NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THIRTEEN AND THIRTY-NINE WEEK PERIODS ENDED JUNE 28, 2008 AND JUNE 30, 2007
(UNAUDITED)
1. | DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND MERGER |
Description of the Business TransDigm Group Incorporated (TD Group), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TransDigm Inc., believes it is a leading global designer, producer and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components for use on nearly all commercial and military aircraft in service today. TransDigm Inc. (which includes the Adel Wiggins Group), along with TransDigm Inc.s direct and indirect wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, AeroControlex Group, Inc., MarathonNorco Aerospace, Inc., Adams Rite Aerospace, Inc., Champion Aerospace LLC, Avionic Instruments LLC, Skurka Aerospace Inc., CDA InterCorp LLC, Avtech Corporation, Transicoil LLC, Transicoil (Malaysia) Sendirian Berhad, Bruce Aerospace, Inc., and CEF Industries, Inc. (collectively, with TD Group and TransDigm Inc., the Company or TransDigm) offers a broad range of proprietary aerospace components. Major product offerings, substantially all of which are ultimately provided to end-users in the aerospace industry, include ignition systems and components, mechanical/electromechanical actuators and controls, gear pumps, engineered connectors, specialized valving, power conditioning devices, engineered latches and cockpit security devices, specialized AC/DC electric motors, lavatory hardware and components, hold open rods and locking devices, aircraft audio systems, NiCad batteries/chargers, and specialized fluorescent lighting and cockpit displays.
TD Group was incorporated on July 8, 2003 under the name TD Holding Corporation by outside investors to acquire control of TransDigm Holding Company (TransDigm Holdings) through the Merger described below and had no operations prior to the Merger. TD Group has no significant assets or operations other than its 100% ownership of TransDigm Inc.
MergerOn July 22, 2003, an entity formed by Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, L.P. (Warburg Pincus) merged with and into TransDigm Holdings, with TransDigm Holdings continuing as the surviving corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed corporation controlled by Warburg Pincus, TD Group (the Merger).
Separate Financial Statements Separate financial statements of TransDigm Inc. are not presented since TransDigm Inc.s 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by TD Group and all existing domestic subsidiaries of TransDigm Inc. and since TD Group has no significant operations or assets separate from its investment in TransDigm Inc.
2. | UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION |
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 Companys financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes for the year ended September 30, 2007 included in the Companys Form 10-K dated November 21, 2007. The September 30, 2007 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the TD Groups audited financial statements. The results of operations for the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current year classifications.
3. | NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS |
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires disclosures of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of FAS 161 on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) requires assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, contingent consideration, and certain acquired contingencies to be measured at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. SFAS 141(R) also requires that acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs be recognized separately from the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact of SFAS 141(R) on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
-5-
In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum accounting and disclosure requirements of uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and transition of uncertain tax positions. The Company adopted FIN 48 on October 1, 2007. See Note 8.
4. | ACQUISITIONS |
CEF On May 7, 2008, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of CEF Industries, Inc. (CEF) for approximately $84.7 million in cash, subject to adjustment based on the level of working capital as of the closing date of the acquisition. CEF designs and manufactures specialized and highly engineered actuators, compressors, pumps and related components for the aerospace market, all of which fit well with TransDigms overall business direction. The Company expects that the $50.4 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
BruceOn August 10, 2007, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement among TransDigm Inc., Bruce Industries, Inc. and the shareholders of Bruce Industries, Inc., Bruce Aerospace, Inc. (Bruce), a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of TransDigm Inc., acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Bruce Industries, Inc. for $35.5 million in cash, net of a purchase price adjustment of $0.2 million received in February 2008. Additionally, in accordance with the purchase agreement, the Company recorded a contingent liability based upon earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization related to the sale of certain part numbers for a period of three years following the closing. Bruce designs and manufactures specialized fluorescent lighting used in the aerospace industry. The proprietary nature, established positions, and aftermarket content fit well with TransDigms overall direction. The Company expects that the $26.1 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes.
The Company accounted for the acquisitions of CEF and Bruce as purchases and included the results of operations of CEF and Bruce in its consolidated financials statements from the date of each acquisition. The Company is in the process of obtaining third-party valuations of certain intangible assets of CEF and Bruce; thus, the values attributed to acquired assets in the consolidated financial statements are subject to adjustment.
ATI On February 7, 2007, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Aviation Technologies, Inc. (ATI) for $430.1 million in cash. ATI consists of two primary operating units that service the commercial and military aerospace markets Avtech Corporation (Avtech) and Transicoil LLC (which, together with Transicoil (Malaysia) Sendirian Berhad is referred to as ADS/Transicoil). Avtech is a supplier of flight deck and passenger audio systems, cabin lighting, and power control products and related components. ADS/Transicoil is a supplier of displays, clocks, brushless motors and related components and instruments. Through Avtech and ADS/Transicoil, ATI manufactures proprietary products for the aerospace industry with broad platform positions and high aftermarket content, all of which fit well with TransDigms overall direction. Substantially all of the $310.4 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
CDA On October 3, 2006, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of CDA InterCorp (CDA) for $45.7 million in cash, which includes a purchase price adjustment of $0.3 million paid in March 2007. CDA designs and manufacturers specialized controllable drive actuators, motors, transducers, and gearing. The products are consistent with TransDigms recent acquisition of similar product lines. Goodwill of $34.3 million recognized in accounting for the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
5. | 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, which determines the cost of inventories using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Net inventory for CEF at June 28, 2008 was approximately $13.9 million. Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

8. | INCOME TAXES |
At the end of each reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. The estimate used in the year-to-date period may change in subsequent periods. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $20.6 million in the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2008 compared to $13.3 million in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2008 was 36.4% compared to 37.5% for the comparable period in the prior year. The lower effective tax rate was primarily due to a reduction in state and local taxes and an increase in the domestic manufacturing deduction partially offset by a decrease in the research and development tax credit.
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $52.6 million in the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 compared to $38.0 million in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 was 35.6% compared to 37.3% for the comparable period in the prior year. The lower effective tax rate was due to a reduction in state and local taxes, an increase in the domestic manufacturing deduction and the favorable resolution of a prior year state tax refund claim of $0.9 million partially offset by a lower research and development tax credit.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction as well as in various state jurisdictions. Effective October 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48. In accordance with FIN 48, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $1.7 million increasing its liability for unrecognized tax benefits, interest, and penalties and reducing the October 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.
At October 1, 2007, the Company had $3.2 million in unrecognized tax benefits, the recognition of which would have an effect of $2.4 million on the effective tax rate. The Company does not believe that the tax positions that comprise the unrecognized tax benefit amount will change significantly over the next 12 months.
-8-
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. At October 1, 2007, the Company had accrued $0.7 million for the potential payment of interest and penalties.
As of June 28, 2008, the Company is subject to a U.S. Federal income tax examination for fiscal years 2005 through 2007. In addition, the Company is subject to state and local income tax examinations for fiscal years 2004 through 2007.
There were no significant changes to any of these amounts during the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008.

Overview
We believe we are a leading global designer, producer, and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components for use on nearly all commercial and military aircraft in service today. Our business is well diversified due to the broad range of products we offer to our customers. Some of our more significant product offerings, substantially all of which are ultimately provided to end-users in the aerospace industry, include ignition systems and components, mechanical/electro-mechanical actuators and controls, gear pumps, engineered connectors, specialized valving, power conditioning devices, engineered latches and cockpit security devices, specialized AC/DC electric motors, lavatory hardware and components, hold-open rods and locking devices, aircraft audio systems, NiCad batteries/chargers, and specialized fluorescent lighting and cockpit displays. Each of these product offerings consists of many individual products that are typically customized to meet the needs of a particular aircraft platform or customer.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we generated net sales of $186.0 million and net income of $36.0 million. EBITDA As Defined was $86.8 million, or 46.6% of net sales. See below for certain information regarding EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined, including a reconciliation of EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined to net income.
Certain Acquisitions
CEF Acquisition
On May 7, 2008, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of CEF Industries, Inc. (CEF) for approximately $84.7 million in cash, subject to adjustment based on the level of working capital as of the closing date of the acquisition. The
-16-
transaction was funded through the use of the Companys existing cash balances. CEF is a designer and manufacturer of specialized and highly engineered actuators, compressors, pumps and related components for the aerospace market, all of which fit well with TransDigms overall business direction.
Bruce Acquisition
On August 10, 2007, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement among TransDigm Inc., Bruce Industries and the shareholders of Bruce Industries, Bruce Aerospace, Inc., a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of TransDigm Inc., acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Bruce Industries for approximately $35.5 million in cash, net of a purchase price adjustment of $0.2 million received in February 2008. Bruce designs and manufactures specialized fluorescent lighting used in the aerospace industry. The proprietary nature, established positions, and aftermarket content fit well with our overall business direction.
ATI Acquisition
On February 7, 2007, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding stock of Aviation Technologies, Inc. (ATI) for approximately $430.1 million in cash. ATI consists of two primary operating units that service the commercial and military aerospace markets Avtech and ADS/Transicoil. Avtech is a supplier of flight deck and passenger audio systems, cabin lighting, and power control products and related components. ADS/Transicoil is a supplier of displays, clocks, brushless motors and related components and instruments. Through Avtech and ADS/Transicoil, ATI manufactures proprietary products for the aerospace industry with broad platform positions and high aftermarket content, all of which fit well with TransDigms overall direction.
Mr. W. Nicholas Howley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TD Group, and Mr. Douglas Peacock, a director of TD Group, each indirectly owned less than one-half of 1% of ATIs outstanding equity on a fully diluted basis. In addition, prior to the acquisition, Mr. Howley and Mr. Peacock were directors of ATI commencing in 2003, and Mr. Peacock served as ATIs Chairman from 2003 through February 2007.

We present EBITDA because we believe that it is a useful indicator of our operating performance. Our management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to measure a companys operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization, which may vary substantially from company to company depending upon, among other things, accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets are acquired. We also believe EBITDA is useful to our management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance between time periods and among companies as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance.
Our management uses EBITDA As Defined to review and assess our operating performance and management team in connection with our employee incentive programs, and the preparation of our annual budget and financial projections. Our management also believes that EBITDA As Defined is useful to investors because our revolving credit facility under our senior secured credit facility requires compliance, on a pro forma basis, with a first lien leverage ratio, which is measured based on our Consolidated EBITDA. Our senior secured credit facility defines Consolidated EBITDA in the same manner as we define EBITDA As Defined. This financial covenant is a material term of our senior secured credit facility as the failure to comply with such financial covenant could result in an event of default in respect of the revolving credit facility thereunder (and, in turn, an event of default under our senior secured credit facility could result in an event of default under the indenture governing our 7 3 /4% senior subordinated notes).
Although we use EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined as measures to assess the performance of our business and for the other purposes set forth above, the use of EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined as an analytical tool has limitations, and you should not consider either of them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments, on our indebtedness; |
| although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects any cash requirements for such replacements; |
| the omission of the substantial amortization expense associated with our intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined; |
| neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined includes the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of our operations; and |
| EBITDA As Defined excludes the cash expense we have incurred to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, which is a necessary element of certain of our acquisitions. |
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by not viewing EBITDA or EBITDA As Defined in isolation, and specifically by using other GAAP measures, such as net income, net sales and operating profit, to measure our operating performance. Neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined is a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and neither should be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation of EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which often requires the judgment of management in the selection and application of certain accounting principles and methods. Management believes that the quality and reasonableness of our most critical policies enable the fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. However, investors are cautioned that the sensitivity of financial statements to these methods, assumptions and estimates could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions.
A summary of our significant accounting policies and estimates is included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007. There has been no significant change to our critical accounting policies during the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008.

Changes in Results of Operations
Thirteen week period ended June 28, 2008 compared with the thirteen week period ended June 30, 2007.
| Net Sales. Net sales increased by $28.4 million, or 18.0%, to $186.0 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2008, from $157.6 million for the comparable quarter last year. Sales growth excluding acquisitions was $18.3 million and represented an 11.6% increase over the prior year. The organic sales growth was primarily due to (i) an increase of $9.5 million in defense sales primarily due to increased demand for aftermarket spare parts and OEM sales across most of our product lines, (ii) an increase of $5.5 million of commercial OEM sales resulting primarily from an increase in production rates from The Boeing Company and Airbus S.A.S. and related OEM system suppliers, and (iii) an increase of $2.2 million in commercial aftermarket sales. The remaining $10.1 million of the increase resulted from the acquisitions of CEF during fiscal 2008 and Bruce during fiscal 2007. |
| Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $10.2 million, or 13.5%, to $85.6 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2008 from $75.4 million for the comparable quarter last year primarily due to the increase volume associated with the higher net sales of $28.4 million discussed above. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 46.0% for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 2008 from 47.8% for the thirteen week period ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to a reduction in acquisition-related expenses of $1.7 million, or approximately 1.2% of net sales, the strength of the Companys proprietary products, productivity improvements, partially offset by the dilutive impact of recent |
-19-
acquisitions. The decrease in acquisition related expenses was primarily due to inventory purchase price accounting charges recorded in the prior year of $2.4 million related to the acquisitions of ATI and CDA partially offset by current year inventory purchase accounting charges of $0.8 million related to the acquisitions of Bruce and CEF. |
| Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $2.0 million to $19.3 million, or 10.4% of sales, for the quarter ended June 28, 2008 from $17.3 million, or 11.0% of sales, for the comparable quarter last year. This increase was primarily due to the higher sales discussed above, an increase in research and development expenses primarily relating to the Boeing 787 program partially offset by the non-recurring secondary offering costs of $1.7 million, or 1.1% of sales, recorded in the prior year period. |
| Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles decreased by $0.9 million to $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2008 from $3.6 million for the comparable quarter last year due to order backlog amortization becoming fully amortized during fiscal 2007 and the first half of 2008 relating to the acquisitions of ATI and CDA in the prior year. |
| Interest Expense-net. Interest expense decreased $4.1 million, or 15.7%, to $21.8 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2008 from $25.9 million for the comparable quarter last year due to the lower weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.4% during the quarter ended June 28, 2008 from approximately 7.6% for the comparable quarter last year. The Companys weighted average level of outstanding borrowings was approximately $1.36 billion for the quarters ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. |
| Income Taxes. Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes was approximately 36.4% for the quarter ended June 28, 2008 compared to 37.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The lower effective tax rate was primarily due to a reduction in state and local taxes and an increase in the domestic manufacturing deduction partially offset by a decrease in the research and development tax credit. |
| Net Income. Net income increased $13.9 million, or 62.7%, to $36.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $22.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, primarily as a result of the factors referred to above. |
Thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 compared with the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2007.
| Net Sales. Net sales increased by $99.7 million, or 23.5%, to $524.5 million for the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008, from $424.8 million for the comparable period last year. Sales growth excluding acquisitions was $41.3 million and represented a 9.7% increase over the prior year. The organic sales growth was primarily due to (i) an increase of $21.6 million in defense sales primarily due to increased demand for aftermarket spare parts across most of our product lines, (ii) $10.3 million of commercial OEM sales resulting primarily from an increase in production rates from The Boeing Company and Airbus S.A.S. and related OEM system suppliers, and (iii) an increase of $8.3 million of commercial aftermarket sales. The remaining $58.4 million of the increase resulted from the acquisitions of CEF during fiscal 2008 and ATI and Bruce during fiscal 2007. |
| Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $38.2 million, or 18.7%, to $242.0 million for the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 from $203.8 million for the comparable period last year. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 46.1% for the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 from 48.0% for the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2007. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to increased volume associated with the higher net sales of $99.7 million discussed above, partially offset by a $4.3 million decrease, or 1.1% of net sales, of acquisition-related expenses. The decrease in acquisition related expenses was primarily due to inventory purchase accounting charges recorded in the prior year of $4.8 million related to the acquisitions of ATI and CDA partially offset by current year inventory purchase accounting charges of $1.9 million related to the acquisitions of Bruce and CEF. |
The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales was due to lower acquisition-related expenses, the strength of the Companys proprietary products and continued productivity efforts, partially offset by the dilutive impact from recent acquisitions.
-20-
| Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $11.5 million, or 26.1%, to $55.6 million, or 10.6% of sales, for the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 from $44.1 million, or 10.4% of sales, for the comparable period last year. This increase was primarily due to the higher sales discussed above and an increase in research and development expenses of $4.4 million primarily relating to the Boeing 787 program, partially offset by the non-recurring charge of $1.7 million relating to the secondary offering recorded in the prior year. |
| Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles increased slightly to $8.8 million for the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 from $8.6 million for the comparable period last year. |
| Interest Expense-net. Interest expense increased $4.1 million, or 6.1%, to $70.4 million for the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 from $66.3 million for the comparable period last year primarily the result of an increase in our debt of approximately $430 million due to the acquisition ATI in February 2007, partially offset by lower interest rates and higher interest income of $2.5 million. The Companys weighted average level of outstanding borrowings was approximately $1.36 billion during the thirty-nine weeks ended June 28, 2008 compared to approximately $1.15 billion during the comparable period last year while the average interest rate decreased to approximately 7.1% during the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 from 7.6% for the comparable period last year. |
| Income Taxes. Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes was approximately 35.6% for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 28, 2008 compared to 37.3% for the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2007. The lower effective tax rate was due to a reduction in state and local taxes, an increase in the domestic manufacturing deduction and the favorable resolution of a prior year state tax refund claim of $0.9 million partially offset by a lower research and development tax credit. |
| Net Income. Net income increased $31.1 million, or 48.7%, to $95.1 million for the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 compared to net income of $64.0 million for the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2007, primarily as a result of the factors referred to above. |
Backlog
As of June 28, 2008, the Company estimated its sales order backlog at $422.9 million compared to an estimated $339.1 million as of June 30, 2007. This increase in backlog is due to the purchase orders acquired in connection with the acquisitions of CEF and Bruce, discussed above, totaling approximately $41.5 million and an increase in orders across existing product lines in both the OEM and aftermarket segments. The majority of the purchase orders outstanding as of June 28, 2008 are scheduled for delivery within the next twelve months. Purchase orders may be 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 Companys receipt of purchase orders and the speed with which those orders are filled. Accordingly, the Companys backlog as of June 28, 2008 may not necessarily represent the actual amount of shipments or sales for any future period.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We manufacture substantially all of our products in the United States; however, as result of our ATI acquisition, some of our products are manufactured in Malaysia. We sell our products in the United States, as well as in foreign countries. Substantially all of our foreign sales are transacted in U.S. dollars and, therefore, we have no material exposure to fluctuations in the rate of exchange between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar as a result of foreign sales. In addition the amount of components or other raw materials or supplies that we purchase from foreign suppliers, including our Malaysian manufacturing subsidiary, are not material, with substantially all such transactions being made in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, we have no material exposure to currency fluctuations in the rate of exchange between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar arising from these transactions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities. The Company generated $149.9 million of cash from operating activities during the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 compared to $90.1 million during the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2007. The increase of $59.8 million was primarily due to higher net income and favorable changes in working capital for the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008.
-21-
Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $92.0 million during thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 consisted of the acquisition of CEF of $84.7 million and capital expenditures of $7.3 million. Cash used in investing activities was $483.1 million during thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2007 consisted of the acquisitions of ATI and CDA for $475.9 million and capital expenditures of $7.1 million.
Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities during the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 was $25.3 million compared to $451.9 million during the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2007. Cash provided by financing activities during the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008 related to the exercise of stock options. Cash provided by financing activities for the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2007 consisted of the proceeds received of $296.8 million, net of fees, from the issuance of additional 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes and additional term loans of $125.4 million, net of fees, to finance the acquisition of ATI, and the exercise of stock options of $29.7 million.
Description of Current Senior Secured Credit Facility and Indenture
The senior secured credit facility (Senior Secured Credit Facility) consists of a $780 million term loan facility, which is fully drawn, and a $200 million revolving loan facility. At June 28, 2008, $198.5 million of the revolving credit facility was available. The term loan facility will mature in June 2013 and is not subject to interim scheduled amortization, but is subject to certain prepayment requirements.
TransDigm Inc. entered into a three year interest rate swap in June 2006 with Credit Suisse for an initial notional amount of $187 million at a fixed rate of 7.6%. The notional amount decreased to $170 million on September 23, 2007 and will decrease to $150 million on September 23, 2008. In January 2008, TransDigm Inc. entered into an additional three year interest rate swap with Credit Suisse for a notional amount of $300 million at a fixed rate of 5.0%. As a result of these interest rate swaps, the interest rates on TransDigms total debt are approximately 75% fixed and 25% variable.
TransDigm Inc. issued $575 million aggregate principal amount of 7 3/4% senior subordinated notes (7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes) under the indenture dated as of June 23, 2006. Such notes do not require principal payments prior to their maturity in July 2014.
New Accounting Standards
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires disclosures of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of FAS 161 on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) requires assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, contingent consideration, and certain acquired contingencies to be measured at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. SFAS 141(R) also requires that acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs be recognized separately from the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact of SFAS 141(R) on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum accounting and disclosure requirements of uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and transition of uncertain tax positions. The Company adopted FIN 48 on October 1, 2007. See Note 8 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk |
Our main exposure to market risk relates to interest rates. Our financial instruments that are subject to interest rate risk principally include fixed-rate and floating-rate long-term debt. At June 28, 2008, we had borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility of $780 million that were subject to interest rate risk. Borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBO rate for a one-, two-, three- or six-month (or to the extent available to each lender, nine- or twelve-month) interest period chosen by us, in each case, plus an applicable margin percentage. Accordingly, the Companys cash flows and earnings will be exposed to the market risk of interest rate changes resulting from variable rate borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. The effect of a hypothetical one percentage point increase in interest rates would increase the annual interest costs under our Senior Secured Credit Facility by approximately $7.8 million based on the amount of outstanding borrowings at June 28, 2008. The weighted average interest rate on the $780 million of borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility on June 28, 2008 was 4.8%.
At June 28, 2008, we had an agreement in place to swap variable interest rates on our Senior Secured Credit Facility for fixed interest rates through June 23, 2009 for the notional amount of $170 million, which will decrease to $150 million on September 23, 2008 through June 23, 2009. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is adjusted at each balance sheet date, with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income. At June 28, 2008, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement was a liability of $4.0 million.
At June 28, 2008, we had an agreement in place to swap variable interest rates on our Senior Secured Credit Facility for fixed interest rates through March 23, 2011 for the notional amount of $300 million. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is adjusted at each balance sheet date, with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income. At June 28, 2008, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement was an asset of $5.7 million.
Because the interest rates on borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility vary with market conditions, the amount of outstanding borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility approximates the fair value of the indebtedness. The fair value of the $575 million aggregate principal amount of our 7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes is exposed to the market risk of interest rate changes. The estimated fair value of such notes approximated $571 million at June 28, 2008 based upon quoted market rates.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 28, 2008, TD Group carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of TD Groups management, including its Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of TD Groups disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that TD Groups disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by TD Group in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to TD Groups management, including its Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, TD Groups management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in designing and evaluating the controls and procedures. There have been no significant changes in TD Groups internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date of TD Groups evaluations.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in TD Groups internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the thirty-nine week period ending June 28, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, TD Groups internal control over financial reporting.
