Explanatory Note

TransDigm Group Inc. (“TD Group”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Form 10-Q/A”) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 27, 2009, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 5, 2009 (the “Original Filing”). We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to reflect restatements of our basic and diluted earnings per share and weighted average shares outstanding calculations to give effect to participating securities under the two-class method of calculating earnings per share. Historically, the Company had utilized the “treasury stock method” in order to give effect to outstanding “in-the-money” stock options. Under the two-class method, securities that participate in dividends, such as the Company’s vested outstanding stock options which include non-forfeitable rights to dividends, are considered “participating securities.”

This Form 10-Q/A amends and restates “Item 1. Financial Statements” and “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” of the Original Filing, in each case, solely as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement.

Except as specifically noted above, this Form 10-Q/A does not modify or update disclosures in the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or modify or update any related or other disclosures.

TRANSDIGM GROUP INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THIRTEEN AND THIRTY-NINE WEEK PERIODS ENDED JUNE 27, 2009 AND JUNE 28, 2008

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.	DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Description of the Business— TransDigm Group Incorporated (“TD Group”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TransDigm Inc., 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., CEF Industries, Inc. and Aircraft Parts Corporation (collectively, with TD Group, 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 mechanical/electromechanical actuators and controls, ignition systems and components, gear pumps, specialized valves, engineered connectors, power conditioning devices, specialized fluorescent lighting and AC/DC electric motors, aircraft audio systems, engineered latches and cockpit security devices, lavatory hardware and components, hold open rods and locking devices, specialized cockpit displays, elastomers, NiCad batteries/chargers, and starter generators and related components.

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 Company’s 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, 2008 included in TD Group’s Form 10-K dated November 25, 2008. Certain earnings per share and weighted average shares outstanding information included in the Form 10-K dated November 25, 2008 has been restated in TD Group’s Form 10-K/A dated February 10, 2010. The September 30, 2008 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the TD Group’s audited financial statements. The results of operations for the thirty-nine week period ended June 27, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

3.	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS 159’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. The adoption of SFAS 159 as of October 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP 157-3”), which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial asset is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 became effective immediately upon adoption of SFAS 157. SFAS 157 was adopted as of October 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The effective provisions of SFAS 157 are included in Note 10, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

-5-

---

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”), which allows for the deferral of the adoption date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or presented at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 in fiscal 2010 for those assets and liabilities within the scope of FSP 157-2 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 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 entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and fiscal years that include those interim periods. The adoption of SFAS 161 as of December 28, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. See Note 10.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS No. 165 sets forth: (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in financial statements, (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The Company has evaluated the period beginning June 28, 2009 through August 5, 2009, the date the Company’s quarterly financial statements were issued, and concluded there were no events or transactions occurring during this period that required recognition or additional disclosure in the financial statements. See Note 12.

 

4.	ACQUISITIONS

APC – On December 16, 2008, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Aircraft Parts Corporation (“APC”) for approximately $67.6 million in cash, subject to adjustment based on the level of working capital as of the closing date of the acquisition. APC is a designer and manufacturer of starter generators, generator control units and related components for turbine engines, all of which fit well with TransDigm’s overall business direction. The Company expects that the $47.0 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

Unison Product Line – On September 26, 2008, TransDigm Inc., through its wholly-owned Champion Aerospace, LLC subsidiary, acquired certain assets related to the magneto and harness product line business of Unison Industries, LLC (“Unison product line”) for approximately $68.3 million in cash, net of a purchase price adjustment of $1.1 million received in November 2008. The acquired product line includes the highly engineered SLICK^TM magnetos, harnesses and components, which are used on substantially all of the world’s general aviation piston aircraft. These products fit well with Champion’s existing product offerings and TransDigm’s overall business direction. The Company expects that the $59.6 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes.

CEF – On May 7, 2008, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of CEF Industries, Inc. (“CEF”) for approximately $84.5 million in cash, net of a purchase price adjustment of $0.5 million received in January 2009. 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 TransDigm’s overall business direction. The Company expects that the $50.4 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company accounted for the acquisitions of APC, the Unison product line, and CEF (collectively, the “Acquisitions”) as purchases and included the results of operations of the Acquisitions in its consolidated financial statements from the effective date of each acquisition. Pro forma net sales and results of operations for the Acquisitions, had they occurred at the beginning of the thirty-nine week periods ended June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively, are not significant and, accordingly, are not provided.

The Acquisitions strengthen and expand our position to design, produce and supply highly-engineered proprietary aerospace components in niche markets with significant aftermarket content and provide opportunities to create value through the application of our three core value-driven operating strategies. The purchase price paid for each Acquisition reflects the current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and cash flows, as well as, the future EBITDA and cash flows expected to be generated by the business, which is driven in most cases by the recurring aftermarket consumption over the life of a particular aircraft, which is estimated to be approximately 30 years.

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 $22.6 million in the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009 compared to $20.6 million in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2009 was 35.3% compared to 36.4% for the comparable period in the prior year. The lower effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the Company’s tax benefits related to domestic manufacturing and a reduction in the Company’s state and local tax expense.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $66.7 million in the thirty-nine week period ended June 27, 2009 compared to $52.6 million in the prior year period. The effective tax rate was 35.5% for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 2009 and was comparable to the 35.6% for the thirty-nine week period ended June 28, 2008.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction as well as in various state jurisdictions. As of June 27, 2009, the Company is subject to a U.S. Federal income tax examination for fiscal years 2007 and 2008. In addition, the Company is subject to state and local income tax examinations for fiscal years 2004 through 2008.

At June 27, 2009, the Company had $3.2 million in unrecognized tax benefits, the recognition of which would have an effect of approximately $2.1 million on the effective tax rate. At September 30, 2008, the Company had $2.8 million in unrecognized tax benefits, the recognition of which would have an effect of approximately $1.9 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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

 

9.	EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATION (RESTATED)

We restated our basic and diluted earnings per share calculations to give effect to participating securities under the two-class method of calculating earnings per share. Historically, the Company had utilized the “treasury stock method” in order to give effect to outstanding “in-the-money” stock options. Under the two-class method, securities that participate in dividends, such as the Company’s vested outstanding stock options which include non-forfeitable rights to dividends, are considered “participating securities.”

Earnings per share information is determined using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and other securities that participate in dividends (“participating securities”). Our vested stock options are considered “participating securities” because they include non-forfeitable rights to dividends. In applying the two-class method, earnings are allocated to both common stock shares and participating securities based on their respective weighted-average shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share information may include the additional effect of other securities, if dilutive, in which case the dilutive effect of such securities is calculated using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

		Thirteen Week Periods Ended						Thirty-Nine Week Periods Ended

10.	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has various financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, accrued liabilities, interest rate swaps and long-term debt. SFAS 157 (See Note 3) establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The estimated fair value of the Company’s term loans approximated $739 million at June 27, 2009 based on information provided by the agent under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. The estimated fair value of the Company’s 7 ³/4% Senior Subordinated Notes approximated $551 million at June 27, 2009 based upon quoted market prices.

Interest rate swap agreements are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with floating-rate borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility of $780 million. The interest rate swap agreements utilized by the Company effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis through the expiration dates of the agreements, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. These agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. These derivative instruments qualify as effective cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Accordingly, changes in the fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded as other comprehensive income. At June 27, 2009, one agreement was in place to the swap variable interest rate on the Senior Secured Credit Facility for fixed interest rates for the notional amount of $300 million through March 23, 2011. The agreement to swap the variable interest rate on a notional amount of $150 million expired on June 23, 2009.

The following table provides the liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of June 27, 2009 (in thousands):

 

		Fair Value at June 27, 2009			Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as
					Level 1			Level 2			Level 3
Interest Rate Swap(1)		$	7,665		$	—		$	7,665		$	—

 

(1)	Included in Other non-current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Interest rate swaps are measured at fair value using quoted market prices for the swap interest rate indexes over the term of the swap discounted to present value versus the fixed rate of the contract. They are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

11.	COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income, which includes adjustments for changes in the fair values of the interest rate swap agreements on a net of tax basis, was approximately $116.0 million and $99.8 million for the thirty-nine week periods ended June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively.

12.	SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 24, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of Acme Aerospace, Inc. (Acme) for approximately $40 million in cash. Acme is based in Tempe, Arizona and produces fibrous nickel cadmium main ship batteries, battery chargers, battery back-up systems and power conversion equipment. Acme manufactures proprietary, highly engineered components for the aerospace industry with high aftermarket content, all of which fit well with TransDigm’s overall business strategy.

 

13.	SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

TransDigm’s 7 ³/4% senior subordinated notes are jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior subordinated basis, by TD Group and TransDigm Inc.’s Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries, as defined therein. The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial information presents, in separate columns, the balance sheets of the Company as of June 27, 2009 and September 30, 2008 and its statements of income and cash flows for the thirty-nine week periods ended June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008 for (i) TransDigm Group on a parent only basis with its investment in subsidiaries recorded under the equity method, (ii) TransDigm Inc. including its directly owned operations and non-operating entities, (iii) the Subsidiary Guarantors on a combined basis, and (iv) the Company on a consolidated basis.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of June 27, 2009 and in connection with the preparation of the Original Filing, TD Group carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of TD Group’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of TD Group’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that TD Group’s disclosure controls and procedures were 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 Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to TD Group’s 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 Group’s 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. Subsequent to the issuance of the Original Filing, management identified a material weakness relating to the application of the two-class method in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. Solely as a result of this material weakness, management has revised its earlier assessment and has now concluded that TD Group’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 27, 2009. However, as of the date hereof, management believes that as a result of the remedial actions described below, we have remediated the material weakness in TD Group’s disclosure controls and procedures, and that as of the date hereof, TD Group’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, and in connection with the filing of this Form 10-Q/A, TD Group has put in place a review process in order to identify any participating securities and appropriately calculate the effect on basic and diluted earnings per share, and TD Group believes, as of the date hereof, that the material weakness has been remediated.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in TD Group’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the thirteen week period ending June 27, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, TD Group’s internal control over financial reporting.
