The Company's second quarter revenue of $33.1 million reflects an increase of $13.6 million (70%) from 1999 fiscal year second quarter levels. Fiscal year 2000 six month revenue of $62.9 million reflects an increase of $16.4 million (35%) from last year. Revenue increases for both the second quarter and year to date reflect the Company's continued emphasis on commercial and government repair and overhaul activities. During the second quarter and first six months, the Company's revenues from commercial and government repair and overhaul activities increased $16.8 million and 24.9 million, respectively, while new construction revenue decreased $3.2 million and 8.5 million, respectively from the comparable prior year periods.

Operating income results for the second quarter and first six months ending October 3, 1999, are primarily attributable to improved margins on commercial and government repair and overhaul activities. Operating income results for the same periods ending September 27, 1998 were due primarily to lower margins experienced in completing the Jumbo Mark II program. For the second quarter and first six months ending October 3, 1999, the Company reported net gains on the sale of available for sale securities, investment income and other income of $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
