Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
Three Months Ended December 30, 2006
(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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended December 30, 2006 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 September 30, 2006. All references to years in these financial statements are to fiscal years.
Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday in September or October that is closest to September 30. Our financial statements will include 52 weeks in 2007 and included 53 weeks in 2006. Our financial statements include 13 weeks for the three months ended December 30, 2006 and 14 weeks for the three months ended December 31, 2005. While this may have an impact on the comparability of the reported financial results, the impact cannot be determined.
Note 2 — 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.
In the first quarter of 2007, we acquired a ball screw manufacturer for $2,547 in cash and $2,935 in assumed debt. We also paid a $63 purchase price adjustment related to the 2005 acquisition of FCS Control Systems, increasing goodwill by $63.
On August 24, 2006, we acquired McKinley Medical by issuing 445,725 shares of Moog Class A common stock valued at $14,993 and $550 in cash, of which $543 was paid in the first quarter of 2007. McKinley Medical designs, assembles and distributes disposable pumps and accessories used principally to administer therapeutic drugs for chemotherapy and antibiotic applications, and post-operative medication for pain management. This acquisition further expands our participation in medical markets.
On April 7, 2006, we acquired Curlin Medical and affiliated companies. The adjusted purchase price was $77,056, which was financed with credit facility borrowings and a $12,000 53-week unsecured note. Curlin Medical is a manufacturer of infusion pumps that provide controlled delivery of therapeutic drugs to patients. This acquisition formed our newest segment, Medical Devices, and expands our participation in medical markets.
On November 23, 2005, we acquired Flo-Tork Inc. The adjusted purchase price was $25,739, which was financed with credit facility borrowings. Flo-Tork is a leading designer and manufacturer of hydraulic and pneumatic rotary actuators and specialized cylinders for niche military and industrial applications. This acquisition not only expands our reach within Industrial Controls, but also provides new opportunities for naval applications within Space and Defense Controls.
Our purchase price allocations for the ball screw manufacturer, McKinley Medical and Curlin Medical are based on preliminary estimates of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The estimates for McKinley Medical and Curlin Medical are substantially complete with the exception of certain amounts such as receivables.
Note 3 — Stock-Based Compensation
We have stock option plans that authorize the issuance of options for shares of Class A common stock to directors, officers and key employees. Stock option grants are designed to reward long-term contributions to Moog and provide incentives for recipients to remain with Moog. The 2003 Stock Option Plan (2003 Plan) authorizes the issuance of options for 1,350,000 shares of Class A common stock. The 1998 Stock Option Plan (1998 Plan) authorizes the issuance of options for 2,025,000 shares of Class A common stock. Under the terms of the plans, options may be either incentive or non-qualified. Options issued as of December 30, 2006 consisted of both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. The exercise price, determined by a committee of the Board of Directors, may not be less than the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the grant date. Options become exercisable over periods not exceeding ten years.
Stock compensation expense recognized is based on share-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Vesting requirements vary for directors, officers and key employees. In general, options granted to outside directors vest one year from the date of grant, options granted to officers vest on various schedules and options granted to key employees are graded vested over a five-year period from the date of grant.

Total
  $ 450,971     $ 2,038     $ 493     $ 1,431     $ 454,933  
 
All acquired intangible assets other than goodwill are being amortized. The weighted-average amortization period is eight years for customer-related, technology-related and marketing-related intangible assets and ten years for artistic-related intangible assets. In total, these intangible assets have a weighted-average life of eight years. Customer-related intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships. Technology-related intangible assets primarily consist of technology, patents, intellectual property and engineering drawings. Marketing-related intangible assets primarily consist of non-compete agreements, trademarks and tradenames.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $2,118 and $1,427 for the three months ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Based on acquired intangible assets recorded at December 30, 2006, amortization is expected to be $8,017 in 2007, $7,193 in 2008, $6,793 in 2009, $6,730 in 2010 and $6,505 in 2011. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for major categories of acquired intangible assets are as follows:

Note 6 — Product Warranties
In the ordinary course of business, we warrant our products against defects in design, materials and workmanship typically over periods ranging from twelve to thirty-six months. We determine warranty reserves needed by product line based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances. Activity in the warranty accrual is summarized as follows:
                 
    Three Months Ended  
    December 30,     December 31,  
    2006     2005  
 
Warranty accrual at beginning of period

Foreign currency translation
    117       (41 )
 
Warranty accrual at end of year
  $ 6,046     $ 4,625  
 
Note 7 — Credit Facility
On October 25, 2006, we amended our U.S. credit facility. Previously our credit facility consisted of a $75,000 term loan and a $315,000 million revolver. Our new revolving credit facility, which matures on October 25, 2011, increased our borrowing capacity to $600,000. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets. The loan agreement contains various covenants, which, among others, specify minimum consolidated net worth and interest coverage and maximum leverage and capital expenditures. Interest on outstanding credit facility borrowings is based on LIBOR, plus the applicable margin, which is currently 100 basis points.
Note 8 — Derivative Financial Instruments
We use derivative financial instruments to manage the risk associated with changes in interest rates that affect the amount of future interest payments. At September 30, 2006, we had outstanding interest rate swaps with a $35,000 notional amount, effectively converting that amount of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The $35,000 notional amount matured in the first quarter of 2007. Activity in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) related to derivatives held by us during the first three months of 2007 is summarized below:
                         
    Pre-Tax     Income     After-Tax  
    Amount     Tax     Amount  
 
Accumulated gain at September 30, 2006
  $ 139     $ (53 )   $ 86  
Net increase in fair value of derivatives
    2       (1 )     1  
Net reclassification form AOCI into earnings
    (141 )     54       (87 )
 
Accumulated gain at December 30, 2006
  $     $     $  
 
To the extent that the interest rate swaps are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the interest payments being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in the first three months of 2007 or 2006. At September 30, 2006, the fair value of interest rate swaps was $273, which is included in other current assets.
We have foreign currency exposure on intercompany loans that are denominated in a foreign currency 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 the foreign currency exposure, we have foreign currency forwards with a notional amount of $22,219. The foreign currency forwards are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the statements of earnings, generally offsetting the gains or losses from the adjustments on the intercompany loans. At December 30, 2006, the fair value of the foreign currency forwards was a $544 net asset, most of which was included in other current assets. At September 30, 2006, the fair value of the foreign currency forwards was a $521 liability, most of which was included in other accrued liabilities.

We presently anticipate contributing an additional $12,000 to the U.S. plans and $4,000 to the non-U.S. plans in 2007 for a total of approximately $20,000.

Note 15 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No.48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurement. SFAS No.157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No.157 on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No.87, 88, 106 and 132(R).” This statement requires entities to recognize an asset for a defined benefit postretirement plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status in its balance sheet, with changes in funded status being recognized in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. This requirement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. This statement also requires an entity to measure a defined benefit postretirement plan’s assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employers’ fiscal year. This requirement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No.158 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 September 30, 2006. 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 leading worldwide designer and manufacturer of high performance, precision motion and fluid controls and control systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace, defense, industrial and medical device markets. Our 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 and controls for positioning gun barrels and automatic ammunition loading for military combat vehicles. Our products are also used in a wide variety of industrial applications, including injection molding machines for the plastics market, test equipment, metal forming, power generating turbines, simulators used to train pilots and certain medical applications. We operate under five segments, Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls, Industrial Controls, Components and Medical Devices. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, including facilities in New York, California, Utah, Virginia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, and in Germany, Italy, England, Japan, the Philippines, Ireland and India.
Revenue under long-term contracts, representing approximately one-third of our sales, is recognized using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting. This method of revenue recognition is associated with the Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls segments due to the long-term contractual nature of the business activities, with the exception of their respective aftermarket activities. 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 associated with the Industrial Controls, Components and Medical Devices segments, as well as with aftermarket activity.
We intend to increase our revenue base and improve our profitability and cash flows from operations by building on our market leadership positions and by strengthening our niche market positions in the principal markets that we serve. 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, growing our profitable aftermarket business, entering and developing new markets by using our broad expertise as a designer and supplier of precision controls, taking advantage of our global engineering, selling and manufacturing capabilities, striving for continuing cost improvements and capitalizing on strategic acquisition opportunities.
Challenges facing us include improving shareholder value through increased profitability while experiencing pricing pressures from customers, strong competition and increases in costs such as health care. 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.
In the first quarter of 2007, we acquired a ball screw manufacturer for $2.5 million in cash and $2.9 million in assumed debt.
On August 24, 2006, we acquired McKinley Medical by issuing 445,725 shares of Moog Class A common stock valued at $15 million and $.6 million in cash, of which $.5 million was paid in the first quarter of 2007. McKinley Medical designs, assembles and distributes disposable pumps and accessories used principally to administer therapeutic drugs for chemotherapy and antibiotic applications, and post-operative medication for pain management. This acquisition further expands our participation in medical markets.
On April 7, 2006, we acquired Curlin Medical and affiliated companies. The adjusted purchase price was $77 million, which was financed with credit facility borrowings and a $12 million 53-week unsecured note. Curlin Medical is a manufacturer of infusion pumps that provide controlled delivery of therapeutic drugs to patients. This acquisition formed our newest segment, Medical Devices, and expands our participation in medical markets.
On November 23, 2005, we acquired Flo-Tork Inc. The adjusted purchase price was $26 million, which was financed with credit facility borrowings. Flo-Tork is a leading designer and manufacturer of hydraulic and pneumatic rotary actuators and specialized cylinders for niche military and industrial applications. This acquisition not only expands our reach within Industrial Controls, but also provides new opportunities for naval applications within Space and Defense Controls.
Our purchase price allocations for the ball screw manufacturer, McKinley Medical and Curlin Medical are based on preliminary estimates of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The estimates for McKinley Medical and Curlin Medical are substantially complete with the exception of certain amounts such as receivables.
Issuance of Class A Common Stock
On February 21, 2006, we completed the offering and sale of 2,875,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $31 per share. We used the net proceeds of $84 million to pay down outstanding credit facility borrowings.

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday in September or October that is closest to September 30. Our financial statements will include 52 weeks in 2007 and included 53 weeks in 2006. Our financial statements include 13 weeks for the three months ended December 30, 2006 and 14 weeks for the three months ended December 31, 2005. While this may have an impact on the comparability of the reported financial results, the impact cannot be determined.
Net sales increased 15% in the first quarter of 2007 over the first quarter of 2006. Sales increased in each of our segments.
Our gross margin improved in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period last year due to favorable product mix in three of our segments, Space and Defense Controls, Industrial Controls and Components. Our Medical Devices segment, newly formed in the third quarter of 2006, also reported strong gross margins. Our gross margin can also be influenced by additions to contract loss reserves and, in this quarter, additions to contract loss reserves partially offset the impacts of higher volume and favorable product mix. Our additions to contract loss reserves, mostly associated with aircraft development contracts, were $7 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $5 million in the first quarter of 2006.
Research and development expenses significantly increased in the first quarter of 2007 over the first quarter last year. The higher level of research and development expenses largely relates to development activities on Boeing’s next generation commercial aircraft, the 787 Dreamliner. Those activities increased steadily during 2005 and 2006, and our first quarter expense was about the same as last year’s fourth quarter. During 2007, we expect our development efforts on the 787 to decrease as hardware moves into qualification testing.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were lower in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter last year. During the first quarter of 2006, we terminated an agreement with a long-standing sales representative and recognized a $2 million charge associated with the settlement. In addition, our stock option expense was higher in the first quarter of 2006 due to incremental expense for retirements.
Our effective tax rate was lower in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. Our effective tax rate was negatively impacted in the first quarter of 2006 by a $2 million write-off of a tax asset at our U.K. subsidiary resulting from an adverse European tax court ruling for an unrelated taxpayer.
Net earnings increased 43% and diluted earnings per share increased 30% in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. Average common shares outstanding increased primarily as a result of the sale of 2,875,000 shares of Class A common stock on February 21, 2006.
2007 Outlook — We expect sales in 2007 to increase by a range of 9% to 11% to between $1.43 billion and $1.45 billion. Sales are estimated to increase by an amount between $20 million and $40 million in Industrial Controls, $29 million in Components, $27 million in Medical Devices, $27 million in Space and Defense Controls and $20 million in Aircraft Controls. We expect margins to be 13.0% in 2007 compared to 12.4% in 2006. We expect our operating margins to increase in each of our segments other than Aircraft Controls. We expect net earnings to increase to between $98 million and $101 million. We expect diluted earnings per share to increase by a range of 15% to 19% to between $2.26 and $2.34.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OUTLOOK
Operating profit, as presented below, is net sales less cost of sales and other operating expenses, excluding stock compensation expense and other corporate expenses. Cost of sales and other operating expenses are directly identifiable to the respective segment or allocated on the basis of sales, manpower or profit. Operating profit is reconciled to earnings before income taxes in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this report.

Net sales in Aircraft Controls increased 3% in the first quarter of 2007 and the sales growth was all in commercial aircraft. OEM sales to Boeing increased $2 million and commercial aftermarket sales increased $1 million. Aircraft Controls is in a period of significant new product and program development.
Our operating margin decreased in the first quarter of 2007, reflecting significant research and development efforts on the 787 over the past two years. Research and development expenses associated with our efforts on the 787 doubled to $10 million in the first quarter of 2007. Also in our first quarter, additions to our loss reserves for certain aircraft development contracts were $6 million for unanticipated cost issues associated with challenging development initiatives on significant, complex programs. Cost increases on the Airbus A400M program and on our business jet activities were most notable in the first quarter. Similarly, in last year’s first quarter, we also had additions to our loss reserves on certain aircraft development contracts of $5 million.
Twelve-month backlog for Aircraft Controls increased to December 30, 2006 from December 31, 2005 largely related to strong commercial orders.
2007 Outlook for Aircraft Controls — We expect sales in Aircraft Controls to increase 4% to $548 million in 2007, with an increase in commercial aircraft being partially offset by a modest decrease in military aircraft. The expected increase in commercial aircraft sales relates to Boeing OEM, including the beginning of production on the 787, and business jets on which production quantities are ramping up. Within military aircraft, we expect sales to decrease on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter as our development efforts wind down and we prepare to transition into production. We expect our operating margin to be 11.9% in 2007, a decline from 12.6% in 2006, resulting from the changing balance of the business as the commercial portion increases and the continuing need for a relatively high level of research and development.

Net sales in Space and Defense Controls increased 18% in the first quarter of 2007. The most significant sales increase was $6 million in new defense controls programs. The Marine’s Light-Armored Vehicle (LAV-25) program, which started in the second quarter of 2006, generated $5 million of sales in the first quarter of 2007 and Future Combat Systems, which started in the third quarter of 2006, generated $1 million of sales this quarter. In addition, sales increased $1 million on our near-complete refurbishment efforts for orbiter actuators on the Space Shuttle and $1 million on Naval systems, a product line acquired with the Flo-Tork acquisition in the first quarter of 2006.
Our operating margin for Space and Defense Controls was strong in the first quarter of 2007, due largely to a very favorable product mix and strong sales volume. The first quarter of 2007 also favorably compares to the first quarter of 2006 due to the $2 million charge associated with the termination of a sales representative agreement in the first quarter of 2006.
Twelve-month backlog for Space and Defense Controls increased to December 30, 2006 from December 31, 2005 due to increased orders on the LAV-25 and Future Combat Systems defense controls programs and on various satellites programs.
2007 Outlook for Space and Defense Controls — We expect sales in Space and Defense Controls to increase 18% to $175 million in 2007. Sales of defense controls, including hardware for Future Combat Systems and for LAV-25, are expected to increase significantly. We expect sales of controls for tactical missiles to decrease and partially offset the increase in sales of defense controls. Sales of controls for tactical missiles will decrease related to declining activity on a number of programs including VT-1 and Maverick. We expect our operating margin in 2007 to be 9.5%, down from the strong first quarter due to anticipated changes to the product mix. This would be an improvement over the 9.0% we achieved in 2006.

Operating margin

Backlog
  $ 122.6     $ 114.6  
 
Net sales in Industrial Controls increased 13% in the first quarter of 2007. While some of our larger markets, such as plastics making machinery and motion simulation, contributed to the increase in sales, the largest increases were in heavy industry and presses and metal forming. The heavy industry market, for which we manufacture controls for steel mills, continues to be strong due to high demand in China. Stronger foreign currencies, in particular the euro, compared to the U.S. dollar also had a positive impact on sales, representing 39% of the sales increase.
Our operating margin for Industrial Controls improved in the first quarter of 2007 over the first quarter of 2006 due to a more favorable product mix. In addition, as we move more towards supplying systems instead of components over time, we expect the overall trend of margins to remain strong.
The higher level of twelve-month backlog for Industrial Controls at December 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005 primarily related to increased orders for motion simulation programs.
2007 Outlook for Industrial Controls — We expect sales in Industrial Controls to increase between 5% and 11% to an amount in the range of $401 million to $421 million in 2007. The expected sales growth is most significant for the test and plastics markets. We expect our operating margin to be 12.8% in 2007, an improvement over our 2006 margin of 11.8%, due to stronger sales and improved operating efficiencies.

Net sales in Components increased 22% in the first quarter of 2007, resulting from increases of $7 million in controls for aircraft and $5 million in defense controls. Two of our largest current aircraft programs, the Euro Fighter on which we supply fiber optic transmitters and the Black Hawk on which we supply slip rings used in deicing, contributed to the increase in sales of controls for aircraft, in addition to contributions from various smaller programs. Sales of defense controls, including foreign military sales of fiber optic modems for battlefield communication and various components supplied on the commander’s independent viewer for the Bradley fighting vehicle, also increased.
Our operating margin was even stronger in the first quarter of 2007 relative to the strong results we experienced in the first quarter of 2006. The improvement reflects our rapid growth in sales of controls for aircraft, especially aftermarket sales, and defense controls.
The higher level of twelve-month backlog at December 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005 primarily relates to increased military aircraft orders.
2007 Outlook for Components — We expect sales in Components to increase 12% to $266 million in 2007. As we experienced in the first quarter of 2007, we expect the largest sales increases in 2007 to be in defense controls and controls for aircraft. We expect our operating margin to be 16.7% in 2007, reflecting our strong first quarter performance with some moderation during the remaining quarters of 2007, compared to 15.5% in 2006.

The Medical Devices segment was established in the third quarter of 2006 as a result of the acquisition of Curlin Medical. The McKinley Medical acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2006 added to this segment.
Our operating margin for Medical Devices was 19.5% in the first quarter of 2007. These results include a $1 million charge related to a purchase accounting step-up in inventory and the amortization of intangible assets.
2007 Outlook for Medical Devices — We expect sales in Medical Devices to be $40 million in 2007, our first full year of sales in this segment. We expect our operating margin will be 20.0% after including $3 million of purchase accounting adjustments.

Cash flow from operations and available borrowing capacity provide us with resources needed to run our operations, continually reinvest in our business and take advantage of acquisition opportunities as they may arise.
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased in the first three months of 2007 compared to the first three months in 2006. The higher level of net cash provided by operating activities relates to a higher level of customer advances, mainly on certain foreign military programs and a medical components customer, in addition to higher net earnings. Depreciation and amortization was $12 million in the first three months of 2007 compared to $11 million in the first three months of 2006. Provisions for losses were $10 million in first three months of 2007 compared to $8 million in the first three months of 2006.
Investing activities
Net cash used by investing activities in the first quarter of 2007 consisted of $3 million of the purchase price for the ball screw manufacturer and $25 million of capital expenditures. The high level of capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2007 resulted from the procurement of capital equipment for the Boeing 787 production program and, to lesser extent, facility expansions in the U.S. and China. Net cash used by investing activities in the first quarter on 2006 consisted of the $24 million purchase price for the Flo-Tork acquisition, offset partially by a working capital adjustment related to our July 2005 acquisition of the Power and Data Technologies Group of the Kaydon Corporation, and $17 million of capital expenditures.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2006 primarily related to borrowings on our revolving credit facility used to fund the Flo-Tork acquisition.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments have not changed materially from the disclosures in our 2006 Form 10-K.

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.
On October 25, 2006, we amended our existing U.S. credit facility. Previously our credit facility consisted of a $75 million term loan and a $315 million revolver. Our new revolving credit facility, which matures on October 25, 2011, increased our borrowing capacity to $600 million. This is our largest credit facility and had an outstanding balance of $160 million at December 30, 2006. Interest on outstanding credit facility borrowings is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 100 basis points at December 30, 2006. 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 net worth, defined as total shareholders’ equity adjusted to maintain the amounts of accumulated other comprehensive loss at the level in existence as of September 30, 2006 is $550 million. 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 quarter, is 3.5. The covenant for maximum capital expenditures is $85 million in 2007 and 2008 and $90 million thereafter. 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 stock related expenses minus (ii) other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income. We are in compliance with all covenants.
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 capital markets and have shown strong, consistent financial performance. We believe that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing as needed.
At December 30, 2006, we had $456 million of unused borrowing capacity, including $429 million from the U.S. credit facility after considering standby letters of credit.
Total debt to capitalization was 33% at December 30, 2006 and 41% at December 31, 2005. The decrease in total debt to capitalization is due to strong earnings, the issuance of Class A common stock in 2006 and the improved pension funding status of our U.S. plan.
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
Military Aerospace and Defense
Approximately 40% of our 2006 sales related to global military defense or government-funded programs. Most of these sales were within Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls.
The military aircraft market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. Military spending is expected to remain strong in the near term. Production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering greater 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. These and other government programs can be reduced, delayed or terminated. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. Aftermarket revenues are expected to continue to grow, due to military retrofit programs and increased flight hours resulting from increased military activity.
The military and government space market is primarily dependent on the authorized levels of funding for satellite communications needs. We believe that long-term government spending on military satellites will continue to trend upwards as the military’s need for improved intelligence gathering increases.
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.
Industrial and Medical
Approximately 40% of our 2006 sales were generated in industrial and medical markets. The industrial and medical markets we serve are influenced by several factors, including capital investment, product innovation, economic growth, cost-reduction efforts and technology upgrades. However, due to the high degree of sophistication of our products and the niche markets we serve, we believe we may be less susceptible to overall macro-economic industrial trends. Opportunities for growth include demand in China, particularly in power generation and steel manufacturing markets, advancements in medical technology, automotive manufacturers that are upgrading their metal forming, injection molding and material test capabilities, increasing demand for aircraft training simulators, and the need for precision controls on plastics injection molding machines to provide improved manufacturing efficiencies.
Commercial Aircraft
Approximately 15% of our 2006 sales were on commercial aircraft programs. The commercial OEM aircraft market has historically exhibited cyclical swings and sensitivity to economic conditions. The aftermarket, which is driven by usage of the existing aircraft fleet, has proven to be more stable. Higher aircraft utilization rates result in the need for increased maintenance and spare parts and enhance aftermarket sales. Boeing and Airbus are both increasing production levels for new planes related to air traffic growth and further production increases are projected. We have contract coverage through 2012 with Boeing for the existing 7-series aircraft and are also developing flight control actuation systems for the 787, its next generation commercial aircraft. In the business jet market, our flight controls on a couple of newer jets are in early production.
Foreign Currencies
We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly in Industrial Controls. About one-third of our 2006 sales were denominated in foreign currencies including the euro and British pound. During the first three months of 2007, these foreign currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar and the translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars contributed $7 million to the sales increase over the same period one year ago. During 2006, the U.S. dollar strengthened against these currencies and the translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars reduced sales by $9 million compared to 2005.
