FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS  CAUTIONARY  NOTICE

This annual report contains forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, relating to earnings, cost-savings, growth opportunities,
capital expenditures, pension matters and strategic plans. Actual results could differ
materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors, including changes in
demand for products sold to the semiconductor, communications and commercial aviation
markets, timely development of acceptable and competitive fuel cell products and systems,
funding, continuation and award of government programs, receipt of (or failure to receive)
government award fees based on collective performance achievements of multiple
contractors, the terms of the Company’s renewal of its current products liability insurance
policy, continued liquidity of our customers (including commercial airline customers) and
economic and political conditions, could change the anticipated results.

United States’ and global responses to the Middle East conflict, terrorism and perceived
nuclear threats increase uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements about our
businesses. Various responses could realign government programs, and affect the
composition, funding or timing of our programs. As happened after the September 11th
terrorist attacks, reinstatement of flight restrictions would negatively impact the market for
general aviation aircraft piston engine and components. 

We are increasingly experiencing adverse effects of September 11th. The resulting
downturn in the stock market, exacerbated by public company accounting issues, has
negatively affected the value of the Company's pension assets. Absent improved market
conditions, the Company will be required to make a contribution to its pension plan in
2004. In addition, these events have had significant impacts on the insurance markets
greatly increasing insurance costs. Our existing aircraft product liability insurance policy
expires in May 2003 and our directors and officers policy expires in November 2003.

The Company continues to take action to assure compliance with the internal controls,
disclosure controls and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which
resulted from the corporate scandals. While the Company believes its control systems are
effective, there are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

While Teledyne Technologies’ growth strategy includes possible acquisitions, we cannot
provide any assurance as to when, if or on what terms any acquisitions will be made.
Acquisitions, including the recent acquisition of Monitor Labs Incorporated, involve
various inherent risks, such as, among others, our ability to integrate acquired businesses
and to achieve identified financial and operating synergies. Also, we may not be able to sell
timely or on acceptable terms our remaining non-core or under-performing product lines,
particularly given the current economic environment.

Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements is contained in Teledyne
Technologies’ periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its
2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company assumes no duty to update forward-
looking statements.

eledyne had a good year in 2002, both financially and
strategically. The company’s strong financial performance,
despite weak demand for a number of our commercial
products, reflects an agile enterprise with a flat management
structure focused on operational excellence and cost reduction.

Strategically, we made another synergistic acquisition in the instrumentation
area, and continued to focus our investments to grow the company’s
electronics, instruments and systems engineering businesses. 

Sales in each of the company’s reporting segments were greater in 2002
than 2001. Earnings and cash flow increased substantially, and we ended 2002
with a healthy balance sheet with no debt and $19 million of cash on hand.
Earnings per share of $0.77 in 2002 increased from earnings per share from
continuing operations of $0.21 in 2001. Earnings per share from continuing
operations in 2001 were impacted by asset impairment, restructuring and
other charges totaling $0.48 per share, while non-cash pension income
contributed $0.04 and $0.18 to earnings per share in 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Cash from operating activities from continuing operations in
2002 was greater than in 2000 and 2001 combined, and free cash flow(1) in
2002 was a positive $59 million. 

Since our November 1999 spin-off, we have undertaken a number of

strategic steps to transform the company into an enterprise focused on
electronics, instruments and systems engineering. In 2000, we sold the
aerospace castings business. In 2001, we restructured the company by taking
major headcount reductions and creating a flatter management structure. In
addition, we sold or closed seven underperforming product lines. In 2001, all
electronic instrumentation businesses were consolidated under common
management, and our energy technologies business was separated from the
Systems Engineering Solutions segment. In 2001, we acquired our first
electronic instrumentation company, Advanced Pollution Instrumentation
(API), and in 2002 we acquired Monitor Labs, which, like API, is focused on
the environmental instrumentation market.

These actions resulted in improved financial performance of our Electronics

and Communications and Systems Engineering Solutions segments in 2002.
Despite the weakness in the commercial aviation, semiconductor and

telecommunications markets, our Electronics and Communications sales grew,
and operating profit increased significantly. Operating margin in the Systems
Engineering Solutions segment, driven by large award fees in some of our key
government programs, was at the highest level since our spin-off. 

Growth in Defense Electronics and Commercial Instruments
In 2002, we continued to grow our defense electronics businesses. Orders
increased for microelectronic modules used in military aviation and secure
communication applications. In addition to increased sales of microelectronic
modules for the F-22 and Comanche programs, we received orders for the
development of similar modules for the Joint Strike Fighter. We have outgrown
capacity at our current military traveling wave tube facility in Rancho
Cordova, California, due to increased volume, and plan to spend
approximately $6 million in 2003 to expand that company-owned facility.
This will upgrade our manufacturing capacity with the latest test equipment
and eliminate leased space. Occasionally, we are able to expand into defense
markets by leveraging technology from our commercial electronics products. In
2002, we expanded our Geophysical Instruments product line, originally
developed for offshore oil and gas exploration, for new military applications
such as antisubmarine monitoring.

The acquisitions of Advanced Pollution Instrumentation and Monitor Labs

nearly doubled the size of our total instrumentation businesses and expanded
our access to the environmental monitoring and pollution control market.
Growth in our industrial instrumentation businesses, both organically and
through acquisition, continues to be a key strategic focus in 2003. Sales to
medical customers increased substantially in 2002, driven by significantly
higher sales of medical electronics manufacturing services. Given the long-term
growth prospects for medical instrumentation, we continue to look for ways to
expand our presence in these markets.

Consistent Strength in Systems Engineering 
Following restructuring in 2001, our Systems Engineering Solutions segment
entered 2002 as a more focused government services business, better able to
leverage its core competencies in systems engineering and software
development. During 2002 we enhanced our position in a number of our
long-term government relationships, while also expanding into new markets. 
With receipt of a contract award in early 2002, Teledyne entered its 41st

year of uninterrupted service to the nation’s space and missile defense
programs, providing a broad array of technical assistance including expertise
related to missiles, optical and radar sensors, targets, command
communications, and systems integration. 

In the missile defense market, we also participate as a subcontractor to The

Boeing Company in the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) missile
defense program. In 2002, Teledyne personnel served as the Flight Test

Manager of two of three Integrated Flight Tests in the company’s continuing
support of the GMD Program. We were also selected as a strategic
subcontractor to Orbital Sciences Corporation to perform work on alternate
ground-based boost vehicles for the GMD program. While funding for the
overall GMD program will be lower in 2003 than 2002, given current national
priorities and the intent to begin deployment of a national missile defense
network, we are excited about the long-term possibilities for our core
capabilities in missile defense systems engineering and test services.

For nearly 50 years, Teledyne has supported almost every major NASA
aerospace initiative, from the Apollo moon exploration, through Space Shuttle
scientific payloads, to the International Space Station. In June of 2002, NASA
selected Teledyne as the single prime contractor for the design, development,
operation, and support of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Centers’ future
Microgravity Science payloads for the International Space Station. The
maximum contract value for this program could approach one-half billion
dollars over a ten-year period. 

The Systems Engineering Solutions segment diversified its customer base in

2002 with new contract awards from the U.S. Air Force, the Federal Aviation
Administration and the U.S. Coast Guard. 

Our Response to Weakness in Commercial Aviation
The market for commercial avionics in 2002 was difficult. Sales of new and
replacement products were impacted by the weak performance of domestic
airlines, as well as reduced deliveries of new air transport and business aircraft.
Although our sales of commercial avionics products decreased approximately
20%, Teledyne succeeded in gaining market share in existing commercial
product lines, while expanding into new defense markets.

Teledyne’s market share of data acquisition systems on new Airbus A320
and A330/340 aircraft is currently expected to continue to increase from under
10% in the year 2000, to 30% in 2003, and up to 50% in 2005. In addition,
we recently formed a strategic alliance with Airbus to jointly develop and
market the next generation flight data analysis software to be sold under the
brand name AirFASE.

Ryan Air, the fastest growing airline in Europe, has designated Teledyne as
its sole source data acquisition system supplier, and is currently working with
us to add our latest Wireless GroundLinkTM products and Ground Data
Analysis software to its aircraft. As a result, Teledyne will be providing an end-
to-end Flight Data Services capability.

Teledyne’s historically commercial-only avionics business has expanded into

new military markets. The company was recently awarded a contract for its
Communications Management Unit software for use on the U.S. Air Force’s
C-130 Avionics Modernization Program, as well as for potential new Boeing
767 Tanker Transport aircraft. Over the last 18 months, we have been selected

to supply products for use on four separate military aircraft platforms: the 
C-17, the P-3, the C-130 and the new B-767 Tanker Transport.

By introducing the latest technological developments, such as digital

electronic engine controls, and maintaining its relationships with key
customers, Teledyne was also able to increase market share in the general
aviation marketplace. Although a weak economy and rising pilot insurance
costs resulted in a 13% decline in the delivery of new piston-powered general
aviation aircraft in 2002, sales of Teledyne Continental Motors’ engines for
OEM aircraft increased over 20% during the same period. By focusing on
customers such as Cirrus Design, whose aircraft are powered exclusively by
Teledyne engines, sales of Continental Motors engines for new OEM piston
engine aircraft increased for the sixth consecutive year.

Our Board of Directors
All members of your Board of Directors, excluding me, are independent
directors. Each of your directors, including me, is committed to the highest
standards of corporate and financial integrity.  In 2002, we were pleased that
Charles H. Noski, former vice chairman of AT&T, joined the Board of
Directors. Chuck is widely respected and recognized as one of America’s finest
executives with an excellent reputation in the investment and business
communities. We are also pleased that Charles J. Queenan, Jr. has agreed to
serve another year to provide guidance and assistance to support compliance
with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Looking Ahead
It is likely that the economic challenges we faced in 2002 will continue in
2003. However, our balanced mix of commercial and government businesses
and our focus on operational excellence should provide opportunities for
continued improvement and organic growth this year. Furthermore, our strong
balance sheet gives us flexibility to pursue further synergistic acquisitions in
our strategic businesses. 

Finally, I want to recognize all of Teledyne’s employees for their outstanding

efforts to improve the performance of our businesses over the past year.
Moreover, our management team is committed to excellence in all that it does
for our company’s stockholders, including adhering to the highest standards of
ethics and accurate financial reporting.

ELECTRONICS AND
COMMUNICATIONS SEGMENT

Ejection seat sequencers protect pilots’ lives

on U.S. Navy, Marine and Air Force aircraft.

Sales in the Electronics and Communications segment increased 4.9 percent in 2002
compared to 2001, as gains in instruments, military and medical product sales were
partially offset by continued weakness in the semiconductor, telecommunications and
commercial aerospace areas. Operating profit increased as a result of the company’s
continued focus on cost management and operational excellence.

Cost Reduction and Operational Excellence
Business units within the Electronics and
Communications segment have been
developing an Operational Excellence
initiative that is focused on reducing
manufacturing cycle times and eliminating
scrap and rework costs. Several of these
units have adopted lean manufacturing
techniques and have revised factory layouts
to provide more efficient work cells and
work flow. The increase in operating
earnings for this segment is testimony to
the effectiveness of this initiative.

Defense Electronics
The defense and military fields have
remained among the most important
markets for Teledyne microelectronic
components and systems. Demand for
various microelectronic components on the
U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor aircraft have
remained strong, especially for the fiber
optic transmitter/receiver modules used in
the aircraft’s communications and control
systems, as well as for solid-state relays and
power controllers. Teledyne was also
selected to provide fiber optic and other
microelectronic modules for the new Joint
Strike Fighter aircraft now being
developed. Production of secure
communications modules and printed
circuit card assemblies for the Enhanced
Position Location Reporting System, a
modern U.S. Army battlefield
communication system, also increased
during the year.

Orders for military traveling wave
tube (TWT) spares and repairs remained
steady throughout the year. In addition,
Teledyne delivered its first products for
several significant radar and electronic
countermeasure upgrade programs.
Teledyne TWTs have enabled the U.S.
Army to modularize the transmitters used
in the Firefinder and Sentinel battlefield
radars to improve performance and
reliability. Having completed production of
TWTs for the first major upgrade in 20

years of the U.S. Navy AN/ALQ-99
standoff jammer, Teledyne qualified and
began production during 2002 of TWTs
for a second major upgrade of this system.
After a slow start in the first quarter,
defense orders for rigid-flex printed circuit
boards increased ahead of 2001, primarily
for radar and missile applications. The
company’s new VME-FlexTM products have
been designed into two major defense
programs, and production on one of these
will begin in 2003.

Teledyne’s new fourth generation
aircraft ejection seat sequencer is now
operationally deployed in the F/A-18 E-F
aircraft, and an even newer generation
sequencer for the Joint Strike Fighter
aircraft is under development. The
majority of the orders in a new buy of
ACES II sequencers for the U.S. Air Force
were also won by Teledyne. During the last
16 years, Teledyne has delivered nearly
7000 ACES units.

In some cases, technology originally

developed for commercial markets is being
adapted for defense applications. For
example, Teledyne’s hydrophone sensors
and streamer cables developed for seismic
exploration for offshore oil deposits (see
Instrument’s feature article) are now
finding application in military markets,
where they are used for the detection of
submarines and torpedoes.

Other examples of the use of
commercial technology for defense
applications include two programs that
have been won by Teledyne Controls. As
previously reported, the company’s Optical
Quick Access Recorder, originally developed
for aircraft condition monitoring systems
on commercial airliners, has been chosen
for use on the C-17 Globemaster III, the
most modern and sophisticated military
transport aircraft in the world. The
company was also awarded a subcontract
under a U.S. Air Force program to embed
its Communication Management Unit
software into aircraft Flight Management

Systems for the C-130 Transport and 
B-767 Tanker aircraft. These systems are
expected to be deployed in over 550 C-130
Transport and 100 B-767 Tanker aircraft
over the next several years.

Commercial Aerospace
The commercial air transport market
remained weak throughout 2002, as
airline companies experienced significant
losses, and Boeing, Airbus and
manufacturers of business aircraft reduced
production. While these market
conditions have had a negative impact on
the company’s avionic products, with sales
down approximately 20 percent compared
to 2001, Teledyne has continued to gain
market share and introduce new products
that offer competitive advantages.

The company’s data management
systems have been certified across both
the Airbus Single Aisle and Long Range
(A340-500/600) and the basic A330/340
aircraft families. Teledyne’s market share
on Airbus aircraft has now increased
from 5 percent to 20 percent. This
growth is expected to continue. A
strategic alliance agreement has been
concluded with Airbus to jointly develop
and market the next generation flight
data analysis software to be sold under
the brand name AirFASE.

In other commercial aircraft
activities, Ryan Air, the fastest growing
airline in Europe, selected Teledyne to
provide Data Acquisition systems for its
aircraft and is working with Teledyne to
add turnkey flight data services, which
will include Wireless GroundLink®, and
Ground Data Analysis software. Teledyne’s
new SmartCabin OfficeTM system that
provides high speed data communications
via satellite link for business travelers was
also introduced and delivered on multiple
business aircraft types during the year.
Teledyne has also partnered with
Delta Airlines to support trials of the
Controller Pilot Data Link Program at the

Telecommunications and 
Semiconductor Manufacturing
Orders for relays used in wireless
applications and in semiconductor test
equipment remained weak throughout
2002. Despite the downturn, the company
introduced new RF relays and modernized
its relay manufacturing facilities in
California and Mexico to meet anticipated
future needs. Demand for mass flow
controllers and vacuum gauges used in
semiconductor manufacturing equipment
was also soft throughout the year.

In the cellular communications
market, however, demand for Teledyne’s
broadband wireless transceivers, used to
link base stations and cell sites in cellular
communications systems, has remained
steady, with activity primarily in the
European and Asian markets. The
company’s line of products for this field
was expanded with the introduction of
transceivers covering new frequency bands,
which will broaden market opportunities
in this arena.

Process Control and Energy Production
Sales for gas analysis instruments, flow
controllers and vacuum gauges used in
process control and environmental
applications remained steady in 2002, and
Monitor Labs was acquired to complement
our existing industrial and environmental
instrument lines.

Sales of hydrophone streamer cables

used in seismic surveys in offshore oil
exploration were also strong in 2002, both
for Teledyne-branded products and for
custom-manufactured cables provided for
OEM customers.

Medical Electronics
Sales of printed circuit card assemblies and
electronic modules for medical instruments
increased significantly in 2002. These
products are used in medical
instrumentation such as magnetic
resonance imaging and x-ray systems, as

Teledyne manufactures custom

electronic modules and circuit

card assemblies for applications

ranging from military

communications to medical

devices and instrumentation.

require specialized technology and the
ability to develop customized solutions for
unique customer needs. Many of the
Electronics and Communications product
lines serve regulated industries where
manufacturers must not only supply high
quality products, but must also have the
capability and experience to ensure that the
products and documentation conform to
various U.S. Government agency
regulatory requirements. The
environmental monitoring instruments,
systems and software described in the
feature section of this report are good
examples. These products must provide
high sensitivities to detect low levels of
gases that affect air quality, must operate
reliably on a continuous basis, and must be
qualified in accordance with the
requirements of regulatory agencies such as
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Other business units in this segment serve
similar specialized niches that are subject to
the requirements of agencies such as the
Department of Defense, Food and Drug
Administration, Federal Aviation
Administration and the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission. Teledyne has the
technical expertise and in-depth experience
needed to meet these varied requirements.

well as in implantable devices for cardiac,
hearing, and neural stimulation
applications. Certain of the company’s key
customers have requested the manufacture
of additional complex electronic assemblies
for a variety of diagnostic systems.
Teledyne’s manufacturing capacity for these
types of medical assemblies was expanded
during the year at one of the company’s
facilities in Tijuana, Mexico in response to
increased customer demand.

New orders for custom micro-
electronic modules increased in late 2002
as the company’s largest implantable
medical device customer began to
outsource procurement of additional
modules used in cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators. This was offset somewhat by
lower sales of modules used in another
device where a customer’s products
experienced reduced demand.

Focus on Niche Markets
The business units in Teledyne’s Electronics
and Communications segment provide a
variety of products that serve a broad range
of industries. This diversity provides a
buffer against deep cycles that can occur in
certain market segments. Despite the
diversity, however, these business units
share many common characteristics.
Teledyne focuses on niche markets that

Teledyne Brown Engineering’s
Technologies Group is a full service defense
contractor supporting the U.S. Army
Aviation and Missile Command
(AMCOM), the U.S. Army Space and
Missile Defense Command (SMDC), and
the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), as
well as major prime contractors in this
field. This group plays significant roles in
diverse national missile defense areas
ranging from targets and countermeasures,
systems engineering, modeling and
simulation, to test and evaluation, and
many other related areas.

During the year, our Technologies
Group participated in three significant
Integrated Flight Tests in its continuing
support of the Ground-based Midcourse
Defense (GMD) Program. The company’s
Shipboard Theater Air and Missile Defense
Exercise Controller software was also
chosen by the U.S. Navy to train
individual ships and entire battle groups in
the detection, tracking and simulated
engagement of ballistic missiles.
The company continued its
involvement in the concept definition,
design and production of tactical missile
programs. One of these is the Army’s 

The Extended Air Defense

Teledyne Brown developed and

maintains for the Missile Defense

Agency and the U.S. Army's Space

and Missile Defense Command

provides analysis, training, testing

and operational planning support

in modeling air, space, and

missile warfare.

Loitering Attack Missile-Aviation (LAM-A)
program, which involves a unique lock-on-
after-launch loitering missile concept.
Teledyne Brown is supporting the prime
contractor, Raytheon Company, for this
potentially major Army program.

The 43rd version of Teledyne Brown’s
Extended Air Defense Simulation program
(EADSIM) was released in 2002. First
introduced in 1989, this highly regarded
software provides complex multi-force
simulations of air, missile and space
warfare. It is used by almost 400 agencies
in ten foreign countries for defense
analysis, training and operational planning.
The Technologies Group continues to

work closely with the MDA in the
development of the Hardware-in-the-Loop
test tool for the Ballistic Missile Defense
System. This tool will be used by MDA
and major contractors in developing and

supports major Department of
Defense customers such as the Missile
Defense Agency, the Army’s Space and
Missile Defense Command, the
Aviation and Missile Command and
related defense agencies. In operation
less than three years, the company has
already received the Alabama Quality
Award, Level 1, an award to
organizations that have made a serious
commitment to performance
excellence concepts and principles.
In February 2002, Teledyne
Solutions was awarded a multi-million
dollar contract by the Army’s Space and
Missile Defense Command (SMDC)
for Systems Engineering and Technical
Assistance in disciplines related to
missiles, optical and radar sensors,
targets, command communications,

provides real-time weather and other data
for pilots and FAA controllers.

As a strategic subcontractor on the
U.S. Coast Guard’s Deepwater program,
the company will provide verification,
validation and accreditation services for the
simulation software used in test and
evaluation. This 30-year program, the
largest in Coast Guard history, will
upgrade the service with new ships,
aircraft, command and control systems,
communications and logistics.

Software development has always been

a key strength in Teledyne Brown’s
capabilities. A major milestone was
achieved in this area in 2002 when the
company was awarded Capability Maturity
Model (CMM) Level 3 certification from
the Software Engineering Institute. This
model provides a framework that describes
key elements in an efficient software
process, and covers practices for planning,
engineering, and managing software
development and maintenance. The
company is currently working toward the
goal of achieving CMM Level 4 in 2003.

AEROSPACE

Systems Group
Teledyne Brown’s Systems Group is
responsible for managing the company’s role
in the aerospace industry, which remains a
primary company focus after almost 50
years’ participation in the country’s most
significant space exploration programs.

In June, Teledyne Brown Engineering

was selected by NASA as the prime
contractor for its Microgravity Systems

six year Non-Stockpile Systems Contract II
which was awarded in 2001. Work is also
being concluded under the earlier NSSC-I
contract received in 1995. Involved is the
design and fabrication of chemical
processing systems to treat and dispose of
chemical warfare materiel at the Army’s
Pine Bluff, Arkansas facility. 

Operational testing of the Rapid
Response System (RRS) for the Army was
completed. A follow-on contract of 
$7.2 million was awarded to modify and
maintain the system and its technicians for
readiness to respond throughout the U.S.
on short notice. A $1.5 million contract
(with a $1 million option) to provide
logistics support for Explosive Destruction
Systems was also awarded.

Teledyne Brown is a strategic

subcontractor on a Department of Energy
contract potentially valued at more than
$10 million. Teledyne Brown’s role will be
to provide program management, technical
assistance, and administrative services to
the DOE facility at Grand Junction,
Colorado. Teledyne will staff, operate and
maintain the analytical laboratory there
under a five-year contract.

Environmental Systems has broadened

its technological base to provide solutions
to a wide range of problems encountered
in managing and operating government
facilities, handling and disposing of
hazardous wastes and removing threats to
public safety. The company’s exceptional
strengths in engineering, manufacturing
and laboratories will serve as a base for
further growth in the environmental arena
both domestically and internationally.

Environmental
Systems
The Environmental
Systems unit of the
Systems Group was
successful in
winning several
contracts in 2002 in
an extremely
competitive market.
After a rigorous five-
day audit in March,
Teledyne Brown was
awarded a three-year
extension of its
Certificate of

Authorization, called an N-stamp, by the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers. This certification is critical to
performing work in the nuclear power
industry, and was instrumental in winning
a major contract for building nuclear
waste containers, as well as qualifying the
company for future work on spent nuclear
fuel and other nuclear site opportunities.
Teledyne Brown was also certified

through the Department of Energy’s
Environmental Management Consolidated
Audit Program (EMCAP), enabling our
Radiological Analysis Services Laboratory
in Knoxville, Tennessee to perform
radiological analytical services for all DOE
sites. The laboratory also received
certification from the National
Environmental Laboratory Accreditation
Program (NELAP) in 13 states, including
Utah. About 80 percent of Teledyne
Brown’s clients require Nuclear Utilities
Procurement Issues Certification
(NUPIC), and the lab has also passed this
intensive audit, giving it authority to serve
the commercial utility community, which
has been a significant part of our customer
base for over 30 years.

Continuing support is being provided

to the U.S. Army Program Manager for
Chemical Demilitarization under the 

1.5 million man-hours without a lost time
accident on this contract.

Specialty manufacturing is another of

Teledyne Brown’s unique capabilities. In
2002, the company delivered flight-
qualified hardware items valued at more
than $11 million to Boeing for use on its
Cargo Integration contract for the
International Space Station. Additional
orders are expected. Teledyne Brown is also
pursuing several other key hardware-related
opportunities in 2003 including payload
carrier and development hardware for the
ISS, ground support systems for NASA,
military hardware systems, and space-
qualified satellite hardware.

In the Homeland Security arena, the

company is offering its WaterSabreTM
mobile fluid-jet access system to police
departments and other first responders on
a nationwide basis. This remotely-
operated ultra-high-pressure water jet
cutting system will enable safer access to
suspected large-vehicle explosive devices
and reduce the risk of investigating and
neutralizing these devices.

TELEDYNE CONTINENTAL
MOTORS, INC.

Bryan L. Lewis
President

The Continental-powered Diamond C1

was selected to provide flight training to

U.S. Air Force Academy cadets.

The slow overall domestic economy in 2002 continued to adversely
affect the markets served by Teledyne Continental Motors. The
company continued to improve its lean operating methodologies to
achieve further cost control during the year and also continued to
pursue the development of products with enhanced value for its
customers in order to grow market share.

Other new aircraft installations
powered by Teledyne Continental engines
have continued to move toward FAA
certification, though the process has been
somewhat slowed by general market
conditions. Certification and production
of the Lancair Columbia 300, the all-
electric Columbia 350, and the
turbocharged Columbia 400 aircraft, for
example, were suspended in mid-2002
due to customer start-up funding issues.
However, Lancair has now successfully
resolved these funding issues and is
returning to normal operations.

The new two-seat Liberty aircraft,
powered by Continental’s electronically
controlled IOF240 engine, has continued
successful flight testing and is now
scheduled to receive formal FAA
certification this year. The Liberty XL-2 is
expected to become the first fielded
application of the company’s Aerosance
PowerlinkTM FADEC (Full Authority
Digital Electronic Engine Control). The
two engine Adam aircraft, which is also
planned to be PowerLink controlled, began
flight testing in 2002 and has
demonstrated impressive performance.

Once again, Teledyne contributed to
aviation history in 2002, when one of its
engines powered the modified Columbia
300 aircraft piloted by Eric Lindbergh in
his recreation of his grandfather’s historic
transatlantic flight. The IO550 powered
Columbia made the 3263 nautical mile
flight in only 17 hours and 10 minutes,
consuming only 211 gallons of fuel.
Shortly after that flight, Teledyne
Continental Motors flight test personnel
flew a FADEC powered all electric
Columbia 350 demonstrator aircraft from
Bend, Oregon to Lakeland, Florida, then
to New York and returned to Bend as part
of the company’s PowerLink FADEC flight
demonstration program.

New Aircraft Installations
Delivery of new Continental engines for
advanced aircraft grew 22 percent in 2002
in spite of a nearly 13 percent global
decline in the delivery of new light general
aviation aircraft by airframe manufacturers.
This is the result of Teledyne Continental
engines being chosen for many of the new
composite light aircraft now being
introduced. The Cirrus Design SR20 and
SR22 aircraft, for example, powered
exclusively by Continental engines, have
gained in popularity and finished the year
with a 30% market share of new aircraft
deliveries in the second half of 2002.
Although relatively new to the market, the
Cirrus and other composite aircraft
powered by Continental engines have
gained high visibility both domestically
and internationally.

In 2002, the U.S. Air Force Academy

selected the Continental-powered
Diamond C1 aircraft as its primary flight
trainer. Delivery of the first of 35 aircraft
began in September 2002 and will be
concluded in May of this year. Powered by
Continental’s 125 horsepower IO240-B
engine, the C1 aircraft is gaining a
worldwide reputation for reliability as a
two-seat trainer aircraft, as well as an
owner flown aircraft.

PowerLink FADECTM
Teledyne Continental Motors continued its
flight testing and installations development
program of the PowerLink FADEC
product in 2002, leading up to the formal
launch of the new product at the Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association convention
in October. However, due in large part to
delays in airframe manufacturer
installations, production deliveries have not
yet been realized. The company still
expects the PowerLink FADEC system to
be installed as standard equipment, or as
optional equipment, on the Liberty XL-2,
the Diamond C1, the Cirrus SR22,
Lancair 350 and 400, and the Adam 4000
twin engine aircraft.

In addition to the introduction of the

PowerLink FADEC on new certified
aircraft, the system was given a
Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) by
the FAA in September for installation on
a number of existing Beech Bonanza
aircraft. Additional aftermarket STC
installations for other existing fleet aircraft
are also in progress.

In a significant test of the system,
carried out in 2002, the ability of the
PowerLink system to operate existing fleet
engines on premium automotive fuels was
demonstrated. These test results
demonstrated the possibility that many
piston aircraft engines may be able to
operate on nonleaded fuels at some point
in the future.

Advanced Manufacturing 
Cell for Small Turbine Engines
Full operational status was achieved in
2002 by the company’s new Advanced
Manufacturing Cell in Mobile, Alabama.
This facility produces components for the
small Teledyne turbine engines that power
the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile
(JASSM) and Harpoon tactical missiles.
Designed to help meet the demand for low
cost engines for precision strike weapons,
the Advanced Manufacturing Cell has

was signed to install this system on the
popular Bombardier CRJ series aircraft.
Other advances in battery reliability

and power density have been achieved
through the company’s continuing
program of product development and lean
manufacturing process improvements. The
effectiveness of these programs is attested
to by the fact that Gill’s warranties are now
less than 1 percent of sales, a noteworthy
achievement in battery manufacture. These
and other quality initiatives now also
permit same day shipment of orders with
40 percent smaller inventories.

Further development of the Gill
‘smart’ lead acid battery product as an
alternative to NiCad technology, and
continued development of alternate
engineering and manufacturing techniques
will be pursued in 2003 to assure that Gill
Aircraft Batteries remain the premium
product for that market.

Pursuing Manufacturing Excellence
In 2002, the company’s manufacturing
excellence program achieved impressive
cost reductions without compromising
product quality. These results have spanned
the Teledyne Continental Motors product
lines from general aviation piston engines
and engine control systems to military and
defense related small turbine engines, and
aviation battery products. With capital
upgrades to facilities completed in 2002,
further cost reductions are still achievable
in overall manufacturing operations
through the implementation of six-sigma
quality management systems.

demonstrated component manufacturing
cycle times that are at or below the targets
for full production, even in the low rate
phase of initial production. The new cell
will also produce selected components for
the company’s J69 spare parts supply. 

During the year, the Teledyne J402
engine continued to perform well in flight
tests of the Lockheed Martin JASSM
missile. Fourteen production prove-out
units for the Advanced Manufacturing Cell
were completed, and low rate initial
production of the first 76 units has begun.
This state-of-the-art manufacturing
capability positions the company to meet
the challenging cost targets inherent in
programs of this nature, and to take
advantage of the growing interest in small
unmanned air vehicles for military and
homeland defense applications.

Battery Product Developments
Teledyne has continued to expand the
number of aircraft installations for its well-
known GillTM brand aircraft batteries
through the development of new FAA
Supplemental Type Certificates, and Parts
Manufacturer Approvals for the business
jet and helicopter segments of the industry.
Part of this effort has been the introduction
of a new generation of Sealed
Recombinant Technology batteries that
provide a lower maintenance battery
installation. This advanced line was
successfully launched in 2002 for the
popular Bell 206 helicopter and Beech
400A, and various Raytheon, Cessna, Piper
and Aerostar aircraft.

In a joint effort with Teledyne
Controls, the company has also developed
an onboard charging and cockpit display
kit that permits existing NiCad battery
systems to be replaced with Gill valve
regulated lead acid batteries. This ‘smart’
battery technology can provide overall life
cycle cost savings for aircraft fleet
operators. During the year an agreement

Following the combination of Teledyne Brown Engineering’s Energy Systems business unit
with assets and intellectual properties of Energy Partners, Inc., Teledyne Energy Systems
completed its first full year of operation in 2002 with consistent performance in its government
contracting and hydrogen generator activities. This was offset by the higher costs of phasing
out poor performing products. During the year research and development efforts were
increased, resulting in advancements in hydrogen generator, fuel cell system, and fuel cell
test station product lines.

company’s product offerings were further
expanded with the introduction of the
Teledyne TitanTM H2Oasis Hydrogen
Generator, the Teledyne MedusaTM LS Fuel
Cell Test Station, and the Teledyne FTU2
Fuel Cell Generator demonstrator.

Advanced Power 
Systems and Thermoelectrics
Teledyne Energy Systems’ oldest product
line, Advanced Power Systems, utilizes the
company’s expertise in thermoelectric
materials and systems, proton exchange
membrane (PEM) fuel cells, and Stirling
Engine systems to provide custom power
generators for a variety of commercial and
government applications. Teledyne’s
thermoelectric generators are used by
diverse customers ranging from NASA to
major oil and gas pipeline operators who
use them to supply power in remote,
extreme environments where high
reliability is expected. Long experience in
this area has enabled the company to
develop a number of fuel cell and Stirling

Teledyne Energy Systems has a rich history
of developing and manufacturing high
reliability power systems and electrolytic
hydrogen and oxygen generators. This
experience is used in applications ranging
from industrial processes to fuel cell
development, and to provide power for
remote, unattended installations such as
gas pipeline monitoring stations, and
manned and unmanned space programs.
Many of Teledyne Energy Systems’

products are designed to operate in
virtually any location, often under extreme
conditions, with a minimum of human
intervention. A milestone that is an
example of this was recently achieved by
the Teledyne thermoelectric power source
aboard the Pioneer 10 spacecraft which
was launched in 1972. Now 7.6 billion
miles from earth, traveling at 27,000 miles
per hour, this 31 year old system is still
operating, with the latest successful radio
contact made on January 22, 2003. The
company is applying this same
commitment to advanced design and high
reliability in its newest product lines of fuel
cells, fuel cell test equipment, and Stirling
Engine electrical power generating systems.
Another milestone achieved in 2002 was
the sale of the 455th TitanTM Hydrogen

F

or over half a century, Teledyne
Analytical Instruments has been
a leading innovator and producer
of instruments for detecting and

precisely measuring various chemical
compounds at concentration levels down
to trace amounts, measured in parts per
million and even parts per billion. This
capability is vital in many industrial
processes in the chemical and
petrochemical industries, in oil and
natural gas refining, in the cryogenic
separation of air into its constituent gases,
in the production of pharmaceuticals, in

other substances in extremely low
concentrations. These instruments must
provide laboratory-quality precision in
rugged, reliable on-line devices, often in
harsh and hazardous environments.

Industrial process control is a major
market for the company’s products, with
the air separation and petrochemical
industries forming a large part of that
business. The purity of gases produced by
cryogenic gas manufacturers is vital in
ensuring the high quality of products
ranging from steel to semiconductors, in
food and beverage product preservation,
in hospital/medical-grade gases, and in
many other diverse applications. In the
hydrocarbon processing industry, the
company’s instrumentation is involved
from the point at which crude oil is
drawn from the earth to the ultimate
processing of various polymers needed to
manufacture a wide variety of plastics
used in everyday life. Literally hundreds
of industrial processes and products
require precise monitoring and control of
the purity of the materials used, in order
to assure product quality, process

monitoring system

for trace oxygen

detection in

petrochemical

industry.

Many different technologies are used
in detecting and measuring various gases.
One of Teledyne Analytical Instruments’
best known products is the Micro-Fuel
Cell, an electrochemical sensor specific to
oxygen. It is a galvanic sensor that acts as
a battery and generates an electrical
output signal that is linear from 0 to 100
percent in the presence of oxygen. Other
sensors include a newly patented, high
sensitivity bi-potentiostat-driven parts-
per-billion oxygen sensor powered by a
precisely controlled electrical voltage. It
permits an electrical current to flow
when undesirable oxygen impurities are
present in the ultra-high-purity bulk
gases used in semiconductor
manufacture. Photometric detectors,
based on the principle that various
chemical compounds absorb specific
wavelengths of light, including those in
the ultraviolet and infrared regions, are
used for both gas and liquid phase
analysis. Still other techniques are based
on detecting the thermal conductivity of
a gas, typically for hydrogen analysis, and
flame ionization sensors for detecting
trace amounts of hydrocarbons.

Over the years, Teledyne Analytical

Instruments has acquired a deep
understanding of the physics of
measuring specific chemical compounds,
and expertise in developing sensors for
continuously detecting them. Based on
the wealth of detection technologies at its
disposal, the company can provide over a
hundred different analyzer configurations
to meet the needs of virtually every
industrial application. This product range
is routinely extended by developing
turnkey system solutions tailored to a
customer’s exact needs. The expertise and
flexibility to design and manufacture
proven, cost-effective sample
preconditioning systems, as well as the
ability to combine multiple analyzers in a
single package, is a core competency of
Teledyne Analytical Instruments that
effectively differentiates the company
from many of its competitors.

In order to deal efficiently with the
many configurations possible with these
sensors to meet customer needs, the
company has developed a feature-rich
analyzer platform that can interface
with these various sensor technologies
in order to achieve economies of scale
where circuit boards, power supplies,
and instrument housings are
concerned. The net result has been
streamlined production, quicker
delivery and ease of servicing. With the
addition of some limited hardware, this
platform can be made Ethernet-ready,
allowing users to remotely access the
analyzers via the Internet.

A substantial part of the market for

these instrumentation products is
overseas. Teledyne Analytical Instruments
is well positioned to serve this market
with more than 45 well-trained

international distributors, and a total of
over 70 sales outlets. The addition of the
two new instrument companies to
Teledyne will further enhance the
company’s international market position.

Teledyne Hastings Instruments

T

eledyne Hastings is another
veteran Teledyne company.

Throughout its history, the company
has been a leader in developing advanced
methods of precise vacuum measurement.
One of its most versatile and innovative
instruments is the wide range Model
2002® Dual Vacuum Sensor which
provides measurements from above
atmospheric pressure to a vacuum of 
10-4 Torr, which is at the upper end of the
high vacuum range, all in a single, small
rugged package. At that vacuum level the
number of gas molecules present in a
given volume is only approximately one
ten millionth of the number found in an
equivalent volume of ambient air. Many
metallurgical processes such as melting,

casting, sintering, heat treating and
brazing benefit if done under this
vacuum level. Chemical processes such as
vacuum distillation and freeze drying also
need this level of vacuum. Freeze drying
is used extensively in the pharmaceutical
industry in the preparation of vaccines
and antibiotics, and in the storage of
tissue samples and blood plasma, and the
food industry uses
freeze drying to
prepare many
products.

The Model 2002® Dual Vacuum
Sensor led to the naming of Teledyne
Hastings Instruments by the editors of
Research and Development magazine, as
the developer of one of the most
significant new technologies worldwide,
in its prestigious R&D 100 listing for
1999. The Model 2002® is considered a
breakthrough in its field not only for its
small size, but for its wide sensing range,
durability and cost effectiveness in a wide
range of applications. This award is the
second R&D award for work in this
technology the company has received in a
four year period.

Teledyne Hastings Instruments’
second major area of expertise is in the
precise measurement and control of gas
flows, a capability that is vital in a great
variety of industrial and scientific
applications including research and
development activities, vapor deposition,
leak testing, gas blending, pollution
monitoring, medical research, gas
chromatography and semiconductor
production support services.

These measurements are made by

the company’s extensive line of
instruments that use thermal mass flow
sensors based on thermocouple
technology. Teledyne Hastings
Instruments has had more than 50 years’
experience in the development and
perfection of this technology. These
instruments have a very wide range of
flow capacities ranging from a few cubic
centimeters of gas per minute, up to
thousands of liters per minute, and are
available in both analog and digital
versions. The recently introduced 300
Series Metaline® meters and
controllers, using metal seals, accurately

measure gas flow

Teledyne Instruments, having had
relationships with our Analytical
Instruments and Hastings Instruments
businesses for a considerable time. This
close relationship and overlapping of
technologies, markets and customer bases
made Advanced Pollution
Instrumentation an ideal candidate for
our program of selective and focused
growth through acquisitions as well as
through organic growth.

This acquisition has greatly

expanded Teledyne’s activities in the air
pollution control market. Teledyne API
products are found in some of the largest
and most critical air quality networks in
the world. Networks in Mexico City,
Malaysia, Thailand, Santiago and
Shanghai are major users of Teledyne API
products. These products are used in
more than 50 countries worldwide, and
in every state in the U.S. Key markets for
future growth of these instruments are
overseas in areas such as Eastern Europe
and in China and other Asian countries
where air pollution is a problem and
efforts are being made to bring air quality
up to western standards. These
instruments are also provided under
private label to many other resellers
around the world.

API’s success in this competitive
international market is due to several
factors. One is the state-of-the-art
microprocessor technology used in the

design of these

instruments which

contributes to their
performance,
reliability and
ease of
operation

gases of power generation utilities, and
many other industrial processes that
involve combustion. This was one of the
original specializations of the company,
and has continued to be a growing
market area.

Another example is ozone

monitoring. While ozone is a pollutant in
ambient air, it is also an increasingly
important process gas used in many
applications, from municipal water and
waste water treatment to semiconductor
production. API has developed a family
of ozone monitors for use in these
applications as well.

There is a close relationship in
technologies, markets and customer bases
between API and the other Teledyne
instrumentation companies including

reporting requirements. With its more
than 30 year history, the company is a
leader in providing systems that meet
these regulatory demands. These products
use similar sensors to those produced by
Teledyne’s other instrumentation
companies, so once again there is a close
relationship in technologies.

Three major types of systems are
provided. ‘In situ’ systems are mounted
directly on the stack itself, and send data
to a ground-based recording system.
Other systems known as extractive
systems extract gases from the stack and
transfer them to ground based
monitoring systems. In one major type of
extractive system the gases are diluted
with instrument air at a ratio of about

Laser based particulate matter monitor.

100 to 1, and the measurements are
made on the resultant mixture. In other
extractive systems, where the pollutant
gases are in relatively minor
concentrations, such as the exhaust from
some gas fueled turbine generators, they
may be measured without dilution.

Teledyne Monitor Labs is also the

country’s largest supplier of opacity

measure the amount of particulate matter

for nearly 30 years, the company has
developed it to a high degree of
perfection. Its model 560 LightHawk®
Opacity/Dust Monitor is the latest state-
of-the-art version that provides precision
measurements with high reliability under
the hostile conditions of industrial
applications, assuring customers of years
of EPA-compliant performance.

Measuring flow and temperature of

the gases that pass through industrial
stacks is another measurement that must
be made to assure compliance with
emission standards, and this is another
area in which Monitor Labs is a leader.
The company’s Ultraflow 150 is a state-
of-the-art system with patented features
that offer customers incomparable
performance, accuracy, and flexibility.
Using ultrasonic technology with digital
signal processing, it is a non-contacting
system that avoids or mitigates many of
the maintenance problems that plague
other systems.

Teledyne Monitor Labs is unique in

that it provides complete turnkey

Teledyne Monitor Labs is a well-known
and respected supplier of this equipment
and is a top tier player in this market
with tens of thousands of systems already
installed and in operation.

At present, most of Teledyne

Monitor Labs customers are in the
United States, but there is a very large
market for these products overseas as
well, and an effort is being made to
penetrate this market with the help of
Advanced Pollution Instrumentation
and Teledyne Analytical Instruments,
which already serve the international
market and have excellent overseas
distribution networks.

Teledyne Geophysical Instruments

T

eledyne Geophysical Instruments
is one of the world’s leading
independent producers of
hydrostreamer systems used in
marine exploration for sub-sea-bottom
deposits of oil and natural gas. The
principle of marine seismic exploration
consists of initiating a series of sharp
acoustic impulses in the water and then
recording the faint individual echoes that
are reflected by the various geologic strata
beneath the sea bottom. From this
information, a model of the undersea
structure can be reconstructed for the

of finding oil or gas deposits in that area
can be deduced. In practice these surveys
are carried out by marine vessels capable
of towing 12 or more arrays of streamer
cables with a series of hydrophones

of the industry’s most reliable streamer
cable systems. There is a large
international market for these products,
and today many of the world’s finest
commercial seismic research vessels use
Teledyne’s products.

In addition to the design, production

and stringent testing of these systems
before delivery to the customer, Teledyne
Geophysical Instruments provides
worldwide service and repair from its
facilities in Houston, Texas, and
Gloucester, England, for its own
equipment and that of other companies.

Geophysical hydrophone.

The company also manufactures
hydrophones, towed arrays and other
equipment, to customer specification, for
other firms in the seismic survey business.
Since these companies often serve
markets that Teledyne does not, this
further expands the company’s market for
these products.

(essentially sensitive underwater
microphones) spaced along their length.
These cables may be as much as
10,000 meters long with more than
10,000 hydrophones. The impulses
sensed by these hydrophones are
recorded by data acquisition equipment
aboard the survey vessel for later analysis
and interpretation. By improving the
odds of finding hydrocarbon deposits at
a given location, these surveys greatly
reduce the financial risk incurred by
petroleum production companies in
offshore drilling ventures.

Marine seismic surveys are usually

carried out by independent survey
companies who sell this data to
petroleum production companies. In
earlier years, Teledyne was involved in
this business. Today, Geophysical
Instruments is focused on manufacturing
hydrophones and complete streamer
cables and arrays, as well as some
ancillary equipment, used by other survey
companies. For over thirty years these
Teledyne products have been the standard
of the industry. The company’s program
of manufacturing excellence, stringent

presently involved in developing and
supplying systems for torpedo detection
and countermeasure systems. Successful
sea trials of a Teledyne towed array system
took place earlier in the year, and the
company has accepted invitations to
participate in other similar towed array
projects, which will take advantage of its
expertise in design, engineering,
manufacturing and documentation of
these products.

operation of the system. In 1989 the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
mandated that these valves be monitored
and tested on a periodic basis.

Teledyne Test Services has a number
of patented products that are supplied to
the nuclear industry for this purpose, as
well as a proprietary data acquisition
system called QUIKLOOK for recording
and analyzing this information. Teledyne
Test Services’ personnel visit these nuclear
plants during scheduled plant outages
and perform tests on a percentage of the
safety-related valves during each visit. A
specialized strain gage called a Quick
Stem Sensor is bonded directly to the

These measurements are made using
strain gages, thin wafer-like devices
which, when bonded to a mechanical
part, can sense the stretching or other
deformation of the part down to a
millionth of an inch. They are also used
in specialized form for measuring torque.
The company makes a number of
different sensors using these devices, to
meet various measuring requirements.
One of the most important
applications, and largest part of the
company’s business, is providing 
nuclear valve testing service for the
nuclear power industry. Every nuclear
power plant has approximately 150

stem of the valve and measures torque
and thrust as the valve is actuated. The
company also offers the nuclear power
industry a program called an Integrated
Valve Team in which their valves are not
only tested but maintained as well.

Another major market for these
products and services is the automotive
industry. Each year automobile
manufacturers produce hundreds of test
vehicles in their development of new and

improved products. Teledyne Test
Services specializes in providing these
manufacturers with instruments for
measuring torque in their development
programs. The company has developed
special sensors for testing front wheel
drive and rear wheel drive systems, as well
as for use on the engine’s flex plate to
measure engine pulses or transmission
shift patterns.

Services for these applications are

unique in that an actual component
supplied by the manufacturer is
instrumented by Teledyne Test Services as
a torque sensor. The manufacturer can
then simply install the part ready for
testing. One interesting program for one
of the large automotive companies was
instrumenting a number of vehicles that
were then driven by customers for three
years. Information was downloaded every
two months and the company gained
important insights into the driving habits
of their customers and how this affected
the performance of their vehicles.

Teledyne Test Services has also
provided instrumentation to a major U.S.
motorcycle manufacturer for making
torque measurements on their products.
This technology is now being applied to
testing very large shafts as well, such as
those used for propulsion of ships, for
induced draft fans on power plants and
similar applications.

FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS  CAUTIONARY  NOTICE

This annual report contains forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, relating to earnings, cost-savings, growth opportunities,
capital expenditures, pension matters and strategic plans. Actual results could differ
materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors, including changes in
demand for products sold to the semiconductor, communications and commercial aviation
markets, timely development of acceptable and competitive fuel cell products and systems,
funding, continuation and award of government programs, receipt of (or failure to receive)
government award fees based on collective performance achievements of multiple
contractors, the terms of the Company’s renewal of its current products liability insurance
policy, continued liquidity of our customers (including commercial airline customers) and
economic and political conditions, could change the anticipated results.

United States’ and global responses to the Middle East conflict, terrorism and perceived
nuclear threats increase uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements about our
businesses. Various responses could realign government programs, and affect the
composition, funding or timing of our programs. As happened after the September 11th
terrorist attacks, reinstatement of flight restrictions would negatively impact the market for
general aviation aircraft piston engine and components. 

We are increasingly experiencing adverse effects of September 11th. The resulting
downturn in the stock market, exacerbated by public company accounting issues, has
negatively affected the value of the Company's pension assets. Absent improved market
conditions, the Company will be required to make a contribution to its pension plan in
2004. In addition, these events have had significant impacts on the insurance markets
greatly increasing insurance costs. Our existing aircraft product liability insurance policy
expires in May 2003 and our directors and officers policy expires in November 2003.

The Company continues to take action to assure compliance with the internal controls,
disclosure controls and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which
resulted from the corporate scandals. While the Company believes its control systems are
effective, there are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

While Teledyne Technologies’ growth strategy includes possible acquisitions, we cannot
provide any assurance as to when, if or on what terms any acquisitions will be made.
Acquisitions, including the recent acquisition of Monitor Labs Incorporated, involve
various inherent risks, such as, among others, our ability to integrate acquired businesses
and to achieve identified financial and operating synergies. Also, we may not be able to sell
timely or on acceptable terms our remaining non-core or under-performing product lines,
particularly given the current economic environment.

Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements is contained in Teledyne
Technologies’ periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its
2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company assumes no duty to update forward-
looking statements.
