HEICO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
April 30,July 31, 2002
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
HEICO Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in
annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2001.
The October 31, 2001 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from
audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the
condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows
for such interim periods presented. The results of operations for the sixnine
months ended April 30,July 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results which
may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
2. All net income per share, dividend per share, stock options and shares
outstanding information has been retroactively restated to reflect all stock
dividends.
3. In November 2001, the Company, through a subsidiary, acquired certain assets
and liabilities of an unrelated entity. The purchase price was not significant
to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
4. In July 2001, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".Assets." SFAS No. 141
requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase
method. The statement further requires separate recognition of intangible assets
that meet one of two criteria. The statement applies to all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that an intangible
asset that is acquired shall be initially recognized and measured based on its
fair value. Goodwill in each reporting unit must be tested for impairment as of
the beginning of the fiscal year in which the
statementSFAS 142 is initially applied in its
entirety. An entity has six months from the date it initially applies this
statement to complete the transitional impairment test. The statement also
provides that goodwill should not be amortized, but shall be tested for
impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential
impairment, through a comparison of fair value to its carrying amount. SFAS 142
also requires that reporting units based on an entity's reporting structure be
established. All goodwill recognized in an entity's statement of financial
position at the date SFAS 142 is initially applied shall be assigned to one or
more reporting units. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal periodsyears beginning after
December 15, 2001.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective the beginning of the
first quarter of fiscal 2002. These standards only permit prospective
application of the new accounting; accordingly, adoption of these standards will
not affect previously reported financial information. The principal effect of
implementing SFAS No. 142 was the cessation of the amortization of goodwill in the
first sixnine months of fiscal 2002. The Company has performed the
5
transitional
impairment test which requires comparison of carrying values to fair values and
if appropriate,
5
the carrying value of impaired assets is reduced to fair value. As a result of
the test performed, the Company determined there was no goodwill impairment as
of the beginning of the first quarter.quarter of fiscal 2002. There can be no assurance
that future goodwill impairments will not occur. Intangible assets that are not
subject to amortization consist of goodwill. As of April 30,July 31, 2002, the carrying
value of goodwill amounted to $185.6$187.9 million. Pretax goodwill amortization in
the sixnine months and three months ended April 30,July 31, 2001 amounted to $3.3$5.0 million
($.09.15 per diluted share, net of tax) and $1.7$1.8 million ($.05 per diluted share,
net of tax), respectively.
The following table reflects a comparison of the current year to the comparable
prior year periods' results of operations and net income per share adjusted to
give effect to the adoption of SFAS No. 142:

/1/ In the quarter ended July 31, 2002, one of the Company's subsidiaries
formerly included in the Electronic Technologies Group (ETG) was reclassified to
the Flight Support Group (FSG). Balances as of November 1, 2001 have been
retroactively restated to reflect the revised segment classification.
The increase in goodwill infor the sixnine months ended April 30,July 31, 2002 resultsresulted
primarily from the acquisition of assets and liabilities of an unrelated entity
in November 2001.2001 and adjustments to the preliminary allocation of the purchase
price of other acquisitions based on updated fair value information of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the dates of acquisition.
6
Other intangible assets subject to amortization consist primarily of licenses,
loan costs, patents, and non-compete covenants and loan costs.covenants. The gross carrying amount and
accumulated amortization of other intangible assets was $3.2$4.0 million and $2.1
million, respectively, as of April 30,July 31, 2002. Amortization expense of other
intangible assets for the sixnine months and three months ended April 30,July 31, 2002 was
$156,000$219,000 and $62,000,$63,000, respectively. Amortization expense for the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2002 and the succeeding five fiscal years by year is expected
to be as follows: 2002 - $307,000;$334,000; 2003 - $249,000;$305,000; 2004 - $226,000;$282,000; 2005 -

5. In September 2000, the Company sold a product line represented by a
wholly-owned subsidiary, Trilectron Industries, Inc. (Trilectron). At the time
of the sale, the Company accrued approximately $10.8 million for expenses
related to the sale. In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company
recognized a $1.2 million pre-tax gain ($765,000 net of tax or $.03 per diluted
share) on sale of the Trilectron product line due to the elimination of certain
reserves upon the expiration of indemnification provisions of the sales
contract. The $1.2 million gain is reported as gain on sale of product line in
the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

16. The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal
course of business. Based upon the amounts sought by the plaintiffs in these
actions, management is of the opinion that the outcome of these matters will not
have a significant effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial
statements.
17. The Company recently completed a tax audit with the Internal Revenue Service
that will result in recovery of a portion of taxes paid in prior years. The
recovery, net of expenses, including professional fees and interest is expected
to increase fourth quarter fiscal 2002 earnings by approximately $2 million, or
$.08 - $.09 per diluted share.
18. As partial consideration in the acquisition of Inertial Airline Services,
Inc. (IAS) in August 2001, the Company issued $5 million in HEICO Class A Common
shares and guaranteed that the resale value of such Class A Common shares would
be at least $5 million through August 31, 2002, which both parties agreed to
extend to August 31, 2003. Based on the closing market price of the HEICO Class
A Common shares on August 31, 2002, the Company would have been required to pay
IAS an additional amount of approximately $2.5 million in cash. Pursuant to the
terms of the Note Receivable from IAS, which is secured by such Class A Common
shares, IAS would be required to use the $2.5 million to reduce the Company's
Note Receivable.
19. In August 2001, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 supercedes
SFAS Statement No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of".of." SFAS 144 applies to all
long-lived assets (including discontinued operations) and consequently amends
APBAccounting Principles Board No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations -
10
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business" (APB 30). SFAS 144
develops one accounting model (based on the model in SFAS 121) for long-lived
assets that are to be disposed of by sale, as well as addresses the principal
implementation issues. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be
disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of bookcarrying value or fair value
less cost to sell. That requirement eliminates the requirement of APB 30 that
discontinued operations be measured at net realizable value or that entities
include under "discontinued operations" in the financial statements amounts for
operating losses that have not yet occurred. Additionally, SFAS 144 expands the
scope of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with
operations that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2)
will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal
transaction. While the Company has not completed the process of determining the
effect of this new accounting pronouncement on its consolidated financial
statements, the Company currently expects that the effect of SFAS No. 144 on the
Company's financial statements, when it becomes effective, will not be
significant. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001 and generally the provisions of the statement will be applied
prospectively.
10In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4,
44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." This
statement eliminates the SFAS 4 requirement that gains and losses from
extinguishment of debt be classified as an extraordinary item, and requires that
such gains and losses be evaluated for extraordinary classification under the
criteria of APB 30, "Reporting Results of Operations." This statement also
amends SFAS 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic
effects that are similar to sales-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the
same manner as sales-leaseback transactions. SFAS 145 also makes various other
technical corrections to existing pronouncements. This statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company does not expect the
adoption of SFAS 145 to have a material effect on its results of operations or
financial position.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" (EITF 94-3). SFAS 146 requires
recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity when the liability is incurred, as opposed to when the entity commits
to an exit plan under EITF 94-3. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is
the objective for the initial measurement of the liability. This statement is
effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 146 to have a material effect on
its results of operations or financial position.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
This discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be
read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and
Notes thereto included herein. The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates
if different assumptions were used or different events ultimately transpire.
Our Flight Support Group (FSG) consists of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. (HEICO
Aerospace) and its subsidiaries and our Electronic Technologies Group (ETG)
consists of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. and its subsidiaries.
In November 2001, the Company, through a FSG subsidiary, acquired certain assets
and liabilities of an unrelated entity. The purchase price was not significant
to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
All net income per share information has been retroactively restated to reflect
all stock dividends.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company believes that the following are its most critical accounting
policies, some of which require management to make judgments about matters that
are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis, primarily upon shipment of products
and the rendering of services. Revenue from certain fixed price contracts for
which costs can be dependably estimated are recognized on the percentage of
completion method, measured by the cost-to-cost method. Changes in job
performance, job conditions, estimated profitability and final contract
settlements may result in revisions to costs. Revisions in cost estimates as
contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits in the
period of revision. For contracts in which costs cannot be dependably estimated,
revenue is recognized on the completed-contract method. A contract is considered
complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred or the
item has been accepted by the customer. The aggregate effects of changes in
estimates relating to inventories and/or long-term contracts were not material
in the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of fiscal 2002.
Valuation of Accounts Receivable
The valuation of accounts receivable requires that the Company provide for
anticipatedestimated bad debts, by recording allowances based upon the Company's
experience, economic conditions, and a significant negative change in a
customer's financial condition. Actual bad debts could differ from estimates
used.
1112
Inventories
Portions of the inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost
being determined on the first-in, first-out basis. The remaining portions of the
inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, on a per contract basis,
with estimated total contract costs being allocated ratably to all units. The
effects of changes in estimated total contract costs are recognized in the
period determined. Losses, if any, are recognized fully when identified.
The Company periodically evaluates inventory levels, giving consideration to
factors such as the physical condition of the inventory, sales patterns and
expected future demand and estimates a reasonable amount to be provided for slow
moving, obsolete or damaged inventory. These estimates could vary significantly,
either favorablefavorably or unfavorable,unfavorably, from actual requirements based upon future
economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive factors that were
not foreseen or did not exist when the valuation allowances were established.
Goodwill
The Company adopted the provisions of SFASStatement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142), effective
the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The principal effect of
implementing SFAS No.
142 was the cessation of the amortization of goodwill in the
first sixnine months of fiscal 2002. The Company has performed the transitional
impairment test which requires comparison of carrying values to fair values and
if appropriate, the carrying value of impaired assets is reduced to fair value.
As a result of the test performed, the Company determined there was no goodwill
impairment as of the beginning of the first quarter.quarter of fiscal 2002. The test
required estimates, assumptions and judgments and results could be materially
different if different estimates, assumptions and judgments had been used. There
can be no assurance that future goodwill impairments will not occur. Intangible
assets that are not subject to amortization consist of goodwill. As of April 30,July 31,
2002, goodwill amounted to $185.6$187.9 million.
Results of Operations
The Company's results of operations in the first sixnine months of fiscal 2002
compared to the same period in fiscal 2001 has been significantly affected by
the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (September 11th), the adoption of
SFAS No. 142 and the results of operations from businesses acquired in fiscal 2001.
For the periods indicated below, the following tables set forth the results of
operations, net sales and operating income by operating segment and the

Net Sales
Net sales for the first sixnine months of fiscal 2002 totaled $84.0$126.6 million, up 3%1%
when compared to net sales of $125.2 million the first sixnine months of fiscal
2001 net sales of $81.4 million.2001. The increase in sales for the first sixnine months of fiscal 2002 sales reflects an
increase of $10.3$13.2 million (a 62%51% increase) to $26.9$38.7 million in sales from the
ETG, partially offset by a decrease of $7.4$11.3 million (an 11% decrease) to $57.4$88.3
million in sales from the FSG. The ETG sales increase mainly reflects revenues
resulting from acquisitions as the Company expanded its capabilities to include
laser navigation and power supplynavigation technologies. This increase was partially offset by continued weakness inlower
sales of EMIelectromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding products to the
electronics and communications industries. The FSG sales decrease mainly
reflects the continued impact of the terrorist attacks of September 11th on
commercial airline customers and continued softness in demand within the
component overhaul and repair services market, particularly from cargo carriers,
which resulted in lower PMAFAA-approved (PMA) parts and overhaul services sales.
This decrease was partially offset by sales ofrevenues from newly-acquired businesses.
The increase in sales attributable to newly-acquired businesses of both the ETG
and FSG approximated $16.3$20.9 million.

The Company's gross profit margins averaged 36.0%35.7% for the first sixnine months of
fiscal 2002 as compared to 43.5%42.7% for the first sixnine months of fiscal 2001. This
decrease reflects lower margins within the FSG primarily attributable to lower
sales of higher margin PMA parts and overhaul 13
services discussed above, and a
budgeted increase in new product research and development expenses of $2.3 million and an excess inventory charge of $400,000
at one of the Company's overhaul services companies.$2.8

fiscal 2001 include approximately $5.2$8.2 million and $3.0$5.4 million, respectively,
of new product research and development expenses net of reimbursements pursuant
to cooperation and joint venture agreements. FSG's new product research and
development expense for the full fiscal 2002 is expected to increase by
approximately $3 million over fiscal 2001 as the Company plans to introduce
additional new commercial jet engine and aircraft parts.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased to $18.4$28.4 million
for the first sixnine months of fiscal 2002 from $19.2$29.1 million for the first sixnine

sixnine months of fiscal 2001. The decrease in SG&A and SG&A as a percentpercentage of
sales is mainly due to the elimination of goodwill amortization ($3.35.0 million)
as required under SFAS 142, partially offset by the additional SG&A expenses of
newly-acquired businesses and accelerated marketing efforts.

months of fiscal 2001 to 14.0%13.2% in the first sixnine months of fiscal 2002. The
decrease in operating income reflects a decrease from $14.7$22.4 million to $8.0$11.7
million in the Company's FSG partially offset by an increase from $4.0$5.3 million
to $6.2$8.8 million in the Company's ETG. The decline in operating income as a

Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income decreased from $1.4$1.5 million to $92,000 fromfor the first sixnine months
of fiscal 2001 to $104,000 for the first sixnine months of fiscal 2002. ThisThe
decrease is mainly due to the inclusion in fiscal 2001 of thea gain of $657,000 on
the sale of property retained in the sale of the Trilectron product line sold in
September 2000 and thea realized gain of $179,000 on the sale of long-term
investments. The decrease also reflects lower investment interest rates and
other income in the first sixnine months of fiscal 2002.
Gain on Sale of Product Line
In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recognized an additional
pretax gain of $1,230,000 ($765,000 net of tax or $.03 per diluted share) on
sale of the Trilectron product line due to the elimination of certain reserves
upon the expiration of indemnification provisions of the sales contract.
Minority Interests

first sixnine months of fiscal 2002 and $8.7$12.7 million, or $.40$.57 per diluted share,
in the first sixnine months of fiscal 2001. For the first sixnine months of fiscal
2001, net income as adjusted on a proforma basis for the adoption of SFAS No. 142
would have been $10.8$15.9 million, or $.49$.72 per diluted share. The lower net income
in the first sixnine months of fiscal 2002 reflects the lower operating income
discussed above, partially offset by the additional gain on sale of the
Trilectron product line.

Outlook
During the second quarter ofThe Company's fiscal 2002 results to-date have been negatively impacted by the
Company experienced some recoveryevents of September 11th coupled with a weak economy as sales to airline customers as reflected by a 14% increase in sales of
FAA-approved replacement parts over the first quarter ofcommercial
airlines fell after rising throughout fiscal 2002 reflecting
some replacement of capacity by the airlines and additional product offerings by
the Company. Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 reflects an increase
of $2.0 million (a 5% increase) when compared to sales in the first quarter of
fiscal 2002 of $41.0 million. This increase reflects an increase in sales of
both the FSG and the ETG. ETG sales increased $1.3 million (10% increase) from
$12.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 due mainly to increased sales
from defense-related contracts. FSG sales increased $700,000 from $28.4 million

commercial markets will fully rebound.
Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 increased by $200,000
compared to operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 of $5.8
million. The increase reflects higher operating income in the ETG partially
offset by lower operating income in the FSG. The ETG's operating income
increased $700,000 (a 26% increase) from $2.7 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2002. This increase reflects higher sales of defense-related contracts
discussed above. FSG's operating income decreased $350,000 from $4.2 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 2002 primarily due to the inventory charge discussed
below and higher new product research and development expense partially offset
by the benefit of the higher sales discussed above.
Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 increased $1.1 million, or 5
cents per share, from $2,828,000 or 13 cents per share in the first quarter of
fiscal 2002. The increased net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2002
compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002 reflects higher sales and earnings
discussed above. In addition, net income in the second quarter reflects
$765,000, or $.03 per diluted share, related to an increase in the gain on sale
of the Trilectron product line.
The Company believes that its strategic relationships with some of the world's
major airlines; including Lufthansa, American Airlines and United Airlines
(United) demonstrates how critical the Company is to the airlines' ability to
operate cost effectively. The recently announced strategic alliance with United
is expected to provide the Company with between $100 to $150 million of non-JT8D
engine revenue over the next seven years.
In addition, the
Company's diversification of its operations beyond commercial aerospace has
cushionedhelped cushion the impact of September 11th. Including sales from newly-acquired
businesses, revenues from defense customers in fiscal 2002 increased over 70%50%
compared to the first sixnine months of fiscal 2001 and represent approximately 25%
of ourthe Company's total revenues in the first sixnine months of fiscal 2002. In
addition, approximately 10% of ourthe Company's total revenues in the first sixnine
months of fiscal 2002 were derived from markets other than the aviation and
defense industries, including industrial, medical, electronics and
telecommunications. The Company currently expects continued strengthening of its
defense markets and low to modest growth in other markets.
TheAs previously stated, the Company has also increased its new product research and
development budget for FAA-approved replacement parts by over 50% to more than $9 million in fiscal 2002
and has met targets setaccelerated marketing activities. While such expenditures have negatively
impacted near-term earnings, the Company expects such efforts will significantly
benefit future periods. Furthermore, the Company's strategic relationships with
some of the world's major airlines demonstrate its focus on medium and long-term
growth opportunities.
Operating results in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 were negatively impacted
by softer demand for new product designsthe Company's products and services by its commercial
airline customers following some strengthening in the second quarter of fiscal
2002. This reflects a slower recovery within the commercial airline industry
than previously anticipated. Also, the third quarter of fiscal 2002 was
negatively impacted by some delays in shipments of foreign military sales
resulting from delays in approvals through April
30, 2002.by government agencies. These shipments are
expected to be made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 and the first quarter
of fiscal 2003.
For the balance of fiscal 2002, the Company expects improvementssome improvement in demand
for its operating results despite someproducts and services from commercial airlines and continued strength
within its defense related products and services. In addition, the Company
recently completed a tax audit that will result in recovery of a portion of
taxes paid in prior years, which is expected to increase fourth quarter earnings
by approximately $2 million ($.08-$.09 per share), net of expenses, including
professional fees and interest. Despite the softness in the commercial aviation markets.
Based on current market conditions and customer order patterns,airline
industry, the Company estimates that earnings per share for fiscal 2002,
including the tax recovery, will be in the range of $.65-$.70 per share.
At this time, the Company expects revenuesconsiderable improvement in fiscal 2003 over
fiscal 2002. While weakness in the second half of fiscal 2002 to be up at least 10% - 15%
overairline industry may continue into the
first half of fiscal 2002 and earnings to be up at least 25% - 40% in
the same period.
Because of the uncertainties in the commercial aviation market since September
11th and the generally slow domestic economy,foreseeable future, the Company cannot predict with
certainty the near-term impact of recent events. The Company believes however, that its basic strategies will result
in long-term growth.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2001, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFASStatement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS Statement
No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of".of." SFAS 144 applies to all long-lived assets
(including discontinued operations) and consequently amends APBAccounting
Principles Board No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations - Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business" (APB 30). SFAS 144 develops one
accounting model (based on the model in SFAS 121) for long-lived assets that are
to be disposed of by sale, as well as addresses the principal implementation
issues. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by
sale be measured at the lower of bookcarrying value or fair value less cost to sell.
That requirement eliminates the requirement of APB 30 that discontinued
operations be measured at net realizable value or that entities include under
"discontinued operations" in the financial statements amounts for operating
losses that have not yet occurred. Additionally, SFAS 144 expands the scope of
discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations
that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be
eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction.
While the Company has not completed the process of determining the effect of
this new accounting pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements, the
Company currently expects that the effect of SFAS No. 144 on the Company's
financial statements, when it becomes effective, will not be significant. SFAS
144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and
generally the provisions of the statement will be applied prospectively.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4,
44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." This
statement eliminates the SFAS 4 requirement that gains and losses from
extinguishment of debt be classified as an extraordinary item, and requires that
such gains or losses be evaluated for extraordinary classification under the
criteria of APB 30, "Reporting Results of Operations." This statement also
amends SFAS 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic
effects that are similar to sales-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the
same manner as sales-leaseback transactions. SFAS 145 also makes various other
technical corrections to existing pronouncements. This statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company does not expect the
adoption of SFAS 145 to have a material effect on its results of operations or
financial position.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" (ETIF 94-3). SFAS 146 requires
recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity when the liability is incurred, as opposed to when the entity commits
to an exit plan under EITF 94-3. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is
the objective for the initial measurement of the liability. This statement is
effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 146 to have a material effect on
its results of operations or financial position.
Forward-Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act) provides a safe
harbor for forward looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The
Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral
statements that are "forward-looking," including statements contained in this
report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in
reports to the Company's shareholders. Management believes that all statements
that express expectations and projections with respect to future matters may
differ materially from that discussed as a result of factors, including, but not
limited to, the demand for commercial air travel, the adverse impact of the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on commercial airlines and the economy in
general, the extent of benefits received by U.S. airlines and air cargo carriers
under the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act, considering
any challenges to and interpretations or amendments of the Act, increasing cost
of insurance coverage as a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks,
credit risk related to receivables from customers, product specification costs
and requirements, governmental and regulatory demands, competition on military
programs, government export policies, government funding of military programs,
product pricing levels, the Company's ability to make acquisitions and achieve
operating synergies from such acquisitions, interest rates and economic
conditions within and outside of the aerospace, defense and electronics
industries. For an enterprise such as the Company, a wide range of factors could
materially affect future developments and performance. A list of such factors is
set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October
31, 2001.
