Chairman's Letter

To Our Shareholders, Employees, and Friends:

We began fiscal year '02 nineteen days after 9/11. At the time, we could only guess how the aftermath of those events would influence our future. In retrospect, the impact was profound. After all the puts and takes, the remarkable fact is that we achieved net earnings of $37.6 million, a 16% increase over comparable earnings in the previous year. On a per-share basis, our FY'02 earnings were $2.50, a new record.

We knew we'd be relying on the strength in our military business when we started the year. As the year progressed, the defense business exceeded our expectations and ultimately generated 39% of our revenues.

Aircraft

Our new Joint Strike Fighter program (JSF) started up right on schedule, generating over $10 million in its first nine months. In our business, that's like going from zero to sixty in four seconds.

Aftermarket sales in military aircraft grew by 26% to over $89 million making it our Company's fastest growing product line. Increases, spread over a variety of production programs, including the F/A-18E/F, the F-15, and the Black Hawk helicopter, resulted in a $44 million overall increase in military aircraft revenue.

Taken all together, the growth in military sales overwhelmed a 17% decline in commercial aircraft sales to Boeing and Airbus, and a 12% reduction in the commercial airplane aftermarket. As a result, total Aircraft segment sales increased by 6% to $359 million.

We expect the pattern established by Aircraft in '02 to continue into '03. We're forecasting a $35 million increase in the segment's sales, a gain of close to 10%.

In '03, the build-up on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will produce much of the sales growth, with annual revenues increasing to almost $40 million. Growth in military aftermarket will continue and revenues on the V-22 Osprey will be up substantially as we deliver replacement swashplate actuators, updating aircraft to the latest configuration.

Growth in military aircraft sales in '03 will outweigh a slight decline in commercial revenues due to lower production at Boeing. Sales will also increase on our emerging business jet programs, including Raytheon's Premier and Hawker Horizon, and Bombardier's Challenger.

As we look further into the future, we're encouraged by a number of positive factors in our Aircraft segment. The F-35 could have a huge impact on our revenues in the outyears. We're heartened by the prospect of recovery for the V-22. The Army seems to have settled on a final restructure of the Comanche helicopter and is now planning production of close to 700 vehicles. The Koreans have selected the F-15K and placed their first order for 40 aircraft. Over the next three years, we'll deliver actuators for the Indian Light Combat Aircraft, a program restarted after export restrictions were removed.

On the commercial side, we're hopeful that the '03 production rate for Boeing Commercial will be the bottom of the cycle and that the rate will improve in '04 or '05. We're hopeful that the aftermarket will sustain itself at the current level and that our business jet programs will see nice increases in the years beyond '03.

Space

In our Space segment, sales were $107 million in '02. Expected revenue growth on the refurbishment contract for Space Shuttle came through but was moderated by an end-of-the-year slowdown in deliveries for commercial satellites and tactical missiles.

Although the Space segment's growth was modest in fiscal '02, it was a year of substantial technical achievements. We celebrated successful launches of Lockheed Martin's Atlas V and Boeing's Delta IV Launch Vehicles, both of which use our steering and propellant controls. Our hardware successfully performed critical functions in the assembly of the International Space Station. Moog electromechanical bolt motor actuators joined truss segments, and our quick disconnect couplings completed the ammonia heat transfer circuit from the Station's power-generating system.

In terms of sales, our Space segment in '03 will look a lot like last year, less the Space Station Crew Return Vehicle. We're forecasting revenues of $98 million. We're expecting a continuation of the reduced level of activity on commercial satellites and tactical missiles that we experienced in the fourth quarter of '02. These effects will be offset, in part, by the build-up on programs associated with national missile defense and NASA's initiative on a second-generation reusable launch vehicle (RLV).

Over the longer term, as in Aircraft, there are positive forces at work in our Space segment. We're increasing our market share on commercial satellites by adding subsystem integration to our extensive component portfolio. On the Lockheed Martin A2100 Satellite, we're supplying propellant and gas management manifolds along with antenna-pointing gimbal assemblies. For the emerging electric propulsion market, we're positioned as the leader in Xenon feed systems and engine thruster gimbal assemblies. Our product position on commercial satellites will provide a steady revenue stream for the foreseeable future and we believe the time will come when production of the big Geosynchronous (GEO) satellites will return to the pace of two or three years ago. In addition, we believe there will be increased emphasis by the military on space-based communication.

-2-

Industrial

Our Industrial segment had a tougher time in fiscal '02 than we anticipated. We forecasted a sales increase to $272 million. We anticipated the uplift in sales which occurred on combat controls for military vehicles. We were forecasting a slight decline in the plastics machinery market but, beyond that, we expected a continuation of product-line revenue levels achieved in the latter half of '01. However, two of our key market areas, controls for industrial gas turbines and actuators for flight-training simulators, got a lot worse in '02. We've adjusted to this reality, and for '03 we're forecasting a continuation of the levels actually experienced in the fourth quarter of '02, complemented by continued growth in combat controls for military vehicles. The result should be Industrial revenues of $268 million in '03.

Searching for signs of an industrial upturn in '02, the most optimistic report we ever got was "it's not getting any worse". Our Industrial folks met this challenge in a professional fashion. We continually resized our operations in relation to the prevailing market conditions. A management team's best work is often done when dealing with the reality of a down market and our Industrial folks had that opportunity in fiscal '02.

The cost reduction accomplished last year will certainly improve results in '03 and will really pay off when the industrial cycle turns up - as it inevitably will.

Outlook for '03

All in all, we're extremely gratified with the results that we achieved in '02, and with our opportunities in '03. Everyone acquainted with the commercial aircraft and the commercial spacecraft markets is aware of what's occurred over the last two years. In '03, we'll be supporting production at Boeing Commercial that's roughly half the rate of three years ago.  We've seen a similar decline in the demand for GEO satellites. All companies associated with the global market for sophisticated industrial equipment continue to experience sluggish demand.

Moog continues to generate double-digit growth in earnings per share despite those difficult conditions. Our ability to perform in this fashion is partly the result of the nature of our Company. We're specialists in high-performance actuation, a technology that has application in many different markets. Over the years, we've delivered our particular competence to a broad spectrum of different markets, including the major defense establishments in the U. S. and overseas. We have the flexibility to shift resources of all sorts, including design and development engineers, professional staff, and world-class factory capacity, to support the parts of our business that are growing, and to protect the margins in those areas that are under pressure. Last, but not least, we have a talented and dedicated staff focused on delivering the best products to the most demanding customers in all of the markets we serve. This combination has allowed our Company to move through a turbulent economic period while maintaining stable and predictable financial outcomes. It's the approach that worked for us in '02, and we believe it will work as well in '03, and into the future.

Respectfully submitted,

Bob Brady

Aircraft Controls

Military and Commercial Aircraft

The Aircraft segment of our company designs and manufactures high-performance flight controls and jet engine controls for the world's most important military programs as well as for large commercial and business aircraft. Along with original equipment sales (OEM), the company provides comprehensive aftermarket services for the lifetime of the aircraft.

In '02, military revenues comprised fifty-six percent of the segment and, as a result of continued growth, will be a larger percentage in '03. In total, Aircraft generates nearly half of Moog's annual revenues.

Aftermarket revenue for the military has more than doubled in the past five years and now accounts for twenty-five percent of Aircraft sales. Moog has supplied flight control actuation for every important U.S. aircraft program since the 1950's and continues to supply spare parts on those aircraft. Additionally, in the past three years, the company has received several significant long-term defense contracts to provide depot repairs that directly support the country's readiness.

Several large production programs contributed to the surge in revenues. The ramp-up of the System Development and Demonstration phase of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter provided the largest increment of growth and, going forward, it will become the largest single contributor, growing in '03 to sixteen percent of total military revenues.

Production on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet added substantially to '02 sales, as it has for the past several years. We expect strong sales on this program to continue. Moog also supplied hardware for the Marines' V-22 Osprey which is undergoing a rigorous test program. This program promises significant topline growth if it transitions into active production as planned.

In commercial aircraft, Moog is a leading supplier of OEM flight control actuation for the Boeing 7-series aircraft. We also supply servovalves and some flight controls to Airbus. Production of controls for business jets is a relatively new and growing market for Moog and contributed thirteen percent of commercial aircraft sales.

Aftermarket sales are currently about thirty-two percent of our commercial revenues and are an extremely important part of our commercial portfolio. The aftermarket held up better than expected in '02, and we're hoping for continued stability in '03.

Taking the year altogether, the Aircraft segment increased nearly $20 million in fiscal '02 and is expected to grow by $35 million in fiscal '03.

    Space Controls

    Satellites, Launch Vehicles, and Missiles

    The company's Space segment has these major components: satellites and space vehicles, launch vehicles, and missiles. Revenues make up about fifteen percent of total company sales.

    The satellite and space vehicle portion of this segment is by far the largest. In this business, the company has three major product areas. We design and manufacture high-performance fluid controls for steering and positioning all types of space vehicles. We also produce sophisticated mechanisms for pointing antennas, unfurling solar arrays, and controlling space optics for both government and commercial satellites. We built all the original flight controls for the Space Shuttle orbiters in the late '70's, and we're now in the midst of a major refurbishment of that equipment. In '02, we completed flight control development for the X-38 Space Station Crew Return Vehicle.

    In recent years, Moog has led the transition from hydraulic flight controls, as on the Space Shuttle, to the electromechanical controls on the X-38. In a similar fashion, the late '90's saw the evolution of hydraulic thrust vector controls (TVC) on Titan IV to the electromechanical TVC on Atlas V and Delta IV. That development is now complete, and our launch vehicle revenues depend on the steady but low-rate production of Atlas, Delta, and Ariane. Revenues from missiles, both strategic and tactical, tend to come from many small contracts for steering controls, adding up thirty-seven percent of the total Space business. The missile business has been flat for several years and, in '03, there will be a break in production on the Hellfire missile. However, future potential upside to this business includes Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), formerly called National Missile Defense. Moog supplies steering and kill vehicle controls for GMD and, when this program is funded for production, it will be a significant catalyst for revenue growth.

    In total, Space revenues in fiscal '03 will look like '02 except for the completion of the Crew Return Vehicle.

    Industrial Controls

    Industrial Hydraulic and Industrial Electrics

    Industrial is the most diverse of our three segments in terms of numbers of customers and different applications. Although four markets within the segment -- plastics, turbines, combat controls, and aftermarket -- account for nearly fifty percent of the total revenues, the other fifty percent include dozens of unique markets ranging from saw mills to bottle-labeling equipment to automatic gear boxes on Formula 1 race cars. In all cases, Moog provides both the application engineering and the hardware for motion and fluid control applications that demand reliable, highly precise control under difficult operating conditions.

    In our Industrial segment, we do more business in Europe and Asia than we do inside the U.S. This is truly a global business and is therefore impacted by currency fluctuations. In the coming year, the strength of the Euro could add measurably to our results.

    In the plastics market, Moog sells high performance machine controls to makers of injection and blow molding machines that form any number of products ranging from compact discs to dashboards. This business exceeds $40 million and is expected to increase slightly in '03.

    Demand for turbine controls, which are sold to the world's largest power generation manufacturers, decreased slightly in '02. In addition, GE moved procurement of some of our products to electronic reverse auctions. In this process, decisions are based solely on price and purposely ignore quality of hardware, engineering expertise, and aftermarket support. We do not participate in e-auctions. The result will be a decline in '03 revenues for turbines.

    On the other hand, we do have one market exhibiting strong growth. Combat controls used on tanks and other armored vehicles were very strong in '02, growing by $10 million from '01, and are expected to increase in '03 as well.

    The myriad other Industrial markets had small puts and takes, none of which were individually significant. The strength of foreign currencies was responsible for a small increase in '02 revenues but the Euro could add as much as $12 million in '03, if it stays at its current level.

    Going forward, the most significant factor in this segment is the expectation of improved margins. Cost reduction initiatives begun during '02 will result in a material decrease to cost of sales in '03, providing a strong boost to profitability.

    Glossary of Terms

    Moog Technology

    In 2001, Moog began providing a glossary of selected terms relevant to our technology and markets. 
    This year we're providing several new terms in the same in-depth fashion as well as abbreviated definitions from the prior year.

    2001 terms:

    Aftermarket:
    Spares, repairs, and overhaul of OEM hardware.

    Primary flight controls:
    Flight-critical controls including ailerons, elevators, and rudders. All are on the trailing edge of a wing.

    Secondary flight controls:
    Supplemental controls that refine an aircraft's performance including trim tabs, wingflaps, spoilers, speed brakes, and slats.

    Thrust vector control:
    Steering launch vehicles and satellites by directing the thrust of their rocket engines and booster nozzles.

    Electrohydraulic Servocontrol Actuation:

    An electrohydraulic servocontrol system consists of six elements indicated in the diagram below: control electronics which may be a computer, microprocessor or guidance system and which create a command input signal; a servoamplifier which provides a low power electrical actuating signal which is the difference between the command input signal and the feedback signal generated by the feedback transducer; a servovalve which responds to this low power electrical signal and controls the high power flow of hydraulic fluid to an actuation element such as a piston and cylinder which positions the device being controlled; and a power supply, generally an electric motor and pump, which provides the flow of hydraulic fluid under high pressure. The feedback transducer measures the output of the system and converts this measurement into a proportional signal which is sent to the servoamplifier. The concepts are similar in electromechanical systems wherein an electric drive and ballscrew are used instead of a servovalve and actuator.

    This cutaway of an actuator shows the piston which moves inside the cylinder in response to the pressure and flow control of the servovalve. The piston extends and retracts, providing the motion or force commanded by the computer.

    2002 terms:

    Electrohydrostatic actuation (EHA):

    In a conventional aircraft, flight surfaces are operated through electrical signals that control the hydraulic or mechanical power. This is called "fly-by-wire". Next generation aircraft will use EHA actuation - also called "power-by-wire" which refers to the technology's concept of eliminating hydraulic connections and providing electrical power directly to the actuators. The benefits of the new technology are: reduced power consumption, greater survivability, reduced maintenance costs, and reduced weight.

    Six degrees of freedom:

    A term used to describe the six ways an aircraft or a motion simulator can move. These movements include three translational (a physics term which means movement without rotation): vertical, lateral, and longitudinal, and three rotational (the action of moving around an axis): pitch, roll, and yaw. Vertical motion is straight up and down, longitudinal is straight forward and backward, and lateral is straight side to side. Pitch is the rotation of the nose of the plane up and down, roll is a side spin wing over wing, and yaw is a flat sideways nose to tail spin.

    Swashplate assembly:

    A helicopter's main rotor hub, where the drive shaft and the rotors connect, has to be extremely strong and highly adjustable. The swashplate assembly provides adjustability by enabling the pilot to change the angle of all the rotor blades simultaneously which allows the craft to gain or lose altitude. The assembly also can change the angle of the blades individually as they revolve which allows the craft to move in any direction around a 360-degree circle, including forward, backward, left, and right.

    Digital interface valve:

    An industrial valve with an embedded digital microprocessor that enables users to define the valve's dynamic performance and adapt its characteristics to particular application requirements. The microprocessor also provides extensive device-monitoring, fault-detection, and communication capabilities which were previously unavailable on analog hydraulic valves.
