401(k) Savings Account Plan for Employees of the Exton Facility
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates and Basis of Accounting
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The financial statements are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting.
New Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position AAG
INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain
Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health
and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP). The FSP defines the circumstances in which an investment
contract is considered fully benefit responsive and provides certain reporting and disclosure
requirements for fully benefit responsive investment contracts in defined contribution health and
welfare and pension plans. The financial statement presentation and disclosure provisions of the
FSP are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods ending after December 15, 2006
and are required to be applied retroactively to all prior periods presented for comparative
purposes. The Plan has adopted the provisions of the FSP at December 31, 2006.
As required by the FSP, investments in the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for
Benefits include fully benefit responsive investment contracts recognized at fair value. AICPA
Statement of Position 94-4-1, Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit
Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans, as amended, requires fully benefit responsive
investment contracts to be reported at fair value in the Plans Statement of Net Assets Available
for Benefits with a corresponding adjustment to reflect these investments at contract value. The
requirements of the FSP have been applied retroactively to the Statement of Net Assets Available
for Benefits as of December 31, 2005 presented for comparative purposes. Adoption of the FSP had
no effect on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits or the total of net
assets available for benefits for any period presented.
Investment Valuation and Income recognition
The Plans investments are stated at fair value except for its benefit-responsive investment
contracts, which are valued at contract value (see Note 3). Quoted market prices are used to value
investments. Share of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at
year end. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

401(k) Savings Account Plan for Employees of the Exton Facility
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Investments in bank and insurance company guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) and in synthetic
investment contracts (SICs) are stated at contract value which is equal to principal balance plus
accrued interest, because they are fully benefit-responsive. As provided in the FSP, an investment
contract is generally permitted to be valued at contract value, rather than fair value, to the
extent it is fully benefit-responsive. Fair value of the GICs was estimated by discounting the
weighted average cash flows at the then-current interest crediting rate for a comparable maturity
investment contract. Fair value of the SICs was estimated based on the fair value of each
contracts supporting assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005. Participants may ordinarily direct the
withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. There are no
reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise.
Although it is managements intention to hold the investment contracts in the Standish Mellon Fixed
Income Fund until maturity, certain investment contracts provide for adjustments to contract value
for withdrawals made prior to maturity.
2. Description of the Plan
The 401(k) Savings Account Plan for Employees of the Exton Facility, formerly known as 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 of the
Exton facility of Allegheny Ludlum Corporation (the Company) to defer a part of their compensation
and contribute such deferral to the Plan. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allegheny
Technologies Incorporated (ATI, the Plan Sponsor). The Plan allows employees to contribute a
portion of eligible wages each pay period through payroll deductions subject to Internal Revenue
Code limitations. The Plan allows participants to direct their contributions to any of the
investment alternatives. Unless otherwise specified by the participant, contributions are made to
the Standish Mellon Fixed Income Fund.
Separate accounts are maintained by the Plan Sponsor for each participating employee. Trustee fees
and asset management fees charged by the Plans 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Description of the Plan (continued)
Participants may make in-service 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.

Master Trust).
The Allegheny Master Trust was established for the investment of assets of the Plan, and several
other ATI sponsored retirement plans. Each participating retirement plan has an undivided interest
in the Allegheny Master Trust. At December 31, 2006, the Plans interest in the net assets of the
Alliance Capital Growth Pool, the Standish Fixed Income Fund, and the T. Rowe Price Structured

The Standish Mellon 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 Allegheny 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).
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, 2006 the interest crediting rates
for GICs and Fixed Maturity SICs ranged from 4.30% to 5.34%.

4. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated August 4,
2003, 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. The Boston Company
is the manager of the Short Term Investment Fund. Dreyfus Corporation, Dreyfus Service Corporation
and the Boston Company are wholly owned subsidiaries of Mellon Financial Corporation. Mellon
Financial Corporation also owns Mellon Bank, N.A., the trustee for this Plan. T. Rowe Price
Associates, Inc. is the manager of the T. Rowe Price Structured Research Common Trust Fund.
Therefore, transactions with these entities qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
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. However, no such action may deprive any participant or beneficiary under the Plan of any
vested right.
7. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various
risk such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of
investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available
for benefits.
