UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20549 FORM 8-K CURRENT REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Date of Report (Date of Earliest Event Reported): May 5, 1999 (April 20, 1999) Commission File Number 1-6560 THE FAIRCHILD CORPORATION (Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter) Delaware 34-0728587 (State or other jurisdiction of (I.R.S. Employer Identification No.) Incorporation or organization) 45025 Aviation Drive, Suite 400 Dulles, VA 20166 (Address of principal executive offices) (Zip Code) Registrant's telephone number, including area code (703) 478-5800 ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. On April 20, 1999, The Fairchild Corporation acquired all of the shares of stock of Kaynar Technologies, Inc. ("KTI") from KTI's shareholders, for approximately $222 million. A merger agreement for the transaction was entered into on December 26, 1998, and was approved by KTI's shareholders on March 24, 1999. The merger consideration was determined as follows: (1) each share of KTI common stock (other than shares owned by Fairchild or its subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive $28.75 per share; (2) each share of KTI preferred stock (other than shares owned by Fairchild or its subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive $22.09 per share; and (3) all outstanding stock options to acquire KTI common stock were converted into the right to receive $28.75 per stock option share, less the exercise price for such stock option shares. In addition to the merger consideration, Fairchild paid KTI's only preferred stockholder $28 million for a ten year covenant not to compete, and assumed and refinanced approximately $103 million of KTI debt. The merger consideration was financed by the following: (1) Fairchild's cash resources; (2) The sale of $225 million of Fairchild's 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2009, to qualified investors under Rule 144A; and (3) A new credit facility with Citicorp USA, Inc. and NationsBank, NA as Administrative Agents. KTI designs, develops, and manufactures specialty fastener components and tooling systems, with manufacturing facilities in the United States, Australia and Hungary. Fairchild presently intends to continue such operations, subject however to cost savings to be achieved by integrating KTI's operations with Fairchild's existing fastener operations. Additional information is indicated in Fairchild's press release issued on April 20, 1999, which is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS. (a) FINACIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED. The audited financial statements required by Item 7 (a) of Form 8-K are being filed as an exhibit to this Report and are incorporated herein by reference. (b) PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINACIAL INFORMATION. The KTI Acquisition On April 20, 1999, we completed the acquisition of all of Kaynar Technologies, Inc. ("KTI") capital stock for approximately $222 million and assumed approximately $103 million of KTI's existing debt. In addition, the purchase price included $28 million for a covenant not to compete from KTI's largest shareholder. The acquisition was financed with existing cash, the sale of $225 million of 10 3/4% senior subordinated notes (the "Notes") and a new bank credit facility. The Banner Merger On April 8, 1999, we acquired the remaining 15% of the outstanding common and preferred stock of Banner not already owned by us, through the merger (the ''Banner Merger'') of Banner with one of our subsidiaries. Under the terms of the Banner Merger, each share of Banner's preferred stock was converted into the right to receive one share of Banner common stock and each share of Banner common stock (other than those owned by Fairchild) was converted into the right to receive .7885 shares of our Class A common stock. Banner is now our wholly-owned subsidiary. Solair Divestiture On December 31, 1998, Banner consummated the sale of Solair, Inc., Banner's largest subsidiary in its rotables group, to Kellstrom Industries, Inc. in exchange for approximately $57.0 million in cash and a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock of Kellstrom. Hardware Business Disposition On January 13, 1998, Banner completed the disposition of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of its hardware companies and PacAero unit (the ''Hardware Business'') to subsidiaries of AlliedSignal in exchange for AlliedSignal common stock with an aggregate value equal to approximately $369.0 million. New Credit Facility Simultaneously with the consummation of the KTI Acquisition and the sale of the Notes, we entered into a new $325.0 million credit facility (the ''New Credit Facility'') which consists of a $225.0 million term loan, and a $100.0 million revolving credit facility of which approximately $22.0 million was drawn upon consummation of the acqusition of KTI (excluding approximately $19.0 million of outstanding letters of credit). Use of Proceeds The proceeds from the offering, together with borrowings under the New Credit Facility and certain other cash available to us, was utilized to consummate the KTI Acquisition, to repay all amounts outstanding under our existing credit facilities and to repay substantially all indebtedness of KTI. The KTI Acquisition, the Banner Merger, the sale of the Notes, the sale of Solair and Banner's Hardware Business, entering into the New Credit Facility and refinancing of the existing credit facilities and certain KTI indebtedness, together with the payment of related fees and expenses, are collectively referred to in this Form 8-K as the ''Transactions.''

Dated: May 5, 1999 THE FAIRCHILD CORPORATION By: Colin M. Cohen Senior Vice President Chief Financial Officer EXHIBIT INDEX Exhibit No. Description 2.1 Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and among The Fairchild Corporation, Dah Dah, Inc. and Kaynar Technologies Inc., dated as of December 26, 1998. (Incorporated by reference to Registrant's Report on Form 8-K, filed December 30, 1998.) 99.1 Press Release of The Fairchild Corporation, dated April 20, 1999. (Filed herewith.) 99.2 Financial statements, related notes thereto and Auditors' Report of Kaynar Technologies, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. Exhibit 99.1 The Fairchild Corporation [FA] Becomes Global Leader in Aerospace Fastening Devices as It Completes Acquisition of Kaynar Technologies Inc. [KTIC] Dulles, Virginia (April 20, 1999) - The Fairchild Corporation [NYSE: FA] today completed its acquisition of Kaynar Technologies Inc. (KTI) [NASDAQ: KTIC], creating the global industry leader in the manufacture and distribution of aerospace fasteners and fastening devices. Fairchild acquired KTI for approximately $261 million plus the assumption of debt. The purchase was financed by Fairchild's cash resources, the sale of $225 million of senior subordinated notes and a new bank credit facility. "The acquisition of KTI creates the leading global aerospace fastener company, offering the largest complementary product range to our worldwide customers" said Jeffrey J. Steiner, Chairman and CEO of Fairchild. "The combined company has annual revenues of nearly $800 million, with 17 plants in North America, Europe and Asia, enabling us to source product and service our customers from a local base," said Eric Steiner, President of Fairchild. "Our revenue base is comprehensive: 38% of our sales are to new aircraft and engine manufacturers, industrial and defense users provide 30%, and 32% originate from the aerospace aftermarket. This diversity of customers will reduce our exposure to cyclical trends in our industry." Exhibit 99.1 / PAGE 1 OF 2 Fairchild announced that the integration of the two companies would begin immediately. Fairchild expects to realize substantial benefits from operational synergies and cost savings as a result of the combination. "We are enthusiastic about the opportunity to meld the high productivity and quality standards of the two companies," said Eric Steiner, noting that KTI was selected as number eight on Forbes magazine's most recent list of the "200 Best Small Companies" in the United States. Both companies have made extensive investments in recent years, to improve plant and extend training. On April 8th Fairchild completed its merger with Banner Aerospace, Inc. [NYSE: BAR] acquiring the remaining 15 percent of Banner's capital stock it did not already own. Banner Aerospace, is an aftermarket distribution company. The senior subordinated notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27-A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21-E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements as a result of the risks associated with the Company's business, changes in general economic conditions, and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. Exhibit 99.1 / PAGE 2 OF 2 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors of Kaynar Technologies Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kaynar Technologies Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kaynar Technologies Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Exhibit 99.2 / Page 7 of 24 KAYNAR TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) 1. Nature of Operations and Recent Developments Kaynar Technologies Inc. (the "Company") is a leading precision fabricator that designs, develops and manufactures a wide range of specialty components and tooling systems and provides related services used primarily by original equipment manufacturers ("OEM's") and their subcontractors to produce aircraft and defense products. In addition, the Company serves the automotive, electrical and other industrial markets and their associated after-markets. On December 26, 1998, the Company entered into a merger agreement with The Fairchild Corporation ("Fairchild") in which the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Fairchild (the "Fairchild Merger"). Upon the effectiveness of the Fairchild Merger, each outstanding share of the Company's common stock, with the exception of shares held by stockholders who properly exercise dissenters' rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law and shares held by Fairchild, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $28.75 in cash. The closing of the Fairchild Merger is subject to certain conditions, including regulatory approval, financing and approval of the Company's stockholders. 2. Business Combinations On July 28, 1998, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of M & M Machine & Tool Company Co. ("M & M"). M & M, located in Huntington Beach, California, specializes in the machining of structural components and assemblies for aircraft which include pylons, flap hinges, struts, wing fittings, landing gear parts, spars, and many others. As consideration for this acquisition, the Company paid the M & M stockholders $12,441 in cash and 376,142 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $8,294. In addition, the Company will pay additional consideration of $2,000 (60% in cash and 40% in shares of KTI common stock) based on M & M's recasted earnings before interest, taxes and transaction costs related to the acquisition for its fiscal year ended October 31, 1998 (which was accrued for and included in other accrued expenses as of December 31, 1998). The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets by $17,850, which is being allocated as goodwill and amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years. The M & M acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the operating results of M & M have been included in the Company's results of operations since late- July 1998. Exhibit 99.2 / Page 8 of 24 On October 27, 1998, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Marcliff Corporation which holds all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Marson Creative Fastener, Inc. ("Marson"). Located in Stoughton, Massachusetts, Marson designs, manufactures, and markets a broad line of blind rivets, threaded inserts, and setting tools primarily for industrial markets. As consideration for this acquisition, the Company paid the Marson stockholders $34,000 in cash (of which $9,058 was used to pay off Marson's outstanding debt as of the acquisition date). In addition, the Company will pay additional consideration of $1,111 based on Marson's closing balance sheet as of the acquisition date (which was accrued for and included in other accrued expenses as of December 31, 1998). The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets by $23,217, which is being allocated as goodwill and amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years. The Marson acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the operating results of Marson have been included in the Company's results of operations since late-October 1998. 3. Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited) The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income information present the results of the Company's operations for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 as though the acquisitions of M & M and Marson had occurred as of the beginning of each respective calendar year: 1998 1997 > Net sales $220,374 $195,654 Net income 15,971 14,047 Earnings per share Basic 3.42 4.16 Diluted 1.71 1.64 The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations had the acquisitions taken place at the beginning of the fiscal year or the results that may occur in the future. The pro forma results include additional interest on borrowed funds, additional amortization of goodwill resulting from the acquisitions and the change in salary and benefit costs of certain officers of the acquired companies. Exhibit 99.2 / Page 9 of 24 4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies a. Use of Estimates in Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. b. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kaynar Technologies Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. c. Revenue Recognition Sales and related costs are recorded by the Company upon shipment of product. Revenues related to the rental of the Company's K-FAST tools, which are not significant, are recognized monthly over the term of the lease. Revenues related to the Company's APS business unit, which are not significant, are recognized based on percentage of completion. d. Currency Translation Adjustment Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at the year-end rate of exchange. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange for the period. Gains and losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of income. e. Marketable Securities The Company invests excess cash in a money market fund that invests in short term (maturities of 397 days or less) direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury. Exhibit 99.2 / Page 10 of 24 f. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and market based upon the lower of replacement cost or estimated realizable value. Inventory costs include material, labor and factory overhead. g. Property, Plant and Equipment Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets (ranging from five to ten years). Cost and accumulated depreciation for property retired or disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in operations. Major renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. h. Intangible Assets Intangible assets primarily represent the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired and related acquisition costs incurred in the acquisitions of Recoil, M & M and Marson. Intangibles are amortized using the straight-line method from the date of acquisition over the expected period to be benefited, currently estimated between 20 and 40 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." i. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value as of December 31, 1998 and 1997. The carrying amounts of the line-of- credit and long-term debt approximate fair value as the obligations bear interest at rates that fluctuate with the market rate. The carrying amount of the term loans approximates fair value as the obligation compares favorably with fixed rate obligations that would be currently available to the Company. j. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes payable or refundable at the date of the financial statements as a result of all events that have been recognized in the financial statements and as measured by the provisions of enacted laws. Exhibit 99.2 / Page 11 of 24 k. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of other securities. The Company's other securities are (i) Series C Convertible Preferred stock and (ii) outstanding common stock options. The table below details the components of the basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") calculations: Years ended December 31, 1998 1997 1996 ---------------- --------------- ---------------- Income Shares Income Shares Income Shares (Amounts in thousands) Basic EPS Net income $14,870 4,382 $12,590 2,967 $5,295 1,594 Less: dividends on previously issued preferred stock (34) (96) ------- ----- ------- ----- ------ ----- Income available to common stockholders 14,870 4,382 12,556 2,967 5,199 1,594 Exhibit 99.2 / Page 12 of 24 Effect of Dilutive Securities Series C Convertible Preferred stock- 4,688 34 5,206 96 5,206 Options and other- 15 - - - - ------- ----- ------- ----- ------ ----- Diluted EPS $14,870 9,085 $12,590 8,173 $5,295 6,800 ======= ===== ======= ===== ====== ===== l. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. 5. Inventories.

Debt Arrangements The Company entered into a Third Restated and Amended Credit Agreement on October 23, 1998 (the "Third Credit Agreement") with its primary lender General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC") which has a wholly owned subsidiary, CFE, Inc. ("CFE"), that owned all of the outstanding shares of the Company's Series C Preferred stock and one million shares of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 1998. The Third Credit Agreement contains significant financial and operating covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness and restrictions on, among other things, the Company's ability to pay dividends or take certain other corporate actions. The Third Credit Agreement also requires the Company to be in compliance with certain financial ratios. In addition to the Term Loan under the Third Credit Agreement ("Term Loan"), the Company has entered into promissory notes with other lenders for the purchase of certain property, machinery and equipment ("The Notes"). Exhibit 99.2 / Page 15 of 24 The following schedule summarizes the future annual minimum principal payments due under the Term Loan and The Notes as of December 31, 1998: Term The Loan Notes Total 1999 $ 1,700 $ 2,354 $ 4,054 2000 1,700 2,178 3,878 2001 1,700 1,495 3,195 2002 1,700 1,177 2,877 2003 67,200 789 67,989 Thereafter- 2,685 2,685 ------- ------- ------- $74,000 $10,678 $84,678 ======= ======= ======= Debt arrangements are described as follows: a. Term Loan On October 23, 1998, the Company entered into the Third Credit Agreement which amended its existing Term Loan with GECC, increasing the borrowing capacity of the Term Loan to $74,000. The Term Loan bears interest, payable every 30 to 90 days, at LIBOR rate plus one and one-half percent (which was 6.8 percent at December 31, 1998). Principal payments of $425 are due quarterly through October 1, 2002, with a final payment of $67,200 due January 3, 2003. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, outstanding principal under the Term Loan totaled $74,000 and $25,525, respectively. Interest expense on the Term Loan for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $2,712, $2,498 and $2,400, respectively. The Term Loan is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. b. The Notes The Company has promissory notes with financing institutions, which are secured by certain property, machinery and equipment. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the outstanding principal under the Notes was $10,678 and $1,868, respectively. The Notes bear interest at interest rates ranging from 4.9 percent to 10.5 percent per annum. Monthly payments are payable through June 1, 2008. c. Line-of-Credit The line-of-credit with GECC (the "LOC") is a $25,000 revolving credit facility, limited by the lesser of the sum of specified portions of qualified accounts receivable and inventory, and $25,000. Exhibit 99.2 / Page 16 of 24 Interest is payable every 30 to 90 days at LIBOR rate plus one and one- half percent (which was 7.1 percent at December 31, 1998). The LOC, which expires January 3, 2003, had $13,000 outstanding at December 31, 1998 and had no borrowings at December 31, 1997. Interest expense on LOC for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $497, $129 and $682, respectively. 9. Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Each share of the Series C Preferred stock is convertible at any time into one share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to certain anti- dilutive adjustments. The Series C Preferred stock will participate in any dividends paid on the common stock as if the Series C Preferred stock had been converted into common stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series C Preferred stock will be entitled to receive a liquidation preference out of the assets available for distribution in an amount equal to $0.22 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, before any distribution is made to the holders of the common stock. On June 26, 1998, CFE elected to convert one million such shares into one million shares of common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Series C preferred stock. 10. Stock Incentive Plan In 1997, the Company adopted the Kaynar Technologies Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which authorized 500,000 stock option grants to purchase the Company's common stock. The Company has granted 115,400 options in 1997 and 147,900 options in 1998 with a weighted average exercise price of $24.77 and $11.71, respectively, under the Plan (of which 9,200 options with an exercise price of $25.00 were cancelled during 1998). These options were issued at fair market value at the time of grant. Option grants are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Options vest at 25 percent per year (beginning one year from the grant date), may be exercisable in whole or in installments, and expire five years from the grant date. The weighted average exercise price of options outstanding as of December 31, 1998 is $17.16. The weighted average contractual life of options outstanding as of December 31, 1998 is 4.3 years. The weighted average exercise price of options exercisable as of December 31, 1998 is $24.75. Exhibit 99.2 / Page 17 of 24 Characteristics of options outstanding at December 31, 1998 are presented in the table below: Exercise Contractual Options Options Price Life Outstanding Exercisable $ 9.25 4.8 years 119,000 - $14.50 3.3 years 3,000 750 $15.88 4.8 years 12,000 - $19.00 4.6 years 3,000 - $25.00 3.7 years 102,000 25,500 $26.75 4.1 years 1,500 - $27.75 4.2 years 12,400 - $29.50 3.8 years 1,200 300 254,100 26,550 The Company accounts for the Plan under APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was issued by the FASB in 1995 and, if fully adopted, changes the methods for recognition of cost on plans similar to those of the Company. Adoption of SFAS No. 123 is optional, however pro forma disclosures as if the Company had adopted the cost recognition method are required. Had compensation cost for stock options awarded under the Plan been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have reflected the following pro forma amounts as of December 31, 1998 and 1997: 1998 1997 Net Income: As Reported $14,870 $12,590 Pro Forma $14,417 $12,439 Basic EPS: As Reported $3.39 $4.23 Pro Forma $3.29 $4.18 Diluted EPS: As Reported $1.64 $1.54 Pro Forma $1.59 $1.52 For the above pro forma disclosures, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: weighted average risk-free interest rate of 5.0 percent; a weighted average volatility of 56.5 percent; estimated option life of 4 years; and no expected dividend yield. The weighted average fair value of the Company's stock options granted in 1998 and 1997 was $5.68 and $12.02, respectively. Exhibit 99.2 / Page 18 of 24 11. Savings and Retirement Plan The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan (the "Retirement Plan"), which provides benefits to all employees who have completed six months of service. Employees may make contributions between one and 21 percent of their annual compensation. The Company may make contributions to the Retirement Plan at its discretion. The Company contributed approximately $1,461, $988 and $577 to the Retirement Plan in the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. 12. Commitments and Contingencies a. Operating Leases The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under long-term operating leases with varying terms. The leases generally provide that the Company pay taxes, maintenance and insurance costs, and some leases contain renewal and/or purchase options. Total rental expense under operating leases totaled approximately $1,975, $1,231 and $1,187 in the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Minimum rental expenses on commitments for the years subsequent to December 31, 1998, are as follows: Year ending December 31, 1999 $ 2,125 2000 1,927 2001 1,696 2002 1,519 2003 1,006 Thereafter 2,108 ------- $10,381 ======= Exhibit 99.2 / Page 19 of 24 b.

Purchase Commitments The Company has certain one-year purchase commitments which require that all purchases of particular raw materials be purchased from various vendors at a fixed price, none of which exceeded fair market value as of December 31, 1998. d. Contingencies The Company is, from time to time, subject to claims and disputes for legal, environmental and other matters in the normal course of its business. While the results of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the final outcome of any pending matters will have a material effect on the consolidated financial position and results of operations. 13.
