necessary to present fairly the financial position as of December 29, 1996, and

STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Company's accompanying Financial Statements and Notes thereto and the
Company's 1996 Annual Report. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to
years refer to fiscal years.
Analysis of Results of Operations
Three months ended December 29, 1996 compared to the three months ended
December 31, 1995
Net sales increased 7 percent to $37.9 million for the three months ended
December 29, 1996, from $35.5 million for the three months ended December 31,
1995. The sales increase is primarily due to sales to the Ford Motor Company
which increased approximately $4.0 million in the current quarter compared to
the prior year quarter. During the current quarter, the Company made
production volume shipments for all vehicle programs which it supplies to Ford.
Production on the majority of these programs was phased in during the prior
fiscal year. Sales to Chrysler Corporation were comparable to the prior year
quarter. Sales to General Motors Corporation were approximately $2.0 million
lower in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily as a
result of General Motors labor disruptions early in the quarter.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 22.5 percent in the three
months ended December 29, 1996, compared to 24.4 percent in the three months
ended December 31, 1995. Although gross profit margins were lower than the
prior year quarter, they have improved from the lower gross profit margins
experienced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 and the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 as scrap levels and expedited freight costs have continued to
decrease in the current quarter.
Engineering, selling and administrative expenses were $4.4 million or 11.5
percent of net sales for the three months ended December 29, 1996, compared to
$4.0 million or 11.1 percent of net sales for the three months ended December
31, 1995. The increase is primarily due to increased engineering expenses in
support of current and future vehicle programs.
Income from operations was $4.2 million in the current quarter, compared
to $4.7 million in the prior year quarter. Income from operations decreased
reflecting the reduced gross profit margins as previously discussed above.
The effective income tax rate for the current quarter was 38.0 percent
compared to 39.7 percent in the prior year quarter. The current quarter rate
is comparable to the effective rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
The effective rate differs from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to
the effects of state income taxes.
Six months ended December 29, 1996 compared to the six months ended
December 31, 1995
Net sales increased 17 percent to $74.1 million for the six months ended
December 29, 1996, compared to $63.4 million for the six months ended December
31, 1995. The increase is primarily due to sales to the Ford Motor Company
which increased approximately $11.7 compared to the prior year period. During
the six months ended December 29, 1996, the Company made production volume
shipments for all vehicle programs which it supplies to Ford. Production on
the majority of these programs was phased in during the prior fiscal
7
8
year. Sales to Chrysler Corporation increased by a total of approximately 7
percent compared to the prior year period due to increased vehicle production
and increased product content and features in the locksets supplied by the
Company. Sales to General Motors Corporation were approximately $1.4 million
lower in six months ended December 29, 1996 compared to the prior year period
as a result of General Motors labor disruptions early in the second quarter.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 19.9 percent in the six
months ended December 29, 1996, compared to 21.2 percent in the six months
ended December 31, 1995. Gross profit margins were lower than the prior year
period reflecting lower gross profit margins during the second quarter as
previously discussed.
Engineering, selling and administrative expenses were $8.5 million for the
six months ended December 29, 1996, compared to $7.8 million for the six months
ended December 31, 1995. The increase is primarily due to increased
engineering expenses in support of current and future vehicle programs.
Income from operations was $6.3 million in the six months ended December
29, 1996, compared to $5.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 1995.
Income from operations increased reflecting the increased sales volume as
previously discussed above.
The effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 29, 1996
was 38.1 percent compared to 39.8 percent for the six months ended December 31,
1995. The current period rate is comparable to the effective rate for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. The effective rate differs from the federal
statutory tax rate primarily due to the effects of state income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital expenditures during the six months ended December 29, 1996 were
$3.4 million compared to $6.2 million during the six months ended December 31,
1995. The decrease in capital expenditures compared to the prior year period
is due to the timing of expenditures for new product programs. The Company
anticipates that capital expenditures will be approximately $10 million to $11
million in fiscal 1997 in support of additional product programs, and the
upgrade and replacement of existing equipment at the production facilities.
The Company's investment in accounts receivable increased by approximately
$2.1 million to $20.9 million at December 29, 1996, as compared to 18.8 million
at June 30, 1996, primarily due to the receipt of normal payments from
significant customers subsequent to December 29, 1996. Inventory levels at
December 29, 1996, were consistent with the levels at June 30, 1996.
The Company has a $25 million unsecured, revolving credit facility (the
"Credit Facility"). Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility were
approximately $3.7 million at December 29, 1996, primarily due to the increase
in accounts receivable as previously discussed above as well as the repurchase
of stock as discussed below. The Company believes that the Credit Facility
will be adequate, along with cash flow from operations, to meet its anticipated
capital expenditure, working capital and operating expenditure requirements.
Funding of the environmental remediation at the Milwaukee facility is not
expected to impact ongoing operations.
The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized a stock repurchase
program to buy back up to five percent of the 5.8 million outstanding shares.
A total of 118,000 shares have been repurchased as of December 29, 1996, at a
cost of approximately $1.9 million. The stock repurchase program is funded
through the Credit Facility along with cash flow from operations.

The Company has not been significantly impacted by inflationary pressures
over the last several years. Primary raw materials are high grade zinc and
brass which are generally subject to commodity pricing and variations in the
market prices of these materials.
Mexican Operations
The Company has assembly operations in Juarez, Mexico. The functional
currency of the Mexican operation through December 29, 1996 was the Mexican
Peso. The effects of currency fluctuations resulted in adjustments to the U.S.
dollar value of the Company's net assets and to the equity accounts in
accordance with FAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Effective December
30, 1996, the functional currency of the Mexican operation is the U.S. dollar
as Mexico is considered to be a highly inflationary economy in accordance with
FAS No. 52. The effect of currency fluctuations in the remeasurement process
will be included in the determination of income.
A number of the matters and subject areas discussed in this Form 10-Q that
are not historical or current facts deal with potential future circumstances
and developments. These include expected future financial results, liquidity
needs, financing ability, management's or the Company's expectations and
beliefs and similar matters discussed in the Company's Management Discussion
and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. The discussions
of such matters and subject areas are qualified by the inherent risk and
uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally, and also may
materially differ from the Company's actual future experience. The Company's
business, operations and financial performance are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties which could result in material differences in actual results from
the Company's current expectations. These risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to, general economic conditions, demand for the Company's
products and costs of operations.
