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
September 30, 1999 the rate of interest for the Loans is 8.38%. All amounts
outstanding under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially
all of the Company's assets.
As of September 30, 1999 the total amount outstanding under the Credit
Agreement was $57,800,000.
As part of the acquisition of Ranor in June 1999 the seller's 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:
o 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.
o 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.
o 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:
o 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 Six Months Ended September 30, 1999 to September 30, 1998
The following discussion provides information regarding the Company's results of
operations for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998.
Net Revenues for the six months ended September 30, 1999 were $79,864,000,
an increase of 218% from net revenues of $25,125,000 for the comparable period
in 1998. The increase in revenues reflect 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 22%, 15% and 8%,
respectively, of net revenues, while the Mexican facility contributed 21%.
Cost of Revenues increased to $65,223,000 or 81.7% of net revenues for the
six months ended September 30, 1999 from $20,156,000 or 80.2% 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 six months ended September 30, 1999 compared
to a mixture of new and remanufactured chassis for the six months ended
September 30, 1998. Ajax experienced production start up delays at its Mexico
plant, which also contributed to a higher cost of revenue.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses were $6,789,000 for the six
months ended September 30, 1999 an increase of $4,866,000 from $1,923,000
incurred for the comparable period in 1998. SG&A expenses, as a percentage of
net revenue, increased to 8.5%, up from 7.6% during the six months ended
September 30, 1998. The increase in the dollar amount of SG&A for the six months
ended September 30, 1999 principally reflects $3,765,000 arising from the
acquisitions of R/S, CPS, Ranor and the start up of the Mexico plant. 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 $2,082,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1999 from $449,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1998,
reflecting debt incurred to complete the acquisitions of R/S, CPS and Ranor and
the start up of the plant in Mexico.
11
Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 to September 30, 1998
The following discussion provides information regarding the Company's results of
operations for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998.
Net Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were
$44,820,000, an increase of 160% from net revenues of $17,245,000 for the three
months ended September 30,1998. The increase in revenues reflects sales from the
Company's recently established chassis manufacturing plant in Sonora, Mexico, a
general improvement in the trailer industry, along with the acquisitions of R/S,
CPS and Ranor. These acquisitions contributed revenue representing 17%, 13% and
12%, respectively, of net revenues, while the facility in Mexico contributed
30%.
Cost of Revenues increased to $36,947,000 or 82.4% of net revenues during
the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $14,003,000 or 81.2% of net
revenues for the comparable period in 1998. The increase was due to the
acquisitions of R/S, CPS and Ranor, and the start up of the plant in Mexico. The
Company also experienced initial production start up delays at its plant in
Mexico that contributed to a higher cost of revenue.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses were $3,716,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 1999 an increase of $2,521,000 from $1,195,000
incurred for the comparable period in 1998. SG&A expenses, as a percentage of
net revenue, increased to 8.3%, up from 6.9% during the three months ended
September 30, 1998. The increase in the dollar amount of SG&A during the three
months ended September 30, 1999 principally reflects $1,856,000 arising from the
acquisition of the R/S, CPS, Ranor and the start up of the plant 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 $1,399,000 during the three months ended
September 30, 1999 from $363,000 for the comparable period in 1998, reflecting
debt incurred to complete the acquisitions of R/S, CPS and Ranor and the start
up of the plant in Mexico.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generated $6,011,000 of cash in operating activities during
the six months ended September 1999 which was a 41% increase as compared to
$4,260,000 generated for the comparable period in 1998. The net cash generated
in operating activities during the six months ended September 1999 is primarily
due to the increase in net income for the period. The net cash used in investing
activities was $27,831,000 during the six months ended September 1999 as
compared to $32,974,000 for the comparable period in 1998. The cash used in
investing activities during the six months ended September 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 September 30, 1999 the
rate of interest for the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement is
8.38%. The Company made scheduled quarterly principal payments of $1,000,000 in
September 1999 and $625,000 in June of 1999.
Capital expenditures were $2,301,000 for the six months ended September
1999 compared to $2,657,000 for the same period in 1998. Capital expenditures
incurred during the six months ended September 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 plant 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 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 September 30, 1999, the Company had $63,218,000 in total
debt outstanding, primarily consisting of $57,800,000 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.
12
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 September 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of $11,769,000,
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 continues to address the impact of the Year 2000 issue on its
business. The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer hardware and software
programs designed to use two digits rather than four digits to define the
applicable year. If not corrected, certain computer applications may fail or
create erroneous results at the year 2000.
The Company reviewed its computer systems which could be adversely
affected by the Year 2000 issue, and believes its existing hardware and software
is Year 2000 compliant.
