TELEDYNE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ Note 1. Consolidated Financial Statements - The interim consolidated financial statements of Teledyne, Inc. and subsidiaries have not been examined by independent public accountants; however, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (which include only recurring normal adjustments) required for a fair presentation of the financial position as of March 31, 1996, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, have been made. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1995 annual report to shareholders. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation. Note 2. Accounting Changes - In 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets. This statement did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. In 1995, SFAS No. 123 was issued which requires certain disclosures about stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the fair value based method of accounting. This statement, effective in 1996, allows for companies to either adopt the new method of accounting or maintain the current method of accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. The Company intends to continue to use it's current method of accounting. Note 3. Inventories - Inventories were as follows (in millions): March 31, December 31, 1996 1995 --------- ------------ Raw materials $ 50.4 $ 43.6 Work-in-process 136.6 168.8 Finished goods 73.1 61.3 ------- ------- 260.1 273.7 Progress payments (24.2) (44.3) ------- ------- $ 235.9 $ 229.4 ======= ======= Note 4. Supplemental Balance Sheet Information - Cash and marketable securities were as follows (in millions): March 31, December 31, 1996 1995 -------------- ------------ Cash $ 24.1 $ 22.1 Repurchase agreements, at market, which approximates cost 55.0 13.0 Other short-term investments, at market, which approximates cost - 6.6 ------- ------- $ 79.1 $ 41.7 ======= ======= Property and equipment is presented net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $566.5 million at March 31, 1996 and $562.7 million at December 31, 1995. Accounts payable included $13.6 million at March 31, 1996 and $9.6 million at December 31, 1995 for checks outstanding in excess of cash balances. Note 5. Dispositions - In March 1996, the Company sold Teledyne Vehicle Systems, a defense supplier of combat vehicles, mobility systems, tactical wheeled vehicles and vehicle modernization, at a pretax gain of $41.0 million, included in other income. In January 1995, the Company sold substantially all of its defense electronic systems business and related assets at a pretax gain of $50.7 million, included in other income. Note 6. Merger with Allegheny Ludlum - On April 1, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Allegheny Ludlum, a leading producer of a wide range of specialty materials including stainless steels, tool steels, high technology alloys and grain- oriented slicon steel. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Allegheny Ludlum shareholders will receive one share of the new company Allegheny Teledyne Incorporated common stock for each share of Allegheny Ludlum common stock they own, and Teledyne shareholders will receive 1.925 shares of common stock in the new entity for each of their Teledyne shares. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to shareholders and accounted for as a pooling of interests. In addition, the transaction is conditioned on approval by the respective companies' shareholders, as well as regulatory review and other closing conditions. Note 7. Business Segments - Information on the Company's business segments for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------ 1996 1995 ------- ------- Sales: Aviation and electronics: Continuing $ 255.7 $ 235.1 ------- ------- Specialty metals: Continuing 246.2 224.0 ------- ------- Consumer: Continuing 82.3 75.0 ------- ------- Industrial: Continuing 56.1 46.4 Discontinued 28.4 45.0 ------- ------- 84.5 91.4 ------- ------- Total: Continuing 640.3 580.5 Discontinued 28.4 45.0 ------- ------- $ 668.7 $ 625.5 ======= ======= Income before Income Taxes: Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------ 1996 1995 ------- ------- Aviation and electronics: Continuing $ 24.8 $ 27.7 Pension income 4.4 4.5 ------- ------- 29.2 32.2 ------- ------- Specialty metals: Continuing 30.3 24.8 Pension income 2.0 2.6 ------- ------- 32.3 27.4 ------- ------- Consumer: Continuing 5.0 2.7 Pension income - - ------- ------- 5.0 2.7 ------- ------- Industrial: Continuing 5.1 5.4 Discontinued 0.4 0.1 Pension income 6.3 6.0 ------- ------- 11.8 11.5 ------- ------- Total: Continuing 65.2 60.6 Discontinued 0.4 0.1 ------- ------- 65.6 60.7 ------- ------- Corporate expense: Salaries and benefits (4.5) (5.8) Closed businesses' expenses (2.8) (1.1) Other (10.8) (15.6) Interest expense (10.8) (10.6) Pension income 19.8 21.1 Other income 44.4 54.2 ------- ------- $ 100.9 $ 102.9 ======= ======= Discontinued results include the estimated realignment and restructure cost, before pension income and the results of operations divested. As a result of the March 1996 sale of Teledyne Vehicle Systems, sales and operating results for the unit have been reclassified and presented in discontinued results of the industrial segment. Certain amounts for 1995 have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation. Teledyne's pension income reflects the amount by which the amortization into income of pension surplus and estimated return on plan assets exceeded the current year's cost of providing benefits. Note 8. Net Income Per Share - The weighted average number of shares of common stock used in the computation of net income per share for the three ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was 55,859,589 and 55,500,626, respectively. Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies - The Company is defending an action brought under the False Claims Act in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri. The case was first filed in 1991 and concerns the Company's former Teledyne Neosho unit, divested in 1992. The U.S. government has elected to intervene and, on or about May 7, 1996, filed an amended complaint alleging misappropriation of government- owned aircraft parts and falsification of inventory control documents. Two former Teledyne Neosho employees have pleaded guilty to related criminal charges. The outcome of this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in the period in which the matter is resolved, but management does not believe the outcome is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or liquidity. On January 13, 1993, the Company's Teledyne Thermatics unit sought admission into the Department of Defense Voluntary Disclosure Program with respect to testing practices at variance from military specifications, and was accepted into the program on April 2, 1993. On May 26, 1994, the Company reached preliminary agreement with the U.S. government to settle the matter for $3.8 million, subject to conclusion of the government's investigation at Teledyne Thermatics. In connection therewith, the Company established a reserve in the amount of $3.8 million. On March 28, 1996, the Company learned that the government had concluded its investigation. By letter dated May 7, 1996, the government advised the Company that it may seek substantially more in settlement. While liability in this matter is probable, and resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in the period in which the matter is resolved, management does not believe that the outcome is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or liquidity. The Company has also made voluntary disclosures to the U.S. government of government contracting irregularities discovered in certain other of its current or former business units, and has cooperated with the government in the investigation of these matters. Management does not believe that the outcome of any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations for that period. The Company learns from time to time that it has been named as a defendant in civil actions filed under seal pursuant to the False Claims Act. Generally, as these cases are under seal, the Company does not possess sufficient information to determine whether the Company will sustain a material loss in such matters, or to reasonably estimate the amount of any loss attributable to such case or cases. Consequently, the Company has not been able to identify the existence of a material loss contingency arising therefrom. The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations which require that it investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations, including sites at which the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the federal Superfund laws and comparable state laws. The Company is currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of sites under these laws. As discussed in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the December 31, 1995, annual report to shareholders, the Company accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when the Company's liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable. In many cases, however, investigations are not yet at a stage where the Company has been able to determine whether it is liable or, if liability is probable, to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss, or certain components thereof. Estimates of the Company's liability are further subject to uncertainties regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation standards, imprecise engineering evaluations and estimates of appropriate cleanup technology, methodology and cost, the extent of corrective actions that may be required, and the number and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation. Accordingly, as investigation and remediation of these sites proceeds, it is likely that adjustments in the Company's accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in a given period, but are not reasonably estimable. Based on currently available information, however, management does not believe future environmental costs at sites with which the Company has been identified in excess of those accrued are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or liquidity. At March 31, 1996, the Company's reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled approximately $42 million, of which approximately $15 million was included in other current liabilities. The reserve includes estimated probable future costs of $15 million for federal Superfund and comparable state-managed sites; $9 million for formerly owned or operated sites for which the Company has remediation or indemnification obligations; $10 million for owned or controlled sites at which Company operations have been discontinued; and $8 million for sites utilized by the Company in its ongoing operations. The Company has resolved claims against its insurance carriers for recovery of environmental costs, and does not expect to recover a material amount of future costs for environmental liabilities from its carriers or from third parties other than participating potentially responsible parties. The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site, including the nature and extent of contamination, the number of potentially responsible parties, the timing of regulatory approvals, the complexity of the investigation and remediation, and the standards for remediation. The Company expects that it will expend present accruals over many years, and will complete remediation of all sites with which it has been identified in up to thirty years. A number of lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its business, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment, employee benefits, shareholder, tax and government contract matters. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations for that period. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Results of Operations - --------------------- Teledyne is a technology-based manufacturing company serving worldwide customers with commercial and government-related aviation and electronics products; specialty metals for consumer, industrial, and aerospace applications; and industrial and consumer products. Results of Operations Sales and operating profit for the Company's four business segments are discussed below. Aviation and Electronics - ------------------------ Sales from continuing operations increased to $255.7 million for the first quarter of 1996 from $235.1 million for the same period of 1995. Sales improved principally due to increased development work on the United States' new High Altitude Endurance Unmanned Aerial Surveillance/Reconnaissance Vehicle ("Global Hawk"). Sales also improved in electronic devices and electromechanical relays for commercial customers, engineering services related to environmental clean-up of chemical munitions, and avionics for the commercial aviation market. The sales increase was partially offset by lower shipments of fabricated products for the U.S. armed forces, airframe structures for the U.S. government, electronic countermeasure equipment for the international market, and engines and spare parts for the general aviation market. Operating profit from continuing operations decreased to $24.8 million for the first quarter of 1996 from $27.7 million for the same period of 1995. Operating profit declined year over year primarily due to 1995 non-recurring income of $3.2 million from the reversal of estimated losses on fixed-price development and initial production contracts. The strong performance in 1996 of electronic devices and electromechanical relays was offset by reduced sales and margins on engines and spare parts for the general aviation market. Specialty Metals - ---------------- Sales from continuing operations increased to $246.2 million for the first quarter of 1996 from $224.0 million for the same period of 1995. The most significant increase was for high precision milling, boring and drilling systems sold by the European-based Stellram Group, acquired in December 1995. Sales also increased for titanium-based alloys and specialty tool steels due to continued improvement in worldwide commercial aerospace and other industrial markets, and for carbide cutting tools and thin-rolled products due to new market opportunities. Lower zirconium sales and decreased demand for forgings due to softness in the truck market partially offset the sales increases. Operating profit from continuing operations increased to $30.3 million for the first quarter of 1996 from $24.8 million for the same period of 1995. Operating profit for 1996 increased primarily due to higher sales and improved margins. The improvement in operating profit was partially offset by lower margins on thin-rolled products, lower productivity and increased energy costs related to the severe winter weather. Consumer - -------- Sales from continuing operations increased to $82.3 million for the first quarter of 1996 from $75.0 million for the same period of 1995. Sales increases primarily occurred in oral health products, commercial and residential heating systems, and in specialty packaging for pharmaceutical and food companies due to sales by a Costa Rican manufacturer, Envases Comerciales, S.A., acquired in December 1995. In addition, sales improved for Teledyne Water Pik products introduced in 1995, the SenSonic Plaque Removal Instrument(tm) and the Pour-Thru Water Filter device. The continuing sluggishness in spending on consumer durables negatively effected sales of pool products and heating elements to original equipment manufacturers. Operating profit from continuing operations increased to $5.0 million the first quarter of 1996 from $2.7 million for the same period of 1995. The increase in operating profit was due primarily to higher sales and lower start- up costs incurred on product introductions. Industrial - ---------- Sales from continuing operations increased to $56.1 million for the first quarter of 1996 from $46.4 million for the same period of 1995 due to improved sales of nitrogen cylinder systems and metal stamping dies and compression molds for automotive and truck markets, partially offset by lower sales of vehicle control valves to the trucking industry. Operating profit from continuing operations was $5.1 million for the first quarter of 1996 compared to $5.4 million for the same period of 1995. A decline in margins of material handling equipment offset the increased profits related to the sales increases discussed above. In March 1996, the Company sold Teledyne Vehicle Systems, a defense supplier of combat vehicles, mobility systems, tactical wheeled vehicles and vehicle modernization, at a pretax gain of $41.0 million, included in other income. Sales and operating profit for Teledyne Vehicle Systems have been reclassified and are presented in discontinued operations. Corporate Expense Corporate expense decreased to $18.1 million for the first quarter of 1996 from $22.5 million for the same period of 1995 primarily due to lower salaries and benefits, and to decreased legal and advisory fees associated with unsolicited merger proposals and ensuing proxy contests. Pension Income Teledyne's pension income reflects the amount by which the amortization into income of pension surplus and estimated return on plan assets exceeded the current year's cost of providing benefits. Pension income before tax was $19.8 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $21.1 million for the same period of 1995. The decrease in pension income was a result of reduced amortization of actuarial pension gains and a decrease in the discount rate, to 7.5% from 8.5%, used to calculate the pension benefit obligation, partially offset by a higher expected return on pension assets. Income Taxes The Company's lower effective tax rate for 1995 was the result of a $2.1 million reduction in 1995 of prior's years estimated tax liabilities not repeated in 1996. Financial Condition The Company has been able to meet all cash requirements for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 with cash generated from operations, proceeds from the sale of businesses and its credit lines and is not aware of any impending cash requirement or capital commitments which could not be met by internally generated funds or, if needed, the utilization of its committed lines of credit. Cash used in operations was $0.7 million for the first quarter of 1996 and cash from operations was $20.8 million for the same period of 1995. The Company received $59.9 million in 1996 and $63.2 million in 1995 from the sale of businesses. Capital expenditures were $10.8 million for the first quarter of 1996 and $15.1 million for the same period of 1995. The Company paid cash dividends of $14.0 million during the first quarter of 1996 and $5.6 million during the same period of 1995. At March 31, 1996, the Company's unused lines of credit with various banks totaled $135.0 million. Other Matters Merger with Allegheny Ludlum - ---------------------------- On April 1, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Allegheny Ludlum, a leading producer of a wide range of specialty materials including stainless steels, tool steels, high technology alloys and grain- oriented slicon steel. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Allegheny Ludlum shareholders will receive one share of the new company Allegheny Teledyne Incorporated common stock for each share of Allegheny Ludlum common stock they own, and Teledyne shareholders will receive 1.925 shares of common stock in the new entity for each of their Teledyne shares. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to shareholders and accounted for as a pooling of interests. In addition, the transaction is conditioned on approval by the respective companies' shareholders, as well as regulatory review and other closing conditions. Government Contracts - -------------------- Company subsidiaries perform work on a substantial number of defense contracts with the U.S. government. Many of these contracts include price redetermination clauses, and most are terminable at the convenience of the government. Certain of these contracts are fixed-price or fixed-price incentive development contracts. There is risk on such contracts that costs may exceed those expected when the contracts were negotiated. Absent modification of these contracts, any costs incurred in excess of the fixed or ceiling prices must be borne by the Company. In addition, virtually all defense programs are subject to curtailment or cancellation due to the annual nature of the government appropriations and allocations process. A material reduction in U.S. government appropriations for defense programs may have an adverse effect on the Company's business, depending upon the specific defense programs affected by any such reduction. The Company, like other government contractors, has been and is subject from time to time to various audits, reviews and investigations relating to the Company's compliance with federal and state laws. Generally, claims arising out of these government inquiries are resolved without resort to litigation. However, should the unit involved be charged with wrongdoing, or should the U.S. government determine that the unit is not a "presently responsible contractor," that unit, and conceivably the Company, could be temporarily suspended or, in the event of a conviction, could be debarred for up to three years from receiving new government contracts or government-approved subcontracts. Given the extent of the Company's business with the U.S. government, a suspension or debarment of the Company could have a material adverse effect on the future operating results and consolidated financial condition of the Company. However, although the outcome of government inquiries cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe there is any audit, review or investigation currently pending against the Company that is likely to result in suspension or debarment of the Company, or that is otherwise likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. For additional discussion of government contract matters, see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Environmental - ------------- The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations which require that it investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations, including sites at which the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the federal Superfund laws and comparable state laws. The Company is currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of sites under these laws. The Company's reserves for environmental investigation and remediation totaled approximately $42 million at March 31, 1996, of which approximately $15 million was included in other current liabilities. The total reserve amount relates to four categories of sites with which the Company has been associated: federal Superfund and comparable state-managed sites, formerly owned or operated sites for which the Company has remediation or indemnification obligations, owned or controlled sites at which Company operations have been discontinued, and sites utilized by the Company in its on-going operations. The Company is party to a number of proceedings brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, commonly known as Superfund, or similar state statutes. The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party at approximately 60 such sites, excluding those at which it believes it has no future liability. The Company's involvement is very limited or de minimus at approximately 50 of these sites. Reserves of $15 million have been established for future remediation and settlement costs at sites in this category. With respect to the remaining three categories, reserves of $9 million have been established with respect to formerly owned or operated sites for which the Company has remediation or indemnification obligations; reserves of $10 million have been established for remediation of owned or controlled sites at which Company operations have been discontinued; and reserves of $8 million have been accrued for sites utilized by the Company in its ongoing operations. The measurement of environmental liabilities by the Company is based on currently available facts, present laws and regulations, and current technology. As investigation and remediation of these sites proceeds, it is likely that adjustments in the Company's accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in any one period, but are not reasonably estimable. Based on currently available information, however, management does not believe future environmental costs at sites with which the Company has been identified in excess of those accrued are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or liquidity. For additional discussion of environmental matters, see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings - -------------------------- On October 29, 1992, Eugene J. Bass, a shareholder purporting to act derivatively on behalf of Registrant, commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against certain of Registrant's directors and executive officers, a former employee of Registrant's Teledyne Relays unit, and Registrant as a "nominal" defendant. Subsequently, Herman and Lillian Krangel and Marshall Wolf joined the action as plaintiffs. On February 26, 1993, plaintiffs filed a consolidated second amended complaint in the action which alleged, among other things, violations of RICO and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and breaches of fiduciary duty, in connection with the management and administration of the affairs of Registrant with respect to its Teledyne Controls, Teledyne Electro-Mechanisms, Teledyne Electronics, Teledyne Firth Sterling, Teledyne Neosho, Teledyne Relays, Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical, Teledyne Solid State, Teledyne Systems, Teledyne Thermatics and Teledyne Wah Chang Albany units, and with respect to Registrant's foreign military sales effort in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The action seeks a declaratory judgment, treble the damages allegedly sustained by Registrant as a result of the alleged conduct, return of salaries and other remuneration received by the defendants, a declaration that the election of directors at Registrant's annual meetings in 1987 through 1992 is null and void, plaintiffs' costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, and other appropriate relief. On August 19, 1993, the Court issued a memorandum decision dismissing plaintiffs' state law claims without prejudice to refiling in state court, dismissing plaintiffs' RICO and Securities Exchange Act claims without prejudice, and ordering plaintiffs to show cause why their RICO and Securities Exchange Act claims should not be dismissed with prejudice. After briefing by the parties, the Court entered an order on September 30, 1993, dismissing plaintiffs' RICO and Securities Exchange Act claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on October 4, 1993. On December 7, 1993, following dismissal of their consolidated second amended complaint in the above-described action, Eugene J. Bass, Herman Krangel, Lillian Krangel and Marshall Wolf, shareholders purporting to act derivatively on behalf of Registrant, commenced an action in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against certain of Registrant's directors and executive officers, a former employee of Teledyne Relays, and Registrant as a "nominal" defendant. The complaint in this action alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duty and gross mismanagement in connection with the management and administration of the affairs of Registrant with respect to its Teledyne Controls, Teledyne Electro-Mechanisms, Teledyne Electronics, Teledyne Firth Sterling, Teledyne Neosho, Teledyne Relays, Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical, Teledyne Solid State, Teledyne Systems, Teledyne Thermatics and Teledyne Wah Chang Albany units, and with respect to Registrant's foreign military sales effort in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The action seeks a declaratory judgment, damages allegedly sustained by Registrant as a result of the alleged conduct, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, and other appropriate relief. On February 11, 1993, Moise Katz and Harry Lewis, shareholders purporting to act derivatively on behalf of Registrant, commenced an action in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against certain of Registrant's directors and Registrant as a "nominal" defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, gross negligence and breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with the management and administration of the affairs of Registrant with respect to its Teledyne Controls, Teledyne Relays and Teledyne Systems units, each of which has been subject to investigation by the U.S. government, and with respect to Registrant's foreign military sales effort in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The complaint seeks damages sustained by Registrant as a result of the alleged conduct, plaintiffs' costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, and other appropriate relief. On February 28, 1994, the Court entered an order dismissing the complaint with prejudice; plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the order on March 25, 1994. The parties entered a stipulation settling the shareholder derivative actions described above, and on January 22, 1996, the Court entered final judgment approving the agreed settlement. On March 20, 1996, an objecting shareholder appealed the Court's approval of the settlement to the California Court of Appeal. Item 6.
