PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
Integrated Defense Technologies, Inc. ("IDT" or "the Company")
is a developer and provider of advanced electronics and
technology products to the defense and intelligence industries.
The Company's products are installed on or used in support of a
broad array of military platforms in order to enhance their
operational performance or extend their useful life. The Company
supplies its products to a market that includes, in the United
States alone, approximately 5,000 aircraft, 800 naval vessels,
20,000 combat vehicles, 100,000 transport vehicles, 400 missile
systems and 60 combat training ranges. The Company's installed
product base is found on major military platforms such as the F-
16 and C-17 aircraft, the DDG-51 Destroyer and the Trident
submarine, the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank and the Light Armored
Vehicle, the High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle
("HMMWV"), the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, and the Patriot and
Tomahawk missile systems. Most of the Company's products are
vital components of systems that the Company believes are mission
critical or mission essential to the DoD achieving its
operational goals.
The Company offers over 500 products that are incorporated
into approximately 250 programs and which in turn are installed
on or support over 275 platforms. No one product, program or
platform accounted for more than 6% of the Company's revenue for
the year ended December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2002, the
Company employed approximately 547 engineers, which represented
approximately 26% of its workforce. The Company's customers
include all branches of the military, major domestic prime
defense contractors (such as The Boeing Company, General
Dynamics, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman
Corporation, Raytheon Company and United Defense Industries,
Inc.), foreign defense contractors, foreign governments and U.S.
Government agencies. In 2002, the Company generated revenues of
$304.4 million and an operating income of $26.7 million. At
December 31, 2002, the Company had a total backlog of $402.9
million, of which $285.8 million was funded.
The Company's products can be categorized into the following
families:
Electronic Combat Systems. These products optimize the
performance and readiness of combat pilots, weapon systems, and
military platforms and represented approximately 50.3% of the
Company's 2002 revenues.
Diagnostics & Power Systems. These products enhance vehicle
performance and mobility, fuel efficiency, stealth capability and
survivability and represented approximately 27.6% of the
Company's 2002 revenues.
Communications & Surveillance Systems. These products are
installed in systems that are capable of identifying friend or
foe, jamming enemy communications systems, amplifying radio
communications signals, executing self-destruct signals, and air
and sea monitoring and represented approximately 22.0% of the
Company's 2002 revenues.
Industry Overview
Since the end of the Cold War, the role of the U.S. military has
evolved due to the ongoing federal budget pressures and the need to
meet a new set of strategic and tactical global threats. In
response, the DoD has focused its resources on enhancing readiness
and technological sophistication by incorporating advanced
electronics to improve systems performance, reduce operating costs,
and extend the life expectancy of both existing and future
platforms. This ongoing transformation centers on developing the
networked and improved information and command and control
capabilities needed to significantly enhance coordinated joint
forces operations. With the support of an advanced command,
control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance, or "C4ISR" common backbone, the U.S. will be
prepared to respond rapidly and decisively to any conflict.
Until the transformational forces that are on the drawing boards
today are available in the next decade, the U.S. government must
invest in maintaining the weapons it has while building the force
of the future. The technical challenges and development schedules
of these requirements, coupled with the demand for lighter, more
capable systems for quick deployment, favor a company with agility,
technical depth, proven record, and technical expertise. The
Company has emphasized the technology and development of programs
that are directed towards transforming capabilities while
simultaneously growing supporting technologies. These supporting
technologies are primarily in capabilities for training,
simulation, and networked joint operations, which require extensive
collaboration and situational awareness due to unprecedented
volumes of critical battlespace information.
The Company believes that the DoD will look to subsystem and
niche suppliers, with strong technical capabilities and a critical
mass of sophisticated products, like IDT, to assist in the
development of critical advanced electronics initiatives. Since IDT
derives its revenues predominantly from contracts with the DoD,
intelligence agencies, large military contractors, and foreign
governments, the funding of the Company's development and
production programs is generally linked to trends in U.S. and
international defense spending. The Bush Administration submitted
to Congress a $399 billion FY 2004 defense budget that reflects a
21.3% increase over the last two years. In addition, the
Administration proposes an increase of approximately 17% in
defense spending between FY 2003 and FY 2009, representing an
increase of approximately 22% above average Cold War levels.
Corporate History
The Company is the product of the acquisition of several
businesses since 1998. The Company's equity sponsor, The
Veritas Capital Fund, L.P., acquired PEI Electronics, Inc.
("PEI") in October 1998. PEI served as the Company's foundation
in acquiring other businesses. In August 1999, the Company
acquired the Sierra Research division of Sierra Technologies,
Inc. and the Zeta division of Sierra Networks, Inc. In September
2000, the Company acquired Tech-Sym Corporation, retaining its
Metric Systems Corporation subsidiary, its Continental
Electronics division, and its Enterprise Electronics Corporation
subsidiary, and concurrently sold two other subsidiaries of Tech-
Sym Corporation to companies owned by The Veritas Capital Fund,
L.P. In November 2002, the Company acquired the BAE SYSTEMS
Advanced Systems Gaithersburg, Maryland operation, now known as
Signia-IDT, Inc. ("Signia"). Concurrent with this acquisition,
the Company's Zeta division was reorganized and combined with
Signia.
The Company's business presently consists of three operating
segments: Electronic Combat Systems, Diagnostics & Power Systems,
and Communications & Surveillance Systems. Metric and Sierra are
included in the Company's Electronic Combat Systems segment, PEI
comprises its Diagnostics & Power Systems segment, and Signia,
Zeta, Enterprise and Continental are included in its
Communications & Surveillance Systems segment.
Business Segments
The Company's reportable segments are defined primarily by
their economic characteristics, the nature of their products and
services, and by their class of customer. Each is discussed in
further detail below. As noted previously, the Company has been
built upon significant acquisitions of business entities,
including the acquisition of Tech-Sym on September 29, 2000.
Since this business acquisition addressed two of the Company's
three operating segments, the Company did not operate in each
business segment in full in 2000. In addition, the Communications
& Surveillance Systems segment includes only two months of
Signia's results of operations in 2002. For additional
information regarding the Company's business segments, including
financial information for the three years ended December 31,
2002, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and Note 15 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's 2002
Annual Report to Stockholders, which is incorporated herein by
reference.

Sales and Marketing
The Company's marketing and business development activities
are divided on a business segment or geographical basis with
primary responsibility assigned to a single location. The
Company's marketing strategy is a customer-based approach that
takes advantage of interaction with the customer. This enables
the Company's product teams to employ the feedback and guidance
of customers on a real-time basis. The Company focuses on
supporting and extending its current sole-source contract
relationships. The Company integrates sales and marketing with
its research and development activities. Together, these teams
assess the product's life-cycle and anticipate future
applications for the Company's current technologies. The Company
continuously analyzes the defense and intelligence markets to
anticipate the needs of its existing customers.
In addition to its internal business development staff, the
Company retains sales representatives in the geographical markets
it serves. This structure provides the Company with an efficient,
cost effective and responsive sales force in the non-military
marketplace. Wherever possible, the Company uses sales
representatives that also provide local content to foster close
customer relationships and, in many cases, to meet local content
requirements of the target market. The Company's sales
representatives are paid solely on a commission basis and only
upon successful contract conclusion.
The Company believes that a high level of customer support is
important to the sale of its products and services. Customer
support includes pre-installation guidance, customer training, on-
site installation, and technical support services in addition to
consultative professional services. The Company employs
engineers and technical specialists to provide customer
assistance, maintenance, and training.
Research and Development
The Company devotes a substantial portion of its resources to
developing new products and enhancing existing products. During
the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, and 2002, the Company's
internally funded research and development costs charged to
expense totaled $7.0 million, $6.1 million, and $6.5 million,
respectively.
Research and development performed both at the Company's
expense and under development contracts with customers is an
important element in the success of the Company's business. As of
December 31, 2002, the Company employed approximately 547
engineers.
The Company views its expertise in developing proprietary
technology and applying this technology to advanced electronic
systems as a core competency. The Company's engineers work
closely with its marketing and business development groups to
identify enhancements or complementary product features required
to capitalize on opportunities in high growth areas.
After the Company develops internally funded proprietary
technologies, its customers typically fund the application of
these technologies to meet their specific requirements. The
Company leverages its existing technologies and its significant
research and development efforts across business segments,
employing an exchange of ideas focused on the best practices
among its existing technologies to create new systems and pursue
new markets. This approach has permitted the Company to establish
a reputation for technological excellence and to develop long-
term relationships with a wide variety of customers in various
defense and intelligence related markets.
Customers and Backlog
The Company's customers are typically prime contractors and
subcontractors on projects where the U.S. Government, typically
the DoD, is the end-user. In addition, the Company has
relationships with many foreign governments. The Company's
customers include all of the U.S. military services, major
domestic prime defense contractors such as The Boeing Company,
General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman
Corporation, Raytheon Company and United Defense Industries,
Inc., foreign defense contractors, and a number of governments
and militaries of foreign countries. For the years ended
December 31, 2000, 2001, and 2002, direct and indirect sales to
the U.S. Government provided approximately 84%, 77%, and 84%,
respectively, of the Company's total revenues for those periods,
with the remainder of its revenues comprised of sales to foreign
governments and non-defense-related customers. Direct sales to
the U.S. Government totaled approximately $107.2 million (59% of
revenue), $160.8 million (61% of revenue) and $165.7 million (54%
of revenue) in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. These revenues
are attributed primarily to the Electronic Combat Systems and
Diagnostics & Power Systems segments. The U.S. Government was the
only customer accounting for more than 10% of the Company's
consolidated revenue in any of these three years.
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had approximately 250
active contracts representing a total backlog of $402.9 million,
$285.8 million of which was funded. (See "Backlog" in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contained in the Company's 2002 Annual
Report to Stockholders, which is incorporated herein by
reference, for further details of the Company's backlog,
including backlog by business segment at December 31, 2000, 2001,
and 2002.)
Suppliers and Materials
The Company's in-house manufacturing primarily consists of
assembly of purchased parts. Accordingly, the Company does not
use significant amounts of raw materials. The Company purchases
manufactured component parts for its assemblies from various
independent suppliers. These parts are not normally purchased
under long-term contracts unless a long-term sales contract with
one of the Company's customers requires it. The Company is not
dependent on any one supplier and maintains back-up suppliers for
all critical components. However, any delay in the Company's
suppliers' abilities to obtain necessary parts may affect its
ability to meet customer production needs.
Export Sales
There are two principal contracting methods used for export
sales, Direct Foreign Sales ("DFS") and the U.S. Government's
Foreign Military Sales ("FMS"). In a DFS transaction, the
contractor sells directly to the foreign country and assumes all
risks in the transaction. In an FMS transaction, the sale is
funded for, contracted by and made to the U.S. Government, which
in turn sells the product to the foreign country. Licenses are
required from U.S. Government agencies for DFS exports of many of
the Company's products. In addition, the U.S. Government
prohibits or restricts the export of some of the Company's
products.
The Company currently sells several of its products in the
international marketplace. Direct sales to non-U.S. customers
accounted for approximately 13%, 22% and 12% of the Company's
revenue in the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, and 2002,
respectively. The Company's foreign contracts are generally
payable in U.S. dollars.
Seasonality
The Company's business is seasonal, with a concentration of
revenue in the fourth quarter of the year, because many of the
Company's sales contracts expire on December 31 of each year. As
a result, product sales efforts at year end are expedited to
fulfill funding terms prior to expiration of the contracts.
A summary of the Company's quarterly results of operations for
the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 is included in Note 18
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the
Company's 2002 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is
incorporated herein by reference.
Competition
The market for defense electronics is highly competitive. The
Company faces a variety of domestic and foreign competitors
including divisions of The Boeing Company, Harris Corporation,
Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman
Corporation, Raytheon Company and Thales S.A. Many of the
Company's competitors are larger than the Company and have
substantially greater financial and other resources.
The Company competes on the basis of product offerings, price,
product and systems quality, technology and ongoing customer
service and support. The Company's ability to compete for defense
contracts depends on a variety of factors, including:
o the effectiveness and innovation of its research and
development programs,
o its ability to offer better program performance than its
competitors at a lower cost, and
o the readiness of its facilities, equipment and personnel to
undertake the programs for which it competes.
In programs where the Company is the sole-source provider,
other suppliers may compete against it only if the customer
chooses to reopen the particular program to competition.
Furthermore, the Company's electronic systems and solutions
contain advanced technology derived from internal and customer-
funded research and development, creating high barriers to
entry.
Regulatory Matters and Government Contracts
Substantially all of the Company's revenue is derived from
contracts with the DoD, prime contractors that identify the DoD
as the ultimate purchaser, or other U.S. Government agencies.
U.S. Government business is performed under fixed-price contracts
and cost-plus contracts.
Under U.S. Government regulations, certain costs, including
certain financing costs, portions of research and development
costs, lobbying expenses, certain types of legal expenses, and
certain marketing expenses related to the preparation of bids and
proposals, are not allowed for pricing purposes and calculation
of contract reimbursement rates under flexibly-priced contracts.
The U.S. Government also regulates the methods under which costs
are allocated to U.S. Government contracts. The Company is
subject to a variety of audits performed by U.S. Government
agencies. These include pre-award audits that are performed at
the submission of a proposal to the government. During the
performance of a contract, the U.S. Government has the right to
request and to examine any labor charges, any material purchase,
and any overhead changes to any contract that is active. Upon a
contract's completion, the U.S. Government performs a post award
audit of all aspects of contract performance to ensure that the
Company has performed the contract in a manner consistent with
its proposal.
The Defense Contract Audit Agency ("DCAA") performs these
audits on behalf of the U.S. Government. The DCAA has the right
to perform audits on the Company's incurred costs on all
contracts on a yearly basis. Approval of a submitted yearly cost
can take from one to three years from the date of submission of
the contract cost. All of the Company's incurred costs for U.S.
Government contracts completed prior to 2000 have been approved
by the DCAA.
U.S. Government contracts are, by their terms, subject to
termination by the U.S. Government for either its convenience or
default by the contractor. Fixed-price contracts provide for
payment upon termination for items delivered to and accepted by
the U.S. Government and, if the termination is for convenience,
for payment of fair compensation of work performed plus the costs
of settling and paying claims by terminated subcontractors, other
settlement expenses, and a reasonable profit on the costs
incurred. Cost-plus contracts provide that, upon termination, the
contractor is entitled to reimbursement of its allowable costs
and, if the termination is for convenience, a total fee
proportionate to the percentage of the work completed under the
contract. If a contract termination is for default, however, the
contractor is paid an amount agreed upon for completed and
partially completed products and services accepted by the U.S.
Government. In these circumstances, the U.S. Government is not
liable for the contractor's costs with respect to unaccepted
items, and is entitled to repayment of advance payments and
progress payments, if any, related to the terminated portion of
the contract. The contractor may be liable for excess costs
incurred by the U.S. Government in procuring undelivered items
from another source.
In addition to the right of the U.S. Government to terminate,
U.S. Government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing
availability of Congressional appropriations. Congress usually
appropriates funds for a given program on a September 30 fiscal
year basis, even though contract performance may take many years.
Consequently, at the outset of a major program, the contract is
usually partially funded, and additional monies are normally
committed to the contract by the procuring agency only as
appropriations are made by Congress for future fiscal years.
Environmental Matters
The Company's operations include the use, generation and
disposal of hazardous materials. The Company is subject to
various U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations relating to the protection of the environment,
including those governing the discharge of pollutants into the
air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous
substances and wastes, the cleanup of contaminated sites and the
maintenance of a safe workplace. Except as described under Item
3, Legal Proceedings, the Company believes that it has been and
is in substantial compliance with environmental laws and
regulations and that it has no liabilities under environmental
requirements that it would expect to have a material adverse
affect on its business, results of operations or financial
condition. In the past three years, the Company has not incurred
substantial costs relating to environmental compliance.
Intellectual Property
Although the Company owns a number of patents and has filed
applications for additional patents, the Company does not believe
that the success of its operations depends upon its patents. When
the Company works on U.S. Government contracts, the U.S.
Government has contractual rights to data for the Company's
"core" technologies, source codes, and other developments. In the
Company's research and development process, the Company maintains
records of its data rights in order to claim these rights as its
proprietary technology, but the Company may not always be able to
delineate its proprietary developments from those developed under
U.S. Government contracts. The protection of the Company's data
from use by other U.S. Government contractors is subject to
negotiation from time to time between the Company and the U.S.
Government, and the extent of the Company's data rights in any
particular product generally depends upon the degree to which
that product was developed by the Company without U.S. Government
funds.
Risks and Uncertainties
In addition to those described above and in Item 3, Legal
Proceedings, the Company has risks and uncertainties related to
its business and operating environment. See Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contained in the Company's 2002 Annual Report to
Stockholders, which is incorporated herein by reference, for
further discussion of these risks and uncertainties.
Employees
At December 31, 2002, the Company had approximately 2,100
employees. Approximately 45% of the Company's employees are
engaged in production, 33% of the Company's employees are engaged
in engineering, research, and development, and 22% are engaged in
sales, marketing, product support, and general administration.
Approximately 7% of the Company's employees are represented by a
union and are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that
expires in May 2003. Approximately 96% of the Company's
employees are based in the United States. The Company has had no
work stoppages due to labor difficulties and considers its
employee relations to be satisfactory.
Recent Developments
On February 27, 2003, the Company announced that it had
retained Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. to assist the Board of
Directors in evaluating strategic alternatives in order to
maximize stockholder value.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a defendant in various legal actions arising
in the normal course of business, the outcomes of which, in the
opinion of management, neither individually nor in the aggregate
are likely to result in a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.
Some environmental laws, such as the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
also known as CERCLA or the Superfund law, and similar state
statutes, can impose liability for the entire cost of the cleanup
of contaminated sites upon any of the current or former site
owners or operators (or upon parties who sent waste to these
sites), regardless of the lawfulness of the original activities
that led to the contamination. In July 2000, prior to its
acquisition by the Company, Tech-Sym Corporation received a
Section 104(e) Request for Information from the National Park
Service, or NPS, pursuant to CERCLA regarding a site known as the
Orphan Mine site in the Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona,
which is the subject of an NPS investigation regarding the
presence of residual radioactive materials and contamination.
Tech-Sym Corporation's predecessor operated this uranium mine
from 1956 to 1967. In 1962, the land was sold to the U.S.
Government, although the mining rights for the next twenty-five
years were retained. Tech-Sym Corporation sold the mining rights
in 1967, and the Company believes that the mine was operated
until approximately 1972. The Company believes that there are
several other companies in the chain of title to the mining
rights subsequent to Tech-Sym, and, accordingly, that there are
several other potentially responsible parties, or PRPs, for the
environmental conditions at the site, including the U.S.
Government as owner of the land. The NPS has not yet made a
demand on the Company, nor to the Company's knowledge, on any
other PRP, nor has it listed the Orphan Mine site on the National
Priority List of contaminated sites. Nonetheless, the Company has
retained a technical consultant in connection with this matter,
who has conducted a limited, preliminary review of site
conditions, and has been in communication with the NPS regarding
actions that may be required at the site by all of the PRPs.
While it is too soon to determine the ultimate financial
implications to the Company, based upon the Company's knowledge
of the current facts and circumstances surrounding this matter,
the Company does not believe the total costs to the Company with
respect to this matter will be material.
