3. Long Term Debt and Credit Agreements
In July 1998, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (acting as
Guarantors) entered into with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC"), both
individually and as agent for other financial institutions a $40,000,000 Term
Loan and Revolving Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement
provided for a Term Loan in the amount of $25,000,000 and a Revolving Loan in
the principal amount of $15,000,000. In June 1999, the Company obtained an
increase in its existing credit facility arrangement from $40,000,000 to
$68,125,000 through PNC and PNC Capital Markets to consummate the acquisition of
Ranor. The Company's Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for Term Loans in
the principal amount of $48,125,000 and a Revolving Loan in the principal amount
of $20,000,000 (the "Loans"). The principal of the Term Loans is payable in two
tranches of $23,125,000 and $25,000,000 in June 2004 and June 2005,
respectively. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan are payable in full
in July 2002, subject to the Company's request, with the approval of the
lenders, to extend the due date for one year, with a maximum extension of two
one year periods.
Interest on the amounts outstanding under the Loans is payable monthly and
accrues at a variable rate based upon LIBOR or the Base Rate of PNC, plus a
percentage which adjusts from time to time based upon the ratio of the Company's
indebtedness to EBITDA, as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement. As of
December 31, 1999 the rate of interest for the Loans is 9.49%. All amounts
outstanding under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially
all of the Company's assets.
As of December 31, 1999 the total amount outstanding under the Credit
Agreement was $59,300,000.
As part of the acquisition of Ranor in June 1999 the sellers of Ranor were
issued $5,300,000 of three year, 6% interest only, convertible subordinated
notes.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
Since the acquisition of Ranor in June 1999, the Company is organized into
two separate operating divisions, the Trailer/Truck Division and the Critical
Components Division. These two divisions operate separately and have distinct
management and reporting requirements.
The Trailer/Truck Division manufactures trailer chassis, dump truck bodies
and specialty trailers through its wholly-owned subsidiaries:
>> Ajax is engaged in the manufacture of trailer chassis and the
re-manufacture of existing chassis. Ajax was acquired in January 1998.
Ajax operates in New Jersey and Sonora Mexico. The Mexican facility
commenced production in April 1999.
>> R/S is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of customized dump
trucks and trailers, specialized truck suspension systems and related
products and parts. R/S also acts as a distributor for truck equipment
manufactured by other companies, including cranes, tarpaulins, spreaders,
plows and specialized service bodies. R/S was acquired in July 1998.
>> CPS is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of dump
trailers, specializing in trailers for hauling bulk commodities such as
gravel, grain and corn, and for the construction and waste hauling
industries. CPS was acquired in September 1998. CPS continues to expand
its product line.
The Critical Components Division operates through its wholly-owned
subsidiary:
>> Ranor is primarily engaged in the metal fabrication and machining of
large precision components and assemblies for the aerospace, nuclear,
industrial and military industries. Ranor was acquired in June 1999.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999 to December 31, 1998
The following discussion provides information regarding the Company's results of
operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998.
Net Revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 were
$121,103,000, an increase of 147% from net revenues of $48,857,000 for the
comparable period in 1998. The increase in revenues reflects sales from the
Company's recently established 64,000 sq. foot chassis manufacturing facility
located in Sonora, Mexico, which commenced production in April 1999, a general
improvement in the trailer industry, and the acquisitions of R/S, CPS and Ranor
also contributed to the increase. The acquisitions contributed revenue
representing 19%, 14% and 11%, respectively, of net revenues, while the Mexican
facility contributed 26%.
Cost of Revenues increased to $98,816,000 or 81.6% of net revenues for the
nine months ended December 31, 1999 from $38,733,000 or 79.3% of net revenues
for the comparable period in 1998. The increase was principally due to the
acquisitions of R/S, CPS, Ranor and the start up of the chassis manufacturing
facility in Mexico. In addition, Ajax experienced a shift in its product mix to
predominately new chassis for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 compared
to a mixture of new and remanufactured chassis for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998. Ajax experienced production start up delays at its facility
in Mexico, which also contributed to a higher cost of revenue.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses were $10,246,000 for the nine
months ended December 31, 1999 an increase of $6,289,000 from $3,957,000
incurred for the comparable period in 1998. SG&A expenses, as a percentage of
net revenue, increased to 8.5%, up from 8.1% during the nine months ended
December 31, 1998. The increase in the dollar amount of SG&A for the nine months
ended December 31, 1999 principally reflects $4,910,000 arising from the
acquisitions of R/S, CPS, Ranor and the start up of the Ajax facility in Mexico.
Additional expenses related to an increase in selling efforts, upgrading
information technology systems and general corporate overhead contributed to the
percentage increase.
Interest Expense increased to $3,490,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1999 from $1,146000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1998,
reflecting debt incurred to complete the acquisitions of R/S, CPS and Ranor and
the start up of the facility in Mexico.
Comparison of Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 to December 31, 1998
The following discussion provides information regarding the Company's results of
operations for the three months ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998.
Net Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1999 were
$41,238,000, an increase of 74% from net revenues of $23,732,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in revenues reflects sales from the
Company's recently established chassis manufacturing facility in Sonora, Mexico,
a general improvement in the trailer industry, along with the acquisition of
Ranor. Ranor contributed revenue representing 17%, of net revenues, while the
facility in Mexico contributed 35%.
Cost of Revenues increased to $33,596,000 or 81.5% of net revenues during
the three months ended December 31, 1999 from $18,577,000 or 78.3% of net
revenues for the comparable period in 1998. The increase was due to the
acquisition of Ranor, and the start up of the facility in Mexico.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses were $3,454,000 during the
three months ended December 31, 1999 an increase of $1,420,000 from $2,034,000
incurred for the comparable period in 1998. SG&A expenses, as a percentage of
net revenue is 8.4%, which remained consistent with the three months ended
December 31, 1998. The increase in the dollar amount of SG&A during the three
months ended December 31, 1999 principally reflects $1,005,000 arising from the
acquisition of Ranor, and the start up of the facility in Mexico. Additional
expenses related to an increase in selling efforts, upgrading information
technology systems and general corporate overhead also contributed to the
increase.
Interest Expense increased to $1,408,000 during the three months ended
December 31, 1999 from $697,000 for the comparable period in 1998, reflecting
debt incurred to complete the acquisition of Ranor, and the start up of the
facility in Mexico.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generated $5,668,000 of cash in operating activities during
the nine months ended December 31, 1999 which was a 7% increase as compared to
$5,285,000 generated for the comparable period in 1998. The net cash generated
in operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 1999 is
primarily due to the increase in net income for the period, which was offset by
the change in accounts receivable and accounts payable. The net cash used in
investing activities was $31,183,000 during the nine months ended December 31,
1999 as compared to $34,249,000 for the comparable period in 1998. The cash used
in investing activities during the nine months ended December 1999 was primarily
for the acquisition of Ranor. Additional cash was used for the acquisition of
other property, plant and equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities was predominately from the increase
in the Company's credit facility, which was used for the acquisition of Ranor.
The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for a Term Loan in the amount
of $48,125,000 and a Revolving Loan in the principal amount of $20,000,000
(collectively, the "Loans"). The principal of the Term Loans is payable in two
tranches of $23,125,000 and $25,000,000 in June 2004 and June 2005,
respectively. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan are payable in full
in June 2002, subject to the Company's request, with the approval of the
lenders, to extend the due date for one year, with a maximum extension of two
one year periods. All amounts due under the Credit Agreement are secured by a
lien on substantially all the Company's assets. As of December 31, 1999 the rate
of interest for the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement was 9.49%.
The Company made scheduled quarterly principal payments of $1,000,000 in
December 1999, $1,000,000 in September 1999 and $625,000 in June of 1999.
Capital expenditures were $3,461,000 for the nine months ended December
1999 compared to $3,858,000 for the same period in 1998. Capital expenditures
incurred during the nine months ended December 1999 were primarily for the
purchase of new machinery for expanding the production capacity at Ranor and for
equipment purchased for the recently established chassis manufacturing facility
in Mexico. The Company also expanded its new computer network systems and
refurbished the corporate administration facility in Hillsborough, New Jersey.
The Company anticipates that capital expenditures during the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2000 will not substantially exceed those of the preceding years.
The annual dividend requirement on the Company's Preferred Stock is
$1,155,252. The future earnings of the Company, if any, may not be adequate to
pay the dividends on the Preferred Stock, and, although the Company intends to
pay quarterly
8
dividends out of available capital surplus, there can be no assurance that the
Company will maintain sufficient capital surplus or that future earnings, if
any, will be adequate to pay the dividends on the Preferred Stock. In addition,
at December 31, 1999, the Company had $64,715,000 in total debt outstanding,
primarily consisting of $59,300,000 in loans payable to PNC, $5,300,000 of three
year, 6%, convertible subordinated notes to the sellers of Ranor and the balance
to various other small creditors.
The Company continues to seek opportunities for growth through
acquisitions, and, in connection therewith, may seek to raise additional cash in
the form of equity, bank debt or other debt financing, or may seek to issue
stock or other financial instruments as consideration to acquisition targets.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had working capital of $11,268,000,
which is sufficient to meet its current operating requirements, and, if
necessary, such needs could be met out of the remaining cash available from the
Revolving Loan facility.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Company was not adversely affected by the Year 2000 issues.
