PART I
Item 1. Business
The information set forth under “Company Description” which appears on pages 5 through 9 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders is incorporated herein by reference. For information as to export sales, see the information set forth under “Notes to Financial Statements-Export Sales” included on page 32 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Emerging Technologies
Automotive vehicle access systems, which are both theft deterrent and end user friendly, are being developed as mechanical-electrical devices. Electronic companies are developing user identification systems such as bio-systems, card holder (transmitter) systems, etc., while locks and door latches are evolving to accommodate the electronics. This will result in more secure vehicles and eventually passive entry and passive start. The Company believes it is positioning itself as a vehicle security system supplier by building its product, engineering and manufacturing expertise in the required electro-mechanical products, which include vehicle access latches, keys with assembled remote entry electronic systems, and passive entry systems.
Innovations in alternative materials could eliminate the need for grease and hexavalent chromium, reduce mass and offer potential cost reductions for suppliers and original equipment manufacturers.
These technologies benefit the Company by increasing the potential customer base as a tier 2 supplier while attaining tier 1 status on some product lines and adding additional product line availability.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
The primary raw materials used by the Company are high-grade zinc, brass, magnesium, aluminum and plastic resins. These materials are generally available from a number of suppliers, but the Company has chosen to concentrate its sourcing with one primary vendor for each commodity. The Company believes its sources for raw materials are very reliable and adequate for its needs. The Company has not experienced any significant long term supply problems in its operations and does not anticipate any significant supply problems in the foreseeable future. See further discussion under “Risk Factors-Sources of and Fluctuations in Market Prices of Raw Materials” included on page 16 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Patents, Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property
The Company believes that the success of its business will not only result from the technical competence, creativity and marketing abilities of its employees but also from the protection of its intellectual property through patents, trademarks and copyrights. As part of its ongoing research, development and manufacturing activities, the Company has a policy of seeking patents on new products, processes and improvements when appropriate.
Although, in the aggregate, the patents discussed above are of considerable importance to the manufacturing and marketing of many of its products, the Company does not consider any single patent or trademark or group of patents or trademarks to be material to its business as a whole, except for the STRATTEC and STRATTEC with logo trademarks.
The Company also relies upon trade secret protection for its confidential and proprietary information. The Company maintains confidentiality agreements with its key executives. In addition, the Company enters into confidentiality agreements with selected suppliers, consultants and associates as appropriate to evaluate new products or business relationships pertinent to the success of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that others will not independently obtain similar information and techniques or otherwise gain access to the Company’s trade secrets or that the Company can effectively protect its trade secrets.

Dependence Upon Significant Customers
A very significant portion of the Company’s annual sales are to General Motors Corporation, Delphi Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and DaimlerChrysler Corporation. These four customers accounted for approximately 80 percent, 82 percent and 81 percent of the Company’s total net sales in each fiscal year 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Further information regarding sales to the Company’s largest customers is set forth under “Loss of Significant Customers, Vehicle Content and Market Share” included on page 16 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders and “Notes to Financial Statements-Sales and Receivable Concentration” included on page 32 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The products sold to these customers are model specific, fitting only certain defined applications. Consequently, the Company is highly dependent on its major customers for their business, and on these customers’ ability to produce and sell vehicles which utilize the Company’s products. The Company has enjoyed relationships with General Motors Corporation, DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and Delphi Corporation in the past, and expects to do so in the future. However, a significant change in the purchasing practices of, or a significant loss of volume from, one or more of these customers could have a detrimental effect on the Company’s financial performance. The Company has added resources and increased its emphasis on the New Domestic and the Tier 1 customer base.
Due primarily to the economic pressures affecting Mitsubishi, they have informed the Company that they intend to consolidate the purchase of their lockset requirements with their Japanese supplier for the 2007 model year. As a result, in fiscal 2007, supply of production requirements to Mitsubishi will continue on a limited basis. Mitsubishi represented approximately 3.0 percent and 2.4 percent of the Company’s fiscal 2006 and 2005 sales, respectively.
Sales and Marketing
The Company provides its customers with engineered locksets, steering column lock housings and latches, which are unique to specific vehicles. Any given vehicle will typically take 1 to 3 years of development and engineering design time prior to being offered to the public. The locksets, lock housings and latches are designed concurrently with the vehicle. Therefore, commitment to the Company as the production source occurs 1 to 3 years prior to the start of production. The Company employs an engineering staff that assists in providing design and technical solutions to its customers. The Company believes that its engineering expertise is a competitive advantage and contributes toward its strong market position. For example, the Company believes it has recently provided innovative design proposals for new model ignition locks, door locks, tailgate latches and ignition housing locks to its customers that will improve vehicle security system quality, theft deterrence and system cost.
The typical process used by automotive manufacturers in selecting a lock, lock housing or latch supplier is to offer the business opportunity to the Company and several of the Company’s competitors. Each competitor will pursue the opportunity, doing its best to provide the customer with the most attractive proposal. Price pressure is strong during this process but once an agreement is reached, the price is fixed for each year of the product program. Typically, price reductions resulting from productivity improvement by the Company are included in the contract and are estimated in evaluating each of these opportunities by the Company. A blanket purchase order, a contract indicating a specified part will be supplied at a specified price during a defined time period, is issued by customers for each model year. Product run releases or quantity commitments are made to that purchase order for weekly deliveries to the customer. As a consequence and because the Company is a “Just-in-Time” supplier to the automotive industry, it does not maintain a backlog of orders in the classic sense for future production and shipment.
Competition
The Company competes with domestic and foreign-based competitors on the basis of custom product design, engineering support, quality, delivery and price. While the number of direct competitors is currently relatively small, the automotive manufacturers actively encourage competition between potential suppliers. The Company has a dominant share of the North American market because of its ability to provide total value, which is a beneficial combination of price, quality, technical support, program management innovation and aftermarket support. In order to reduce lockset or housing production costs while still offering a wide range of technical support, the Company utilizes assembly and component manufacturing operations in Mexico, which results in lower labor costs as compared to the United States.

As locks become more sophisticated and involve additional electronics, competitors with specific electronic expertise may emerge to challenge the Company. To address this, the Company is strengthening its electrical engineering knowledge and service. It is also working with several electronics suppliers to jointly develop and supply these advanced products.
The Company’s lockset and housing competitors include Huf North America, Ushin-Ortech, Tokai-Rika, Alpha-Tech Valeo, Methode, Shin Chang, and Pollak. For additional information related to competition, see the information set forth under “Risk Factors-Highly Competitive Automotive Supply Industry” included on page 17 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Research and Development
The Company engages in research and development activities pertinent to automotive access control. A major area of focus for research is the expanding role of vehicle access via electronic interlocks and modes of communicating authorization data between consumers and vehicles. Development activities include new products, applications and product performance improvement. In addition, specialized data collection equipment is developed to facilitate increased product development efficiency and continuous quality improvements. For fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, the Company spent approximately $2,200,000, $2,000,000, and $1,600,000, respectively, on research and development. The Company believes that, historically, it has committed sufficient resources to research and development and anticipates increasing such expenditures in the future as required to support additional product programs associated with both existing and new customers. Patents are pursued and will continue to be pursued as appropriate to protect the Company’s interests resulting from these activities.
Customer Tooling
The Company incurs costs related to tooling used in component production and assembly. See the information set forth under “Notes to Financial Statements-Customer Tooling in Progress” included on pages 22 and 23 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Environmental Compliance
As is the case with other manufacturers, the Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and other legal requirements relating to the generation, storage, transport, treatment and disposal of materials as a result of its housing, lock and key manufacturing and assembly operations. These laws include the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (as amended), the Clean Air Act (as amended), the Clean Water Act of 1990 (as amended) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (as amended). The Company has an environmental management system that is ISO-14001 certified. The Company believes that its existing environmental management system is adequate and it has no current plans for substantial capital expenditures in the environmental area.
As discussed in “Notes to Financial Statements-Commitments and Contingencies” included on page 27 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference, a site at the Company’s Milwaukee facility is contaminated by a solvent spill from an above-ground solvent storage tank located on the east side of the facility, which occurred in 1985. This situation is being monitored by the Company.
The Company does not currently anticipate any materially adverse impact on its financial statements or competitive position as a result of compliance with federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws or other legal requirements. However, risk of environmental liability and charges associated with maintaining compliance with environmental laws is inherent in the nature of the Company’s business and there is no assurance that material liabilities or charges could not arise.
Employees
At July 2, 2006, the Company had approximately 1,900 full-time employees, of which approximately 278 or 15% percent were represented by a labor union, which accounts for all production associates at the Company’s Milwaukee facility. In June 2005, a new contract with the unionized associates was ratified and is effective through June 29, 2008. During June 2001, there was a 16-day strike by the represented employees at the Company’s Milwaukee facility. Further information regarding the strike, work stoppages and other labor matters are discussed under “Risk Factors-Disruptions Due to Work Stoppages and Other labor Matters” included on pages 16 and 17 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that the Company files with or submits to the Commission. It should be noted that in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company has designed its disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level of reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and based on the evaluation described above, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at reaching that level of reasonable assurance.
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended July 2, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The report of management required under this Item 9a is included on page 33 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders under the heading “Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting” and is incorporated herein by reference.
The attestation report required under this Item 9a is included on page 34 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9B. Other Information
On August 22, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the Economic Value Added (“EVA”) Plan for Executive Officers and Senior Managers (the “EVA Plan”), the purpose of which is to provide incentive compensation to certain key employees, including all executive officers, in a form which relates the financial reward to an increase in the value of the Company to its shareholders. A Copy of the amended EVA Plan is attached hereto as an exhibit and is incorporated herein by reference.
The EVA Plan was amended to provide that those persons designated as “Executive Officers” under the EVA Plan shall not be entitled to receive a bonus in any plan year in which no bonuses are paid to participants in the Company’s Economic Value Added Bonus Plan for Salaried Employees or the Company’s Economic Value Added Bonus Plan for Represented Employee Associates. Instead, such amounts are added to, and are subject to, the Executive Officer’s at risk “Bonus Bank,” as described in the terms of the EVA Plan.
In addition to the foregoing amendment, the EVA Plan was amended to make certain clerical changes and changes to ensure certain payments made under the EVA Plan comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
