Allegheny Technologies Incorporated is a Delaware corporation with its principal executive offices located at 1000 Six PPG Place, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222-5479, telephone number (412) 394-2800. References to "Allegheny Technologies," the "Company", the "Registrant", "we", "our" and "us" and similar terms mean Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. OUR BUSINESS Specialty materials play a significant role in our lives. Allegheny Technologies is a world leader in the manufacture of both high value and commodity specialty products. Our high value products accounted for 69% of total sales in 2002 and our commodity products accounted for 31% of total sales in 2002. Specialty materials are produced in a variety of forms, including sheet, strip, foil, plate, slab, ingot, billet, bar, rod, wire, coil, tubing, and shapes, and are selected for use in environments that demand materials having exceptional hardness, toughness, strength, resistance to heat, corrosion or abrasion, or a combination of these characteristics. Common end uses of our products include jet engines, air frames, electrical energy production and generation, automotive, chemical processing, oil and gas, construction and mining, machine and cutting tools, appliances and food equipment, transportation, and medical equipment and implants. 3 Flat-Rolled Products Segment Our Flat-Rolled Product segment produces, converts and distributes stainless steel, nickel-based alloys and superalloys, and titanium and titanium-based alloys, in sheet, strip, plate and foil, and Precision Rolled Strip(R) products, as well as silicon electrical steels and tool steels. The operations in this segment are Allegheny Ludlum, Allegheny Rodney, Rome Metals and Allegheny Ludlum's 60% interest in the Chinese joint venture company known as Shanghai STAL Precision Stainless Steel Company Limited ("STAL"), which commenced commercial production in 2000. The remaining 40% interest in STAL is owned by the Baosteel Group, a state authorized investment company whose equity securities are publicly traded in the People's Republic of China. Stainless steel and nickel-based alloys contain elements such as chromium, nickel and molybdenum for strength and corrosion and heat resistance; titanium and titanium-based alloys provide higher strength-to-weight ratios and are corrosion-resistant; tool steel alloys include carbon, tungsten, molybdenum and other metals to make them both hard and malleable; and electrical steel contains silicon to minimize electrical energy loss when in use. We offer these flat-rolled products in a broad selection of grades, sizes and finishes designed to meet international specifications. We provide technical support for material selection. Our wide array of alloys and product forms provides customers with choices from which to select the optimum alloy for their application. Sheet. Stainless steel, nickel-based alloy and titanium sheet products are used in a wide variety of consumer and industrial applications such as food preparation, appliance, automotive, aerospace and medical applications that require ease of cleaning and fabrication, as well as corrosion resistance. Approximately 64% by volume of our sheet products are sold to service centers, which have slitting, cutting or other processing facilities, with the remainder sold directly to end-use customers. Strip. Stainless steel, nickel-based alloy and titanium strip products are used in a variety of consumer and industrial products and a wide range of automotive components. We also offer very thin Precision Rolled Strip(R) products which range from 0.015 inch to less than 0.0015 inch (0.38 - 0.038 mm) thick. Our Precision Rolled Strip(R) products include stainless steel, nickel-based alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, and carbon steel that are used by customers to fabricate a variety of different products ranging from automobile components to photographic, computer, building and construction and consumer products. Approximately 45% by volume of our strip products are shipped directly to end-use customers, with the remainder to service centers, including our own distribution network for flat-rolled strip materials. Plate. Stainless steel, nickel-based alloy and titanium plate products are primarily used in industrial equipment that requires ease of cleaning or corrosion-resistant capabilities such as pollution control scrubbers, food processing equipment, pulp and paper equipment, chemical processing equipment, power generation equipment and aerospace applications. We process and distribute stainless steel and nickel alloy plate and titanium and titanium alloy plate products in a wide variety of grades and gauges. Approximately 77% by volume of our plate products are sold to service centers, with the remainder sold directly to end-use customers. Silicon Electrical Steel. Our grain-oriented silicon electrical steel products are used generally in applications in which electrical conductivity and magnetic properties are important. 4 These products are sold directly to end-use customers, including manufacturers of transformers and communications equipment. High Performance Metals Segment Our High Performance Metals segment produces, converts and distributes a wide range of high performance alloys, including nickel- and cobalt-based alloys and superalloys, titanium and titanium-based alloys, exotic alloys such as zirconium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, and their related alloys, and other specialty materials, primarily in slab, ingot, billet, bar, rod, wire, coil and seamless tube forms. The operations in this segment are Allvac, Allvac Ltd (U.K.) and Wah Chang, which also produces and sells zirconium chemicals. Nickel-, Cobalt- and Titanium-Based Alloys and Superalloys. Our nickel-, iron-, cobalt- and titanium-based alloys and superalloys are engineered to retain exceptional strength and corrosion resistance at temperatures through 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (1,093 degrees Celsius) and are used in critical, high-stress applications. These products are designed for the high performance requirements of aerospace, oil and gas, power generation, chemical processing, transportation, biomedical, marine and nuclear industries. Exotic Alloys - Zirconium, Hafnium, Niobium and Tantalum. We are a leading global producer of zirconium, a highly corrosion-resistant metal that is transparent to neutrons. Zirconium is used for fuel tubes and structural parts in nuclear power reactors and for corrosion-resistant chemical industry applications, and is also used in the jewelry and personal hygiene industries. Hafnium, derived as a by-product of zirconium, is principally used for control rods in nuclear reactors due to its ability to absorb neutrons, and as an alloying addition in aerospace applications. We also produce niobium, also known as columbium, in various forms and alloys. The higher quality grades of niobium we produce are used as an alloying addition in superalloys for jet engines and for aerospace applications such as rocket and fuel nozzles. Niobium and related alloys also are used in applications requiring superconducting characteristics for high-strength magnets, including in medical devices for body-scanning, accelerators for high-energy physics, and fusion energy projects for the generation of electricity. We also produce tantalum, one of the most corrosion-resistant metals, which is used for medical implants, chemical process equipment and aerospace engine components. Industrial Segment Our Industrial Products segment's principal business includes the production of tungsten powder, tungsten heavy alloys, tungsten carbide materials and carbide cutting tools. The segment also produces large grey and ductile iron castings and carbon alloy steel forgings. The operations in this segment are Metalworking Products, Casting Service and Portland Forge. Cutting Tools and Tungsten Carbide Products. We produce a line of sintered tungsten carbide products that approach diamond hardness for the metalworking, mining, oil and gas, and other industries requiring tools with extra hardness. Cemented carbide products, which may be coated or uncoated, are used as super-hard cutters in the high-speed machining and cutting of steel, high temperature alloys and other applications where hardness and wear resistance are important. Technical developments related to ceramics, coatings and other disciplines are incorporated in these products. 5 We also produce tungsten for worldwide markets from numerous and varied tungsten-bearing raw materials to produce tungsten and tungsten carbide powders. Previously used cemented carbide parts are also recycled into tungsten carbide powder. Forgings and Castings. We forge carbon alloy steels into finished forms that are used in a diverse number of industries. With the latest screw-type forging presses, we produce carbon alloy steel forgings in sizes ranging from one pound to more than 200 pounds. We also cast grey and ductile iron metals in sizes ranging from 1,000 pounds to 160,000 pounds and in forms ranging from diesel locomotive engine blocks to housings and parts for power generation equipment, tools, and automobiles. CAPITAL INVESTMENTS The current 2003 capital expenditure plan is approximately $70 million for operational necessities and for completion of capital programs which commenced in 2002. COMPETITION Markets for both our high value and commodity products and services in each of our principal business segments are highly competitive. We compete with many manufacturers which, depending on the product involved, range from large diversified enterprises to smaller companies specializing in particular products. Factors that affect our competitive position are manufacturing costs, industry manufacturing capacity, the quality of our products, services and delivery capabilities, our capabilities to produce a wide range of specialty materials in various unique grades, alloys and product forms, our technology capabilities including our research and development efforts, our marketing strategies and price. We face competition from domestic and foreign competitors, a number of which are government subsidized. In 1999, the United States imposed antidumping and countervailing duties on dumped and subsidized imports of stainless steel sheet and strip in coils and stainless steel plate in coils from companies in ten foreign countries. Current administrative reviews by the U.S. Commerce Department are revising the findings at lower duty rates. We continue to monitor unfairly traded imports from foreign producers for appropriate action. On March 5, 2002, President Bush announced a decision imposing tarriffs on certain steel imports resulting from his June 5, 2001 order for an investigation by the U.S. International Trade Commission ("ITC") under Section 201 of the 1974 Trade Act ("Section 201") related to certain specialty steel products. Section 201 allows the President to restrict imports or impose tariffs on imports that are seriously injuring a domestic industry. Specialty steel products under investigation for the years 1996 through 2000 included stainless steel bar, rod and wire, and tool steel. The Section 201 tariffs imposed on certain steel imports have had minimal impact on our business because of limited applicability to our products. 6 RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES Substantially all parts and materials required in the manufacture of our products are available from more than one supplier and the sources and availability of raw materials essential to its businesses are adequate. The principal raw materials we use in the production of our specialty materials are scrap (including nickel-, chromium-, titanium- and molybdenum-bearing scrap), nickel, titanium sponge, zirconium sand and sponge, ferrochromium, ferrosilicon, molybdenum and molybdenum alloys, ammonium paratungstate, manganese and manganese alloys, cobalt, niobium and other alloying materials. Purchase prices of certain critical raw materials are volatile. As a result, our operating results could be subject to significant fluctuation. For example, since we generally use in excess of 40,000 tons of nickel each year, a hypothetical change of $1.00 per pound in nickel prices would result in increased costs of approximately $80 million. In addition, certain of these raw materials, such as nickel, cobalt, ferrochromium and titanium sponge, can be acquired by us and our specialty materials industry competitors, in large part, only from foreign sources. Some of these foreign sources are located in countries that may be subject to unstable political and economic conditions, which might disrupt supplies or affect the price of these materials. We purchase our nickel requirements principally from producers in Australia, Canada, Norway, Russia, and the Dominican Republic. Zirconium sponge is purchased from a source in France, while zirconium sand is purchased from both U.S. and Australian sources. Cobalt is purchased primarily from producers in Canada. More than 80% of the world's reserves of ferrochromium are located in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Albania, and Kazakhstan. We also purchase titanium sponge from sources in Kazakhstan, Japan and Russia. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk and Other Matters -Forward Looking Statements - Volatility of Energy Prices; Availability of Energy Resources" and " - Volatility of Prices of Critical Raw Materials; Unavailability of Raw Materials" on pages 26 through 27 of the 2002 Annual Report. EXPORT SALES AND FOREIGN OPERATIONS International sales represented approximately 23%, 23%, and 18% of our total sales in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. These figures include export sales by U.S. operations to customers in foreign countries, which accounted for approximately 15%, 15%, and 12% of our total sales in each of 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk and Other Matters - Forward Looking Statements - Export Sales" on page 28 of the 2002 Annual Report. Our overseas sales, marketing and distribution efforts are aided by international marketing offices or representatives located at various locations throughout the world. See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 49 through 51 of the 2002 Annual Report for more information regarding international sales activity. 7 For 2002, our sales in the United States and Canada represented 77% and 2%, respectively, of total 2002 sales. Within Europe, our sales to the United Kingdom, France and Germany represented 5%, 3% and 5%, respectively, of total sales. Our Metalworking Products business manufactures high precision threading, milling, boring and drilling systems for the European market from locations in the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany and Switzerland. Our Allvac Ltd business has manufacturing capabilities in the United Kingdom and has enhanced service to customers by improving the sales and distribution network for our nickel-based alloys, specialty steel and titanium in Europe. The STAL joint venture in the People's Republic of China produces Precision Rolled Strip(R) products, which enables us to offer our Precision Rolled Strip(R) products more effectively to markets in China and other Asian countries. BACKLOG, SEASONALITY AND CYCLICALITY Our backlog of confirmed orders was approximately $412.1 million at December 31, 2002 and $488.9 million at December 31, 2001. We expect that approximately 88% of confirmed orders on hand at December 31, 2002 will be fulfilled during the year ending December 31, 2003. Backlog of confirmed orders of the Flat-Rolled Products segment was $76.3 million at December 31, 2002 and $105.2 million at December 31, 2001. We expect that approximately 100% of the confirmed orders on hand at December 31, 2002 for this segment will be fulfilled during the year ending December 31, 2003. Backlog of confirmed orders of the High Performance Metals segment was approximately $300.0 million at December 31, 2002 and $377.9 million at December 31, 2001. We expect that approximately 84% of the confirmed orders on hand at December 31, 2002 for this segment will be fulfilled during the year ending December 31, 2003. Generally, our sales and operations are not seasonal. However, demand for our products are cyclical over longer periods because specialty materials customers operate in cyclical industries and are subject to changes in general economic conditions. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk and Other Matters - Forward Looking Statements - Cyclical Demand for Products" on page 26 of the 2002 Annual Report. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES We believe that our research and development capabilities give us an edge in developing new products and manufacturing processes that contribute to the profitable growth potential of our businesses on a long-term basis. We conduct research and development at our various operating locations both for our own account and, on a limited basis, for customers on a contract basis. Estimates of the components of research and development for each of our three segments for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 included the following: 8
(In millions) 2002 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- Company-Funded: Flat-Rolled Products $ 4.1 $ 4.5 $ 6.3 High Performance Metals 5.8 5.0 5.0 Industrial Products 2.1 1.8 2.3 ----- ----- ----- $12.0 $11.3 $13.6 ----- ----- ----- Customer-Funded: Flat-Rolled Products $ 0.6 $ -- $ -- High Performance Metals 2.1 2.0 2.0 ----- ----- ----- $ 2.7 $ 2.0 $ 2.0 ----- ----- ----- Total Research and Development $14.7 $13.3 $15.6 ===== ===== =====
With respect to the Flat-Rolled Products and High Performance Metals segments, our research, development and technical service activities are closely interrelated and are directed toward cost reduction, process improvement, process control, quality assurance and control, system development, the development of new manufacturing methods, the improvement of existing manufacturing methods, the improvement of existing products, and the development of new products. We own several hundred United States patents, many of which are also filed under the patent laws of other nations. Although these patents, as well as our numerous trademarks, technical information, license agreements, and other intellectual property, have been and are expected to be of value, we believe that the loss of any single such item or technically related group of such items would not materially affect the conduct of our business. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS We are subject to various domestic and international environmental laws and regulations that govern the discharge of pollutants into the air or water, and the disposal of hazardous substances, and which may require that we investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations, including sites at which we have been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") under the Federal Superfund laws, and comparable state laws. We could incur substantial cleanup costs, fines, and civil or criminal sanctions, third party property damage or personal injury claims as a result of violations or liabilities under these laws or non-compliance with environmental permits required at our facilities. We are currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of our current and former sites as well as third party locations sites under these laws. With respect to proceedings brought under the Federal Superfund laws, or similar state statutes, we have been identified as a PRP at approximately 31 of such sites, excluding those at which we believe we have no future liability. Our involvement is limited or de minimis at approximately 13 of these sites, and the potential loss exposure with respect to any of the remaining 18 individual sites is not considered to be material. We are a party to various cost-sharing arrangements with other PRPs at the sites. The terms of the cost-sharing arrangements are subject to non-disclosure agreements as confidential information. Nevertheless, the cost-sharing arrangements generally require all PRPs to post financial assurance of the performance of the obligations or to pre-pay into an escrow or trust 9 account their share of anticipated site-related costs. In addition, the Federal government, through various agencies, is a party to several such arrangements. At December 31, 2002, our reserves for environmental remediation totaled approximately $41.0 million. Based on currently available information, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding the amount already accrued for any of the matters with which we are currently associated (either individually or in the aggregate) will be an amount that would be material to a decision to buy or sell our securities. Future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters, however, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation. See the discussion of related matters in Item 3. Legal Proceedings. Additional related information is presented under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk and Other Matters - Forward Looking Statements - Risks Associated with Environmental Matters" on pages 24 through 25 of the 2002 Annual Report and in Notes 1 and 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 35 through 36, and pages 58 through 60, respectively, of the 2002 Annual Report. EMPLOYEES We have approximately 9,650 employees. A portion of our workforce is covered by various collective bargaining agreements, principally with the United Steelworkers of America ("USWA"), including: approximately 3,450 Allegheny Ludlum production and maintenance employees covered by collective bargaining agreements between Allegheny Ludlum and the USWA, which are effective through June 2007; approximately 165 Oremet employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the USWA, which are effective through June 2007; and approximately 600 Wah Chang employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the USWA, which continues through March 2008. Negotiations are ongoing for a new collective bargaining agreement with the USWA affecting approximately 140 full and part-time employees at various Allegheny Ludlum facilities in Western Pennsylvania. Also, negotiations are expected to begin for a new collective bargaining agreement with the USWA affecting approximately 104 employees at the Casting Service facility in LaPorte, Indiana. Generally, agreements that expire may be terminated after notice by the union. After termination, the union may authorize a strike. A strike by the employees covered by one or more of the collective bargaining agreements could materially adversely effect our operating results. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in concluding collective bargaining agreements with the unions to replace those that expire. See the discussion of related matters under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk and Other Matters - Forward Looking Statements - Labor Matters" on page 27 of the 2002 Annual Report. 10 AVAILABLE INFORMATION Our internet website address is http://www.alleghenytechnologies.com.

We also own or lease production facilities in a number of foreign countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, and the People's Republic of China. We own and/or lease and operate 625,000-square foot facilities for melt and remelt, machining and bar mill operations, laboratories and offices located on a 25-acre site in Sheffield, England, and a 40,000-square foot leased facility in Sheffield, England for computer numerically controlled milling and machine operations. Through our STAL joint venture, we operate a 130,000-square foot facility for finishing Precision Rolled Strip(R) products in the Xin-Zhuang Industrial Zone, Shanghai, China. Our executive offices, located at PPG Place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania are leased. These facilities are modern and sufficient for us to carry on our current activities. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We become involved from time to time in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings relating to the conduct of our business, including those pertaining to environmental, government contracting, product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment, employee benefits, and stockholder matters. In June 1995, the U.S. Government commenced an action against Allegheny Ludlum in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging multiple violations of the Federal Clean Water Act. The trial of this matter concluded in February 2001. 14 In February 2002, the Court issued a decision imposing a penalty of $8.2 million for incidents at five facilities that occurred over a period of approximately six years which Allegheny Ludlum had reported to the appropriate environmental agencies. We asked the Court to reconsider its decision, which the Court denied in October 2002. We appealed the Court's decision. At December 31, 2002, we had adequate reserves for this matter. Allegheny Ludlum and the United Steelworkers of America ("USWA") are parties to various collective bargaining agreements which set forth a "Profit Sharing Plan". We were involved in litigation with the USWA regarding Profit Sharing Pool calculations for 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. The USWA claimed adjustments that alleged we owed to USWA-represented employees approximately $32 million. We maintained that our certified determinations of the Profit Sharing Pool calculations were made as prescribed by the Profit Sharing Plan. On January 13, 2003, we formalized a settlement agreement with the USWA that provided for an aggregate $5 million distribution to eligible employees. At December 31, 2002, we had adequate reserves for this matter. In March 1995, Kaiser Aerospace & Electronics Corporation ("Kaiser") filed a civil complaint against Teledyne Industries, Inc. (now TDY Industries, Inc. ("TDY")), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Dimeling Schreiber & Park ("DS&P"), DS&P's general partners, and New Piper Aircraft, Inc. in the state court for Miami-Dade County, Florida. The complaint alleged that TDY breached a Cooperation and Shareholder's Agreement with Kaiser under which the parties agreed to cooperate in the filing and promotion of a proposed plan for acquiring out of bankruptcy the assets of Piper Aircraft, a manufacturer of general aviation aircraft. TDY and Kaiser are engaged in discovery and have agreed to participate in a mediation. Kaiser requests that the court impose a constructive trust on TDY's equity interest in privately held New Piper Aircraft, Inc., which represents approximately 30% of the equity of New Piper Aircraft, Inc. In the alternative, Kaiser also seeks unspecified damages in an amount "to be determined at trial." The trial for this matter is not set. While the outcome of the litigation cannot be predicted, and we believe that the claims are not meritorious, an adverse resolution of this matter could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. TDY and the San Diego Unified Port District ("Port District") entered into a lease of property located in San Diego, California ("San Diego facility") on October 1, 1984. TDY operated its Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical division ("Ryan") at the San Diego facility until May 1999, when substantially all the assets and business of Ryan were sold to Northrop Grumman Corporation ("Northrop"). Northrop subleased a portion of the property with the approval of the Port District until early 2001. TDY also entered into three separate sublease arrangements for portions of the property subject to the approval of the Port District, which the Port District refused. After its administrative appeal to the Port District was denied, TDY commenced a lawsuit against the Port District. The complaint, filed in December 2001 in state court in San Diego, alleges breach of contract, inverse condemnation, tortious interference with a prospective economic advantage and other causes of action relating to the Port District's failure to consent to subleases of the space. The Complaint seeks at least $4 million for damages from the Port District and declaratory relief. The trial for this matter is scheduled for October 2003. Despite the Port District's failure to consent to the three subleases, TDY continued its marketing efforts to sublease the San Diego facility. The rental payments and other expenses for the property amounted to approximately $0.4 million per month. At December 31, 2002, we had a reserve of approximately $3 million to cover the costs of occupying the San Diego facility. 15 TDY and the Port District discussed resolution of this matter but did not reach any agreement even after court-sponsored mediation. In June 2002 TDY ceased paying rent on the grounds that the Port District had rescinded the Lease when it refused to allow TDY to sublease the property and that the Port District's condemnation of the property voided the lease. In September 2002, the Port District demanded that rent be paid or possession of the property be returned to the Port District. TDY returned possession to the Port District on October 31, 2002 and denied that any remaining amounts were due under the lease. The Port District filed a cross-complaint against TDY in March 2003. The Complaint alleges breach of contract for failure to pay rent and for certain environmental contamination on the property. The Port District seeks $1.2 million in past rent, along with future rent and an unspecified sum of damages for failure to remedy. The Port District also alleges anticipatory breach relating to removal of structures and debris from the San Diego facility and seeks specific performance or reimbursement to the Port District. The Port District further alleges that it is entitled to indemnity for potential liability related to environmental matters at the San Diego facility, and seeks a declaratory judgment in its favor. TDY has various defenses to the allegations in the Port District's Complaint and denies that it has any obligation to the Port District. In another matter related to the San Diego facility, the Port District requested that the California Department of Toxic Substances Control ("DTSC") evaluate whether the property is regulated as a hazardous waste transportation, storage, or disposal facility under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and similar state laws. DTSC recognizes that the information pertaining to the RCRA permitting status of the property is ambiguous and referred the issue of the property's RCRA permitting status to DTSC's Legal Office for further consideration. TDY discussed this matter directly with DTSC's Legal Office and DTSC agreed to refrain from taking action regarding this issue until after completion of DTSC's Legal Office review. To the extent the facility is subject to RCRA permitting and corrective action is required at the property, DTSC has agreed that the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board ("Regional Board") is the appropriate agency to oversee the corrective action work. The Regional Board is currently overseeing other investigative work at the site, the costs of which are included in our environmental reserves. We are conducting an environmental assessment of portions of the San Diego facility at the request of the Regional Board. At this stage of the assessment, we cannot predict if any remediation will be necessary. We remediated in 1998 and continue to monitor a lagoon near the San Diego facility. Also, we are seeking approval from the San Diego Department of Public Health for the 1996 closure of four underground storage tanks at the San Diego facility. We are evaluating potential claims we have against neighboring property owners and other PRPs related to the environmental condition of the San Diego facility. TDY and another wholly-owned subsidiary, among others, have been identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as PRPs at the Li Tungsten Superfund Site in Glen Cove, New York. We believe that most of the contamination at the Site resulted from work done while the United States government either owned or controlled operations at the Site, or from processes done for various agencies of the United States, and that the United States is liable for a substantial portion of the remediation costs at the Site. In November 2000, TDY filed a cost recovery and contribution action against the United States government. Discovery is ongoing but no trial date has been set. In March 2003, the Court ordered the parties, including the United States government, to fund a portion of the remediation costs at the Site. An adverse resolution 16 of this matter could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition. A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against us relating to the conduct of our business, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment, employee benefits, environmental and stockholder matters. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, we do not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period.
