Earnings Per Share: Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents (stock options) outstanding during each period. In computing earnings per share, common stock equivalents were either anti-dilutive because of the market value of the stock or not material, and, therefore, have been excluded from the calculation. NOTE 2. Inventories: Inventories are summarized as follows: 12/25/94 3/31/94 -------- ------- Finished goods $ 7,222 $ 5,057 Work-in-process 4,227 7,589 Raw materials, purchased and manufactured parts 26,853 23,140 ------- ------- Total inventories $38,302 $35,786 ======= ======= NOTE 3. Long-term Debt Payable to Banks and Others In connection with the Industrial Retaining Ring Company acquisition, on September 9, 1994, the Company obtained a $15 million term loan with the same lender as the revolving credit line and secured by the same collateral. This term loan is due and payable in equal quarterly installments of $937,500 commencing on December 31, 1995. Interest accrues at the lending bank's prime rate and is payable monthly. NOTE 4. Discontinued Operations: In March 1994, the Company completed the sale of its Federal Laboratories division. Pursuant to such sale, the Company recorded an after-tax disposal gain of $0.1 million for the nine month period ended December 25, 1994. This gain was offset by $0.3 million of after-tax disposal costs, recorded for the nine months ended December 25, 1994, related to other previously discontinued businesses. For the three month period ended December 25, 1994, the Company recorded $0.2 million of after-tax disposal costs related 7 9 to other previously discontinued businesses. The gain and losses consisted primarily of disposal costs different from previous estimates associated primarily with legal and related matters. The three and nine month periods ended December 26, 1993 have been restated to reflect Federal Laboratories as a discontinued operation. In September 1994, the Company discontinued its chaff and related products division. At December 25, 1994, this division was classified for financial reporting purposes as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the results of consolidated operations at December 26, 1993, have been restated. The loss from disposal for the nine and three months ended December 25, 1994 includes an after-tax charge of $0.2 and $0.1 million, respectively, for estimated legal and selling costs related to disposal of the chaff product operation. Operating results of the discontinued business were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ---------------------- ------------------------ 12/25/94 12/26/93 12/25/94 12/26/93 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total Revenues $2,379 $4,362 $ 5,494 $11,365 Loss before income taxes $ (687) $ (284) $(2,062) $ (705) Income tax benefit (261) (103) (784) (271) ------ ------ ------- ------- Loss from operations $ (426) $ (181) $(1,278) $ (434) ====== ====== ======= ======= The loss from operations includes interest expense of $49 thousand and $69 thousand for the three months ended 12/25/94 and 12/26/93, respectively, and $138 thousand and $215 thousand for the nine months ended 12/25/94 and 12/26/93, respectively. 8 10 Net assets of the discontinued businesses at December 25, 1994 and March 31, 1994 were as follows: 12/25/94 3/31/94 -------- ------- Accounts Receivable $ 1,734 $ 25 Inventory 1,996 186 Property 9,653 3,203 Other Assets 2,162 1,198 Liabilities (1,296) (303) ------- ------ Net Assets of Discontinued Businesses $14,249 $4,309 ======= ====== NOTE 5. Acquisitions Effective August 31, 1994, the Company acquired Industrial Retaining Ring Company and its affiliated companies for a total purchase price of $15.3 million in cash and the assumption of $219 thousand of liabilities. Industrial Retaining Ring Company manufactures retaining rings used in heavy equipment and industrial machinery. The following summarizes TransTechnology Corporation's combined Proforma Revenue, Net Income and Earnings per Share information as if the acquisition of Industrial Retaining Ring Company and its affiliated companies had occurred at the beginning of the period presented.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS All references to three month and nine month periods in this Management's Discussion refer to the three and nine month periods ended December 25, 1994 for fiscal year 1995 and the three and nine month periods ended December 26, 1993 for fiscal year 1994. Also when referred to herein, operating profit means net sales less operating expenses, without deduction for general corporate expenses, interest and income taxes. The Consolidated Statement of Operations has been restated with respect to discontinued operations to provide a consistent basis for comparing the performance of the Company's continuing operations for the periods presented. Revenue from continuing operations for the nine month period in 1995 was $89.6 million, an increase of $9.9 million or 12% from the comparable period in 1994. For the three month period in 1995 total revenue was $33.7 million, an increase of $2.6 million or 8% from the comparable period of 1994. The increases occurred primarily in the Industrial Products segment for both periods. Gross profit for the nine month period in 1995 increased $1.5 million or 6% from the comparable period in 1994. For the three month period in 1995, gross profit increased $0.6 million or 7% from the comparable period of 1994. Operating profit from continuing operations for the nine month period in 1995 was $10.6 million, a decrease of $1.2 million or 10% from the comparable period in 1994. For the three month period in 1995 operating profit from continuing operations was $4.9 million, an increase of $0.3 million or 7% from the comparable period in 1994. Changes in sales, operating profit and new orders from continuing operations are discussed below by segment. Net income, including discontinued operations, for the nine month period in 1995 was $2.6 million or $.51 per share, compared to $4.4 million or $.85 per share, for the comparable period in 1994. The three month period in 1995 experienced net income of $1.4 million or $.27 per share compared to $1.6 million or $.31 per share for the year earlier period. Discontinued operations, which are discussed in more detail below, accounted for losses of $1.7 million and $0.7 million in the 1995 nine month and three month periods, respectively, and $0.4 million and 0.2 million for the comparable nine month and three month periods in 1994. Interest expense increased $1.2 million for the nine month period in 1995, and $0.5 million for the three month period, primarily as a result of increased bank borrowings used for the acquisition of the Palnut fastener business and the Electrical Specialties wiring harness business in the second quarter of the 1994 fiscal year, and the Industrial Retaining Ring business in the second quarter of the 1995 fiscal year. New orders received during the nine month period in 1995 totaled $91.5 million, an increase of $6.1 million or 7% from 1994's comparable period. For the three month period, new orders 10 12 totaled $36 million, an increase of $4.1 million or 13% from last year's comparable period. At December 25, 1994, total backlog of unfilled orders was $46.7 million, compared to $45 million at December 26, 1993. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In March 1994, the Company completed the sale of its Federal Laboratories division. Pursuant to such sale, the Company recorded an after-tax disposal gain of $0.1 million for the nine month period ended December 25, 1994. This gain was offset by $0.3 million of after-tax disposal costs, recorded for the nine months ended December 25, 1994, related to other previously discontinued businesses. For the three month period ended December 25, 1994, the Company recorded $0.2 million of after-tax disposal costs related to other previously discontinued businesses. The gain and losses consisted primarily of disposal costs different from previous estimates associated primarily with legal and related matters. The three and nine month periods ended December 26, 1993 have been restated to reflect Federal Laboratories as a discontinued operation. In September 1994, the Company discontinued its chaff and related products division. At December 25, 1994, this division was classified for financial reporting purposes as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the results of consolidated operations at December 26, 1993, have been restated. The loss from disposal for the nine and three months ended December 25, 1994 include an after-tax charge of $0.2 and $0.1 million, respectively, for estimated legal and selling costs related to disposal of the chaff product operation. 11 13 FINANCIAL SUMMARY BY PRODUCT SEGMENT (In Thousands of Dollars) NINE MONTHS ENDED NET CHANGE --------------------------- --------------------- 12/25/94 12/26/93 $ % -------- -------- ------- ------ Operating Revenue: Industrial Products $60,248 $45,175 $15,073 33.4 Aerospace Products 27,956 33,831 (5,875) (17.4) ------- ------- ------- Total $88,204 $79,006 $ 9,198 11.6 ======= ======= ======= Operating Profit: Industrial Products $ 8,882 $ 7,141 $ 1,741 24.4 Aerospace Products 1,759 4,666 (2,907) (62.3) ------- ------- ------- Total $10,641 $11,807 $(1,166) (9.9) Corporate Expense (2,007)(a)(b) (3,121)(b) 1,114 35.7 Interest Expense (2,155)(c) (922)(c) (1,233) (133.7) ------- ------- ------- Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes $ 6,479 $ 7,764 $(1,285) (16.6) ======= ======= ======= a) The corporate expense for the nine months ended December 25, 1994 has been reduced by $740 thousand from a favorable insurance settlement. b) The corporate expense for the nine months ended December 25, 1994 and the nine months ended December 26, 1993 has been reduced by $464 thousand and $656 thousand, respectively, to reflect an allocation made to discontinued operations. c) Interest expense for the nine months ended December 25, 1994 and the nine months ended December 26, 1993 has been reduced by $138 thousand and $215 thousand, respectively, to reflect an allocation made to discontinued operations. 12 14 FINANCIAL SUMMARY BY PRODUCT SEGMENT (In Thousands of Dollars) THREE MONTHS ENDED NET CHANGE --------------------------- --------------------- 12/25/94 12/26/93 $ % -------- -------- -------- ------ Operating Revenue: Industrial Products $23,187 $19,581 $ 3,606 18.4 Aerospace Products 10,278 11,293 (1,015) (9.0) ------- ------- ------- Total $33,465 $30,874 $ 2,591 8.4 ======= ======= ======= Operating Profit: Industrial Products $ 3,886 $ 2,950 $ 936 31.7 Aerospace Products 1,011 1,611 (600) (37.2) ------- ------- ------- Total $ 4,897 $ 4,561 $ 336 7.4 Corporate Expense (885)(a) (1,232)(a) 347 28.2 Interest Expense (959)(b) (457)(b) (502) (109.8) ------- ------- ------- Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes $ 3,053 $ 2,872 $ 181 6.3 ======= ======= ======= a) The corporate expense for the three months ended December 25, 1994 and the three months ended December 26, 1993 has been reduced by $155 thousand and $219 thousand, respectively, to reflect an allocation made to discontinued operations. b) The interest expense for the three months ended December 25, 1994 and the three months ended December 26, 1993 has been reduced by $49 thousand and $69 thousand, respectively, to reflect an allocation made to discontinued operations. 13 15 INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS SEGMENT Sales for the industrial products segment were $60.2 million for the nine month period in 1995, an increase of $15.1 million or 33% from the comparable period in 1994. Sales for the three month period in 1995 were $23.2 million, up $3.6 million or 18% from the comparable period in 1994. The increase for the nine month period was primarily due to the inclusion of nine months of operations of the Palnut fastener business and Electrical Specialties Company industrial wiring harness business in the 1995 period compared to only five months of operations in the comparable 1994 period. Additionally, the nine month period in 1995 included four months of Industrial Retaining Ring Company fastener operations. In the nine and three month periods in 1995, specialty fastener sales other than Palnut and Industrial Retaining Ring were up slightly over the comparable nine month and three month periods in 1994. Offsetting these increases, TransTechnology Systems & Services maintenance contract sales decreased 22% and 12% in the nine and three month periods in 1995 over the comparable periods in 1994. These decreases were largely due to reduced domestic and foreign third party maintenance contract demand. Operating profit for the segment was $8.9 million for the nine month period in 1995, an increase of $1.7 million or 24% from the comparable period in 1994. The three month period showed an operating profit of $3.9 million, an increase of $0.9 million or 32% from the comparable period in 1994. Primary factors contributing to the segment's increased operating profit for the nine and three month periods was the inclusion of nine months of Palnut fastener operations in the 1995 nine month period versus five months of operations in the 1994 nine month period, the inclusion of four months of operations of the Industrial Retaining Ring Company and increased shipment volume and higher margin product mix of other specialty fasteners. These increases were offset in the nine and three month periods by losses incurred due to the start-up of the Electrical Connector and Assemblies Company, low margin sales of electrical wiring harness product and reduced third party maintenance contract sales. New orders increased by 15% for the nine month period in 1995 over the prior year period, primarily due to the acquisitions mentioned. New orders for the three month period in 1995 were up 16% over the prior year period, primarily due to the Industrial Retaining Ring Company acquisition mentioned above and customer timing and placement of orders for other specialty fasteners. Backlog of unfilled orders at December 25, 1994 was $18.4 million, while at December 26, 1993 backlog was $14.8 million. AEROSPACE PRODUCTS SEGMENT Sales for the Aerospace Products segment were $28 million for the nine month period in 1995, a decrease of $5.9 million or 17% from the comparable period in 1994. Sales for the three month period in 1995 were $10.3 million, down $1.0 million or 9% from the comparable period in 1994. All aerospace product line sales were down in the nine month period in 1995 as compared to the 1994 period, with the exception of electrical connectors which were up slightly. All aerospace product line sales were down in the three month period in 1995 with the exception of rescue hoist and winch products which were up slightly. The primary reasons for the decreases, in both the 14 16 nine and three month periods, were delays in the timing of customers placing new orders in the current year periods and reduced demand for aerospace and related products. Operating profit for the segment was $1.8 million for the nine month period in 1995, a decrease of $2.9 million or 62% from the comparable period in 1994. The three month period had an operating profit of $1.0 million, a decrease of $0.6 million or 37% over the comparable period in 1994. The primary factors contributing to the segment's decrease in operating profit in the current year periods were the lower overall aerospace sales as mentioned above and reduced margins in the rescue hoist and winch products and cargo hook lines. The reduced margins were due mainly to shipments of low margin contracts during the current nine and three month periods. New orders decreased 5% for the nine month period in 1995 over the prior year period, and increased 7% for the three month period over the prior year period. New orders in the nine month period for hoist and winch products decreased 7%, new orders for cargo hooks decreased 6% and new orders for electrical cables decreased 37%, primarily due to customer timing, reduction in new orders and the general slowdown in the military and aerospace industries. New orders for all other aerospace products lines increased in the nine month period. In the three month period in 1995 new orders for hoist and winch products increased 71%, new orders for tie-downs increased 258% and new orders for electrical connectors increased 34%, primarily due to customer timing and placement of new orders. The remaining aerospace product lines experienced reduced new orders in the 1995 three month period. Backlog of unfilled orders at December 25, 1994 was $28.3 million, while at December 26, 1993 backlog was $30.3 million. Sales related to United States Government contracts, which consist primarily of defense contracts and represented approximately 20% of the Company's total sales in fiscal year 1994, have been declining in recent years. Management remains concerned with the continued trend toward reductions in defense spending by the United States government. However, many of the Company's programs, as well as spare parts requirements for these programs, are expected to continue for several years, and the Company continues to pursue and is currently implementing its strategy of developing its non-defense businesses through acquisitions and refocused foreign and commercial market attention. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 43% as of December 25, 1994, compared to 34% as of March 31, 1994. The current ratio at December 25, 1994, stood at 4.68 compared to 3.49 at March 31, 1994. Working Capital was $65.4 million at December 25, 1994, up $11.6 million from March 31, 1994. At December 25, 1994, the Company's debt consisted of $25 million of borrowings under a revolving bank credit line, an $8.4 million bank term loan, a new $15 million bank term loan, as discussed below, and $1.0 million of other borrowings. In connection with the Industrial Retaining Ring Company acquisition, in September 1994, the Company obtained a $15 million term loan with the same lender as the revolving credit line and secured by the same collateral. 15 17 This term loan is due and payable in equal quarterly installments of $938 thousand commencing on December 31, 1995. Interest accrues at the lending bank's prime rate and is payable monthly. The revolving bank credit line commitment is $35 million. This commitment will be available to the Company through September 30, 1995 and is subject to a borrowing base formula. The agreement provides for borrowings and letters of credit based on collateralized accounts receivable and inventory. All fixed assets other than real property with the exception of certain real property located in Mountainside, New Jersey, are also included as collateral. Letters of credit, which are included in the borrowing base formula, are limited to $5 million. Letters of credit under the line at December 25, 1994 were $2.1 million. Interest is accrued at the lending bank's prime rate or, at the Company's option, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus two percentage points, which the Company utilized for $25 million of its outstanding debt at December 25, 1994. The agreement contains customary operating and financial covenants typical to this form of financing and further provides that quarterly dividend payments cannot exceed 25% of the Company's cumulative net income in each year. The $8.4 million term loan is with the same lenders as the revolving credit line and is secured by the same collateral. Principal payments of $360 thousand are due and payable on the last day of each quarter through June 30, 1998, with a final balloon payment of $3 million due and payable on August 31, 1998. Interest accrues at the lending bank's prime rate and is payable monthly. Capital expenditures in the nine month period in 1995 were $3.0 million as compared with $2.9 million in the comparable period in 1994. Management believes that the Company's anticipated cash flow from operations, combined with the bank credit described above, will be sufficient to support current and forecasted working capital requirements and dividend payments. 16 18 PART II.
