Pro forma net sales and results of operations for the acquisitions, had they occurred at the beginning of the applicable fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 or 2012, are not significant and, accordingly, are not provided.
	The acquisitions strengthen and expand the Company’s position to design, produce and supply highly-engineered proprietary aerospace components in niche markets with significant aftermarket content and provide opportunities to create value through the application of our three core value-driven operating strategies (obtaining profitable new business, improving our cost structure, and providing highly engineered value-added products to customers). The purchase price paid for each acquisition reflects the current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and cash flows, as well as, the future EBITDA and cash flows expected to be generated by the business, which are driven in most cases by the recurring aftermarket consumption over the life of a particular aircraft, estimated to be approximately 30 years.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	3	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of TD Group and subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
	Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances—Revenue is recognized from the sale of products when title and risk of loss passes to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. Substantially all product sales are made pursuant to firm, fixed-price purchase orders received from customers. Provisions for estimated returns, uncollectible accounts and the cost of repairs under contract warranty provisions are provided for in the same period as the related revenues are recorded and are principally based on historical results modified, as appropriate, by the most current information available. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, it is possible that actual results may vary from the estimates.
	Shipping and Handling Costs—Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Research and Development Costs—The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred and classifies such amounts in selling and administrative expenses. The expense recognized for research and development costs for the years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $32.1 million, $27.9 million, and $19.3 million, respectively.
	Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
	Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts—The Company reserves for amounts determined to be uncollectible based on specific identification of losses and estimated losses based on historical experience. The allowance also incorporates a provision for the estimated impact of disputes with customers. The determination of the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts is subject to significant levels of judgment and estimation by management. If circumstances change or economic conditions deteriorate or improve, the allowance for doubtful accounts could increase or decrease.
	Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of inventories is determined by the average cost and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) methods for all locations except CEF Industries, LLC which determines the cost of inventories using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Approximately 4% of the inventory was valued under the LIFO method at September 30, 2013. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts. In accordance with industry practice, all inventories are classified as current assets even though a portion of the inventories may not be sold within one year.
	Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: land improvements from 10 to 20 years, buildings and improvements from 5 to 30 years, machinery and equipment from 2 to 10 years and furniture and fixtures from 3 to 10 years.
	Property, plant and equipment is assessed for potential impairment whenever indicators of impairment are present by determining whether the carrying value of the property can be recovered through projected, undiscounted cash flows from future operations over the property’s remaining estimated useful life. Any impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset.
	Debt Issue Costs, Premiums and Discounts—The cost of obtaining financing as well as premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the respective obligations/securities.
	Intangible Assets—Intangible assets consist of identifiable intangibles acquired or recognized in accounting for the acquisitions (trademarks, trade names, technology, order backlog and other intangible assets) and goodwill. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives (trademarks and trade names) are subject to annual impairment testing. Management determines fair value using a discounted future cash flow analysis or other accepted valuation techniques. The Company performs an annual impairment test for goodwill and other intangible assets as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently, if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce fair value below current value.
	A two-step impairment test is used to identify potential goodwill impairment. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit (as defined) with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired, and the second step of the goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. The second step measures the amount of impairment, if any, by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill associated with a reporting unit to the implied fair value of the goodwill derived from the estimated overall fair value of the reporting unit and the individual fair values of the other assets and liabilities of the reporting unit.
	GAAP requires that the annual, and any interim, impairment assessment be performed at the reporting unit level. The reporting unit level is one level below an operating segment. Substantially all goodwill was determined and recognized for each reporting unit pursuant to the accounting for the merger or acquisition as of the date of each transaction. With respect to acquisitions integrated into an existing reporting unit, any acquired goodwill is combined with the goodwill of the reporting unit.
	The impairment test for indefinite lived intangible assets consists of a comparison between their fair values and carrying values. If the carrying amounts of intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives exceed their fair values, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the sum of any such excesses.
	The Company assesses the recoverability of its amortizable intangible assets only when indicators of impairment are present by determining whether the amortization over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected, undiscounted cash flows from future operations. Amortization of amortizable intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: technology from 20 to 22 years, order backlog over one year, and other intangible assets over 20 years.
	Stock Option Plans—The Company records stock-based compensation measured using the fair value method of accounting. Compensation expense is recorded over the vesting periods of the options. For options subject to accelerated vesting under the “market sweep” provision, additional stock compensation expense is recorded representing costs that would have been recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the award when the market condition is met.
	Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred taxes are recorded for the difference between the book and tax basis of various assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
	Contingencies—During the ordinary course of business, the Company is from time to time threatened with, or may become a party to, legal actions and other proceedings. While the Company is currently involved in certain legal proceedings, it believes the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
	Discontinued Operations—During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold, for aggregate cash proceeds of $271.4 million, two businesses which had been acquired as part of the McKechnie Aerospace acquisition and accounted for the sales as discontinued operations. Aggregate net sales of $24.1 million and losses from discontinued operations of $2.1 million were recognized during the period from the date of the McKechnie Aerospace acquisition through the respective dates of sale of the businesses. The consolidated statement of income for the year ended September 30, 2011 includes income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $19.9 million, comprising the aggregate net after-tax gain of $22.0 million and the losses from discontinued operations of $2.1 million.
	Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)—The term “comprehensive income (loss)” represents the change in stockholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances resulting from non-stockholder sources. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, consisting principally of fair value adjustments to its interest rate swap agreements (net of tax), cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and pension liability adjustments (net of tax), is reported separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
	Earnings per Share—Earnings per share information is determined using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and other securities that participate in dividends (“participating securities”). Our vested stock options are considered “participating securities” because they include non-forfeitable rights to dividends. In applying the two-class method, earnings are allocated to both common stock shares and participating securities based on their respective weighted-average shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share information may include the additional effect of other securities, if dilutive, in which case the dilutive effect of such securities is calculated using the treasury stock method.

	In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative accounting guidance included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” This guidance eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Companies can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The Company adopted the presentation guidance during fiscal 2013 and has elected to present two separate consecutive statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative accounting guidance included in ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” This guidance requires all U.S. public companies to report the effect of items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items of net income, net of tax, either on the face of the financial statements where net income is presented or in a tabular format in the notes to the financial statements. This presentation guidance is effective for the Company on October 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

	Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan—On February 28, 2013, TransDigm Inc. entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “Amendment and Restatement Agreement”) in which TransDigm amended and restated its previous credit facilities. The Amendment and Restatement Agreement provides for a $2,200 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), which was fully drawn on February 28, 2013, and a $310 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “2013 Credit Facility”).
	The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility were used to repay in full the outstanding term loans under the previous credit facility and the related transaction expenses associated therewith. The Term Loan Facility consists of two tranches of term loans: the tranche B term loans and the tranche C term loans, and the Revolving Credit Facility consists of two tranches: the revolving A commitments and the revolving B commitments. The tranche B term loans consist of $500 million in the aggregate and the tranche C term loans consist of $1,700 million in the aggregate. The tranche B term loans mature on February 14, 2017 and the tranche C term loans mature on February 28, 2020.
	On July 1, 2013, TransDigm Inc. entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the 2013 Credit Facility. The Amendment permits, among other things, a special dividend of up to $1.9 billion to the holders of TD Group’s common stock, par value $.01 per share, the issuance of the 2021 Notes (as defined below), changes to certain negative covenants under the 2013 Credit Facility, a modification to the financial covenant contained in the Revolving Credit Facility established pursuant to the 2013 Credit Facility and a modification to the incremental term loan facility established pursuant to the 2013 Credit Facility by excluding the Incremental Term Facility (as defined below) from the calculation of the availability thereunder.
	On July 1, 2013, in accordance with the terms of the 2013 Credit Facility, TransDigm Inc. entered into an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement (the “Term Loan Assumption Agreement”). The Term Loan Assumption Agreement provides for incremental term loans in the form of additional Tranche C Term Loans in the aggregate principal amount of $900 million (the “Incremental Term Facility”). The Incremental Term Facility was fully drawn on July 1, 2013. The terms and conditions that apply to the Incremental Term Facility are substantially the same as the terms and conditions that apply to the existing tranche C term loans under the 2013 Credit Facility. The Term Loan Facility requires quarterly principal payments of approximately $7.8 million.
	The revolving A commitments are $32 million in the aggregate and the revolving B commitments are $278 million in the aggregate. The revolving A commitments mature on December 6, 2015 and the revolving B commitments mature on February 28, 2018. At September 30, 2013, the Company had $6.8 million letters of credit outstanding and $303.2 million of borrowings available under the 2013 Credit Facility.
	Under the terms of the 2013 Credit Facility, TransDigm is entitled on one or more occasions, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to request additional commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility or additional term loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million to the extent that existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional term loans. In addition, TransDigm is entitled to convert, subject to certain conditions, the revolving A commitments to revolving B commitments.
	All of the indebtedness outstanding under the 2013 Credit Facility is guaranteed by TD Group and all of TransDigm’s current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries). In addition, the obligations of TransDigm and the guarantors under the 2013 Credit Facility are secured ratably in accordance with each lender’s respective revolving and term loan commitments by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future property and assets, including inventory, equipment, general intangibles, intellectual property, investment property and other personal property (but excluding leasehold interests and certain other assets) of TransDigm and its existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries), and a first priority pledge of the capital stock of TransDigm and its subsidiaries (other than foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries, of which 65% of the voting capital stock is pledged).
	The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the 2013 Credit Facility will be, at TransDigm’s option, equal to either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBO rate for one, two, three or six-month (or to the extent agreed to by each relevant lender, nine or twelve-month) interest periods chosen by TransDigm, in each case plus an applicable margin percentage. The adjusted LIBO rate is subject to a floor of .75%. At September 30, 2013 the applicable interest rate was 3.50% on the tranche B term loan and 3.75% on the tranche C term loan.
	The Term Loan Facility requires mandatory prepayments of principal based on certain percentages of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2013 Credit Facility), commencing 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, subject to certain exceptions (including, with respect to asset sales, the reinvestment in productive assets), TransDigm will be required to prepay the loans outstanding under the term loan facility at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales and issuance or incurrence of certain indebtedness. In addition, if, prior to February 28, 2014, the principal amount of the term loans are (i) prepaid substantially concurrently with the incurrence by TD Group, TransDigm or any its subsidiaries of new bank loans that have an effective yield lower than the yield in effect on the term loans so prepaid or (ii) received by a lender due to a mandatory assignment following the failure of such lender to consent to an amendment of the 2013 Credit Facility that has the effect of reducing the effective interest rate with respect to the term loans, such prepayment or receipt shall be accompanied by a premium of 1.0%.
	The 2013 Credit Facility contains certain covenants that limit the ability of TD Group, TransDigm and TransDigm’s restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; (ii) pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; (iii) make investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from restricted subsidiaries to TransDigm; (vi) incur or suffer to exist liens securing indebtedness; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets; and (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates.
	The Company recorded refinancing costs of $30.3 million during fiscal 2013 representing debt issue costs expensed in conjunction with the refinancing of our previous credit facilities.
	At September 30, 2013, three forward-starting interest rate swap agreements were in place to swap variable rates on the 2013 Credit Facility for a fixed rate based on an aggregate notional amount of $353 million. These interest rate swap agreements converted the variable interest rate on the aggregate notional amount of the 2013 Credit Facility to a fixed rate of 5.17% (2.17% plus the 3% margin percentage) through June 30, 2015.
	On July 16, 2013, the Company entered into three forward-starting interest rate swap agreements beginning September 30, 2014 to hedge the variable interest rates on the 2013 Credit Facility for a fixed rate based on an aggregate notional amount of $1.0 billion through June 30, 2019. These forward-starting interest rate swap agreements will effectively convert the variable interest rate on the aggregate notional amount of the 2013 Credit Facility to a fixed rate of 5.4% (2.4% plus the 3% margin percentage) over the term of the interest rate swap agreements.
	Senior Subordinated Notes—On December 15, 2010, TransDigm issued $1.6 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 7  3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) at an issue price of 100% of the principal amount. Interest under the 2018 Notes is payable semi-annually on December 15 and June 15 of each year. The 2018 Notes mature on December 15, 2018, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and are subject to the terms and conditions as defined in the indenture governing the 2018 notes.

Environmental Liabilities	'
	14	ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES
	Our operations and facilities are subject to a number of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations that govern, among other things, discharges of pollutants into the air and water, the generation, handling, storage and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes, the remediation of contamination and the health and safety of our employees. Environmental laws and regulations may require that the Company investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. Certain facilities and third-party sites utilized by subsidiaries of the Company have been identified as potentially responsible parties under the federal Superfund laws and comparable state laws. The Company is currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of sites under applicable laws.
	Estimates of the Company’s environmental liabilities are based on current facts, laws, regulations and technology. These estimates take into consideration the Company’s prior experience and professional judgment of the Company’s environmental advisors. Estimates of the Company’s environmental liabilities 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 cost estimates, 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 proceed, it is likely that adjustments in the Company’s accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a given period. Based on currently available information, however, the Company does not believe that future environmental costs in excess of those accrued with respect to sites for which the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
	Environmental liabilities are recorded when the liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable, which generally is not later than at completion of a feasibility study or when the Company has recommended a remedy or has committed to an appropriate plan of action. The liabilities are reviewed periodically and, as investigation and remediation proceed, adjustments are made as necessary. Liabilities for losses from environmental remediation obligations do not consider the effects of inflation and anticipated expenditures are not discounted to their present value. The liabilities are not reduced by possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other third parties, but do reflect anticipated allocations among potentially responsible parties at federal Superfund sites or similar state-managed sites, third party indemnity obligations, and an assessment of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites.
	The Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes environmental remediation obligations at September 30, 2013 and 2012 of $27.2 million and $19.1 million, respectively. The increase in the Company’s environmental remediation obligations during the year ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to the estimated cost of environmental remediation obligations assumed in connection with the acquisition of Arkwin.

	During TransDigm’s third quarter ended June 29, 2013, the Company changed its internal management structure and its reporting structure of financial information used to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company’s businesses are organized and managed in three reporting segments: Power & Control, Airframe and Non-aviation.
	The Power & Control segment includes operations that primarily develop, produce and market systems and components that predominately provide power to or control power of the aircraft utilizing electronic, fluid, power and mechanical motion control technologies. Major product offerings include mechanical/electro-mechanical actuators and controls, ignition systems and engine technology, specialized pumps and valves, power conditioning devices and specialized AC/DC electric motors and generators. Primary customers of this segment are engine and power system and subsystem suppliers, airlines, third party maintenance suppliers, military buying agencies and repair depots. Products are sold in the original equipment and aftermarket market channels.
	The Airframe segment includes operations that primarily develop, produce and market systems and components that are used in non-power airframe applications utilizing airframe and cabin structure technologies. Major product offerings include engineered latching and locking devices, rods and locking devices, engineered connectors and elastomers, cockpit security components and systems, aircraft audio systems, specialized lavatory components, seatbelts and safety restraints, engineered interior surfaces and lighting and control technology. Primary customers of this segment are airframe manufacturers and cabin system suppliers and subsystem suppliers, airlines, third party maintenance suppliers, military buying agencies and repair depots. Products are sold in the original equipment and aftermarket market channels.
	The Non-aviation segment includes operations that primarily develop, produce and market products for non-aviation markets. Major product offerings include seatbelts and safety restraints for ground transportation applications, mechanical/electro-mechanical actuators and controls for space applications, and refueling systems for heavy equipment used in mining, construction and other industries. Primary customers of this segment are off road vehicle suppliers and subsystem suppliers, child restraint system suppliers, satellite and space system suppliers and manufacturers of heavy equipment used in mining, construction and other industries.
	The primary measurement used by management to review and assess the operating performance of each segment is EBITDA As Defined. The Company defines EBITDA As Defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization plus certain non-operating items including refinancing costs, acquisition-related costs, transaction-related costs and non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with the Company’s stock option plans. Acquisition-related costs represent accounting adjustments to inventory associated with acquisitions of businesses and product lines that were charged to cost of sales when the inventory was sold; costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and product lines into the Company’s operations, facility relocation costs and other acquisition-related costs; transaction related costs comprising deal fees; legal, financial and tax diligence expenses and valuation costs that are required to be expensed as incurred and other acquisition accounting adjustments.
	EBITDA As Defined is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. Although we use EBITDA As Defined to assess the performance of our business and for various other purposes, the use of this non-GAAP financial measure as an analytical tool has limitations, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP.
	The Company’s segments are reported on the same basis used internally for evaluating performance and for allocating resources. The accounting policies for each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at values based on market prices, which creates intercompany profit on intersegment sales or transfers that is eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment sales were insignificant for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Stock-Based Compensation	'
	17	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	The Company’s stock compensation plans are designed to assist the Company in attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding key employees, directors or consultants, and promoting the creation of long-term value for stockholders by closely aligning the interests of these individuals with those of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s stock compensation plans provide for the granting of stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based incentives.
	The following table shows the expense recognized by the Company for stock-based compensation (in thousands):
			Fiscal Years Ended September 30,
			2013			2012		2011

	Performance vested stock options		$	48,884		$	22,151	$	12,568
	Restricted stock award amortization			—			—		6
			$	48,884		$	22,151	$	12,574
	During the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded additional stock compensation expense of $24.5 million representing costs that would have been recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the award for options granted prior to October 1, 2011 that became fully vested under the market sweep provision, as discussed further below.
	The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $45.53, $43.23 and $33.51, respectively.
	Compensation expense is recognized based upon probability assessments of awards that are expected to vest in future periods. Such probability assessments are subject to revision and, therefore, unrecognized compensation expense is subject to future changes in estimate. As of September 30, 2013, there was approximately $22.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested awards expected to vest, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three years.
	The fair value of the Company’s employee stock options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for all options granted during the fiscal years ended:
			Fiscal Years Ended September 30,
			2013		2012	2011
	Risk-free interest rate		0.84% to 1.00%		1.10% to 1.50%	1.67% to 2.53%
	Expected life of options		6 years		6 years	6 years
	Expected dividend yield of stock		—		—	—
	Expected volatility of stock		35%		40%	40%
	The risk-free interest rate is based upon the Treasury bond rates as of the grant date. The average expected life of stock-based awards is based on vesting schedules and contractual terms. Expected volatility of stock was calculated using a rate based upon the historical volatility of both TransDigm’s common stock and the stock of publicly traded companies in the Company’s peer group in the aerospace industry. Notwithstanding the special cash dividends paid in October 2012 and July 2013, the Company historically has not paid regular cash dividends and does not anticipate paying regular cash dividends in future periods; thus, no dividend rate assumption is used.
	The total fair value of options vested during fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $63.9 million, $11.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively.
	2006 Stock Incentive Plan
	In conjunction with the consummation of the initial public offering, a 2006 stock incentive plan was adopted by TD Group. In July 2008 and March 2011, the plan was amended to increase the number of shares available for issuance thereunder. TD Group has reserved 8,119,668 shares of its common stock for issuance to key employees, directors or consultants under the plan. Awards under the plan may be in the form of options, restricted stock or other stock-based awards. Options granted under the plan will expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the applicable date of grant of the options, and will have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock granted under the plan vests over three years.
	In connection with the $12.85 per share special cash dividend paid in November 2012, in order to take into account the earlier return of capital, the TD Group compensation committee adjusted the market-based vesting features in outstanding options pursuant to the authority granted to the committee under the TD Group stock incentive plan. Under this “market sweep” provision, unvested options granted prior to October 1, 2011 would accelerate and become fully vested if the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeded $147.15 per share (originally $160 per share) on any 60 trading days during any consecutive 12-month period commencing March 1, 2013.
	In addition, in connection with the $12.85 per share special cash dividend paid in November 2012 and the $22.00 per share special cash dividend paid in July 2013, in order to take into account the earlier return of capital, the TD Group compensation committee adjusted the market-based vesting features in outstanding options pursuant to the authority granted to the committee under the TD Group stock incentive plan. Under this “market sweep” provision, unvested options granted in fiscal 2012 would accelerate and become fully vested if the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeded $135.15 per share (originally $170 per share) on any 60 trading days during any consecutive 12-month period commencing two years from the date of grant. Options granted in fiscal 2013 do not contain such accelerated vesting provision.
	During June 2013, a total of 2,409,420 unvested options granted prior to October 1, 2011 with a weighted-average exercise price per option of $58.35 became fully vested under the market sweep provision. Due to the accelerated vesting, the Company recorded additional stock compensation expense of $24.5 million representing costs that would have been recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the award.
	In addition to shares issued pursuant to options exercised, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, 713 shares of common stock were issued with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $146.37 as payment to directors in lieu of cash.
	Performance Vested Stock Options—All of the options granted through September 30, 2013 under the 2006 stock incentive plan have been pursuant to an equity incentive program adopted by the Company in 2008. Under the 2008 equity incentive program, all of the options granted will vest based on the Company’s achievement of established operating performance goals. The following table summarizes the activity, pricing and other information for the Company’s performance vested stock-based award activity during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013:

	2003 Stock Option Plan
	Certain executives and key employees of the Company were granted stock options under TD Group’s 2003 stock option plan. Upon the closing of the acquisition of the Company by Warburg Pincus in 2003, certain employees rolled over certain then-existing options to purchase shares of common stock of TransDigm Holdings. These employees were granted rollover options to purchase an aggregate of 3,870,152 shares of common stock of TD Group (after giving effect to the 149.60 for 1.00 stock split effected on March 14, 2006). All rollover options granted were fully vested on the date of grant. In addition to shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of rollover options, an aggregate of 5,469,301 shares of TD Group’s common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of new management options. In general, approximately 20% of all new management options vested based on employment service or a change in control. These time vested options had a graded vesting schedule of up to four years. Approximately 80% of all new management options vested (i) based upon the satisfaction of specified performance criteria, which is annual and cumulative EBITDA As Defined targets through 2008, or (ii) upon the occurrence of a change in control if the Investor Group (defined as Warburg Pincus and the other initial investors in TD Group) received a minimum specified rate of return. Unless terminated earlier, the options expire ten years from the date of grant.
	TD Group has reserved a total of 9,339,453 shares of its common stock for issuance to the Company’s employees under the plan, which had all been issued as of September 30, 2013.

Options Not Pursuant to a Shareholder Approved Plan
In addition to the stock options issued under the 2003 stock option plan and 2006 stock incentive plan, two members of the Company’s Board of Directors were also granted stock options of TD Group. All of the 134,040 options issued under these agreements, were exercised as of September 30, 2013.

Options granted outside the plans to directors are also entitled to comparable dividend equivalents.
Dividend equivalent payments relating to the October 2009 special cash dividend of $7.65 per share that were paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $2.7 million, $3.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	19	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	The following summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments as of September 30 (in thousands):

	Interest rate swaps were measured at fair value using quoted market prices for the swap interest rate indexes over the term of the swap discounted to present value versus the fixed rate of the contract. The estimated fair value of the Company’s term loans was based on information provided by the agent under the Company’s senior secured credit facility. The estimated fair values of the Company’s 2018 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes were based upon quoted market prices.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities	'
	20	DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
	The Company is exposed to, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks, and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security with counterparties to these financial instruments and is therefore subject to credit risk in the event of nonperformance; however, the Company monitors credit risk and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by other parties.
	Interest rate swap agreements are used to manage interest rate risk associated with floating-rate borrowings under our 2013 Credit Facility. The interest rate swap agreements utilized by the Company effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis through the expiration date of the interest rate swap agreements, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. These agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the term of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. These derivative instruments that qualify as effective cash flow hedges under GAAP. For these cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss from the financial instruments was initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same line as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affected earnings.
	On July 16, 2013, the Company entered into three forward-starting interest rate swap agreements beginning September 30, 2014 to hedge the variable interest rates on the 2013 Credit Facility for a fixed rate based on an aggregate notional amount of $1.0 billion through June 30, 2019. These forward-starting interest rate swap agreements will effectively convert the variable interest rate on the aggregate notional amount of the 2013 Credit Facility to a fixed rate of 5.4% (2.4% plus the 3% margin percentage) over the term of the interest rate swap agreements.
	At September 30, 2013, three forward-starting interest rate swap agreements were in place to swap variable rates on the 2013 Credit Facility for a fixed rate based on an aggregate notional amount of $353 million. These interest rate swap agreements converted the variable interest rate on the aggregate notional amount of the 2013 Credit Facility to a fixed rate of 5.17% (2.17% plus the 3% margin percentage) through June 30, 2015.
	In conjunction with the refinancing of the 2011 Credit Facility, the Company no longer designated the interest rate swap agreements relating to the $353 million aggregate notional amount as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, amounts previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholder’s equity will be amortized into earnings over the remaining period of the swap agreements. The net after-tax loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss to be reclassified into interest expense over the remaining term of the swap agreement was $4.8 million at September 30, 2013.

Summary_of_Significant_Account1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation	'
	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of TD Group and subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances	'Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances—Revenue is recognized from the sale of products when title and risk of loss passes to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. Substantially all product sales are made pursuant to firm, fixed-price purchase orders received from customers. Provisions for estimated returns, uncollectible accounts and the cost of repairs under contract warranty provisions are provided for in the same period as the related revenues are recorded and are principally based on historical results modified, as appropriate, by the most current information available. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, it is possible that actual results may vary from the estimates.
Shipping and Handling Costs	'
	Shipping and Handling Costs—Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Research and Development Costs	'
	Research and Development Costs—The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred and classifies such amounts in selling and administrative expenses. The expense recognized for research and development costs for the years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $32.1 million, $27.9 million, and $19.3 million, respectively.
Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts	'
	Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts—The Company reserves for amounts determined to be uncollectible based on specific identification of losses and estimated losses based on historical experience. The allowance also incorporates a provision for the estimated impact of disputes with customers. The determination of the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts is subject to significant levels of judgment and estimation by management. If circumstances change or economic conditions deteriorate or improve, the allowance for doubtful accounts could increase or decrease.
Inventories	'
	Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of inventories is determined by the average cost and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) methods for all locations except CEF Industries, LLC which determines the cost of inventories using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Approximately 4% of the inventory was valued under the LIFO method at September 30, 2013. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts. In accordance with industry practice, all inventories are classified as current assets even though a portion of the inventories may not be sold within one year.
Property, Plant and Equipment	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: land improvements from 10 to 20 years, buildings and improvements from 5 to 30 years, machinery and equipment from 2 to 10 years and furniture and fixtures from 3 to 10 years.
	Property, plant and equipment is assessed for potential impairment whenever indicators of impairment are present by determining whether the carrying value of the property can be recovered through projected, undiscounted cash flows from future operations over the property’s remaining estimated useful life. Any impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Debt Issue Costs, Premiums and Discounts	'
	Debt Issue Costs, Premiums and Discounts—The cost of obtaining financing as well as premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the respective obligations/securities.
Intangible Assets	'
	Intangible Assets—Intangible assets consist of identifiable intangibles acquired or recognized in accounting for the acquisitions (trademarks, trade names, technology, order backlog and other intangible assets) and goodwill. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives (trademarks and trade names) are subject to annual impairment testing. Management determines fair value using a discounted future cash flow analysis or other accepted valuation techniques. The Company performs an annual impairment test for goodwill and other intangible assets as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently, if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce fair value below current value.
	A two-step impairment test is used to identify potential goodwill impairment. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit (as defined) with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired, and the second step of the goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. The second step measures the amount of impairment, if any, by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill associated with a reporting unit to the implied fair value of the goodwill derived from the estimated overall fair value of the reporting unit and the individual fair values of the other assets and liabilities of the reporting unit.
	GAAP requires that the annual, and any interim, impairment assessment be performed at the reporting unit level. The reporting unit level is one level below an operating segment. Substantially all goodwill was determined and recognized for each reporting unit pursuant to the accounting for the merger or acquisition as of the date of each transaction. With respect to acquisitions integrated into an existing reporting unit, any acquired goodwill is combined with the goodwill of the reporting unit.
	The impairment test for indefinite lived intangible assets consists of a comparison between their fair values and carrying values. If the carrying amounts of intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives exceed their fair values, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the sum of any such excesses.
	The Company assesses the recoverability of its amortizable intangible assets only when indicators of impairment are present by determining whether the amortization over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected, undiscounted cash flows from future operations. Amortization of amortizable intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: technology from 20 to 22 years, order backlog over one year, and other intangible assets over 20 years.
Stock Option Plans	'
	Stock Option Plans—The Company records stock-based compensation measured using the fair value method of accounting. Compensation expense is recorded over the vesting periods of the options. For options subject to accelerated vesting under the “market sweep” provision, additional stock compensation expense is recorded representing costs that would have been recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the award when the market condition is met.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred taxes are recorded for the difference between the book and tax basis of various assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Contingencies	'
	Contingencies—During the ordinary course of business, the Company is from time to time threatened with, or may become a party to, legal actions and other proceedings. While the Company is currently involved in certain legal proceedings, it believes the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Discontinued Operations	'
	Discontinued Operations—During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold, for aggregate cash proceeds of $271.4 million, two businesses which had been acquired as part of the McKechnie Aerospace acquisition and accounted for the sales as discontinued operations. Aggregate net sales of $24.1 million and losses from discontinued operations of $2.1 million were recognized during the period from the date of the McKechnie Aerospace acquisition through the respective dates of sale of the businesses. The consolidated statement of income for the year ended September 30, 2011 includes income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $19.9 million, comprising the aggregate net after-tax gain of $22.0 million and the losses from discontinued operations of $2.1 million.
Estimates	'
	Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	'
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)—The term “comprehensive income (loss)” represents the change in stockholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances resulting from non-stockholder sources. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, consisting principally of fair value adjustments to its interest rate swap agreements (net of tax), cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and pension liability adjustments (net of tax), is reported separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Earnings per Share	'
	Earnings per Share—Earnings per share information is determined using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and other securities that participate in dividends (“participating securities”). Our vested stock options are considered “participating securities” because they include non-forfeitable rights to dividends. In applying the two-class method, earnings are allocated to both common stock shares and participating securities based on their respective weighted-average shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share information may include the additional effect of other securities, if dilutive, in which case the dilutive effect of such securities is calculated using the treasury stock method.
