition of ATI and to pay related transaction expenses, and (ii) a $50.0 million increase in the revolving credit facility that is available under our senior secured credit facility, none of which will be drawn in connection with the closing of the acquisition of ATI. In addition, the $250.0 million uncommitted incremental loan facility will be increased to $300.0 million. The requisite lenders under our senior secured credit facility have approved the amendment described above, and this amendment will become effective upon the satisfaction of customary conditions, including that the acquisition of ATI is consummated substantially simultaneously with the funding of the additional term loans contemplated by the amendment and that we have received gross cash proceeds of not less than $250.0 million from the offering of the new notes.

Certain Covenants

Financial Covenant

The senior secured credit facility includes a financial maintenance covenant requiring that TransDigm Inc. comply, on a pro forma basis, with a consolidated secured debt ratio test. Such covenant, however, inures only to the benefit of the revolving lenders.

Consolidated secured debt ratio is defined in the senior secured credit facility, as of any date, as the ratio of the total indebtedness of TransDigm Inc. on a consolidated basis on such date that is secured by first-priority liens on the same collateral as the collateral securing the senior secured credit facility to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined) for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended on or prior to such date. The senior secured credit facility currently provides that the secured debt ratio may not be greater than 4.75 to 1 for June 30, 2006 through September 30, 2007; 4.50 to 1 for October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008; and 4.25 to 1 thereafter. Upon the effectiveness of the amendment to our senior secured credit facility that is described above, the secured debt ratio covenant will be changed as follows: the secured debt ratio may not be greater than 4.75 to 1 for June 30, 2006 through December 31, 2006; 5.50 to 1 for January 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007; 5.25 to 1 for October 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008; 4.75 to 1 for July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008; and 4.50 to 1 thereafter.
