PART I
The Registrant, Moog Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1951, is referred to in this report as “Moog” or in the nominative “we” or the possessive “our.”
Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires, all references to years in this report are to fiscal years.

Item 1. |  | Business.

Description of the Business. Moog is a worldwide designer, manufacturer and integrator of high performance precision motion and fluid controls and systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace and defense and industrial markets. We have five operating segments: Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls, Industrial Systems, Components and Medical Devices.
Additional information describing the business and comparative segment revenues, operating profits and related financial information for 2012, 2011 and 2010 are provided in Note 17 of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report.
Distribution. Our sales and marketing organization consists of individuals possessing highly specialized technical expertise. This expertise is required in order to effectively evaluate a customer’s precision control requirements and to facilitate communication between the customer and our engineering staff. Our sales staff is the primary contact with customers. Manufacturers’ representatives are used to cover certain domestic aerospace markets. Distributors are used selectively to cover certain industrial and medical markets.
Industry and Competitive Conditions. We experience considerable competition in our aerospace and defense and industrial markets. We believe that the principal points of competition in our markets are product quality, price, design and engineering capabilities, product development, conformity to customer specifications, timeliness of delivery, effectiveness of the distribution organization and quality of support after the sale. We believe we compete effectively on all of these bases. Competitors in our five operating segments include:

• | Aircraft Controls: Parker Hannifin, UTC (Goodrich, Hamilton Sundstrand), Liebherr, Nabtesco, Woodward Governor and Curtiss-Wright.

• | Space and Defense Controls: Honeywell, Parker Hannifin, Vacco, Valvetech, Marotta, SABCA, ESW, Aerojet, Snecma, Valcor, Aeroflex, UTC (Hamilton Sundstrand), Limitorque, Sargeant Industries, RVision, Directed Perception, ATA Engineering, CDA InterCorp, RUAG, Rockwell Collins, Woodward Governor, Sierra-Nevada, Vicon, Videotec and Lord Corp.

• | Industrial Systems: Bosch Rexroth, Danaher, Baumueller, Siemens, SSB, Parker Hannifin, Suzhou ReEnergy, MTS Systems Corp., Exlar and Hydraudyne.

• | Components: Danaher, Allied Motion, Ametek, Woodward MPC, Axsys, Schleifring, Airflyte, Smiths, Kearfott and Stemmann.

• | Medical Devices: B. Braun, CareFusion, Smiths Medical, Hospira, Alcon, Baxter International, CME, I-Flow, Covidien, Etalon, Introtek and Ross (Abbott).

Government Contracts. All U.S. Government contracts are subject to termination by the Government. In 2012, sales under U.S. Government contracts represented 30% of total sales and were primarily within Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls and Components.
Backlog. Substantially all backlog will be realized as sales in the next twelve months. See the discussion in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report.
Raw Materials. Materials, supplies and components are purchased from numerous suppliers. We believe the loss of any one supplier, although potentially disruptive in the short-term, would not materially affect our operations in the long-term.
Working Capital. See the discussion on operating cycle in Note 1 of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report.
Seasonality. Our business is generally not seasonal; however, certain markets, such as wind energy, do experience seasonal variations in sales levels.
5

Patents. We maintain a patent portfolio of issued or pending patents and patent applications worldwide that generally includes the U.S., Europe, China, Japan and India. The portfolio includes patents that relate to electrohydraulic, electromechanical, electronics, hydraulics, components and methods of operation and manufacture as related to motion control and actuation systems. The portfolio also includes patents related to wind turbines, robotics, surveillance/security, vibration control and medical devices. We do not consider any one or more of these patents or patent applications to be material in relation to our business as a whole. The patent portfolio related to certain medical devices is significant to our position in this market as several of these products work exclusively together, and provide us future revenue opportunities.
Research Activities. Research and development activity has been, and continues to be, significant for us. Research and development expense was at least $100 million in each of the last three years.
Employees. On September 29, 2012, we employed 10,976 full-time employees.
Customers. Our principal customers are Original Equipment Manufacturers, or OEMs, and end users for whom we provide aftermarket support. Aerospace and defense OEM customers collectively represented approximately 44% of 2012 sales. The majority of these sales are to a small number of large companies. Due to the long-term nature of many of the programs, many of our relationships with aerospace and defense OEM customers are based on long-term agreements. Our industrial OEM sales, which represented approximately 38% of 2012 sales, are to a wide range of global customers and are normally based on lead times of 90 days or less. We also provide aftermarket support, consisting of spare and replacement parts and repair and overhaul services, for all of our products. Our major aftermarket customers are the U.S. Government and commercial airlines. In 2012, aftermarket sales accounted for 18% of total sales.
Customers in our five operating segments include:

• | Aircraft Controls: Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Airbus, BAE, Bombardier, Gulfstream, Honeywell, Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Government.

• | Space and Defense Controls: Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Orbital Sciences, BAE, United Technologies-Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, Alliant Techsystems, General Dynamics and Thales Alenia.

• | Industrial Systems: RePower AG, United Power (GUP), FlightSafety, CAE, Arburg, Metso and Schlumberger.

• | Components: Respironics, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Philips Medical and the U.S. Government.

• | Medical Devices: Danone and Abbott.

International Operations. Our operations outside the United States are conducted through wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries and are located predominantly in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. See Note 17 of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report for information regarding sales by geographic area and Exhibit 21 of Item 15, Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules of this report for a list of subsidiaries. Our international operations are subject to the usual risks inherent in international trade, including currency fluctuations, local government contracting regulations, local governmental restrictions on foreign investment and repatriation of profits, exchange controls, regulation of the import and distribution of foreign goods, as well as changing economic and social conditions in countries in which our operations are conducted.
Environmental Matters. See the discussion in Note 18 of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report.
Website Access to Information. Our internet address is www.moog.com. We make our annual reports on Form 10‑K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and, if applicable, amendments to those reports, available on the investor information portion of our website.

Item 1A. |  | Risk Factors.

The markets we serve are cyclical and sensitive to domestic and foreign economic conditions and events, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate. The markets we serve are sensitive to fluctuations in general business cycles as well as domestic and foreign economic conditions and events. For example, our defense programs are largely contingent on U.S. Department of Defense funding. Our space programs rely on the same governmental funding as well as commercial investment into exploration activities. Demand for our industrial systems products is dependent upon several factors, including capital investment, product innovations, economic growth, cost-reduction efforts and technology upgrades. In addition, the commercial airline industry is cyclical and sensitive to fuel price increases, labor disputes and economic conditions. These factors could result in a reduction in the amount of air travel, which could reduce service and maintenance orders for flight controls and spare parts, thereby reducing our commercial market sales. Changes in medical reimbursement rates of insurers to medical service providers could impact our sale of medical products.
We operate in highly competitive markets with competitors who may have greater resources than we possess. Many of our products are sold in highly competitive markets. Some of our competitors, especially in our industrial and medical markets, are larger, more diversified and have greater financial, marketing, production and research and development resources. As a result, they may be better able to withstand the effects of periodic economic downturns. Our sales and operating margins will be negatively impacted if our competitors:

• | develop products that are superior to our products,

• | develop products of comparable quality and performance that are more competitively priced than our products,

• | develop methods of more efficiently and effectively providing products and services, or

• | adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies or evolving customer requirements.

We believe that the principal points of competition in our markets are product quality, price, design and engineering capabilities, product development, conformity to customer specifications, timeliness of delivery, effectiveness of the distribution organization and quality of support after the sale. Maintaining and improving our competitive position will require continued investment in manufacturing, engineering, quality standards, marketing, customer service and support and our distribution networks. If we do not maintain sufficient resources to make these investments or are not successful in maintaining our competitive position, our operations and financial performance will suffer.
We depend heavily on government contracts that may not be fully funded or may be terminated, and the failure to receive funding or the termination of one or more of these contracts could reduce our sales and increase our costs. Sales to the U.S. Government and its prime contractors and subcontractors represent a significant portion of our business. In 2012, sales under U.S. Government contracts represented 30% of our total sales, primarily within Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls and Components. Sales to foreign governments represented 9% of our total sales. Government programs can be structured into a series of individual contracts and funding under those contracts is generally subject to annual congressional appropriations which are subject to change. Also outlined in the 2011 Budget Control Act, starting in calendar year 2013, are additional reductions to defense spending (or Sequestration) of approximately $500 billion over the next decade. These uniform cuts could have ramifications for the aerospace and defense market. As currently written in the Budget Control Act, sequestration could materially adversely impact our sales, operating profit and our cash flow. We have resources applied to specific government contracts and if any of those contracts are rescheduled or terminated, we may incur substantial costs redeploying those resources.
We make estimates in accounting for long-term contracts, and changes in these estimates may have significant impacts on our earnings. We have long-term contracts with some of our customers. These contracts are predominantly within Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls. Revenue representing 32% of 2012 sales was accounted for using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting. Under this method, we recognize revenue as work progresses toward completion as determined by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods.
9

Changes in these required estimates could have a material effect on sales and profits. Any adjustments are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, we establish a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss and charge it against income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Amounts representing performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable.
We enter into fixed-price contracts, which could subject us to losses if we have cost overruns. In 2012, fixed-price contracts represented 87% of our sales that were accounted for using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting. On fixed-price contracts, we agree to perform the scope of work specified in the contract for a predetermined price. Depending on the fixed price negotiated, these contracts may provide us with an opportunity to achieve higher profits based on the relationship between our total contract costs and the contract's fixed price. However, we bear the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce our profit or cause us to incur a loss on the contract, which could reduce our net earnings. Loss reserves are most commonly associated with fixed-price contracts that involve the design and development of new and unique controls or control systems to meet the customer's specifications.
If our subcontractors or suppliers fail to perform their contractual obligations, our prime contract performance and our ability to obtain future business could be materially and adversely impacted. Many of our contracts involve subcontracts with other companies upon which we rely to perform a portion of the services we must provide to our customers. There is a risk that we may have disputes with our subcontractors, including disputes regarding the quality and timeliness of work performed by the subcontractor, customer concerns about the subcontractor, our failure to extend existing task orders or issue new task orders under a subcontract or our hiring of personnel of a subcontractor. Failure by our subcontractors to satisfactorily provide on a timely basis the agreed-upon supplies or perform the agreed-upon services may materially and adversely impact our ability to perform our obligations as the prime contractor. Subcontractor performance deficiencies could result in a customer terminating our contract for default. A default termination could expose us to liability and substantially impair our ability to compete for future contracts and orders. In addition, a delay or failure in our ability to obtain components and equipment parts from our suppliers may adversely affect our ability to perform our obligations to our customers.
Contracting on government programs is subject to significant regulation, including rules related to bidding, billing and accounting kickbacks and false claims, and any non-compliance could subject us to fines and penalties or possible debarment. Like all government contractors, we are subject to risks associated with this contracting. These risks include the potential for substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties. These fines and penalties could be imposed for failing to follow procurement integrity and bidding rules, employing improper billing practices or otherwise failing to follow cost accounting standards, receiving or paying kickbacks or filing false claims. We have been, and expect to continue to be, subjected to audits and investigations by U.S. and foreign government agencies and authorities. The failure to comply with the terms of our government contracts could harm our business reputation. It could also result in our progress payments being withheld or our suspension or debarment from future government contracts.
The loss of Boeing as a customer or a significant reduction in sales to Boeing could adversely impact our operating results. We provide Boeing with controls for both military and commercial applications, which, in total, were 11% of our 2012 sales. Sales to Boeing's commercial airplane group are generally made under a long-term supply agreement through 2021 for the Boeing 787 and through 2013 for other commercial airplanes. The loss of Boeing as a customer or a significant reduction in sales to Boeing could reduce our sales and earnings.
10

Our new product research and development efforts may not be successful which could reduce our sales and earnings. Technologies related to our products have undergone, and in the future may undergo, significant changes. We have incurred, and we expect to continue to incur, expenses associated with research and development activities and the introduction of new products in order to succeed in the future. Our technology has been developed through customer-funded and internally funded research and development and through business acquisitions. If we fail to predict customers' preferences or fail to provide viable technological solutions, we may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the acceptance of new products or product enhancements. The research and development expenses we incur may exceed our cost estimates and new products we develop may not generate sales sufficient to offset our costs. Additionally, our competitors may develop technologies and products that have more competitive advantages than ours and render our technology obsolete or uncompetitive.
Our inability to adequately enforce and protect our intellectual property or defend against assertions of infringement could prevent or restrict our ability to compete. We rely on patents, trademarks and proprietary knowledge and technology, both internally developed and acquired, in order to maintain a competitive advantage. Our inability to defend against the unauthorized use of these rights and assets could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Litigation may be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights or defend against claims of infringement. This litigation could result in significant costs and divert our management's focus away from operations.
Our business operations may be adversely affected by information systems interruptions or intrusion. We are dependent on various information technologies throughout our company to administer, store and support multiple business activities. Disruptions or cybersecurity attacks, such as unauthorized access, malicious software and other violations may lead to exposure of proprietary and confidential information as well as potential data corruption. Any intrusion may cause operational stoppages, diminished competitive advantages through reputational damages and increased operational costs.
Our indebtedness and restrictive covenants under our credit facilities could limit our operational and financial flexibility. We have incurred significant indebtedness, and may in the future incur additional debt for acquisitions, operations, research and development and capital expenditures. Our ability to make interest and scheduled principal payments and meet restrictive covenants could be adversely impacted by changes in the availability, terms and cost of capital, increases in interest rates or a reduction in credit rating or outlook. These changes could cause our cost of doing business to increase and limit our ability to pursue acquisition opportunities, react to market conditions and meet operational and capital needs, which would place us at a competitive disadvantage.
Significant changes in discount rates, rates of return on pension assets, mortality tables and other factors could adversely affect our earnings and equity and increase our pension funding requirements. Pension obligations and the related costs are determined using actual results and actuarial valuations that involve several assumptions. The most critical assumptions are the discount rate, the long-term expected return on assets and mortality. Other assumptions include salary increases and retirement age. Some of these assumptions, such as the discount rate and return on pension assets, are reflective of economic conditions and largely out of our control. Positive or negative changes in these assumptions could adversely affect our earnings, equity and funding requirements.
A write-off of all or part of our goodwill or other intangible assets could adversely affect our operating results and net worth. Goodwill and other intangible assets are a substantial portion of our assets. At September 29, 2012, goodwill was $763 million and other intangible assets were $212 million of our total assets of $3.1 billion. Our goodwill and other intangible assets may increase in the future since our strategy includes growing through acquisitions. We may have to write off all or part of our goodwill or other intangible assets if their value becomes impaired. Although this write-off would be a non-cash charge, it could reduce our earnings and net worth significantly. Among other adverse impacts, this could result in our inability to refinance or renegotiate the terms of our bank indebtedness.
11

Our sales and earnings growth may be affected if we cannot identify, acquire or integrate strategic acquisitions. Acquisitions are a key part of our growth strategy. Our historical growth has depended, and our future growth is likely to depend, in part, on our ability to successfully identify, acquire and integrate acquired businesses. We intend to continue to seek additional acquisition opportunities, both to expand into new markets and to enhance our position in existing markets throughout the world. Growth by acquisition involves risk that could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. In pursuing acquisition opportunities or integrating acquired businesses, management's time and attention may be diverted from our core business. We may not know the potential exposure to unanticipated liabilities. Additionally, the expected benefits or synergies of an acquisition might not be fully realized, integrating operations and personnel may be slowed as well as key employees, suppliers or customers of the acquired business may depart.
Our operations in foreign countries expose us to political and currency risks and adverse changes in local legal and regulatory environments. We have significant manufacturing and sales operations in foreign countries. In addition, our domestic operations have sales to foreign customers. In 2012, 45% of our net sales was to customers outside of the United States. Our financial results may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currencies and by the translation of the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries from local currencies into U.S. dollars. We expect international operations and export sales to continue to contribute to our earnings for the foreseeable future. Both the sales from international operations and export sales are subject in varying degrees to risks inherent in doing business outside of the United States. Such risks include the possibility of unfavorable circumstances arising from host country laws or regulations, changes in tariff and trade barriers and import or export licensing requirements, and political or economic reprioritization, insurrection, civil disturbance or war.
Unforeseen exposure to additional income tax liabilities may affect our operating results. Our distribution of taxable income is subject to domestic and, as a result of our significant manufacturing and sales presence in foreign countries, foreign tax jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate and earnings may be affected by shifts in our mix of earnings in countries with varying statutory tax rates, changes in reinvested foreign earnings, alterations to tax regulations or interpretations and outcomes of any audits performed on previous tax returns.
Government regulations could limit our ability to sell our products outside the United States and otherwise adversely affect our business. In 2012, approximately 12% of our sales were subject to compliance with the United States export regulations. Our failure to obtain, or fully adhere to the limitations contained in, the requisite licenses, meet registration standards or comply with other government export regulations would hinder our ability to generate revenues from the sale of our products outside the United States. Compliance with these government regulations may also subject us to additional fees and operating costs. The absence of comparable restrictions on competitors in other countries may adversely affect our competitive position. In order to sell our products in European Union countries, we must satisfy certain technical requirements. If we are unable to comply with those requirements with respect to a significant quantity of our products, our sales in Europe would be restricted. Doing business internationally also subjects us to numerous U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, including regulations relating to import-export control, technology transfer restrictions, foreign corrupt practices and anti-boycott provisions. Our failure, or by an authorized agent or representative that is attributable to us, to comply with these laws and regulations could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities and could, in the extreme case, result in financial penalties or suspension or debarment from government contracts or suspension of our export privileges, which would have a material adverse effect on us.
The failure or misuse of our products may damage our reputation, necessitate a product recall or result in claims against us that exceed our insurance coverage, thereby requiring us to pay significant damages. Defects in the design and manufacture of our products may necessitate a product recall. We include complex system designs and components in our products that could contain errors or defects, particularly when we incorporate new technology into our products. If any of our products are defective, we could be required to redesign or recall those products or pay substantial damages or warranty claims and face actions by regulatory bodies and government authorities. Such an event could result in significant expenses, disrupt sales and affect our reputation and that of our products and cause us to withdraw from certain markets. We are also exposed to product liability claims. Many of our products are used in applications where their failure or misuse could result in significant property loss and serious personal injury or death. We carry product liability insurance consistent with industry norms. However, these insurance coverages may not be sufficient to fully cover the payment of any potential claim. A product recall or a product liability claim not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Future terror attacks, war, natural disasters or other catastrophic events beyond our control could negatively impact our business. Terror attacks, war or other civil disturbances, natural disasters and other catastrophic events could lead to economic instability and decreases in demand for commercial products, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Terrorist attacks worldwide have caused instability from time to time in global financial markets and the aviation industry. In 2012, 17% of our net sales was in the commercial aircraft market. Our facilities are located throughout the world. They could be subject to damage from fire, flood, earthquake or other natural or man-made disasters. Although we carry third party property insurance covering these and other risks, our inability to meet customers' schedules as a result of a catastrophe may result in a loss of customers or significant additional costs, such as penalty claims under customer contracts.
Our operations are subject to environmental laws, and complying with those laws may cause us to incur significant costs. Our operations and facilities are subject to numerous stringent environmental laws and regulations. Although we believe that we are in material compliance with these laws and regulations, future changes in these laws, regulations, or interpretations of them, or changes in the nature of our operations may require us to make significant capital expenditures to ensure compliance. We have been and are currently involved in environmental remediation activities, the cost of which may become significant depending on the discovery of additional environmental exposures at sites that we currently own or operate and at sites that we formerly owned or operated, or at sites to which we have sent hazardous substances or wastes for treatment, recycling or disposal.
We are involved in various legal proceedings, the outcome of which may be unfavorable to us. Our business may be adversely impacted by the outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies that cannot be predicted with certainty. We estimate loss contingencies and establish reserves based on our assessment where liability is deemed probable and reasonably estimable given the facts and circumstances known to us at a particular point in time. Subsequent developments may affect our assessment and estimates of the loss contingencies recorded as liabilities.

Item 7. |  | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW
We are a worldwide designer, manufacturer and integrator of high performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace and defense and industrial markets. Within the aerospace and defense market, our products and systems include military and commercial aircraft flight controls, thrust vector controls for space launch vehicles, controls for gun aiming, stabilization and automatic ammunition loading for armored combat vehicles, satellite positioning controls and controls for steering tactical and strategic missiles. In the industrial market, our products are used in a wide range of applications including injection molding machines, metal forming, heavy industry, material and automotive testing, pilot training simulators, wind energy, enteral clinical nutrition pumps, infusion therapy pumps, oil exploration, motors used in sleep apnea devices, power generation, surveillance systems and slip rings used on CT scanners. We operate under five segments, Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls, Industrial Systems, Components and Medical Devices. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, England, the Philippines, Germany, China, India, Italy, The Netherlands, Japan, Costa Rica, Luxembourg, Ireland and Canada.
We have long-term contracts with some of our customers. These contracts are predominantly within Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls and represent 32% of our sales. We recognize revenue on these contracts using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion. The remainder of our sales are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product are transferred to the customer, principally as units are delivered or as service obligations are satisfied. This method of revenue recognition is predominantly used within the Industrial Systems, Components and Medical Devices segments, as well as with aftermarket activity.
We concentrate on providing our customers with products designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. In achieving a leadership position in the high performance, precision controls market, we have capitalized on our strengths, which include:

• | superior technical competence,

• | customer diversity and broad product portfolio, and

• | well-established international presence serving customers worldwide.

We intend to increase our revenue base and improve our profitability and cash flows from operations by building on our market leadership positions, by strengthening our niche market positions in the principal markets that we serve and by extending our participation on the platforms we supply by providing more systems solutions. We also expect to maintain a balanced, diversified portfolio in terms of markets served, product applications, customer base and geographic presence. Our strategy to achieve our objectives includes:

• | maintaining our technological excellence by building upon our systems integration capabilities while solving our customers’ most demanding technical problems,

• | striving for continuing cost improvements,

• | taking advantage of our global capabilities,

• | developing products for new and emerging markets,

• | growing our profitable aftermarket business, and

• | capitalizing on strategic acquisitions and opportunities.

We face numerous challenges to improve shareholder value. These include, but are not limited to, adjusting to dynamic global economic conditions that are influenced by governmental, industrial and commercial factors, pricing pressures from customers, strong competition, foreign currency fluctuations and increases in employee benefit costs. We address these challenges by focusing on strategic revenue growth and by continuing to improve operating efficiencies through various process and manufacturing initiatives and using low cost manufacturing facilities without compromising quality.

Acquisitions
All of our acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results for the acquired companies are included in the consolidated statements of earnings from the respective dates of acquisition. Under purchase accounting, we record assets and liabilities at fair value and such amounts are reflected in the respective captions on the balance sheet. The purchase price described for each acquisition below is net of any cash acquired and includes debt issued or assumed.
In 2012, we completed four business combinations. Two of these business combinations were in our Components segment. We acquired Protokraft, LLC, based in Tennessee, for $13 million plus contingent consideration with an initial fair value of $5 million. Protokraft designs and manufacturers opto-electronic transceivers, ethernet switches and media converters packaged into rugged, environmentally-sealed connectors. We also acquired Tritech International Limited, based in the UK, for $33 million. Tritech is a leading designer and manufacturer of high performance acoustic sensors, sonars, video cameras and mechanical tooling equipment. We also completed two business combinations in our Space and Defense Controls segment. We acquired Bradford Engineering, based in The Netherlands, for $13 million. Bradford is a developer and manufacturer of satellite equipment including attitude control, propulsion and thermal control subsystems. We also acquired In-Space Propulsion for $45 million. In-Space Propulsion has locations in New York, California, Ireland and the United Kingdom and is a developer and manufacturer of liquid propulsion systems and components for satellites and missile defense systems.
In 2011, we completed three business combinations within two of our segments. We completed two business combinations within our Aircraft Controls segment, both of which are located in the U.S. We acquired Crossbow Technology Inc., based in California, for $32 million. Crossbow designs and manufacturers acceleration sensors that are integrated into inertial navigation and guidance systems used in a variety of aerospace, defense and transportation applications. We also acquired a business that complements our military aftermarket business for $2 million in cash. We completed one business combination within our Components segment by acquiring Animatics Corporation, based in California. The purchase price was $24 million, which included 466,541 shares of Moog Class A common stock valued at $19 million. Animatics supplies integrated servos, linear actuators and control electronics that are used in a variety of industrial, medical and defense applications.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are affected by our application of accounting policies, which are discussed in Note 1 of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report. We believe the accounting policies discussed below are the most critical in understanding and evaluating our financial results. These critical accounting policies have been reviewed with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
Revenue Recognition on Long-Term Contracts
Revenue representing 32% of 2012 sales was accounted for using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting. This method of revenue recognition is predominantly used within the Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls segments due to the contractual nature of the business activities, with the exception of their respective aftermarket activities. The contractual arrangements are either firm fixed-price or cost-plus contracts and are with the U.S. Government or its prime subcontractors, foreign governments or commercial aircraft manufacturers, including Boeing and Airbus. The nature of the contractual arrangements includes customers’ requirements for delivery of hardware as well as funded nonrecurring development work in anticipation of follow-on production orders.
We recognize revenue on contracts in the current period using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion as determined by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods. Changes in estimates affecting sales, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting, resulting in the cumulative effect of changes reflected in the period. Estimates are reviewed and updated quarterly for substantially all contracts. A significant change in an estimate on one or more contracts could have a material effect on our results of operations.
19

Occasionally, it is appropriate to combine or segment contracts. Contracts are combined in those limited circumstances when they are negotiated as a package in the same economic environment with an overall profit margin objective and constitute, in essence, an agreement to do a single project. In such cases, we recognize revenue and costs over the performance period of the combined contracts as if they were one. Contracts are segmented in limited circumstances if the customer had the right to accept separate elements of the contract and the total amount of the proposals on the separate components approximated the amount of the proposal on the entire project. For segmented contracts, we recognize revenue and costs as if they were separate contracts over the performance periods of the individual elements or phases.
Contract costs include only allocable, allowable and reasonable costs which are included in cost of sales when incurred. For applicable Government contracts, contract costs are determined in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the related Cost Accounting Standards. The nature of these costs includes development engineering costs and product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead costs. Contract profit is recorded as a result of the revenue recognized less costs incurred in any reporting period. Amounts representing performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Revenue recognized on contracts for unresolved claims or unapproved contract change orders was not material in 2012, 2011 or 2010.
Contract Loss Reserves
At September 29, 2012, we had contract loss reserves of $48 million. For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss is charged against income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Contract losses are determined considering all direct and indirect contract costs, exclusive of any selling, general or administrative cost allocations that are treated as period expenses. Loss reserves are more common on firm fixed-price contracts that involve, to varying degrees, the design and development of new and unique controls or control systems to meet the customers’ specifications.
Reserves for Inventory Valuation
At September 29, 2012, we had net inventories of $538 million, or 35% of current assets. Reserves for inventory were $97 million, or 15% of gross inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost-or-market with cost determined primarily on the first-in, first-out method of valuation.
We record valuation reserves to provide for slow-moving or obsolete inventory by using both a formula-based method that increases the valuation reserve as the inventory ages and, additionally, a specific identification method. We consider overall inventory levels in relation to firm customer backlog in addition to forecasted demand including aftermarket sales. Changes in these and other factors such as low demand and technological obsolescence could cause us to increase our reserves for inventory valuation, which would negatively impact our gross margin. As we record provisions within cost of sales to increase inventory valuation reserves, we establish a new, lower cost basis for the inventory.
Reviews for Impairment of Goodwill
At September 29, 2012, we had $763 million of goodwill, or 25% of total assets. We test goodwill for impairment for each of our reporting units at least annually, during our fourth quarter, and whenever events occur or circumstances change, such as changes in the business climate, poor indicators of operating performance or the sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.
We identify our reporting units by assessing whether the components of our operating segments constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of those components. Certain of our reporting units are our operating segments while others are one level below our operating segments.
Companies may perform a qualitative assessment as the initial step in the annual goodwill impairment testing process for all or selected reporting units. Companies are also allowed to bypass the qualitative analysis and perform a quantitative analysis if desired. Economic uncertainties and the length of time from the calculation of a baseline fair value are factors that we would consider in determining whether to perform a quantitative test.
20

When we evaluate the potential for goodwill impairment using a qualitative assessment, we consider factors including, but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for our products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel and overall financial performance. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we proceed to a quantitative two-step impairment test.
Quantitative testing first requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to the carrying value. We use the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of each of our reporting units. The discounted cash flow method incorporates various assumptions, the most significant being projected revenue growth rates, operating profit margins and cash flows, the terminal growth rate and the discount rate. Management projects revenue growth rates, operating margins and cash flows based on each reporting unit's current business, expected developments and operational strategies over a five-year period. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and any loss must be measured.
In measuring the impairment loss, the implied fair value of goodwill is determined by assigning a fair value to all of the reporting unit's assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination at fair value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
For our annual test of goodwill impairment in 2012, we performed a quantitative assessment for our Medical Devices reporting unit, which had $126 million of goodwill as of the date of our test. In performing this assessment, we used a 3% terminal growth rate, which is supported by our historical growth rate, near-term projections and long-term expected market growth. We then discounted the projected cash flows using a weighted average cost of capital of 10.5%. This discount rate reflects management's assumptions of marketplace participants' cost of capital and risk assumptions, both specific to the Medical Devices reporting unit and overall in the economy. Based on this test, the fair value of the Medical Devices reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by over 10%. Therefore, goodwill was not impaired. Had we used a discount rate that was 100 basis points higher than what we assumed, the fair value of the Medical Devices reporting unit would not have exceeded its carrying value and we would have measured impairment of goodwill. However, if we had we used a discount rate that was 50 basis points higher or a terminal growth rate that was 100 basis points lower than those we assumed, the fair value of the Medical Devices reporting unit would have continued to exceed its carrying value.
The determination of each of our assumptions is subjective and requires significant estimates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the results of our impairment review. If cash flows generated by our Medical Devices reporting unit were to decline significantly in the future or there were negative revisions to key assumptions, we may be required to record impairment charges. Among other things, our Medical Devices assumptions include growth of revenue, margins, and increased cash flows over time. If actual results differ from these assumptions, it may result in an impairment of our goodwill.
We performed qualitative assessments for the other seven reporting units and concluded that it is more likely than not that their fair values exceed their carrying values.
Based on our annual qualitative and quantitative assessments of our reporting units, we concluded that goodwill was not impaired.
Purchase Price Allocations for Business Combinations
During 2012, we completed four business combinations for a total purchase price of $110 million. Under purchase accounting, we recorded assets and liabilities at fair value as of the acquisition dates. We identified and ascribed value to programs, customer relationships, patents and technology, trade names, backlog and contracts and estimated the useful lives over which these intangible assets would be amortized. Valuations of these assets were performed largely using discounted cash flow models. These valuations support the conclusion that identifiable intangible assets had a value of $45 million. The resulting goodwill was $30 million.
Ascribing value to intangible assets requires estimates used in projecting relevant future cash flows, in addition to estimating useful lives of such assets. Using different assumptions could have a material effect on our current and future amortization expense
21

Pension Assumptions
We maintain various defined benefit pension plans covering employees at certain locations. Pension expense for all defined benefit plans for 2012 was $35 million. Pension obligations and the related costs are determined using actuarial valuations that involve several assumptions. The most critical assumptions are the discount rate and the long-term expected return on assets. Other assumptions include mortality rates, salary increases and retirement age.
The discount rate is used to state expected future cash flows at present value. Using a lower discount rate increases the present value of pension obligations and increases pension expense. We used the Mercer Pension Discount Yield Curve to determine the discount rate for our U.S. plans. The discount rate is determined by discounting the plan's expected future benefit payments using a yield curve developed from high quality bonds that are rated AA or better by Moody's as of the measurement date. The yield curve calculation matches the notional cash inflows of the hypothetical bond portfolio with the expected benefit payments to arrive at the discount rate. In determining expense for 2012 for our largest U.S. plan, we used a 4.8% discount rate, compared to 5.3% for 2011. We will use a 3.8% discount rate to determine our expense in 2013 for this plan. This 100 basis point decrease in the discount rate will increase our pension expense by $10 million in 2013.
The long-term expected return on assets assumption reflects the average rate of return expected on funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. In determining the long-term expected return on assets assumption, we consider our current and target asset allocations. We consider the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan assets and individual asset classes and economic and other indicators of future performance. Asset management objectives include maintaining an adequate level of diversification to reduce interest rate and market risk and to provide adequate liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit payment requirements. In determining the 2012 expense for our largest plan, we used an 8.9% return on assets assumption, the same as we used in 2011. A 50 basis point decrease in the long-term expected return on assets assumption would increase our annual pension expense by $2 million.
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowances
At September 29, 2012, we had gross deferred tax assets of $292 million and a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $2 million. The deferred tax assets principally relate to benefit accruals, inventory obsolescence, tax benefit carry forwards and contract loss reserves. The $2 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance relates to certain tax benefit carryforwards.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. We consider recent earnings projections, allowable tax carryforward periods, tax planning strategies and historical earnings performance to determine the amount of the valuation allowance. Changes in these factors could cause us to adjust our valuation allowance, which would impact our income tax expense when we determine that these factors have changed.

Net sales increased in 2012 compared to 2011 due to growth in Aircraft Controls and Components. During 2011, net sales increased in all of our segments with the exception of Components.
Our gross margin increased in 2012 compared to 2011 due to more beneficial product mix across multiple segments. We had stronger gross margins in Aircraft Controls, Components and Industrial Systems, while gross margins were fairly flat in Space and Defense Controls and Medical Devices. Our gross margin was relatively unchanged in 2011 compared to 2010. Volume increases and a more favorable product mix were offset by more additions to contract loss reserves. The loss reserves are primarily within our Aircraft Controls segment.
Research and development increased in 2012 due to the ramp up of activity on the Airbus A350 program, partially offset by reduced activity on the Boeing 787-8 program. In 2011, research and development increased due to more activity on A350 development.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased in 2012 compared to 2011 due to a shift of activity from direct product support to selling support. The increase in 2011 compared to 2010 is a result of increased marketing efforts and bid and proposal activity for aerospace programs, partially offset by the efficiencies gained from our higher sales volume.
In 2009, we initiated restructuring efforts to better align our cost base with the lower level of sales and operating margins associated with the global recession. These actions continued in 2010 and 2011. In 2010, the restructuring actions were primarily in Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems. In 2011, restructuring actions were primarily in the Industrial Systems segment.
Interest expense decreased in 2012 compared to 2011 as a result of lower interest rates. Interest expense decreased in 2011 compared to 2010 as a result of lower average borrowings and lower interest rates.
The effective tax rate for 2012 was higher than 2011 due to a lower foreign tax credits and research and development tax credits. Partially offsetting these items were a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance associated with net operating loss carryforwards from a foreign operation and a decrease in the legislated statutory tax rate in the U.K. affecting the measurement of deferred tax liabilities. The effective tax rate for 2011 is lower than 2010 primarily from the recognition of current and future tax benefits associated with the same net operating loss carry forward.
Net earnings and earnings per share increased in 2012, primarily driven by increases in operating profit from Aircraft Controls and, to a lesser extent, Components and Medical Devices. In 2011, net earnings and earnings per share increased as all of our segments, except for Components, had higher levels of operating profit than in 2010.
23

2013 Outlook - We expect sales in 2013 to increase between 6% and 8% to between $2.62 billion and $2.67 billion. This range reflects strength in most of our segments as well as uncertainty in the macro-economic picture within our Industrial Systems segment. We expect operating margin to be between 11.4% and 11.6%. We expect margin expansion in Aircraft Controls, Components and Medical Devices and a slight compression in Space and Defense Controls. We expect our Industrial Systems segment operating margin to be between 9.6% and 10.9%. We expect net earnings to increase to between $161 and $170 million and diluted earnings per share to increase between 5% and 11% to between $3.50 and $3.70. This outlook excludes any effect for 2013 from sequestration (as noted in Economic Conditions and Market Trends).

Aircraft Controls' sales increased in 2012 reflecting strength in both commercial and military businesses. Within military aircraft, sales increased $12 million for foreign military sales, $11 million on the F-35 program as production ramped up and $9 million in navigational aids. Aftermarket sales increased $8 million. In addition, the KC-46 tanker program ramped up, providing an incremental $5 million of sales. Within commercial aircraft, we experienced sales growth across the majority of our platforms. Specifically, sales increased $21 million to Boeing, $12 million on business jets and $7 million to Airbus as production on the A380 ramped up. Commercial aftermarket sales also increased $15 million, primarily due to initial provisioning spares sales for the Boeing 787 program.
Aircraft Controls' sales increased in 2011 compared to 2010 as both commercial and military businesses contributed strong sales growth. Military aftermarket sales increased $49 million, partially offset by a $15 million decrease in military fighter programs. The increase in military aftermarket reflects the benefit of some significant upgrade programs on several platforms. Commercial aircraft sales were strong as commercial aftermarket sales increased $17 million, returning to pre-recession levels. The Boeing 787 production ramp up increased sales $15 million, which included the negotiation of open scope changes. In addition, sales increased $7 million on Airbus programs and $6 million in business jets as that market recovered.
Operating margin increased in 2012 compared to 2011 due to higher sales volumes. Also, additions to contract loss reserves decreased $2 million in 2012 compared to 2011. Higher r esearch and development related to the ramp up of development work on the A350 program partially offset margin expansion. Increased expenses related to the move to our newly constructed manufacturing facility in Wolverhampton, England also partially offset the margin increase. Operating margin was comparable in 2011 and 2010. In 2011, research and development costs were lower as a percentage of sales, primarily as a result of reimbursements totaling $13 million on a commercial transport program in 2011. We also had benefits in 2011 associated with the higher volume and sales mix changes toward higher margin business such as military aftermarket. Partially offsetting those positive contributions were increased contract loss reserves of $20 million. The higher loss reserves were on various commercial programs, including the 787 related to higher cost estimates of early production units and the G280 as a result of changes coming out of flight certification efforts.
The higher level of twelve-month backlog for Aircraft Controls at September 29, 2012 compared to October 1, 2011 reflects strong orders for military aftermarket and commercial business. The higher level of twelve-month backlog at October 1, 2011 compared to October 2, 2010 reflected strong commercial aircraft orders.
2013 Outlook for Aircraft Controls - We expect sales in Aircraft Controls to increase 7% to $1.03 billion in 2013. Commercial aircraft is expected to increase 13% to $437 million due to stronger sales to Boeing and Airbus. Military aircraft sales are expected to increase 3% to $590 million primarily due to aftermarket and the ramp up on the KC-46 tanker program. We expect operating margin to increase to 11.5% in 2013, reflecting incremental margin on higher sales and a decline in research and development expenses.

Space and Defense Controls net sales were relatively flat in 2012 compared to 2011 with strong growth in the space market offset by declines in both the security and defense markets. Sales on space programs grew $37 million. Of this increase, $17 million came from acquisitions with In-Space Propulsion contributing $9 million and Bradford Engineering contributing $8 million. Increased activities on the United Launch Alliance common thrust vector control system for the Delta IV and Atlas V next generation rockets drove an additional $12 million increase. Sales in the security market decreased $30 million, attributable to the Driver's Vision Enhancer (DVE) program wind down. Defense sales decreased $6 million as last year's order for an aircraft stores management system was only partially offset by higher tactical missile production rates in 2012.
Net sales in Space and Defense Controls increased in 2011, primarily in two areas, security and surveillance and tactical missiles. Sales increased $21 million in security and surveillance, a result of our 2010 acquisition of Pieper and stronger demand in government and industrial markets. Tactical missiles increased $19 million as a result of a large order for an aircraft stores management system and the replenishment of TOW and Hellfire missile inventory. Partially offsetting those increases was an $11 million decline in the satellite market, which experienced a record year in 2010 due to an unusually high number of GEO satellite orders that year.
Operating margin decreased in 2012 due to a less favorable sales mix as 2011 included strong sales on the DVE program and profit contributions on the aircraft stores management system. These programs also drove the operating margin increase of 2011 over 2010.
The lower twelve-month backlog as of September 29, 2012 compared to October 1, 2011 is a result of various projects completing and is partly offset by increases from our recent acquisitions. The increased level of twelve-month backlog at October 1, 2011 compared to October 2, 2010 reflected improved orders for satellites, launch vehicles and tactical missiles.
2013 Outlook for Space and Defense Controls - We expect sales in Space and Defense Controls to increase 15% to $413 million in 2013. We expect this increase to be primarily attributable to our acquisitions and to foreign opportunities in our missile defense programs. We expect operating margin to decrease to 11.2% largely as a result of purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the In-Space Propulsion acquisition.

Net sales in Industrial Systems were relatively flat in 2012 compared to 2011. Adjusting for foreign currency translation effects associated with the stronger U.S. dollar, real growth in 2012 was $25 million, or 4%. Within the segment, sales increased $24 million in our simulation and test markets. Sales increased $13 million in our non-renewable energy market on strong demand for our energy exploration and generation products. The sales growth was partially offset by an $18 million decline in the wind energy business due to continued weakness in China. Also, offsetting the increase was a $15 million decline within industrial automation related to foreign currency translation effects and softer general industrial economic conditions.
Net sales in Industrial Systems for 2011 reflected increases in all of our major markets except for wind energy. The broad-based sales recovery reflected the strengthening of business in all of our geographic markets. Sales increased $66 million in industrial automation, $26 million in motion simulation and $13 million in the non-renewable energy market. Offsetting those increases was a decrease in wind energy of $22 million, primarily due to the Chinese market, where large customers had built up inventory, allowing them to slow their orders.
The 2012 operating margin remained the same as 2011 on fairly level sales. Operating margin for 2011 increased on higher sales volume in our legacy markets, but was tempered by the decline in the wind energy market.
The lower level of twelve-month backlog in Industrial Systems at September 29, 2012 compared to October 1, 2011 is primarily due to a decline in wind energy orders and the timing of auto test orders. The higher level of twelve-month backlog at October 1, 2011 compared to October 2, 2010 was due primarily to increased demand in most of our major markets due to improving global economic conditions, especially in test equipment and power generation.
2013 Outlook for Industrial Systems - Due to the lower level in incoming orders and general uncertainty in the global industrial economy, we forecasted a range of sales and operating margins. On the high end of the range, we are forecasting sales in Industrial Systems to increase 6% to $674 million. Under this scenario, our simulation and test market and our industrial automation market would show growth, while sales in the energy market would increase only slightly. We expect operating margin to increase to 10.9%, benefiting from higher sales. On the low end of the range, sales in Industrial Systems would decrease 2% to $624 million. Under this scenario, our simulation and test market sales would grow; however, sales in our energy and industrial automation markets would decrease. We expect operating margin to decrease slightly to 9.6%.

Components' net sales increased in 2012 with incremental sales from acquisitions contributing $15 million to the growth. Sales in non-aerospace and defense markets grew $24 million and were partially offset by a $3 million decrease in aerospace and defense markets. Sales increased $12 million in our marine business, driven by both increased demand in off-shore oil exploration products, which is influenced by oil prices, as well as our recent acquisition of Tritech. Sales in the industrial market increased $6 million, as our Animatics acquisition more than offset declines in wind energy components. Medical sales increased $6 million as well. Offsetting these increases was a $6 million decrease in military aircraft sales reflecting slower demand for military aircraft and defense control products.
Net sales in Components decreased in 2011 as sales shifted between markets. Sales increased $12 million in our industrial business with the Animatics acquisition contributing $6 million. Sales increased $11 million in the marine market, related to off shore oil exploration, and $9 million in medical equipment, primarily from sales to Respironics for sleep apnea equipment. Sales for space and defense controls declined $22 million, mostly a result of slowing demand for various military vehicles, including our completion of the upgrade program on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, and a large fiber optic modem order on the Eurofighter we supplied in 2010 which did not repeat in 2011. Sales in the aircraft market declined $16 million, primarily in military aircraft, reflecting a general softness in 2011 and strong de-icing system sales on the Black Hawk helicopter program in 2010.
Operating margin increased in 2012 compared to 2011 due to higher sales volumes in 2012 and a write down recorded in 2011. In 2011, we recorded a $2 million write down on a technology investment in data compression technology for use in CAT scan machines. Operating margin decreased in 2011 compared to 2010 as a result of the sales volume decline, a less favorable product mix, a general shift to newer products with larger up-front costs and the writedown of the technology investment.
The higher level of twelve-month backlog at September 29, 2012 compared to October 1, 2011 is attributable to increased marine orders for oil and gas exploration products and in part attributable to our recent acquisitions. Offsetting the increase is a slowing demand for military aircraft and defense control products. The higher level of twelve-month backlog at October 1, 2011 compared to October 2, 2010 related to orders on the Guardian system.
2013 Outlook for Components - We expect sales to increase 10% to $413 million in 2013. We expect marine sales to increase due to our Tritech acquisition. We also expect stronger industrial automation sales in the U.S., as well as some growth in our defense business as foreign missile defense programs ramp up. Offsetting the growth is an expected continued decline in military aircraft sales. We expect operating margin will expand slightly to 15.5%.

Net sales in Medical Devices in 2012 were comparable to 2011. Sales of sensors, which are used to detect air bubbles in pumping applications, decreased $3 million as we benefited from higher demand in 2011 for one of our customer's pumps due to a recall of certain large volume pumps in the hospital market. Pump sales increased slightly in 2012 as compared to 2011. Sales for syringe pumps increased as we had strong international shipments, especially in Europe, offset by lower sales of IV Pumps as we transitioned from our primary dependency on a single sales distributor to a model that includes more direct sales.
Net sales in Medical Devices for 2011 compared to 2010 increased primarily from our strong sales in both administration sets and sensors and hand pieces, which increased $7 million and $5 million, respectively. Our sensors benefited from the higher demand for one of our customer's pumps due to a recall of certain large volume pumps in the hospital market. In addition, sales of our pumps increased $4 million. We introduced our new enteral pump in the international market, which was partially offset by lower sales of our infusion pumps as we completed a voluntary software correction during 2011.
Operating margins increased in 2012 due to improved efficiencies and increased cost containment activities. In addition, we recorded a $1 million reserve in 2011 in connection with a voluntary software upgrade related to an infusion pump. The upgrade improved the pump's reliability in response to customer feedback. Our operating margin improved to break-even in 2011 as a result of several factors, including lower costs from having our Costa Rica facility fully operational, the higher sales volume and a more favorable product mix. Offsetting those improvements were warranty costs in 2011 in connection with the voluntary software correction.
Twelve-month backlog for Medical Devices is not as substantial relative to sales as compared to our other segments, reflecting the shorter order-to-shipment cycle for this line of business.
2013 Outlook for Medical Devices - We expect sales in Medical Devices to increase 4% to $146 million. Sales of pumps are expected to increase as our IV and enteral pumps gain traction in the marketplace. Our set sales are expected to decrease slightly as we shift our supply agreements with an international customer to a commission structure. We expect operating margin to increase to 6.0% as a result of higher sales. This increase also reflects the negative effect of the medical devices excise tax effective in January 2013 under the Affordable Health Care Act.

Our available borrowing capacity and our cash flow from operations provide us with the financial resources needed to run our operations, reinvest in our business and make strategic acquisitions.
At September 29, 2012, our cash balance was $149 million, substantially all held outside of the U.S. Our U.S. sites fund on-going operations, debt requirements and future growth investments with cash generated from operations along with available borrowings. We reinvest the cash generated from foreign operations locally and such international balances are not available to pay down debt in the U.S. unless we decided to repatriate such amounts. If we determined repatriation of foreign funds was necessary, we would then be required to pay additional U.S. income taxes.
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased in 2012 compared to 2011. The increase is primarily due to higher net earnings. Cash provided by working capital requirements also increased primarily due to lower pension plan contributions in 2012 after having accelerated the payment of previously planned 2012 contributions into the fourth quarter of 2011.
Net cash provided by operating activities was virtually unchanged in 2011 compared to 2010. Positive contributions in 2011 came from higher net earnings, increased customer advances and improved collections on receivables, most notably on Boeing 787. Offsetting those positive cash flows were greater use of cash for inventory requirements to fund the sales growth and a higher level of U.S. defined pension plan contributions.
Investing activities
Net cash used by investing activities in 2012 included $107 million for capital expenditures and $105 million for four acquisitions, two each in Space and Defense Controls and Components. The higher level of capital expenditures in 2012 compared to 2011 was partly attributable to newly constructed facilities.
Net cash used by investing activities in 2011 included $84 million for capital expenditures and $38 million for three acquisitions, two in Aircraft Controls and one in Components. Net cash used by investing activities in 2010 included $66 million for capital expenditures and $30 million for four acquisitions, two in Space and Defense Controls and one each in Aircraft Controls and Industrial Systems.
We expect our 2013 capital expenditures to be approximately $105 million.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in 2012 primarily reflects increased domestic borrowings to fund acquisitions. Net cash used by financing activities in 2011 primarily reflects pay downs on our U.S. credit facility and $29 million used for our share repurchase program, under which we purchased the remaining 766,400 shares authorized by our Board of Directors in October 2008. Net cash used by financing activities in 2010 primarily reflects pay downs on our U.S. credit facility and the payment of a note issued for the LTi REEnergy acquisition in 2009.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND RESOURCES
We maintain bank credit facilities to fund our short and long-term capital requirements, including for acquisitions. From time to time, we also sell equity and debt securities to fund acquisitions or take advantage of favorable market conditions.
Our largest credit facility is our U.S. credit facility, which matures on March 18, 2016. It consists of a $900 million revolver and had an outstanding balance of $292 million at September 29, 2012. Interest on the majority of the outstanding credit facility borrowings is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 150 basis points at September 29, 2012. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.
The U.S. credit facility contains various covenants. The covenant for minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent four quarters, is 3.0. The covenant for the maximum leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt, including letters of credit, to EBITDA for the most recent four quarters, is 3.5. The covenant for maximum capital expenditures is $145 million for 2012 and increases by $10 million each year thereafter. We are in compliance with all covenants. EBITDA is defined in the loan agreement as (i) the sum of net income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, other non-cash items reducing consolidated net income and non-cash equity-based compensation expenses minus (ii) other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income.
We are required to obtain the consent of lenders of the U.S. credit facility before raising significant additional debt financing. In recent years, we have demonstrated our ability to secure consents to access debt markets. We have also been successful in accessing equity markets, from time to time. We believe that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing as needed.
On March 5, 2012, we entered into a trade receivables securitization facility (the "Securitization Program"), which matures on March 4, 2013. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. The Securitization Program can be extended by agreement of the parties thereto for successive 364-day terms. The Securitization Program effectively increases our borrowing capacity by up to $100 million and lowers our cost to borrow funds as compared to the U.S. credit facility. We had an outstanding balance of $82 million at September 29, 2012. The Securitization Program reduced the amount outstanding under our U.S. credit facility and increased the amount of short-term borrowings. Interest on the secured borrowings under the Securitization Program is 92 basis points at September 29, 2012 and is based on prevailing market rates for short-term commercial paper plus an applicable margin.
At September 29, 2012, we had $608 million of unused borrowing capacity, including $594 million from the U.S. credit facility after considering standby letters of credit.
Net debt to capitalization was 32% at September 29, 2012 and 34% at October 1, 2011. The decrease in net debt to capitalization is primarily due to our positive cash flow and net earnings.
We believe that our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under short and long-term lines of credit will continue to be sufficient to meet our operating needs.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Our significant contractual obligations and commercial commitments at September 29, 2012 are as follows:

(dollars in millions) |  | Payments due by period
Contractual Obligations |  | Total |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2014- 2015 |  |  | 2016- 2017 |  |  | After 2017 |
Long-term debt |  | $ | 674 |  |  | $ | 3 |  |  | $ | 187 |  |  | $ | 292 |  |  | $ | 192 |
Interest on long-term debt |  | 107 |  |  | 26 |  |  | 43 |  |  | 28 |  |  | 10 |
Operating leases |  | 78 |  |  | 20 |  |  | 28 |  |  | 17 |  |  | 13 |
Purchase obligations |  | 499 |  |  | 419 |  |  | 53 |  |  | 2 |  |  | 25 |
Total contractual obligations |  | $ | 1,358 |  |  | $ | 468 |  |  | $ | 311 |  |  | $ | 339 |  |  | $ | 240 |

In addition to the obligations in the table above, we have $5 million recorded for unrecognized tax benefits in current liabilities, which includes $1 million of related accrued interest. We are unable to determine if and when any of those amounts will be settled, nor can we estimate any potential changes to the unrecognized tax benefits.
Interest on long-term debt consists of payments on fixed-rate debt, primarily our senior subordinated notes. It excludes interest on variable-rate debt, primarily our U.S. credit facility, as we are unable to determine the rate and average balance outstanding for the periods presented in the above table. Interest on variable-rate long-term debt, assuming the rate and outstanding balances do not change from those at September 29, 2012, would be approximately $7 million annually.
Total contractual obligations exclude pension as our obligation to satisfy minimum funding requirements in 2013 with cash contributions is not material. However, we anticipate making contributions of $39 million to defined benefit pension plans in 2013.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS
We operate within the aerospace and defense and industrial markets. Our aerospace and defense markets are affected by market conditions and program funding levels, while our industrial markets are influenced by general capital investment trends and economic conditions. A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.
Aerospace and Defense
Approximately 59% of our 2012 sales were generated in aerospace and defense markets. Within aerospace and defense, we serve three end markets: defense, commercial aircraft and space.
The defense market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictability as to capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and V-22 Osprey. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. The tactical missile, missile defense and defense controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. Our homeland security product line is dependent on government funding at federal and local levels, as well as private sector demand.
Starting in calendar year 2013, additional cuts to the U.S. Department of Defense's mandatory and discretionary budgeted spending of approximately $500 billion over the next decade (or sequestration) as a result of the 2011 Budget Control Act could have ramifications for the aerospace and defense market. As currently written in the Budget Control Act, sequestration cuts are uniform by category for programs, projects and activities within accounts. These reductions would impact our sales, operating profit and our cash flow. However, it is unknown whether sequestration will happen or how it will be implemented. Currently, we have approximately $800 million in domestic defense sales forecasted for 2013.
Global demand for air travel generally follows economic growth and, therefore, the commercial aircraft market has historically exhibited cyclical swings. The aftermarket is driven by usage of the existing aircraft fleet and the age of the installed fleet, and is impacted by fleet re-sizing programs for passenger and cargo aircraft. Changes in aircraft utilization rates affect the need for maintenance and spare parts and impact aftermarket sales. Boeing and Airbus have historically adjusted production in line with air traffic volume. Demand for our commercial aircraft products is in large part dependent on new aircraft production, which is increasing as Boeing and Airbus work down large backlogs of unfilled orders.
The commercial space market is comprised of large satellite customers, traditionally communications companies. Trends for this market, as well as for commercial launch vehicles, follow demand for increased capacity, satellite replacement and global navigation. The space market is also partially dependent on the governmental authorized levels of funding for satellite communications.
Industrial
Approximately 41% of our 2012 sales were generated in industrial markets. Within industrial, we serve three end markets: industrial automation, energy and medical.
The industrial automation market we serve is influenced by several factors including capital investment, product innovation, economic growth, cost-reduction efforts and technology upgrades. We experience challenges from the need to react to the demands of our customers, who are in large part sensitive to international and domestic economies.
The energy market is in part affected by changing natural oil and gas prices, global urbanization and the resulting increase in demand for global energy. Drivers for global growth include investments in power generation infrastructure, including renewable energy, and exploration for new resource reservoirs.
33

The medical market we serve is influenced by economic conditions, regulatory environments, hospital and outpatient clinic spending on equipment, population demographics, medical advances, patient demands and the need for precision control components and systems. Advances in medical technology and medical treatments have had the effect of extending the average life span, in turn resulting in greater need for medical services. These same technology and treatment advances also drive increased demand from the general population as a means to improve quality of life. Access to medical insurance, whether through government funded health care plans or private insurance, also affects the demand for medical services.
Foreign Currencies
We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly in Industrial Systems. About one-third of our 2012 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During 2012, average foreign currency rates generally weakened against the U.S. dollar compared to 2011. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars decreased sales by $32 million compared to one year ago. During 2011, average foreign currency rates generally strengthened against the U.S. dollar compared to 2010. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars increased 2011 sales by $32 million compared to 2010.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” The amendment provides an option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. The amendment also enhances the consistency of impairment testing guidance by making impairment testing requirements for indefinite-lived intangible assets equivalent to that of other long-lived assets. The amendment is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this amendment in the first quarter of 2013. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Item 7A. |  | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to interest rate risk from our long-term debt and foreign exchange rate risk related to our foreign operations and foreign currency transactions. To manage these risks, we may enter into derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. In 2012, our derivative instruments consisted of foreign currency forwards.
At September 29, 2012, we had $383 million of borrowings subject to variable interest rates. During 2012, our average borrowings subject to variable interest rates were $332 million and, therefore, if interest rates had been one percentage point higher during 2012, our interest expense would have been $3 million higher.
We also enter into forward contracts to reduce fluctuations in foreign currency cash flows related to third party purchases, intercompany product shipments and to reduce exposure on intercompany balances that are denominated in foreign currencies. We have foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $220 million outstanding at September 29, 2012 that mature at various times through the second quarter of 2014.
Although the majority of our sales, expenses and cash flows are transacted in U.S. dollars, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates such as the euro, British pound and Japanese yen. If average annual foreign exchange rates collectively weakened against the U.S. dollar by 10%, our pre-tax earnings in 2012 would have decreased by $10 million from foreign currency translation. Offsetting that translation decrease would be an $18 million increase from changes in operating margins as a result of foreign currency transactions, primarily from U.S. dollar denominated sales by our foreign operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Moog Inc. and all of our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Year: Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday that is closest to September 30. The consolidated financial statements include 52 weeks for the years ended September 29, 2012, October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010.
Operating Cycle: Consistent with industry practice, aerospace and defense related inventories, unbilled recoverable costs and profits on long-term contract receivables, customer advances and contract loss reserves include amounts relating to contracts having long production and procurement cycles, portions of which are not expected to be realized or settled within one year.
Foreign Currency Translation: Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated using rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and the statements of earnings are translated at the average rates of exchange for each reporting period.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue using either the percentage of completion method for contracts or as units are delivered or services are performed.
Percentage of completion method for contracts: Revenue representing 32% of 2012 sales was accounted for using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting. This method of revenue recognition is predominantly used within the Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls segments due to the contractual nature of the business activities, with the exception of their respective aftermarket activities. The contractual arrangements are either firm fixed-price or cost-plus contracts and are primarily with the U.S. Government or its prime subcontractors, foreign governments or commercial aircraft manufacturers, including Boeing and Airbus. The nature of the contractual arrangements includes customers’ requirements for delivery of hardware as well as funded nonrecurring development work in anticipation of follow-on production orders.
Revenue on contracts using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting is recognized as work progresses toward completion as determined by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods. Changes in estimates affecting sales, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting, resulting in the cumulative effect of changes reflected in the period. Estimates are reviewed and updated quarterly for substantially all contracts. A significant change in an estimate on one or more contracts could have a material effect on our results of operations.
Occasionally, it is appropriate to combine or segment contracts. Contracts are combined in those limited circumstances when they are negotiated as a package in the same economic environment with an overall profit margin objective and constitute, in essence, an agreement to do a single project. In such cases, revenue and costs are recognized over the performance period of the combined contracts as if they were one. Contracts are segmented in limited circumstances if the customer had the right to accept separate elements of the contract and the total amount of the proposals on the separate components approximated the amount of the proposal on the entire project. For segmented contracts, revenue and costs are recognized as if they were separate contracts over the performance periods of the individual elements or phases.
41

Contract costs include only allocable, allowable and reasonable costs, as determined in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the related Cost Accounting Standards for applicable U.S. Government contracts, and are included in cost of sales when incurred. The nature of these costs includes development engineering costs and product manufacturing costs including direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead costs. Contract profit is recorded as a result of the revenue recognized less costs incurred in any reporting period. Amounts representing performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Revenue recognized on contracts for unresolved claims or unapproved contract change orders was not material for 2012, 2011 or 2010.
For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss is charged against income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Contract losses are determined considering all direct and indirect contract costs, exclusive of any selling, general or administrative cost allocations that are treated as period expenses. Loss reserves are more common on firm fixed-price contracts that involve, to varying degrees, the design and development of new and unique controls or control systems to meet the customers’ specifications.
As units are delivered or services are performed: In 2012, 68% of our sales were recognized as units were delivered or as service obligations were satisfied. Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product are transferred to the customer. When engineering or similar services are performed, revenue is recognized upon completion of the obligation including any delivery of engineering drawings or technical data. This method of revenue recognition is predominantly used within the Industrial Systems, Components and Medical Devices segments, as well as with aftermarket activity. Profits are recorded as costs are relieved from inventory and charged to cost of sales and as revenue is recognized. Inventory costs include all product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead cost allocations.
Shipping and Handling Costs: Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.
Research and Development: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include salaries, benefits, consulting, material costs and depreciation.
Bid and Proposal Costs: Bid and proposal costs are expensed as incurred and classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.
Equity-Based Compensation: Equity-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Earnings Per Share: Basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are as follows:

|  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding |  | 45,246,960 |  |  | 45,501,806 |  |  | 45,363,738 |
Dilutive effect of equity-based awards |  | 471,364 |  |  | 545,616 |  |  | 345,282 |
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding |  | 45,718,324 |  |  | 46,047,422 |  |  | 45,709,020 |

Cash and Cash Equivalents: All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts. The allowance is determined by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost-or-market with cost determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of valuation.
42

Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment are depreciated principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings, 15 years for building improvements, 12 years for furniture and fixtures, 10 years for machinery and equipment, 8 years for tooling and test equipment and 3 to 4 years for computer hardware. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.
Goodwill: We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is likely to be below its carrying amount.
We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment that considers economic, industry and company-specific factors for all or selected reporting units. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we proceed to a quantitative test. We may also elect to perform a quantitative test instead of a qualitative test for any or all of our reporting units.
Quantitative testing requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. We use the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. The discounted cash flow method incorporates various assumptions, the most significant being projected revenue growth rates, operating margins and cash flows, the terminal growth rate and the weighted-average cost of capital. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and any loss must be measured. To determine the amount of the impairment loss, the implied fair value of goodwill is determined by assigning a fair value to all of the reporting unit's assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination at fair value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
There were no impairment charges recorded in 2012, 2011 or 2010.
Acquired Intangible Assets: Acquired identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets, including acquired identifiable intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. We use undiscounted cash flows to determine whether impairment exists and measure any impairment loss using discounted cash flows. There were no impairment charges recorded in 2012, 2011 or 2010.
Product Warranties: In the ordinary course of business, we warrant our products against defect in design, materials and workmanship typically over periods ranging from twelve to sixty months. We determine warranty reserves needed by product line based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances. Activity in the warranty accrual is summarized as follows:

|  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010
Warranty accrual at beginning of year |  | $ | 19,247 |  |  | $ | 14,856 |  |  | $ | 14,675 |
Additions from acquisitions |  | 233 |  |  | 120 |  |  | 213 |
Warranties issued during current year |  | 9,842 |  |  | 11,426 |  |  | 6,729 |
Adjustments to pre-existing warranties |  | (460 | ) |  | 713 |  |  | 186 |
Reductions for settling warranties |  | (10,016 | ) |  | (7,865 | ) |  | (6,831 | )
Foreign currency translation |  | 13 |  |  | (3 | ) |  | (116 | )
Warranty accrual at end of year |  | $ | 18,859 |  |  | $ | 19,247 |  |  | $ | 14,856 |

Financial Instruments: Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, notes payable, accounts payable, long-term debt, interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards. The carrying values for our financial instruments approximate fair value with the exception at times of long-term debt. See Note 7, Indebtedness, for fair value of long-term debt. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
43

We carry derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value, determined by reference to quoted market prices. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, the reason for holding it. Our use of derivative instruments is generally limited to cash flow hedges of certain interest rate risks and minimizing foreign currency exposure on foreign currency transactions, which are typically designated in hedging relationships, and intercompany balances, which are not designated as hedging instruments. Cash flows resulting from forward contracts are accounted for as hedges of identifiable transactions or events and classified in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820) - Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements.” This amendment requires separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. The disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2012. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350) - When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” This amendment modifies the criteria for performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, and it requires performing Step 2 if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Any goodwill impairment resulting from the initial adoption of the amendments should be recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Any goodwill impairments occurring after the initial adoption of the amendments should be included in earnings. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, “Business Combinations (ASC Topic 805) - Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” This amendment expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This amendment is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2012. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” The amendments provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments also change certain fair value measurement principles and enhance the disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. We adopted this standard during the second quarter of 2012. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The amendment eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders' equity. The amendment requires all nonowner changes in stockholders' equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendment, which must be applied retrospectively, is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard during the second quarter of 2012. Other than requiring a change in the format of our financial statement presentation, the adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
44

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments of 2011-05.” The amendment allows entities to continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the guidance in place prior to the issuance of ASU No. 2011-05. While the Board is considering the operational concerns about presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments, it stated that the deferral did not affect the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The amendment, which must be applied retrospectively, is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard during the second quarter of 2012. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 - Acquisitions
All of our acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results for the acquired companies are included in the consolidated statements of earnings from the respective dates of acquisition. Under purchase accounting, we record assets and liabilities at fair value and such amounts are reflected in the respective captions on the balance sheet. All of the following acquisitions, with the exception of the 2011 military aftermarket business, resulted in goodwill being recorded as a result of the respective purchase price allocations.
In 2012, we completed four business combinations. Two of these business combinations were in our Components segment. We acquired Protokraft, LLC, based in Tennessee, for $12,500 in cash plus contingent consideration with an initial fair value of $4,809. Protokraft designs and manufacturers opto-electronic transceivers, ethernet switches and media converters packaged into rugged, environmentally-sealed connectors. We also acquired Tritech International Limited, based in the UK, for $32,921, net of cash acquired. Tritech is a leading designer and manufacturer of high performance acoustic sensors, sonars, video cameras and mechanical tooling equipment. We also completed two business combinations in our Space and Defense Controls segment. We acquired Bradford Engineering, based in the Netherlands, for $13,173, net of cash acquired. Bradford is a developer and manufacturer of satellite equipment including attitude control, propulsion and thermal control subsystems. We also acquired In-Space Propulsion for $45,495, net of cash acquired. In-Space Propulsion has locations in New York, California, Ireland and the United Kingdom and is a developer and manufacturer of liquid propulsion systems and components for satellites and missile defense systems.
In 2011, we completed three business combinations within two of our segments. We completed two business combinations within our Aircraft Controls segment, both of which are located in the U.S. We acquired Crossbow Technology Inc., based in California, for $31,999, net of cash acquired. Crossbow designs and manufactures acceleration sensors that are integrated into inertial navigation and guidance systems used in a variety of aerospace, defense and transportation applications. We also acquired a business that complements our military aftermarket business for $2,373 in cash. We completed one business combination within our Components segment by acquiring Animatics Corporation, based in California. The purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $24,045, which included 466,541 shares of Moog Class A common stock valued at $18,739 and $1,837 of debt assumed. Animatics supplies integrated servos, linear actuators and control electronics that are used in a variety of industrial, medical and defense applications.
The purchase price allocations for the 2011 acquisitions are complete. Allocations for the 2012 acquisitions are subject to subsequent adjustment as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the respective measurement periods.
45

Note 3 - Receivables
Receivables consist of:

|  | September 29, 2012 |  | October 1, 2011
Accounts receivable |  | $ | 338,000 |  |  | $ | 338,381 |
Long-term contract receivables: |  |  |  |
Amounts billed |  | 114,482 |  |  | 94,420 |
Unbilled recoverable costs and accrued profits |  | 286,887 |  |  | 216,667 |
Total long-term contract receivables |  | 401,369 |  |  | 311,087 |
Other |  | 10,936 |  |  | 11,055 |
Total receivables |  | 750,305 |  |  | 660,523 |
Less allowance for doubtful accounts |  | (5,754 | ) |  | (4,718 | )
Receivables |  | $ | 744,551 |  |  | $ | 655,805 |

On March 5, 2012, we entered into a trade receivables securitization facility (the Securitization Program). Under the Securitization Program, we securitize certain trade receivables in transactions that are accounted for as secured borrowings. We maintain a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables that are securitized. The retained interest, which is included in receivables in the balance sheet, is recorded at fair value, which approximates the total amount of the designated pool of accounts receivable. See Note 7, Indebtedness, for additional disclosures related to the Securitization Program.
Long-term contract receivables are primarily associated with prime contractors and subcontractors in connection with U.S. Government contracts, commercial aircraft and satellite manufacturers. Amounts billed under long-term contracts to the U.S. Government were $7,413 at September 29, 2012 and $12,237 at October 1, 2011. Unbilled recoverable costs and accrued profits under long-term contracts to be billed to the U.S. Government were $4,223 at September 29, 2012 and $6,861 at October 1, 2011. Unbilled recoverable costs and accrued profits principally represent revenues recognized on contracts that were not billable on the balance sheet date. These amounts will be billed in accordance with contract terms, generally as certain milestones are reached or upon shipment. Approximately three-quarters of unbilled amounts are expected to be collected within one year. In situations where billings exceed revenues recognized, the excess is included in customer advances.
There are no material amounts of claims or unapproved change orders included in the balance sheet. Balances billed but not paid by customers under retainage provisions are not material.
Concentrations of credit risk on receivables are limited to those from significant customers who are believed to be financially sound. Receivables from Boeing were $139,287 at September 29, 2012 and $117,072 at October 1, 2011. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral.

Customer-related intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships. Program-related intangibles assets consist of long-term programs represented by current contracts and probable follow on work. Technology-related intangible assets primarily consist of technology, patents, intellectual property and software. Marketing-related intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks, trade names and non-compete agreements. Contract-related intangible assets consist of favorable operating lease terms. We have $5,113 of identifiable assets with indefinite lives in marketing-related intangibles at September 29, 2012.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $31,235 in 2012, $28,948 in 2011 and $28,280 in 2010. Based on acquired intangible assets recorded at September 29, 2012, amortization is estimated to be $29,510 in 2013, $26,344 in 2014, $23,301 in 2015, $21,800 in 2016 and $18,452 in 2017.

Note 7 - Indebtedness
Short-term borrowings consist of:

|  | September 29, 2012 |  | October 1, 2011
Securitization program |  | $ | 81,800 |  |  | $ | — |
Lines of credit |  | 8,974 |  |  | 8,426 |
Other short-term debt |  | — |  |  | 857 |
Short-term borrowings |  | $ | 90,774 |  |  | $ | 9,283 |

On March 5, 2012, we entered into a securitization program which matures on March 4, 2013 and which effectively increases our borrowing capacity by up to $100,000. Under the securitization program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. The securitization program can be extended by agreement of the parties for successive 364-day terms. Interest for the securitization program is 0.9% at September 29, 2012 and is based on prevailing market rates for short-term commercial paper plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material. The agreement governing the securitization program contains restrictions and covenants which include limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and sale of substantially all assets. We are in compliance with all covenants.
In addition to the securitization program we maintain short-term credit facilities with banks throughout the world that are principally demand lines subject to revision by the banks. Interest on outstanding lines of credit is 1.9% at September 29, 2012.
Long-term debt consists of:

|  | September 29, 2012 |  | October 1, 2011
U.S. revolving credit facility |  | $ | 292,026 |  |  | $ | 332,874 |

Less current installments |  | (3,186 | ) |  | (1,407 | )
Long-term debt |  | $ | 670,662 |  |  | $ | 714,757 |

Our U.S. revolving credit facility consists of a $900,000 revolver, which matures on March 18, 2016. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets. The loan agreement contains various covenants which, among others, specify interest coverage and maximum leverage and capital expenditures. We are in compliance with all covenants. Interest on the majority of the outstanding credit facility borrowings is 1.9% and is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 150 basis points at September 29, 2012. Interest on the remaining outstanding credit facility borrowings is 3.8% and is based on prime plus the applicable margin, which was 75 basis points at September 29, 2012.
Term loans at September 29, 2012 consist of loans being repaid through 2014 that carry interest rates of 5.6%.
Our 6¼% senior subordinated notes are due January 15, 2015, with interest paid semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year. Our 7¼% senior subordinated notes are due June 15, 2018, with interest paid semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. Both the 6¼% and 7¼% senior subordinated notes are unsecured, general obligations, subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness and contain normal incurrence-based covenants.

Maturities of long-term debt are $3,186 in 2013, $57 in 2014, $187,004 in 2015, $292,026 in 2016, $0 in 2017 and $191,575 thereafter.
At September 29, 2012, we had pledged assets with a net book value of $1,453,831 as security for long-term debt.
Our only financial instrument for which the carrying value at times differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At September 29, 2012, the fair value of long-term debt was $686,741 compared to its carrying value of $673,848. The fair value of long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market prices.
At September 29, 2012, we had $607,928 of unused short and long-term borrowing capacity, including $594,443 from the U.S. credit facility. Commitment fees are charged on some of these arrangements and on the U.S. credit facility based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and are not material.
Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments
We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions and interest rate risk associated with long-term debt . We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
We use foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, primarily the Philippine peso, we had outstanding foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $26,626 at September 29, 2012. These contracts mature at various times through the second quarter of 2014.
Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. There were no outstanding interest rate swaps at September 29, 2012.
These foreign currency forwards and interest rate swaps are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into expense during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the payments being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in 2012, 2011 or 2010.
Activity in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI) related to these derivatives is summarized below:

|  | September 29, 2012 |  | October 1, 2011
Balance at beginning of period |  | $ | (165 | ) |  | $ | 144 |

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
We also have foreign currency exposure on intercompany balances that are denominated in a foreign currency and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the statements of earnings. To minimize foreign currency exposure, we have foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $193,325 at September 29, 2012. The foreign currency forwards are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the statements of earnings. We recorded net losses of $4,192 in 2012 and $3,994 in 2011 on the foreign currency forwards. These losses are included in other expense and generally offset the gains from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other income or expense.

Note 9 - Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.
The following table presents the fair values and classification of our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of September 29, 2012:

| Classification | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total
Foreign currency forwards | Other current assets | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1,923 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1,923 |

Note 10 - Restructuring
In 2009, we initiated restructuring plans to better align our cost structure with lower sales activity associated with the global recession. The restructuring actions taken are complete and have resulted in workforce reductions, primarily in the U.S., the Philippines and Europe.
Restructuring expense by segment is as follows:

Note 11 - Employee Benefit Plans
We maintain multiple employee benefit plans, covering employees at certain locations.
Our qualified U.S. defined benefit pension plan is not open to new entrants. New employees are not eligible to participate in the pension plan. Instead, we make contributions for those employees to an employee-directed investment fund in the Moog Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (RSP). The Company’s contributions are based on a percentage of the employee’s eligible compensation and age. These contributions are in addition to the employer match on voluntary employee contributions.
The RSP includes an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. As one of the investment alternatives, participants in the RSP can acquire our stock at market value. We match 25% of the first 2% of eligible compensation contributed to any investment selection. Shares are allocated and compensation expense is recognized as the employer share match is earned. At September 29, 2012, the participants in the RSP owned 735,643 Class A shares and 1,954,685 Class B shares.
The changes in projected benefit obligations and plan assets and the funded status of the U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit plans are as follows:

The total accumulated benefit obligation as of the measurement date for all defined benefit pension plans was $832,303 in 2012 and $692,601 in 2011. At the measurement date in 2012, our plans had fair values of plan assets totaling $525,471. At the measurement date in 2012, three of our plans had fair values of plan assets totaling $37,798, which exceeded their accumulated benefit obligations of $33,438. At the measurement date in 2011, two of our plans had fair values of plan assets totaling $17,856, which exceeded their accumulated benefit obligations of $13,746. The following table provides aggregate information for the other pension plans, which have projected benefit obligations or accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets:

|  | September 29, 2012 |  | October 1, 2011
Projected benefit obligation |  | $ | 892,005 |  |  | $ | 748,495 |
Accumulated benefit obligation |  | 798,865 |  |  | 678,855 |
Fair value of plan assets |  | 487,673 |  |  | 440,422 |

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations as of the measurement dates and weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

| U.S. Plans |  | Non-U.S. Plans
| 2012 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |

Pension plan investment policies and strategies are developed on a plan specific basis, which varies by country. At September 29, 2012, the U.S. plans represented 84% of consolidated pension assets, while the non-U.S. plans represented 16% of consolidated pension assets, the largest concentration being in the U.K. (6%). The overall objective for the long-term expected return on both domestic and international plan assets is to earn a rate of return over time to meet anticipated benefit payments in accordance with plan provisions. The long-term investment objective of both the domestic and international retirement plans is to maintain the economic value of plan assets and future contributions by producing positive rates of investment return after subtracting inflation, benefit payments and expenses. Each of the plan’s strategic asset allocations is based on this long-term perspective and short-term fluctuations are viewed with appropriate perspective.
The U.S. qualified defined benefit plan’s assets are invested for long-term investment results. To accommodate the long-term investment horizon while providing appropriate liquidity, the plan maintains a liquid cash reserve of one-month to three-months of benefit distributions. Its assets are broadly diversified to help alleviate the risk of adverse returns in any one security or investment class. The international plans’ assets are invested in both low-risk and high-risk investments in order to achieve the long-term investment strategy objective. Investment risks for both domestic and international plans are considered within the context of the entire plan, rather than on a security-by-security basis.
The U.S. qualified defined benefit plan and certain international plans have investment committees that are responsible for formulating investment policies, developing manager guidelines and objectives and approving and managing qualified advisors and investment managers. The guidelines established for each of the plans define permitted investments within each asset class and apply certain restrictions such as limits on concentrated holdings in order to meet overall investment objectives.
Pension obligations and the related costs are determined using actuarial valuations that involve several assumptions. The return on assets assumption reflects the average rate of return expected on funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. In determining the return on assets assumption, we consider the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan assets and individual asset classes and economic and other indicators of future performance. Asset management objectives include maintaining an adequate level of diversification to reduce interest rate and market risk and to provide adequate liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit payment requirements.

In determining our U.S. pension expense for 2012, we assumed an average rate of return on U.S. pension assets of approximately 8.9% measured over a planning horizon with reasonable and acceptable levels of risk. The rate of return assumed an average of 80% in equity securities and 20% in fixed income securities. In determining our non-U.S. pension expense for 2012, we assumed an average rate of return on non-U.S. pension assets of approximately 5.5% measured over a planning horizon with reasonable and acceptable levels of risk. The rate of return assumed an average asset allocation of 40% in equity securities and 60% in fixed income securities.
The weighted average asset allocations by asset category for the pension plans as of September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011 are as follows:

| U.S. Plans |  | Non-U.S. Plans
| Target |  | 2012 Actual |  | 2011 Actual |  | Target |  | 2012 Actual |  | 2011 Actual
Asset category: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Equity | 50%-85% |  | 82 | % |  | 74 | % |  | 40%-60% |  | 39 | % |  | 43 | %
Debt | 15%-30% |  | 15 | % |  | 14 | % |  | 40%-60% |  | 60 | % |  | 55 | %
Real estate and other | 0%-20% |  | 3 | % |  | 12 | % |  | 0%-10% |  | 1 | % |  | 2 | %

The valuation methodologies used for pension plan assets measured at fair value have not changed in the past two years. Cash and cash equivalents consist of direct cash holdings and institutional short-term investment vehicles. Direct cash holdings are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Institutional short-term investment vehicles are valued daily. Investments in U.S. treasury obligations are valued by a pricing service based upon closing market prices at year end. Shares of registered investment companies are valued at net asset value of shares held by the plan at year end. Common stocks traded on national exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the last reported exchange rate. Fixed income funds, which primarily consist of corporate and government bonds, are valued using methods, such as dealer quotes, available trade information, spreads, bids and offers provided by a pricing vendor. Investments in limited partnerships are valued based on the net asset value of our share in the fair value of the investments at year end. Common collective trust funds consist of pools of investments used by institutional investors to obtain exposure to equity and fixed income markets. Common collective trust funds held by us invest primarily in investment grade, U.S. denominated fixed income securities. The common collective trusts have no unfunded commitments at September 29, 2012, and there are no significant restrictions on redemptions. Shares held in common collective trust funds are reported at the net unit value of units held by the trust at year end. The unit value is determined by the total value of fund assets divided by the total number of units of the fund owned. Investments in insurance contracts are valued at contract value, which is the fair value of the underlying investment of the insurance company. Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations do not represent the value at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established under the supervision and responsibility of the Custodian of that investment.
Such procedures may include the use of independent pricing services or affiliated advisor pricing, which use prices based upon yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, operating data and general market conditions.
The preceding methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although we believe the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
Pension expense for all plans, including costs for various defined contribution plans, is as follows:

| U.S. Plans |  | Non-U.S. Plans
| 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010 |  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010

The estimated net prior service (credit) and net actuarial loss that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost for pension plans in 2013 are ($55) and $29,348, respectively.
Benefits expected to be paid to the participants of the plans are:

|  | U.S. Plans |  | Non-U.S. Plans
2013 |  | $ | 20,200 |  |  | $ | 4,198 |
2014 |  | 23,170 |  |  | 4,503 |

2017 |  | 29,585 |  |  | 6,321 |
Five years thereafter |  | 191,882 |  |  | 37,194 |

We presently anticipate contributing approximately $31,500 to the U.S. plans and $7,300 to the non-U.S. plans in 2013.
We provide postretirement health care benefits to certain domestic retirees, who were hired prior to October 1, 1989. There are no plan assets. The transition obligation is being expensed over 20 years through 2013. The changes in the accumulated benefit obligation of this unfunded plan for 2012 and 2011 are shown in the following table:

|  | September 29, 2012 |  | October 1, 2011
Change in Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation (APBO): |  |  |  |
APBO at prior year measurement date |  | $ | 18,025 |  |  | $ | 23,860 |
Service cost |  | 330 |  |  | 491 |
Interest cost |  | 785 |  |  | 1,103 |
Contributions by plan participants |  | 1,510 |  |  | 1,453 |

Actuarial (gains) losses |  | (604 | ) |  | 52 |
Amount recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, before taxes |  | $ | (243 | ) |  | $ | 808 |

The cost of the postretirement benefit plan is as follows:

|  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010
Service cost |  | $ | 330 |  |  | $ | 491 |  |  | $ | 571 |
Interest cost |  | 785 |  |  | 1,103 |  |  | 1,345 |
Amortization of transition obligation |  | 394 |  |  | 394 |  |  | 394 |
Amortization of prior service cost |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 215 |
Amortization of actuarial loss |  | — |  |  | 579 |  |  | 842 |
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost |  | $ | 1,509 |  |  | $ | 2,567 |  |  | $ | 3,367 |

The estimated transition obligation and actuarial gain that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic postretirement benefit cost in 2013 are $361 and $0, respectively.
As of the measurement date, the assumed discount rate used in the accounting for the postretirement benefit obligation was 3.3% in 2012, 4.5% in 2011 and 4.8% in 2010. As of the measurement date, the assumed discount rate used in the accounting for the net periodic postretirement benefit cost was 4.5% in 2012, 4.8% in 2011 and 5.5% in 2010.
For measurement purposes, a 7.6%, 6.8% and 8.1% annual per capita rate of increase of medical and drug costs before age 65, medical costs after age 65 and drug costs after age 65, respectively, were assumed for 2012, all gradually decreasing to 4.5% for 2028 and years thereafter. A one percentage point increase in this rate would increase our accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of the measurement date in 2012 by $696, while a one
59

percentage point decrease in this rate would decrease our accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $642. A one percentage point increase or decrease in this rate would not have a material effect on the total service cost and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost.

At September 29, 2012, various subsidiaries had tax benefit carryforwards totaling $37,285. These tax benefit carryforwards generally do not expire and can be used to reduce current taxes otherwise due on future earnings of those subsidiaries. The change in the valuation allowance relates to tax benefit carryforwards reflecting recent and projected financial performance, tax planning strategies and statutory tax carryforward periods.
No provision has been made for U.S. federal or foreign taxes on that portion of certain foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings ($598,280 at September 29, 2012) considered to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to determine the amount of tax that would be payable if these amounts were repatriated to the U.S.
The components of income taxes are as follows:

|  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010
Current: |  |  |  |  |  |
Federal |  | $ | 34,361 |  |  | $ | 14,307 |  |  | $ | 10,642 |

Income taxes |  | $ | 56,379 |  |  | $ | 47,764 |  |  | $ | 41,342 |

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent, in part, upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making its assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in various states and foreign jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require the application of significant judgment. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009. The statute of limitations in several jurisdictions will expire in the next twelve months and we have unrecognized tax benefits of $2,173, which would be recognized if the statute of limitations expires without the relevant taxing authority examining the applicable returns.
We record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. We had accrued interest and penalties of $1,473 and $1,634 at September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively. We expensed interest of $368 and $585 for 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Note 13 - Shareholders’ Equity
Class A and Class B common stock share equally in our earnings and are identical with certain exceptions. Other than on matters relating to the election of directors or as required by law where the holders of Class A and Class B shares vote as separate classes, Class A shares have limited voting rights, with each share of Class A being entitled to one-tenth of a vote on most matters, and each share of Class B being entitled to one vote. Class A shareholders are entitled, subject to certain limitations, to elect at least 25% of the Board of Directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) with Class B shareholders entitled to elect the balance of the directors. No cash dividend may be paid on Class B shares unless at least an equal cash dividend is paid on Class A shares. Class B shares are convertible at any time into Class A shares on a one-for-one basis at the option of the shareholder. The number of common shares issued reflects conversion of Class B to Class A of 40,549 in 2012, 49,158 in 2011 and 14,044 in 2010.
Class A shares reserved for issuance at September 29, 2012 are as follows:

| Shares
Conversion of Class B to Class A shares | 7,704,589 |
2008 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan | 1,928,956 |
2003 Stock Option Plan | 1,131,852 |
1998 Stock Option Plan | 157,861 |
Class A shares reserved for issuance | 10,923,258 |

We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board of Directors may authorize, without further shareholder action, the issuance of additional preferred stock which ranks senior to both classes of our common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation. The preferred stock, when issued, would have such designations relative to voting and conversion rights, preferences, privileges and limitations as determined by the Board of Directors.

Note 14 - Equity-Based Compensation
We have equity-based compensation plans that authorize the issuance of equity-based awards for shares of Class A common stock to directors, officers and key employees. Equity-based compensation grants are designed to reward long-term contributions to Moog and provide incentives for recipients to remain with Moog.
Equity-based compensation expense is based on share-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Vesting requirements vary for directors, officers and key employees. In general, options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) granted to outside directors vest one year from the date of grant, options granted to officers vest on various schedules, options granted to key employees vest in equal annual increments over a period of five years from the date of grant and SARs granted to officers and key employees vest in equal annual installments over a period of three years from the date of grant.
The fair value of equity-based awards granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table provides the range of assumptions used to value equity-based awards and the weighted-average fair value of the awards granted.

|  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010
Expected volatility |  | 40% - 42% |  |  | 39% - 49% |  |  | 37% - 46% |
Risk-free rate |  | .5% - 1.4% |  |  | .8% - 2.0% |  |  | 1.1% - 2.8% |
Expected dividends |  | — | % |  | — | % |  | — | %
Expected term |  | 3-7 years |  |  | 3-7 years |  |  | 3-7 years |
Weighted-average fair value of SARs granted |  | $ | 16.92 |  |  | $ | 15.25 |  |  | $ | 10.92 |

To determine expected volatility, we generally use historical volatility based on weekly closing prices of our Class A common stock over periods that correlate with the expected terms of the awards granted. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the appropriate term of the awards granted. Expected dividends are based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected term of equity-based awards is based on vesting schedules, expected exercise patterns and contractual terms.
The 2008 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (2008 Plan) authorizes the issuance of 2,000,000 SARs, which represent the right to receive shares of Class A common stock. The exercise price of the SARs, determined by a committee of the Board of Directors, may not be less than the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the grant date. The number of shares received upon exercise of a SAR is equal in value to the difference between the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the exercise date and the exercise price of the SAR. The term of a SAR may not exceed ten years from the grant date.
The 2003 Stock Option Plan (2003 Plan) authorizes the issuance of options for 1,350,000 shares of Class A common stock. The 1998 Stock Option Plan (1998 Plan) authorizes the issuance of options for 2,025,000 shares of Class A common stock. Under the terms of the plans, options may be either incentive or non-qualified. Options outstanding as of September 29, 2012 consisted of both incentive options and non-qualified options. The exercise price, determined by a committee of the Board of Directors, may not be less than the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the grant date. Options become exercisable over periods not exceeding ten years.
Options and SARs are as follows:

Slip rings and fiber optic rotary joints use sliding contacts and optical technology to allow unimpeded rotation while delivering power and data through a rotating interface. They come in a range of sizes that allow them to be used in many applications, including diagnostic imaging CT scan medical equipment featuring high-speed data communications, de-icing and data transfer for rotorcraft, forward-looking infrared camera installations, radar pedestals, satellites, missiles, wind turbines, surveillance cameras and remotely operated vehicles and floating platforms for offshore oil exploration. Our motors are used in an equally broad range of markets, many of which are the same as for slip rings. Components designs and manufactures a series of fractional horsepower brushless motors that provide extremely low acoustic noise and reliable long life operation, with the largest market being sleep apnea equipment. Industrial markets use our motors for material handling and electric pumps. Military applications use our motors for gimbals, missiles and radar pedestals. Components’ other product lines include electromechanical actuators for military, aerospace and commercial applications, fiber optic modems that provide electrical-to-optical conversion of communication and data signals, avionic instrumentation, optical switches and resolvers.
66

Medical Devices. This segment operates within four medical devices market areas: infusion therapy, enteral clinical nutrition, sensors and surgical hand pieces. For infusion therapy, our primary products are electronic ambulatory infusion pumps along with the associated administration sets. Applications of these products include hydration, nutrition, patient-controlled analgesia, local anesthesia, chemotherapy and antibiotics. We manufacture and distribute a complete line of portable pumps, stationary pumps and disposable sets that are used in the delivery of enteral nutrition for patients in their own homes, hospitals and long-term care facilities. We manufacture and distribute ultrasonic and optical sensors used to detect air bubbles in infusion pump lines and ensure accurate fluid delivery. Our surgical hand pieces are used to safely fragment and aspirate tissue in common medical procedures such as cataract removal.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Moog Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Moog Inc. as of September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 29, 2012. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Moog Inc. at September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 29, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Moog Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of September 29, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated November 20, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 29, 2012 based upon the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of September 29, 2012.
We completed four acquisitions in 2012, which were excluded from our management’s report on internal control over financial reporting as of September 29, 2012. On December 15, 2011, we acquired Bradford Engineering. On March 13, 2012, we acquired Protokraft. On July 31, 2012, we acquired In Space Propulsion. On August 22, 2012, we acquired Tritech International. All of these acquisitions are included in our 2012 consolidated financial statements and collectively constituted $139 million and $114 million of total and net assets, respectively, as of September 29, 2012 and $23.2 million and $(0.4) million of net sales and net loss, respectively, for the year then ended.
Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, has audited our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, as part of their audit, has issued their report, included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Moog Inc.
We have audited Moog Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of September 29, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Moog Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As indicated in the accompanying Management's Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management's assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Bradford Engineering acquired on December 15, 2011, Protokraft acquired on March 13, 2012, In Space Propulsion acquired on July 31, 2012, and Tritech International acquired on August 22, 2012, which are included in the 2012 consolidated financial statements of Moog Inc. and collectively constituted
$139 million and $114 million of total and net assets, respectively, as of September 29, 2012 and $23.2 million and $(0.4) million of revenues and net loss, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Moog Inc. also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Bradford Engineering, Protokraft, In Space Propulsion, and Tritech International.
In our opinion, Moog Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 29, 2012, based on the COSO criteria.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Moog Inc. as of September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 29, 2012 of Moog Inc. and our report dated November 20, 2012 expressed and unqualified opinion thereon.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
