-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS TransDigm Holding Company ("Holdings"), through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, TransDigm Inc. ("TransDigm"), is a premier supplier of proprietary mechanical components servicing predominantly the aircraft industry. TransDigm, along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Marathon Power Technologies Company ("Marathon"), ZMP, Inc. ("ZMP") and Adams Rite Aerospace, Inc., ("Adams Rite") (collectively, the "Company") offers a broad line of component products including tube connectors, valves, batteries, static inverters, pumps, quick disconnects, clamps, ball bearing and sliding controls, mechanical hardware, fluid controls, lavatory hardware, electromechanical controls, and oxygen systems related products. 2. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION Except for the September 30, 2000 consolidated balance sheet, which was derived from the Company's audited financial statements, the financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended December 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 3. 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. Inventories consist of the following (in thousands): DECEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 2000 Work-in-progress and finished goods $ 26,889 $ 20,995 Raw materials and purchased component parts 18,592 18,325 -------- -------- Total 45,481 39,320 Reserve for excess and obsolete inventory (6,261) (6,431) -------- -------- Inventories - net $ 39,220 $ 32,889 ======== ======== 4. CONTINGENCIES ENVIRONMENTAL - The soil and groundwater beneath the Company's facility in Waco, Texas have been impacted by releases of hazardous materials. The resulting contaminants of concern have been delineated and characterized. The majority of these contaminants are presently below action levels prescribed by the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission ("TNRCC"). In connection with the Company's acquisition of Marathon, a $2 million escrow was previously funded to cover the cost of remediation that TNRCC might require for those contaminants currently in excess of action limits. As a result, the Company believes the condition of the soil and groundwater at the Waco facility will not require the incurrence of material expenditures. However, there can be no assurance that additional contamination will not be discovered or that the remediation required by the TNRCC will not be material to the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. -5- 8 OTHER - While the Company is currently involved in certain legal proceedings, management believes the results of these proceedings will not have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. 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. The Company believes that its potential exposure to such legal actions is adequately covered by its aviation product and general liability insurance. 5. ACQUISITION During December 2000, the Company entered into agreements with Honeywell International, Inc. ("Honeywell") to purchase certain inventory of Honeywell's lubrication and scavenge pump product line for $4.5 million, along with an option to enter into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement to produce and sell such products for at least forty years and to buy certain related assets. The Company expects that it will pay for the inventory by the end of the Company's third quarter and is included in accounts payable at December 30, 2000. The cost of the option was not significant. During January 2001, the Company exercised the option. The execution of the license agreement and the purchase of the related assets is subject to certain closing conditions. 6. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction. The Company adopted this standard during the quarter ended December 30, 2000. The implementation of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's reported financial condition or results of operations. * * * * * -6- 9 PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Quarterly Statement includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, in particular, the statements about our plans, strategies and prospects under this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Statement are set forth herein as well as under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Registration Statement filed by the Company on Form S-4 on January 29, 1999, as amended through April 23, 1999. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by those cautionary statements. OVERVIEW The Company is a leading supplier of highly engineered aircraft components for use on nearly all commercial and military aircraft. The Company sells its products to commercial airlines and aircraft maintenance facilities in the aftermarket, to most original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of aircraft and to various agencies of the United States government. Sales of the Company's products are made directly to these organizations as well as through U.S. and international distributors who maintain inventories throughout the world of products purchased from the Company and others. During December 2000, the Company entered into agreements with Honeywell International, Inc. ("Honeywell") to purchase certain inventory of Honeywell's lubrication and scavenge pump product line for $4.5 million, along with an option to enter into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement to produce and sell such products for at least forty years and to buy certain related assets. The Company expects that it will pay for the inventory by the end of the Company's third quarter. The cost of the option was not significant. During January 2001, the Company exercised the option. The execution of the license agreement and the purchase of the related assets is subject to certain closing conditions. The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the Company's financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company's fiscal year ends on September 30. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain operating data of the Company as a percentage of net sales. THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED ------------------------------- DECEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 2000 1999 Net sales 100 % 100 % --- --- Gross profit 44 46 Selling and administrative 12 12 Amortization of intangibles 1 2 Research and development 1 1 --- --- Income from operations 30 31 Interest expense - net 20 21 Provision for income taxes 4 4 --- --- Net income 6 % 6 % === === -7- 10 CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED DECEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED WITH THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999. - - NET SALES. Net sales increased by $2.1 million, or 6.1%, to $35.8 million for the quarter ended December 30, 2000 from $33.7 million for the comparable quarter last year, primarily due to increased unit volume on existing products and new business opportunities. - - GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit (net sales less cost of sales) increased by $.2 million, or 1.2%, to $15.8 million for the quarter ended December 30, 2000 from $15.6 million from the comparable quarter last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 44.1% during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and 46.2% during the first quarter of fiscal 2000, primarily due to changes in customer and product mix. - - SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $.2 million, or 3.0%, to $4.3 million for the quarter ended December 30, 2000 from $4.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was approximately 12% for both quarters. - - AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES. Amortization of intangibles decreased by $.1 million, or 18.2%, to $.4 million for the quarter ended December 30, 2000 from $.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 as a result of certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized. - - RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expense increased by $.1 million, or 33.2%, to $.5 million for the quarter ended December 30, 2000 from $.4 million for the quarter ended December 31 1999. Research and development expense, as a percentage of net sales, was 1% for both quarters. - - INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Operating income approximated $10.6 million for the quarter ended December 30, 2000 and the comparable quarter last year. - - INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense approximated $7.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and the comparable quarter last year. - - INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes was 44% for the thirteen weeks ended December 30, 2000 compared to 40% for the thirteen weeks ended December 31, 1999, primarily due to increased earnings subject to tax. - - NET INCOME. The Company earned $2.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $2.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000, primarily as a result of the factors referred to above. -8- 11 BACKLOG Management believes that sales order backlog (i.e., orders for products that have not yet been shipped) is a useful indicator of sales to OEMs. As of December 30, 2000, the Company estimated its sales order backlog at $79.1 million compared to an estimated $64.3 million as of December 31, 1999. The majority of the purchase orders outstanding as of December 30, 2000 are scheduled for delivery within the next twelve months. Purchase orders are generally subject to cancellation by the customer prior to shipment. The level of unfilled purchase orders at any given date during the year will be materially affected by the timing of the Company's receipt of purchase orders and the speed with which those orders are filled. Accordingly, the Company's backlog as of December 30, 2000 may not necessarily represent the actual amount of shipments or sales for any future period. FOREIGN OPERATIONS The Company manufactures all of its products in the United States. However, a portion of the Company's sales is conducted abroad and a portion of raw materials are purchased abroad. This activity is subject to numerous additional risks, including the impact of foreign government regulations, currency fluctuations, political uncertainties and differences in business practices. There can be no assurance that foreign governments will not adopt regulations or take other action that would have a direct or indirect adverse impact on the business or market opportunities of the Company within such governments' countries. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the political, cultural and economic climate outside the United States will be favorable to the Company's operations and growth strategy. INFLATION Many of the Company's raw materials and operating expenses are sensitive to the effects of inflation, which could result in changing operating costs. The effects of inflation on the Company's businesses during the thirteen week periods ended December 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 were not significant. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company generated approximately $4.0 million of cash in operating activities during the thirteen weeks ended December 30, 2000 compared to approximately $.4 million used during the thirteen weeks ended December 31, 1999, principally due to increased collections of accounts receivable during the quarter ended December 30, 2000. Cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.8 million during the thirteen weeks ended December 30, 2000 compared to approximately $0.6 million used during the thirteen weeks ended December 31, 1999, primarily due to increased capital expenditures. Cash used in financing activities during the thirteen weeks ended December 30, 2000 was approximately $2.7 million compared to approximately $1.5 million provided by financing activities during the thirteen weeks ended December 31, 1999, primarily due to increased repayment of debt obligations. The Company's primary cash needs will consist of capital expenditures and debt service, including the payments required under the Honeywell agreement (see "Overview"). The Company incurs capital expenditures for the purpose of maintaining and replacing existing equipment and facilities and, from time to time, for facility expansion. ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE REQUIRED BY INDENTURE Separate financial information of TransDigm is not presented since the Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by Holdings and all direct and indirect subsidiaries of TransDigm and since Holdings has no operations or assets separate from its investment in TransDigm. In addition, Holdings' only liability consists of Holdings PIK Notes of $25.3 million that bear interest at 12% annually. Interest expense recognized on the Holdings PIK Notes during the thirteen week periods ended December 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 was $.7 million and $.6 million, respectively. -9- 12 PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK At December 30, 2000, the Company is subject to interest rate risk with respect to borrowings under its credit facility as the interest rates on such borrowings vary with market conditions and, thus, the amount of outstanding borrowings approximates the fair value of the indebtedness. On a historical basis, the weighted average interest rate on the $109.2 million of borrowings outstanding under the credit facility at December 30, 2000 was 9.2%. Also outstanding at December 30, 2000 was $125 million of Company indebtedness in the form of subordinated notes and $25.3 million of Holdings PIK Notes. The interest rates on both of these borrowings are fixed at 10 3/8% and 12% per year, respectively. The sensitivity of changes in the fair value of the Company's outstanding borrowings to changes in interest rates is described on page 17 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000. There have been no material changes in the sensitivity since September 30, 2000. -10- 13 PART II: OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6 Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a) Exhibits None (b) Reports on Form 8-K None -11- 14 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, each of the Co-Registrants has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Richmond Heights, State of Ohio, on February 13, 2001.
