1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investments are valued as follows:
Bank and insurance contracts with varying contract rates and maturity dates are stated at contract value.
Although it is management's intention to hold the investment contracts in the Fixed Income Fund until maturity, certain investment contracts provide for adjustments to contract value for withdrawals made prior to maturity.
All other funds are stated at their net asset value, based on the quoted market prices of the securities held in such funds on applicable exchanges.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The Allegheny Rodney (ALstrip) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
The purpose of the Plan is to encourage employee thrift by permitting eligible employees to defer a part of their compensation and contribute such deferral to the Plan. The Plan allows employees to contribute a portion of eligible wages each pay period through payroll deductions subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. The discretionary employer profit sharing contribution was stopped in 2001.
Separate accounts are maintained by the Plan Sponsor for each participating employee. Trustee fees and asset management fees charged by the Plan's trustee, Mellon Bank, N.A., for the administration of all funds are charged against net assets available for benefits of the respective fund. Certain other expenses of administering the Plan are paid by the Plan Sponsor.
Participants may make "in-service" (age 59-1/2 only) and hardship withdrawals as outlined in the plan document.
Active employees can borrow up to 50% of their vested account balances minus any outstanding loans. The loan amounts are further limited to a minimum of $500 and a maximum of $50,000, and an employee can obtain no more than three loans at one time. Interest rates are determined based on commercially accepted criteria, and payment schedules vary based on the type of the loan. General-purpose loans are repaid over 6 to 60 months, and primary residence loans are repaid over periods from 6 months up to 180 months. Payments are made by payroll deductions.
Further information about the Plan, including eligibility, vesting, contributions, and withdrawals, is contained in the plan documents. Copies of these documents are available from the Plan Sponsor.

The Master Trust was established for the investment of assets of the Plan, and several other ATI sponsored retirement plans.

The Fixed Income Fund (the Fund) invests in guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) and actively managed structured or synthetic investment contracts (SICs). The GICs are promises by a bank or insurance company to repay principal plus a fixed rate of return through contract maturity. SICs differ from GICs in that there are specific assets supporting the SICs, and these assets are owned by the Master Trust. The bank or insurance company issues a wrapper contract that allows participant-directed transactions to be made at contract value. The assets supporting the SICs are comprised of government agency bonds, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities (ABOs) and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) with fair values of $88,750,762 at December 31, 2002. The contract value minus the market value of the wrapper contracts at December 31, 2002 is ($2,667,261).
Interest crediting rates on the GICs in the Fund are determined at the time of purchase. Interest crediting rates on the SICs are either: (1) set at the time of purchase for a fixed term and crediting rate; (2) set at the time of purchase for a fixed term and variable crediting rate or (3) set at the time of purchase and reset monthly within a "constant duration." A constant duration contract may specify a duration of 2.5 years and the crediting rate is adjusted monthly based upon quarterly rebalancing of eligible 2.5 year duration investment instruments at the time of each resetting; in effect the contract never matures. At December 31, 2002, the interest crediting rates for GICs and Fixed Maturity SICs ranged from 3.27% to 8.05%.
For the year ended December 31, 2002, the average annual yield for the investment contracts in the Fund was 5.74%. Fair value of the GICs was estimated by discounting the weighted average of the Fund's cash flows at the then-current interest crediting rate for a comparable maturity investment contract. Fair value for the SICs was estimated based on the fair value of each contract's supporting assets at December 31, 2002.
The composition of net assets of the Alliance Equity Master Trust at December 31, 2002 was as follows:

Interest, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and management fees from the master trusts are included in the net loss from interest in Allegheny Technologies Incorporated Savings Plan Trust on the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.
4. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated August 16, 1993, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this issuance of the determination letter, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
5. PARTIES-IN-INTEREST
Dreyfus Corporation is the manager of the Dreyfus Mutual Funds that are offered as investment options under this Plan. Dreyfus Service Corporation is the funds' distributor. Dreyfus Corporation and Dreyfus Service Corporation are both wholly owned subsidiaries of Mellon Financial Corporation. Mellon Financial Corporation also owns Mellon Bank, N.A., the Trustee for this Plan. Therefore, transactions with these entities qualify as party-in-interest. Trustee and investment fees paid during 2002 and 2001 were based upon customary and reasonable rates for such services.
6. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
