3. Acquisitions
On October 30, 1998, the Company acquired a 75% shareholding of Hydrolux SARL, a
Luxembourg designer and manufacturer of hydraulic power control systems for
industrial machinery from Paul Wurth SARL. As part of the transaction, the
Company increased its ownership to 75% of Moog-Hydrolux Hydraulic Systems, Inc.
(Moog-Hydrolux), a joint venture the Company formed in fiscal 1996 with Hydrolux
SARL, to serve the North American market. The Company previously owned 50% of
Moog-Hydrolux. After the transaction, Paul Wurth SARL owns the remaining 25%
minority interest in Hydrolux SARL and Moog-Hydrolux. The purchase price was
$8,200 in cash, plus the assumption of $6,400 of debt. Based on a preliminary
purchase price allocation, which is subject to finalization, intangible assets
resulting from this acquisition are approximately $1 million and will be
amortized over 30 years.
On November 30, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition from Raytheon
Aircraft Company of all the outstanding common stock of Raytheon Aircraft Montek
Company (Montek) for approximately $160,000 in cash. Montek, located in Salt
Lake City, Utah, is a supplier of flight controls to the Boeing Commercial
Airplane Group and to manufacturers of regional aircraft and business jets
including the Raytheon Aircraft Company. Montek also produces steering controls
for tactical missiles and servovalves for both industrial and aerospace
applications. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject
to finalization, intangible assets resulting from this acquisition are
approximately $118,000 and will be amortized over 40 years. In connection with
the preliminary allocation of the purchase price, the Company established a
$3,000 reserve for severance and other related costs associated with expected
involuntarily terminated employees. At March 31, 1999, the balance of the
reserve was $2,700. During the second quarter, the Company incurred $300 in
severance-related costs for initial workforce reductions. The Company has
developed a formal plan for integrating the operations of Montek and will inform
the impacted employees during the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Any change to
the reserve as a result of the completion of the plan of integration will be
reflected in the final purchase price allocation.
In connection with the acquisition of Montek, the Company refinanced its U.S.
credit facilities. Effective November 30, 1998, the Company entered into a
$340,000 Corporate Revolving and Term Loan Agreement (Credit Facility) with a
banking group. The Credit Facility provides a $265,000 revolving facility and a
$75,000 term loan with interest starting at LIBOR plus 200 basis points, with
the spread adjusted based on leverage. The Credit Facility is for a five year
period with quarterly principal payments on the term loan of $3,750 commencing
in March 1999. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the
Company's U.S. assets. The loan agreement includes customary covenants for a
transaction of this nature, including maintaining various financial ratios. The
Credit Facility was used primarily to acquire Montek and to refinance
approximately $72,000 of existing revolving credit facilities with the remaining
balance available for future working capital requirements.
On December 3, 1998, the Company acquired a 66-2/3% shareholding in Microset
Srl, an Italian designer and manufacturer of electronic controls for industrial
machinery for $3,500 in cash.
Hydrolux SARL, Moog-Hydrolux and Microset Srl are referred to as the Acquired
Industrial Businesses.
All of the Company's acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method,
and accordingly, the operating results for the acquired companies are included
in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings from the dates of
acquisition.
The following summary, prepared on a proforma basis, combines the consolidated
results of operations of the Company, Montek and the Acquired Industrial
Businesses for the three and six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 as if the
acquisitions took place at the beginning of each period presented. The proforma
consolidated results include the impact of certain adjustments, including
amortization of intangibles and increased interest expense on acquisition debt,
and related income tax effects.

6. Segment Information
Effective with the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information, which requires financial information to
be reported on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment
performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. The Company's
reportable segments under SFAS No. 131 are Aircraft Controls, Satellite and
Launch Vehicle Controls and Industrial Controls. The operating results of the
segments are reviewed regularly by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
The determination of the Company's reportable segments was based on a
combination of differences in products sold by each segment as well as the
markets that are served.
The Aircraft Controls segment supplies technologically advanced flight controls,
engine controls and servovalves or servoactuators to manufacturers of commercial
and military aircraft. Aircraft Controls designs and manufactures primary and
secondary flight controls and engine controls. Moog has supplied high
performance servoactuators to move flight control surfaces on almost every U.S.
military aircraft since the 1950's. The Company recently began initial
production on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and the V-22 Osprey as well as delivery
of flight and engine control actuation for the Joint Strike Fighter concept
demonstrator aircraft. The Company supplies controls for Boeing's 737, 747, 757,
767 and 777 airplanes, Airbus's A310, A320, A330 and A340 airplanes, as well as
for many regional and business aircraft.
The Satellite and Launch Vehicle Controls segment designs and manufactures
motion, fluid and propellant controls and systems used to control the flight and
positioning of satellites, positioning of solar panels and antennas, thrust of
space launch vehicles, and steering of tactical and strategic missiles.
Customers for the Company's products include Boeing, Hughes, Lockheed Martin and
Loral Space. Significant programs include the Titan IV, Delta and Atlas Centaur
launch vehicles and numerous satellite programs.
The Industrial Controls segment manufactures hydraulic and electric controls
which are used in a wide variety of industrial applications requiring the
precise control of position, velocity and force. Moog believes it is the world's
market leader in industrial servovalves. Applications for hydraulic controls
include plastic injection and blow molding machines, steam and gas turbines,
steel rolling mills and fatigue testing machinery. In the field of power
generation, Moog is the leading servovalve supplier to GE and its licensees and
to Siemens Westinghouse. Applications for electric controls include motion
simulators, military ground vehicles, plastic injection and blow molding
machines, material handling robots, carpet manufacturing and packaging
equipment. Applications for electric controls range from the motion simulator on
MCA-Universal's Spiderman theme park attraction to electric drives for Wegmann
PzH 2000 howitzers.
Below are the revenues and operating profit by segment for the three and six
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 and a reconciliation of segment operating
profit to earnings before income taxes. Prior year information has been
presented to conform to the new presentation of segment information.

Total segment assets at March 31, 1999 were $757,728 compared to $543,489 at
September 26, 1998. The increase is due primarily to the acquisition of Montek.
7. Comprehensive Income
In the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income, which established standards for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income and its components in an annual financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements. This standard also requires that companies report a total for
comprehensive income in condensed financial statements of interim periods.
The only item of comprehensive income that is not included in net earnings is
foreign currency translation. For the three months ended March 31, 1999 and
1998, comprehensive income was $1,214 and $3,891, respectively. For the six
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, comprehensive income was $8,460 and
$6,171, respectively.
8. Sale of Assets
During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company sold land and building
totaling $2,600 that was acquired as part of the acquisition of Schaeffer
Magnetics, Inc. in February 1998. There was no gain or loss on the sale.

MCA-Universal's Spiderman theme park attraction to electric drives for Wegmann
PzH 2000 howitzers.
Overview
On October 30, 1998, the Company acquired a 75% shareholding of Hydrolux SARL, a
Luxembourg designer and manufacturer of hydraulic power control systems for
industrial machinery from Paul Wurth SARL. As part of the transaction, the
Company increased its ownership to 75% of Moog-Hydrolux Hydraulic Systems, Inc.
(Moog-Hydrolux), a joint venture the Company formed in fiscal 1996 with Hydrolux
SARL, to serve the North American market. The Company previously owned 50% of
Moog-Hydrolux. After the transaction, Paul Wurth SARL owns the remaining 25%
minority interest in Hydrolux SARL and Moog-Hydrolux. The purchase price was
$8,200 in cash, plus the assumption of $6,400 of debt.
On November 30, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition from Raytheon
Aircraft Company of all the outstanding common stock of Raytheon Aircraft Montek
Company (Montek) for approximately $160,000 in cash. Montek, located in Salt
Lake City, Utah, is a supplier of flight controls to the Boeing Commercial
Airplane Group and to manufacturers of regional aircraft and business jets
including the Raytheon Aircraft Company. Montek also produces steering controls
for tactical missiles and servovalves for both industrial and aerospace
applications.
On December 3, 1998, the Company acquired a 66-2/3% shareholding in Microset
Srl, an Italian designer and manufacturer of electronic controls for industrial
machinery for $3,500 in cash.
Hydrolux SARL, Moog-Hydrolux and Microset Srl are referred to as the Acquired
Industrial Businesses.
Results of Operations
Consolidated
Sales for the current quarter were $161.9 million, up 20% from $134.5 million in
the same period of fiscal 1998. The previously mentioned acquisitions in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 added $30 million to consolidated sales in the
current quarter, with Montek accounting for approximately three-quarters of the
incremental sales. Sales year-to-date were $310.4 million, an increase of 19%
from last year's sales of $260.6 million. The increase is due primarily to the
current year acquisitions and the acquisition of Schaeffer Magnetics, Inc.
(Schaeffer) in February 1998, which collectively added $48 million, with Montek
adding $32 million.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 68.3% in the current quarter versus
69.9% in the same quarter a year ago. On a six month basis, cost of sales was
68.7% in the current year versus 70.3% last year. The improvement is due
primarily to better margins in Industrial Controls, reflecting a shift in sales
to higher margin electric controls for military ground vehicles. To a lesser
extent, margins improved due to higher aftermarket sales in Aircraft Controls
and improving margins in the Asia Pacific.
Research and development expenses increased by $2.4 million to $9.0 million in
the current quarter and by $6.5 million year-to-date to $18.2 million. The
increase is due primarily to additional efforts related to the development of
next generation flight controls and other activities within the Aircraft
Controls segment. It is expected that costs associated with the next generation
flight controls will trend downward during the remainder of the fiscal year with
a shift of a portion of these efforts to cost of sales and selling, general and
administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $25.7 million, or 15.9%
of net sales, in the current quarter as compared to $ 21.5 million, or 16.0% of
net sales, in the same period a year ago. Year-to-date SG&A expenses were $48.5
million, or 15.6% of net sales, compared to $41.4 million, or 15.9% of net
sales, in the same period last year. The increases in dollar terms are due
primarily to the current year acquisitions and the February 1998 acquisition of
Schaeffer.
Interest expense increased $2.1 million in the current quarter to $7.3 million
and $1.6 million year-to-date to $12.8 million compared to a year ago due to
higher average outstanding borrowings resulting from the indebtedness incurred
to finance the first quarter acquisitions.
The Company's effective tax rate for the current quarter was 33% compared to 35%
a year ago. The current quarter tax rate reflects higher foreign tax credit
benefits resulting from distributions from the Company's German subsidiary.
Backlog at March 31, 1999 was $346.9 million compared to $311.0 million at March
31, 1998. The increase is due to the acquisition of Montek. Backlog consists
only of that portion of firm orders for which sales are expected to be
recognized over the next twelve months.

Aircraft Controls
Sales in the Aircraft Controls segment increased $13.3 million in the current
quarter to $77.6 million as compared to $64.3 million in the same quarter a year
ago. The increase is due to the previously mentioned acquisition of Montek,
which added approximately $17 million in sales, mostly related to commercial
aircraft. The incremental Montek sales were partially offset by anticipated
declines in sales on the B-2 bomber program and existing Boeing OEM business.
Sales year-to-date increased $23.6 million to $150.7 million as compared to
$127.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 1998. The Montek acquisition
contributed $25 million to year-to-date sales. Stronger military aftermarket
sales, particularly F-18 spares provisioning and foreign military spares on F-16
hardware were more than offset by the declines in B-2 bomber sales and existing
Boeing OEM business.
Operating margins for the Aircraft Controls segment were 12.5% in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to 11.9% in the same period last year. Favorable
margins associated with increased aftermarket sales, in part related to the
Montek acquisition, helped offset approximately $2 million of additional costs
incurred with respect to the development of next generation flight controls and
other research and development activities. Operating margins for the first six
months of fiscal 1999 were 11.9%, which is constant with fiscal 1998 margins.
Stronger second quarter margins were more than offset by higher research and
development expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
Satellite and Launch Vehicle Controls
Sales in the Satellite and Launch Vehicle Controls segment were $30.1 million in
the second quarter of fiscal 1999, up $7.0 million from the same period a year
ago. The acquisition of Montek added approximately $4 million of sales of
tactical missile hardware. The remainder of the increase was due to increased
sales related to the Titan IV launch vehicle program and thrust vector controls
for the Delta family of launch vehicles. Sales year-to-date were $52.9 million
compared to $43.6 million in fiscal 1998. Montek and Schaeffer collectively
contributed approximately $9 million in incremental sales in fiscal 1999. These
year-to-date increases, along with increased volume for the Titan IV and Delta
launch vehicles, helped offset first quarter declines in satellite propulsion
hardware.
Operating margins for the Satellite and Launch Vehicle Controls segment were
11.6% in the current quarter compared to 13.0% in the same period a year ago. On
a year-to-date basis, operating margins were 10.7% compared to 13.4% in the
prior year. The decrease in both periods is associated with unfavorable cost
experience in the satellite controls product line resulting primarily from lower
sales as delays in contract awards on new constellation programs continue.
Industrial Controls
Sales in the Industrial Controls segment increased $7.1 million to $54.2 million
in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 from $47.1 million in the same quarter of
last year. The first quarter acquisitions contributed $9 million to current year
sales. The U.S. hydraulics business experienced some softening in the material
test and steel industries resulting in a $1 million sales decline. Increased
sales of electric drives for military ground vehicles of approximately $2
million on the strength of the European PzH 2000 howitzer program offset sales
declines in entertainment simulators as the program related to the Spiderman
attraction at Universal Studios is winding down. Sales for the first half of
fiscal 1999 were $106.8 million compared to $89.9 million in the same period of
fiscal 1998. Acquisitions accounted for $13 million of the year-to-date
increase. The remainder of the increase is primarily due to increased sales of
electric controls for military ground vehicles both in Europe and the U.S.
Operating margins for the Industrial Controls segment were 10.1% in the current
quarter versus 8.8% in the same period a year ago. The contribution related to
higher sales of electric controls for military ground vehicles, which more than
offset losses experienced in the Acquired Industrial Businesses. Year-to-date,
margins were 10.7% compared to 8.9% in fiscal 1998. The improvement is due to
higher sales of electric controls for military ground vehicles and higher sales
of hydraulic controls in Germany and improving margins in the Asia-Pacific,
partially offset by losses associated with the Acquired Industrial Businesses.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
In connection with the acquisition of Montek, the Company refinanced its U.S.
credit facilities. Effective November 30, 1998, the Company entered into a $340
million Corporate Revolving and Term Loan Agreement (Credit Facility) with a
banking group. The Credit Facility provides a $265 million revolving facility
and a $75 million term loan with interest starting at LIBOR plus 200 basis
points, with the spread adjusted based on leverage. The Credit Facility is for a
five year period with quarterly principal payments on the term loan of $3.75
million commencing in March 1999. The Credit Facility is secured by
substantially all of the Company's U.S. assets. The loan agreement includes
customary covenants for a transaction of this nature, including maintaining
various financial ratios. The Credit Facility was used primarily to acquire
Montek and to refinance approximately $72 million of existing revolving credit
facilities with the remaining balance available for future working capital
requirements.
Long-term senior debt increased $143.4 million during the first half of fiscal
1999 to $223.1 million at March 31, 1999. The percentage of long-term debt to
capitalization increased to 63.2% from 51.1% at September 26, 1998. These
increases are a direct result of financing the first quarter acquisitions,
offset by the utilization of cash generated from current year operations to pay
down borrowings on the Credit Facility.
At March 31, 1999, the Company had $124.8 million of unused borrowing capacity
under short and long-term lines of credit, including $109 million from the
Credit Facility.
Cash provided by operating activities was $32.0 million in the current quarter
versus $6.4 million a year ago. The increase is due primarily to increased
earnings and collection of receivables on certain mature military programs with
progress payment terms in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
Working capital at March 31, 1999 was $209.7 million compared to $226.2 million
at September 26, 1998. Excluding the effects of the current quarter acquisitions
and the related Credit Facility, working capital decreased $30 million. The
majority of the decrease is due to lower receivables in the Aircraft Controls
and Satellite and Launch Vehicle Controls segments. Cash generated through
current year earnings and lower working capital levels was used in part to pay
down revolver debt classified as non-current indebtedness.
Net property, plant and equipment increased $47.3 million to $186.7 million at
March 31, 1999. The current year acquisitions added approximately $42 million to
net property, plant and equipment.
Capital expenditures for the first half of fiscal 1999 were $13.5 million
compared with depreciation and amortization of $14.7 million. Capital
expenditures in the first half of fiscal 1998 were $11.5 million compared to
depreciation and amortization of $10.8 million. Capital expenditures in 1999 are
expected to be approximately $24 million.
The Company believes its cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available
borrowings under short and long-term lines of credit, will continue to be
sufficient to meet its operating needs.
Other
Year 2000
As the end of the century nears, there is widespread concern around the world
that many existing computer programs that use only the last two digits to refer
to a year will not properly recognize a year that begins with digits 20
instead of 19. If not corrected, the concern is that many computer
applications might fail, creating erroneous results or cause unanticipated
system failures, among other problems.
The Company is continuing to upgrade and test those information technology (IT)
systems and non-IT systems that have been identified as not being Year 2000
compliant. The most significant of these systems is the Company's Human Resource
Information System for the U.S. operations. The Company has purchased a new
system which is scheduled to be in place by mid-1999 and costs approximately $1
million, the majority of which will be capitalized. The business systems for
Montek and the Acquired Industrial Businesses are being evaluated and tested and
are not expected to require material Year 2000 compliance expenses. Upgrades and
testing of other systems including business systems of certain international
subsidiaries, product systems (i.e., CAD/CAM systems), personal computing, data
entry, and communication hardware and software and systems associated with
facilities management continues to occur. The Year 2000 costs associated with
these activities is not expected to be material. Only a small portion of the
Company's products contain embedded processors or depend upon date logic. The
Company has identified these products, primarily in the Industrial Controls
segment and has begun to upgrade or replace the software. The cost is not
expected to be material. The Company also continues to evaluate responses from
critical vendors regarding their Year 2000 readiness.
The Company believes that it is taking the necessary steps to ensure the Year
2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for the Company.
However, if all Year 2000 issues are not properly identified, or assessment,
remediation and testing do not occur on a timely basis, there can be no
assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not materially impact the Company's
results of operations or adversely affect relationships with customers, vendors
and others. The Company believes the greatest potential risk from the Year 2000
Issue relates to suppliers or customers whose systems may not be Year 2000
compliant. The Company has identified certain critical areas of its business for
which contingency plans are currently being developed. The Company will continue
to evaluate internal and external factors and assess whether additional
contingency plans are necessary and have those plans in place by the end of
1999.
Market Risk Sensitive Instruments
In connection with the Montek acquisition and refinancing of the Company's U.S.
credit facilities, the Company's borrowings under variable interest rate
facilities has increased by $157 million to $231 million at March 31, 1999 from
September 26, 1998. The Credit Facility under which the borrowings are
outstanding has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points. In order to
provide for interest rate protection, the Company has entered into interest rate
swap agreements for $80 million, effectively converting this amount into fixed
rate debt at 7.05%. If LIBOR were to change by 10%, the impact on consolidated
interest expense would be approximately $1 million annually.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which must be
adopted by fiscal 2000. Under this standard, companies are required to carry all
derivatives in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in
the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on
whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship
and, if so, on the reason for holding it. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements.
Outlook
The acquisitions in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 are expected to provide
sales growth in each segment over the remainder of fiscal 1999 as compared to
the same period in the prior year.
The Company is expecting growth in operating profit in fiscal 1999 in each
segment due to improved product mix driven by higher aftermarket sales and the
acquisition of Montek. The Company continues to integrate the acquired
businesses in order to improve the Company's overall cost structures. Within the
Satellites and Launch Vehicle Controls segment, the Company is reviewing its
cost structure in response to continued delays in contract awards related to the
large satellite constellation programs.
