5. Derivative Financial Instruments
On October 1, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, which requires companies to carry all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company determines the fair value of derivatives by reference to quoted market prices. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, the reason for holding it. The Company's use of derivative instruments is generally limited to cash flow hedges, as defined in SFAS No. 133, of certain interest rate risks and, to a much lesser extent, foreign currency risks.
In order to provide for interest rate risk protection, the Company from time to time enters into interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert a certain level of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. Of the $150,000 of interest rate swap agreements outstanding on March 31, 2001, $80,000 matures at various times during fiscal 2002 and $70,000 matures at various times during fiscal 2003.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on a cash flow hedge is reported in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion is reported immediately in earnings. Ineffectiveness was immaterial in the first two quarters of fiscal 2001.
Activity in OCI related to derivatives held by the Company during the period from October 1, 2000 through March 31, 2001 is summarized below:
Cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 133 $ 567
Net decrease in fair value of derivatives (2,059)
Net reclassification from OCI into earnings (408)
---------
Accumulated loss on cash flow hedges $ (1,900)
=========
Of the $1,900 accumulated loss on cash flow hedges reported in OCI at March 31, 2001, $1,171 of net losses are expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months. The fair value at derivatives at March 31, 2001 was a net $1,900 liability, most of which is included in accrued liabilities.
6. Comprehensive Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, comprehensive income (loss) was $(21) and $3,589, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, comprehensive income was $6,691, including the $567 cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 133, and $9,093, respectively. The only items of comprehensive income that are not included in net earnings are changes in unrealized loss on derivatives and foreign currency translation.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2001 of $17,645 consisted of $15,745 cumulative translation adjustments and $1,900 unrealized losses on derivative instruments.
7. Severance Liability
In connection with the November 1998 acquisition of Raytheon Aircraft Montek Company (Montek), the Company previously finalized a formal plan for integrating the operations of Montek and informed the affected employees. The Company established a $3,800 liability for severance and other related costs associated with involuntary termination of employees. The balance of the liability at March 31, 2001 was $563. The plan is expected to be completed during fiscal 2001. Any excess reserve will be adjusted to goodwill.

8. Acquisitions
On February 1, 2001, the Company paid approximately $6,700 in cash for the net assets of the Radial Piston Pump product line of Robert Bosch GmbH including $1,500 of unfunded pension liabilities. This product line has annual sales of approximately $20,000 in the design and manufacture of hydraulic pumps used for a variety of industrial applications, in particular, injection molding machinery. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to finalization, goodwill and other intangible assets resulting from this acquisition are approximately $2,500 and will be amortized over periods not exceeding 20 years.
On January 19, 2001, the Company acquired the stock of Whitton Technology Limited in the U.K. and the industrial gas turbine assets of Whitton Technology, Inc. in the U.S. for approximately $4,000 in cash and $3,000 in debt. Whitton is a designer and manufacturer of pumps and specialty products for producers of industrial power generating equipment and had sales of approximately $5,000 for the last twelve months. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to finalization, goodwill and other intangible assets resulting from this acquisition are approximately $4,800 and will be amortized over periods not exceeding 20 years.
On October 31, 2000, the Company purchased the net assets of the Vickers Electrics Division, an Italian manufacturer of high-performance electric drives with annual sales of approximately $20,000, from Aeroquip-Vickers S.p.A., an Eaton Corporation subsidiary, for approximately $10,300 in cash. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to finalization, goodwill and other intangible assets resulting from this acquisition are approximately $1,700 and will be amortized over periods not exceeding 20 years.
All of the Company's acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method, and accordingly, the operating results for the acquired businesses are included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings from the dates of acquisition.
The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the consolidated results of operations of the Company with those of the Radial Piston Pump product line, Whitton Technology and Vickers Electrics for the three and six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 as if the acquisitions took place at the beginning of each period presented. The pro forma consolidated results include the impact of certain adjustments, including amortization of intangibles and increased interest expense on acquisition debt, and related income tax effects.

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisitions had been in effect for the periods presented. In addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results.
On November 15, 2000, the Company purchased the remaining 25% minority interest of Hydrolux SARL and Moog-Hydrolux Hydraulic Systems, Inc. for $1,354. The impact of this acquisition on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition is not significant.

9. Credit Facility
On October 24, 2000, the Company amended its $340,000 Corporate Revolving and Term Loan Agreement (Credit Facility). The term loan portion of the Credit Facility, which had a balance of $48,750 at September 30, 2000, was increased to $75,000 with the difference added to the unused borrowing capacity of the revolving portion of the facility. At March 31, 2001, the Company had $89,000 of unused borrowing capacity on the Credit Facility. The amended Credit Facility expires in December 2005 and requires quarterly principal payments on the term loan of $3,750, which commenced in December 2000. Interest on the amended agreement continues at LIBOR plus 200 basis points.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
[The following should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2000.]Consolidated
On October 31, 2000, the Company purchased the net assets of the Vickers Electrics Division, an Italian manufacturer of high-performance electric drives previously owned by Aeroquip-Vickers S.p.A., an Eaton Corporation subsidiary, for approximately $10 million in cash. On January 19, 2001, the Company acquired the stock of Whitton Technology Limited in the U.K. and the industrial gas turbine assets of Whitton Technology, Inc. in the U.S. for approximately $4 million in cash plus $3 million in debt. Whitton is a designer and manufacturer of pumps and specialty products for producers of industrial power generating equipment. On February 1, 2001, the Company paid approximately $7 million in cash for the net assets of the Radial Piston Pump product line of Robert Bosch GmbH including $2 million of unfunded pension liabilities. This business involves the design and manufacture of pumps used for a variety of industrial applications, in particular injection molding machinery.
Sales for the second quarter of 2001 were $183 million compared to $161 million in the second quarter of 2000. Sales increased $13 million in Industrial Controls and $12 million in Aircraft Controls while sales decreased $3 million in Space Controls. For the first six months of 2001, sales were $340 million compared to $318 million for the first half of 2000. Sales increased $18 million in Industrial Controls and $11 million in Aircraft Controls, while sales decreased $7 million in Space Controls. Excluding the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar in the current year compared to foreign currencies, primarily the Euro and Yen, sales would have increased by $26 million in the second quarter and $32 million year-to-date compared to the same periods one year ago. During the first six months of fiscal 2001, the Company completed the three industrial acquisitions described above which generated $12 million of sales in the second quarter and $16 million of sales year-to-date.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 70.9% in the current quarter from 69.4% in the comparable quarter in 2000 due approximately equally to lower industrial margins and higher employee wage and fringe benefit costs. Year-to-date, cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 70.7% in 2001 from 69.4% in 2000 as industrial margins declined, employee wage and fringe benefit costs increased, and as redeployment of resources continued in Aircraft Controls from research and development activities to production, each contributing equally to the change.
Interest expense was $8 million for the second quarters of 2001 and 2000 and $16 million for the first six months of 2001 and 2000 as changes in interest rates offset the effects of changes in average outstanding borrowings.
Backlog at March 31, 2001 was $367 million compared to $327 million at March 31, 2000. The increase in backlog was driven primarily by strong orders received on a number of aircraft programs and by the fiscal 2001 industrial acquisitions, which contributed $13 million of incremental backlog.

Sales in Aircraft Controls increased to $87 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $75 million in the second quarter of 2000. Boeing OEM sales increased $8 million compared to one year ago. Sales to Boeing were unusually low in the second quarter of 2000 as certain manufacturing activities on the Boeing OEM business obtained as part of the November 1998 acquisition of Montek began transitioning to one of the Company’s low cost manufacturing facilities in that quarter. Sales also increased by $2 million in the aftermarket and $2 million for the F-15 program. Sales in Aircraft Controls increased to $164 million for the first half of 2001 from $153 million in the first half of 2000 as sales increased $7 million on a variety of commercial aircraft programs, primarily Boeing OEM, and $3 million on the F/A-18E/F fighter aircraft program.
Operating margins for Aircraft Controls were 13.7% in the second quarter of 2001 compared to 13.4% in the same quarter last year. On a year-to-date basis, margins were 14.8% in 2001 compared to 13.6% in 2000. The improvement in margins primarily resulted from a favorable product mix and strong cost performance in the first quarter of 2001.

Space Controls
Sales in Space Controls decreased to $26 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $29 million in the second quarter of 2000. Sales increases of $4 million for satellites were more than offset by an anticipated $7 million decrease related to the reduced level of work on the Titan IV SMRU launch vehicle program for which shipments have been completed. Year-to-date, sales in Space Controls decreased to $50 million from $57 million in the same period one year ago. Sales increases of $7 million for satellites were more than offset by a $14 million decrease in sales for launch vehicles, primarily the Titan IV program.
Operating margins for Space Controls increased to 11.6% in the second quarter of 2001 from 11.1% in the second quarter of 2000 due to improved contribution on satellite controls and better pricing on the Delta IV contracts. Margins decreased to 11.6% for the first six months of 2001 from 12.6% for the first six months of 2000. The lower margins are primarily attributable to the reduced level of work on the Titan IV program.
Industrial Controls
Sales in Industrial Controls increased to $69 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $57 million in the same period in 2000. Excluding the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and Yen in the second quarter of 2001, sales would have increased by $16 million. The acquisitions of Vickers Electrics, Whitton Technology, and the Radial Piston Pump product line generated $12 million of sales in the second quarter of 2001. Sales increases of $3 million for motion simulator controls and material testing were offset by decreases in the plastics market, particularly in the Pacific region. Year-to-date sales in Industrial Controls were $126 million compared to $108 million in 2000. Excluding currency effects, sales would have increased $25 million. The acquisitions generated $16 million of incremental sales in 2001. Sales increases of $6 million for motion simulator controls and material testing were partially offset by decreases in sales to the plastics market of $4 million.
Operating margins for Industrial Controls decreased to 9.1% in the second quarter and 8.8% year-to-date from 11.9% and 10.9% in the comparable periods in 2000. Contributing to the decline are lower margins in the plastics markets, particularly injection molding manifold products, and pricing pressures in the growing turbines business.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
On October 24, 2000, the Company amended its $340 million Corporate Revolving and Term Loan Agreement (Credit Facility). The term loan portion of the Credit Facility, which had a balance of $48.8 million at September 30, 2000, was increased to $75 million with the difference added to the unused borrowing capacity of the revolving portion of the facility. The amended Credit Facility expires in December 2005 and requires quarterly principal payments on the term loan of $3.75 million, which commenced in December 2000. Interest on the amended agreement continues at LIBOR plus 200 basis points. At March 31, 2001, the Company had $105 million of unused borrowing capacity under short and long-term lines of credit, including $89 million from the Credit Facility.
Cash on hand at March 31, 2001 was $12 million compared to $14 million at September 30, 2000. Cash provided by operations was $25 million in the first six months of 2001 compared to $7 million in the same period of 2000. The increase in cash provided by operations was primarily due to the timing of payments on various accruals and better inventory utilization. Total debt increased to $378 million from $366 million at September 30, 2000 as increased debt of $25 million related to the acquisitions was partially offset by a $13 million reduction in debt related to cash flow from operations. Long-term debt to capitalization remained at 61%.

On October 1, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, which requires companies to carry all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and if so, the reason for holding it. For the six months ended March 31, 2001, the Company’s exposure to derivatives was primarily limited to interest rate swaps. At March 31, 2001, the Company had interest rate swap agreements of $150 million outstanding, of which $80 million matures at various times during fiscal 2002 and $70 million matures at various times during fiscal 2003. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2001.
Capital expenditures for the first half of 2001 were $12 million compared with depreciation and amortization of $15 million. Capital expenditures for the first half of 2000 were $8 million compared with depreciation and amortization of $15 million. Capital expenditures in 2001 are expected to be approximately $25 million.
The Company believes that its cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under short and long-term lines of credit will continue to be sufficient to meet its operating needs.
The Company has reviewed Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” which the Company is required to adopt in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact this SAB will have on its financial statements.
Outlook
The Company has updated its outlook and is now forecasting sales in 2001 to approximate $701 million, a 9% increase over 2000 sales of $644 million. Forecasted sales increases over 2000 of $48 million in Industrial Controls to $268 million and $20 million in Aircraft Controls to $332 million are expected to be offset by an $11 million decrease in Space Controls to $101 million. Sales in Industrial Controls are expected to increase primarily due to the acquisitions of Vickers Electrics, Whitton Technology, and the Radial Piston Pump product line. Sales in Aircraft Controls are expected to grow as a result of increased production rates of the F/A-18E/F and Boeing 7-series commercial airplanes, and development work on regional aircraft and business jets. Recent developments on the V-22 tiltrotor program have caused the ramp-up to full production quantities to be delayed while the program’s status is reviewed. Accordingly, the Company has reassessed its sales forecast and determined that the outlook for fiscal 2001 sales on this program will not be significantly affected. Sales in Space Controls are expected to decrease as increases in the sales of controls for satellites, tactical missiles, and the Space Station X-38 will not fully offset the decline in sales on various launch vehicle programs including the Titan IV SMRU program which has completed shipments.
The operating margin for 2001 is expected to decrease to 12.2% from 12.4% in 2000. Margins are forecasted to increase compared to 2000 to 14.6% in Aircraft Controls due to higher forecasted sales and to 12.2% in Space Controls due to the strength of the satellites business while margins are expected to decrease to 9.2% in Industrial Controls from pricing pressures on turbine controls and product mix. Earnings per share is expected to increase by 11% to $3.16.
