Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

Three Months Ended December 31, 2011

(Unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2011. All references to years in these financial statements are to fiscal years, unless otherwise noted.

Note 2 - Acquisitions

During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we completed one business combination in our Space and Defense segment by acquiring Bradford Engineering, based in The Netherlands, for $13,174 in cash. Bradford is a developer and manufacturer of satellite equipment including attitude control, propulsion and thermal control subsystems. Bradford had approximately $9,600 of sales for the 2010 calendar year. The purchase price allocation for Bradford is based on preliminary estimates of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is subject to subsequent adjustment as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period.

In 2011, we completed three business combinations within two of our segments. We completed two business combinations within our Aircraft Controls segment, both of which are located in the U.S. We acquired Crossbow Technology Inc., based in California, for $31,999, net of cash acquired. Crossbow designs and manufacturers acceleration sensors that are integrated into inertial navigation and guidance systems used in a variety of aerospace, defense and transportation applications. We also acquired a business that complements our military aftermarket business for $2,373 in cash. Combined sales of these acquisitions for the 2010 calendar year were approximately $19,000. We completed one business combination within our Components segment by acquiring Animatics Corporation, based in California. The purchase price was $24,091, which included 467,749 shares of Moog Class A common stock valued at $18,785 on the day of closing. Animatics supplies integrated servos, linear actuators and control electronics that are used in a variety of industrial, medical and defense applications and had approximately $15,000 of sales for the twelve months preceding the acquisition. The purchase price allocations are completed with the exception of income taxes for the Components acquisition.

All acquired intangible assets other than goodwill are being amortized. Customer-related intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships. Program-related intangible assets consist of long-term programs. Technology-related intangible assets primarily consist of technology, patents, intellectual property and engineering drawings. Marketing-related intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks, trade names and non-compete agreements. Contract-related intangible assets consist of favorable operating lease terms.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $7,671 for the three months ended December 31,2011 and $6,943 for the three months ended January 1, 2011. Based on acquired intangible assets recorded at December 31, 2011, amortization is expected to be approximately $31,462 in 2012, $26,268 in 2013, $23,644 in 2014, $20,829 in 2015 and $18,906 in 2016.

Note 6 - Derivative Financial Instruments

We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with long-term debt and foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions. We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk. There were no outstanding interest rate swaps at December 31, 2011.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments

Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt.

We use foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, primarily the Philippine peso, we had outstanding foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $23,214 at December 31, 2011. These contracts mature at various times through the third quarter of 2013.

These interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into expense during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the payments being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in 2012 or 2011.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

We also have foreign currency exposure on intercompany balances that are denominated in foreign currencies and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the statements of earnings. To minimize foreign currency exposure, we had foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $173,055 at December 31, 2011. The foreign currency forwards are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the statements of earnings. We recorded the following gains and losses on foreign currency forwards which are included in other income or expense and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances:

Note 7 – Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.

Our derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. Our Level 3 fair value liabilities represent contingent consideration recorded for acquisitions to be paid if various financial targets are met. The amounts recorded were calculated for each payment scenario in each period using an estimate of the probability of the future cash outflows. The varying contingent payments were then discounted to the present value at the weighted average cost of capital.

Note 15 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820) - Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements.” This amendment requires separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. The new disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2012. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350) - When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” This amendment modifies the criteria for performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, and it requires performing Step 2 if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Any goodwill impairment resulting from the initial adoption of the amendments should be recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Any goodwill impairments occurring after the initial adoption of the amendments should be included in earnings. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, “Business Combinations (ASC Topic 805) - Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” This amendment expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This amendment is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2012. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2011. All references to years in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are to fiscal years.

OVERVIEW

We are a worldwide designer, manufacturer and integrator of high performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace and defense, industrial and medical markets. Our aerospace and defense products and systems include military and commercial aircraft flight controls, satellite positioning controls, controls for steering tactical and strategic missiles, thrust vector controls for space launch vehicles, controls for gun aiming, stabilization and automatic ammunition loading for armored combat vehicles, and homeland security products. Our industrial products are used in a wide range of applications, including wind energy, pilot training simulators, injection molding machines, power generation, material and automotive testing, metal forming, heavy industry and oil exploration. Our medical products include infusion therapy pumps, enteral clinical nutrition pumps, slip rings used on CT scanners and motors used in sleep apnea devices. We operate under five segments, Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls, Industrial Systems, Components and Medical Devices. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, England, the Philippines, Germany, China, Italy, India, Costa Rica, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Canada, Ireland and Japan.

We have long-term contracts with some of our customers. These contracts are predominantly within Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls and represent 29% of our sales. We recognize revenue on these contracts using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion. The remainder of our sales are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product are transferred to the customer, principally as units are delivered or as service obligations are satisfied. This method of revenue recognition is predominantly used within the Industrial Systems, Components and Medical Devices segments, as well as with aftermarket activity.

We concentrate on providing our customers with products designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. In achieving a leadership position in the high performance, precision controls market, we have capitalized on our strengths, which include:

 

   

superior technical competence and customer intimacy that breed market leadership,

 

   

customer diversity and broad product portfolio,

 

   

well-established international presence serving customers worldwide, and

 

   

proven ability to successfully integrate acquisitions.

We intend to increase our revenue base and improve our profitability and cash flows from operations by building on our market leadership positions, by strengthening our niche market positions in the principal markets that we serve and by extending our participation on the platforms we supply by providing more systems solutions. We also expect to maintain a balanced, diversified portfolio in terms of markets served, product applications, customer base and geographic presence. Our strategy to achieve our objectives includes:

 

   

maintaining our technological excellence by building upon our systems integration capabilities while solving our customers’ most demanding technical problems,

 

   

taking advantage of our global capabilities,

 

   

growing our profitable aftermarket business,

 

   

capitalizing on strategic acquisitions and opportunities,

 

   

developing products for new and emerging markets, and

 

   

striving for continuing cost improvements.

We face numerous challenges to improve shareholder value. These include but are not limited to: adjusting to dynamic global economic conditions that are influenced by governmental, industrial and commercial factors, foreign currency fluctuations, pricing pressures from customers, strong competition and increases in costs such as health care benefits. We address these challenges by focusing on strategic revenue growth and by continuing to improve operating efficiencies through various process and manufacturing initiatives and using low cost manufacturing facilities without compromising quality.

Acquisitions

All of our acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results for the acquired companies are included in the consolidated statements of earnings from the respective dates of acquisition. Under purchase accounting, we record assets and liabilities at fair value and these amounts are reflected in the respective captions on the balance sheet. The purchase price described for each acquisition below is net of any cash acquired and includes debt issued or assumed.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we completed one business combination in our Space and Defense segment by acquiring Bradford Engineering, based in The Netherlands, for $13 million. Bradford is a developer and manufacturer of satellite equipment including attitude control, propulsion and thermal control subsystems. Bradford had approximately $10 million of sales for the 2010 calendar year.

In 2011, we completed three business combinations within two of our segments. We completed two business combinations within our Aircraft Controls segment, both of which are located in the U.S. We acquired Crossbow Technology Inc., based in California, for $32 million. Crossbow designs and manufacturers acceleration sensors that are integrated into inertial navigation and guidance systems used in a variety of aerospace, defense and transportation applications. We also acquired a business that complements our military aftermarket business for $2 million in cash. Combined sales of these acquisitions for the 2010 calendar year were approximately $19 million. We completed one business combination within our Components segment by acquiring Animatics Corporation, based in California. The purchase price was $24 million, which included 467,749 shares of Moog Class A common stock valued at $19 million on the day of closing. Animatics supplies integrated servos, linear actuators and control electronics that are used in a variety of industrial, medical and defense applications and had approximately $15 million of sales for the twelve months preceding the acquisition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the critical accounting policies used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition on long-term contracts, contract loss reserves, reserves for inventory valuation, reviews for impairment of goodwill, purchase price allocations for business combinations, pension assumptions and deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

There have been no material changes in critical accounting policies in the current year from those disclosed in our 2011 Form 10- K.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” The amendments provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments also change certain fair value measurement principles and enhance the disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. We will adopt this standard during the second quarter of 2012. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this amendment will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The amendment eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders’ equity. The amendment requires all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendment, which must be applied retrospectively, is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this standard during the second quarter of 2012. Other than requiring a change in the format of our current financial statement presentation, the adoption of this amendment will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments of 2011-05.” The amendment allows entities to continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the guidance in place prior to the issuance of ASU No. 2011-05. While the Board is considering the operational concerns about presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments, it stated that the deferral did not affect the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The amendment, which must be applied retrospectively, is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this standard during the second quarter of 2012. The adoption of this amendment will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Net sales increased in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011. We had increases in all of our segments with the exception of Space and Defense Controls. The largest increase came from the Aircraft Controls segment, reflecting strong foreign military aircraft sales and higher commercial OEM aircraft sales.

Our gross margin was higher in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 2011, reflecting $4 million less of contract loss reserve charges in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 2011, primarily related to our Aircraft Controls segment.

Research and development expenses increased in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 2011 as we finished work on the 747-8 certification program.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 is higher than the same period last year due to a foreign tax credit that is no longer available to us as a result of a tax law change. In addition, the first quarter of 2011 included a catch up adjustment of research and development tax credits due to delayed passage of the legislation in 2010.

2012 Outlook - We expect sales in 2012 to increase $147 million, or 6%, to approximately $2.48 billion reflecting increases in all of our segments. We expect operating margins to improve to 11.3% in 2012 compared to 10.6% in 2011. We expect operating margins to increase in all of our segments except for Space and Defense Controls. We expect net earnings to increase to $152 million and diluted earnings per share to increase by 12% to $3.31.

Military aircraft sales increased as a result of strong foreign military sales and a $6 million increase on the F-35 program. Commercial aircraft sales were strong in all OEM markets. Sales to Boeing were up $5 million. Business jets also increased $5 million, as the market recovers and production ramps up on the Gulfstream G650.

Our operating margin increased in 2012 as we benefitted from higher volume and $4 million less of contract loss reserve charges. These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher research and development spending in 2012 as we finished work on the 747-8 certification program.

The higher level of twelve-month backlog for Aircraft Controls at December 31, 2011 compared to January 1, 2011 primarily reflects strong commercial aircraft orders from Boeing.

2012 Outlook for Aircraft Controls - We expect sales in Aircraft Controls to increase 9% to $927 million in 2012. Military aircraft sales are expected to increase 6% to $561 million, primarily from the ramp up of production on the F-35. Commercial aircraft sales are expected to increase 14% to $365 million related to increased production rates for Boeing, Airbus and business jets and higher aftermarket sales. We expect our operating margin to increase to 11.0% in 2012, reflecting incremental contribution from higher sales volume.

Net sales in Space and Defense Controls decreased, primarily as a result of a $12 million decline on the Driver’s Vision Enhancer (DVE) program for which there was a large order in 2011. NASA programs increased $6 million as funding for approved programs were received in the first quarter of 2012. Defense sales decreased $6 million, principally from a large stores management program shipment in the first quarter of 2011.

Our operating margin for Space and Defense Controls decreased in 2012. We benefitted from the strong volume and profitability of the DVE program sales in 2011. In addition, in the first quarter of 2011, we received export approval on the stores management application, which resulted in an adjustment to the profit rate.

The slightly lower level of twelve-month backlog at December 31, 2011 compared to January 1, 2011 relates to a decline in DVE orders, partially offset by backlog acquired from the acquisition of Bradford Engineering, which was completed in December 2011.

2012 Outlook for Space and Defense Controls - We expect sales in Space and Defense Controls to increase $28 million, or 8%, to $384 million in 2012. We expect sales increases in tactical missiles, as a result of the Bradford Engineering acquisition, which will offset a decline on the DVE program. We expect our operating margin in 2012 to decrease to a more normal 12.2% compared to 2011, which was influenced by certain favorable program adjustments.

Net sales in Industrial Systems reflect increases in all of our major markets. Sales increased $7 million in our simulation and test markets. Sales were also up $5 million in the industrial automation markets, which includes machine building markets such as plastics making machinery, controls for metal forming presses, heavy industry, distribution and other niche applications. Lastly, sales increased $2 million in our energy market, which consists of wind energy, power generation equipment and oil and gas. Half of the increase came from wind energy as demand in China offset a decline in Europe. The other half of the increase came from oil and gas markets.

The higher level of twelve-month backlog for Industrial Systems at December 31, 2011 compared to January 1, 2011 is due primarily to increased demand for flight simulation and wind energy systems.

2012 Outlook for Industrial Systems - We expect sales in Industrial Systems to increase 3% to $650 million in 2012. We expect sales increases in our simulation and test and energy markets. Partially offsetting those increases is a decline in industrial automation related to foreign currency translation. We expect that our operating margin will increase to 10.5% in 2012, as a result of the higher sales volume.

Net sales in Components increased marginally from last year; however, we experienced a sales shift between markets. Sales increased $3 million in our industrial business in the general automation market as a result of $3 million of incremental sales from our Animatics acquisition, which was completed in the third quarter of 2011. Medical sales increased $3 million, or 20%, as the economy continues to recover. Marine sales were relatively unchanged from the first quarter of 2011; however, we are seeing increased orders. Many of our space and defense programs, on which we have had strong sales in the past few years, have wound down and, as a result, sales were relatively unchanged from a year ago. Sales in the aircraft market, where most of the funding comes from defense spending, declined $4 million, or 12%, which continues the pattern we have seen over the past year.

The slightly higher level of twelve-month backlog at December 31, 2011 compared to January 1, 2011 primarily relates to increased orders in our marine business, partially offset by slowing demand for space and defense controls and military aircraft programs.

2012 Outlook for Components - We expect sales in Components to increase by $19 million, or 5%, in 2012. We expect the sales growth will come in our industrial markets, with half coming from our Animatics acquisition. We expect our operating margin in 2012 to be 15.5%, higher than 2011 due to a technology investment write off in 2011.

Net sales in Medical Devices increased in both pumps and administration sets. Pump sales increased $1 million, or 14%, with much of that coming from international sales primarily in Europe. In the U.S., increased sales of enteral pumps were offset by a decline of IV pumps as we work to build upon internal sales channels to replace our outside sales network. Sales of administration sets increased $1 million, or 5% over the same period a year ago. The remainder of the business was flat compared with 2011.

Our operating margin increased in 2012 compared to 2011. The margin in the first quarter of 2012 is comparable with our operating margin in the second half of 2011. The operating loss in the first quarter of 2011 was driven by a $1 million reserve in connection with a voluntary software upgrade related to an infusion pump to improve its reliability in response to customer feedback. In addition, costs in the first quarter of 2011 were higher as a result of investments in a more extensive direct sales force.

Twelve-month backlog for Medical Devices is not as substantial relative to sales as in our other segments, reflecting the shorter order-to-shipment cycle for this line of business.

2012 Outlook for Medical Devices - We expect sales in Medical Devices to increase $3 million, or 2%, to $145 million in 2012. We expect sales increases from new product offerings, including increases of $5 million in pumps, partially offset by a $2 million decline in administration sets to a more typical level. We expect our operating margin to improve to 3.4% in 2012 as a result of a more favorable product mix and no longer having the costs from the 2011 voluntary infusion pump recall.

Our available borrowing capacity and our cash flow from operations provide us with the financial resources needed to run our operations, reinvest in our business and make strategic acquisitions.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was lower in 2012 compared to 2011, principally due to timing of billing and collections. In particular, invoicing on a military aircraft program went out late in the quarter as contract negotiations were being finalized. In addition, we paid out a larger amount of profit sharing in the first quarter of 2012 as a result of our higher full year 2011 earnings. Partially offsetting those declines were lower pension contributions as we had accelerated the payment of previously planned 2012 contributions into the fourth quarter of 2011.

Investing activities

Net cash used by investing activities in 2012 were higher as a result of $13 million used for the acquisition of Bradford Engineering for our Space and Defense Controls segment and $9 million more of capital expenditures, which includes construction of a new Aircraft Controls facility in Wolverhampton, U.K. Net cash used by investing activities in 2011 includes $18 million for capital expenditures and $3 million for one acquisition in the Aircraft Controls segment.

We expect our 2012 capital expenditures to increase to approximately $105 million. This increase is a result of investments in major program initiatives and facility expansions.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2012 primarily reflects borrowings on our U.S. credit facility to fund the Bradford Engineering acquisition. The net cash used by financing activities in the first quarter of 2011 relates primarily to paydowns on our U.S. credit facility.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND RESOURCES

We maintain bank credit facilities to fund our short and long-term capital requirements, including for acquisitions. From time to time, we also sell equity and debt securities to fund acquisitions or take advantage of favorable market conditions.

Our largest credit facility is our U.S. credit facility, which matures on March 18, 2016. It consists of a $900 million revolver and had an outstanding balance of $344 million at December 31, 2011. Interest on the majority of the outstanding credit facility borrowings is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 150 basis points at December 31, 2011. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.

The U.S. credit facility contains various covenants. The covenant for minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent four quarters, is 3.0. The covenant for the maximum leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt, including letters of credit, to EBITDA for the most recent four quarters, is 3.5. The covenant for maximum capital expenditures is $145 million for 2012 and increases by $10 million each year thereafter. We are in compliance with all covenants. EBITDA is defined in the loan agreement as (i) the sum of net income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, other non-cash items reducing consolidated net income and non-cash equity-based compensation expenses minus (ii) other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income.

We are required to obtain the consent of lenders of the U.S. credit facility before raising significant additional debt financing. In recent years, we have demonstrated our ability to secure consents to access debt markets. We have also been successful in accessing equity markets, from time to time. We believe that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing as needed.

At December 31, 2011, we had $558 million of unused borrowing capacity, including $542 million from the U.S. credit facility after considering standby letters of credit.

Net debt to capitalization was 34% at December 31, 2011 and October 1, 2011.

We believe that our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under short and long-term lines of credit will continue to be sufficient to meet our operating needs.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS

We operate within the aerospace and defense, industrial and medical markets. Our aerospace and defense markets are affected by market conditions and program funding levels, while our industrial markets are influenced by general capital investment trends. Our medical markets are influenced by economic conditions, population demographics, medical advances and patient demand. A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.

Aerospace and Defense

Approximately 60% of our 2011 sales were generated in aerospace and defense markets. The military aircraft market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. Production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictability as to capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and V-22 Osprey. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. Future defense spending may moderate in the coming years as the Administration balances U.S. military commitments and needs with domestic spending. We believe, however, that we are well positioned on key strategic platforms that will not be severely impacted by any U.S. defense budget reductions.

Global demand for air travel generally follows economic growth and, therefore, the commercial OEM market has historically exhibited cyclical swings. The aftermarket is driven by usage of the existing aircraft fleet, the age of the installed fleet and is currently being impacted by fleet re-sizing programs for passenger and cargo aircraft. Changes in aircraft utilization rates affect the need for maintenance and spare parts and impact aftermarket sales. Boeing and Airbus have historically adjusted production in line with air traffic volume. Demand for our commercial aerospace products is in large part dependent on new aircraft production, which is increasing as modest global economic growth continues.

The military and government space market is primarily dependent on the authorized levels of funding for satellite communications. Government spending on military satellites has increased along with the military’s need for improved intelligence. The commercial space market is comprised of large satellite customers, traditionally telecommunications companies. Trends for this market, as well as for commercial launch vehicles, follow the telecommunications companies’ need for increased capacity and the satellite replacement lifecycle of 7-10 years. Our position on NASA programs is impacted by the Administration’s willingness to fund those programs. We believe that we’re well positioned to benefit from the Administration’s decision to replace the retired Space Shuttle.

The tactical missile, missile defense and defense controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. Our homeland security product line is dependent on government funding at federal and local levels, as well as private sector demand.

Industrial

Approximately 31% of our 2011 sales were generated in industrial markets. The industrial markets we serve are influenced by several factors, including capital investment, product innovation, economic growth, cost-reduction efforts and technology upgrades. As global economic conditions have modestly improved, we have seen a recovery in these markets. We experience challenges from the need to react to the demands of our customers, which are in large part sensitive to international and domestic economies. We currently see modest global growth across several of the markets in which we participate and are well positioned for increased demand in renewable energy markets.

Medical

Approximately 9% of our 2011 sales were generated in medical markets. The medical markets we serve are influenced by economic conditions, regulatory environments, hospital and outpatient clinic spending on equipment, population demographics, medical advances, patient demands and the need for precision control components and systems. Advances in medical technology and medical treatments have had the effect of extending the average life span, in turn resulting in greater need for medical services. These same technology and treatment advances also drive increased demand from the general population as a means to improve quality of life. Greater access to medical insurance, whether through government funded health care plans or private insurance, also increases the demand for medical services.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currencies

We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly in Industrial Systems. About one-third of our 2011 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During the first quarter of 2012, foreign currencies fluctuated against the U.S. dollar compared to the first quarter of 2011, however the translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars did not have a significant impact on our sales compared to the same period one year ago.
