1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The principal operations of Argo-Tech Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT Holdings Corporation) and its subsidiaries include the design, manufacture and distribution of aviation products, primarily aircraft fuel pumps. In addition, Argo-Tech leases a portion of its Cleveland, Ohio manufacturing facility to other parties. Argo-Tech’s fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in October. Argo-Tech is required to fulfill the obligation of AT Holdings Corporation to purchase AT Holdings’ common stock in accordance with the provisions of the Argo-Tech Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan. As a result, that obligation has been reflected in its financial statements.

Argo-Tech Corporation is a parent holding company and all of its domestic subsidiaries guarantee Argo-Tech’s senior notes issued in June 2004. Argo-Tech also has two wholly-owned, non-guarantor foreign subsidiaries which have inconsequential assets, liabilities and equity. Argo-Tech has no outside assets, liabilities or operations apart from its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The senior notes are fully, unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed by the guarantor subsidiaries, and therefore, separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries will not be presented. Management has determined that the information presented by such separate financial statements is not material to investors.

2. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of Argo-Tech’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in Argo-Tech’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 30, 2004. The results of operations for the 13 and 26 week periods ended April 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at standard cost which approximates the costs which would be determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The recorded value of inventories is not in excess of market value. Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following is a summary of intangible assets, other than goodwill (in thousands):

Amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets for the 13 week periods ended April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004 was $0.9 million and for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 and the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004 was $1.7 million. The estimated amortization expense for each of fiscal years 2005 and 2006 is $3.4 million, for fiscal year 2007 is $3.3 million and for each of fiscal years 2008 and 2009 is $1.7 million. The intangible asset “Spare parts annuity” is the result of customer relationships that have been developed by supplying spare parts to our aftermarket customers. The weighted-average amortization period for contracts is 10 years, 26 years for spare parts annuity and 15 years for patents.

5. PRODUCT WARRANTY

Argo-Tech accrues for warranty obligations for products sold based on management estimates of the amount that may be required to settle such potential obligations. These estimates are prepared with support from our sales, engineering, quality and legal functions. This accrual, which is reviewed in detail on a regular basis, is based on several factors: past experience, current claims, production changes and various other considerations. The following table presents a reconciliation of changes in the product warranty liability for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 and the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004 (in thousands):

6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has two noncontributory defined benefit pension plans, one for qualifying hourly employees and a second for salaried employees. The salaried employee plan provides pension benefits that are based on the employees’ compensation and years of service. The future accrual of benefits under this plan was terminated in connection with the formation of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The hourly employee plan provides benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute actuarially determined amounts allowable under Internal Revenue Service regulations.

7

A summary of the components of net periodic benefit cost for the two pension plans is as follows (in thousands):

Argo-Tech expects to contribute $132,000 to the hourly employee pension plan in 2005. As of April 30, 2005, no contributions have been made.

In addition, the Company provides certain postretirement health care benefits to qualifying hourly retirees and their dependents. This benefit is not funded. A summary of the components of net periodic benefit cost for the postretirement benefit is as follows (in thousands):

7.	CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters — The soil and groundwater at Argo-Tech’s Euclid, Ohio facility and Costa Mesa, California facility contain elevated levels of certain contaminants which are currently in the process of being removed and/or remediated. Because Argo-Tech has certain indemnification rights from former owners of the facilities for liabilities arising from these or other environmental matters, in the opinion of Argo-Tech’s management, the ultimate outcome is not expected to materially affect its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Other Matters — Argo-Tech is subject to various legal actions and other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of Argo-Tech’s management, after reviewing the information which is currently available with respect to such matters and consulting with Argo-Tech’s legal counsel, any liability which may ultimately be incurred with respect to these matters is not expected to materially affect Argo-Tech’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

8.	SEGMENT INFORMATION

Argo-Tech operates in two business segments: Aerospace and Industrial. The Aerospace segment includes the design, manufacture, distribution, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of aviation products, consisting of aircraft fuel pumps, fuel flow related products found on a plane’s airframe, and

8

aerial refueling pumps and related equipment. The Industrial segment includes the design, manufacture and distribution of ground fueling valves and related components, specialty industrial hose, cryogenic pumps and nozzles for transferring liquefied natural gas and operation of a business park in Cleveland, Ohio where we maintain our headquarters and one of our production facilities.

Argo-Tech evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on operating profit before amortization of deferred financing fees and other identified intangibles, interest expense, interest income, other miscellaneous fees and income taxes.

10.	NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs,” which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing.” This statement clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. The provisions of this statement become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 30, 2005. Management has not determined the impact, if any, that this statement will have on Argo-Tech’s consolidated financial statements.
	In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment,” which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The Company will adopt the provisions of this statement for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 30, 2005 using the modified prospective method. Management believes the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on Argo-Tech’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
11.	RECENT EVENTS
	On March 1, 2005, the Company granted 45,200 Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) to certain full-time employees of Argo-Tech and its subsidiaries. Our directors and executive officers do not participate in the plan. The total number of SARs which may be granted pursuant to the amended 2004 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, which was approved by the Board of Directors on December 7, 2004, cannot exceed 50,000, except to the extent of certain authorized adjustments. The SARs vest 33-1/3% on the grant date and on each of the next two anniversary dates of the initial date (the date the value of the SAR is determined by the Board). Once vested and upon the earliest of: termination of employment for reasons other than cause, a change of control or ten years from the initial date, each SAR entitles the holder to a cash payment equal to the increase, if any, in the value of one share of AT Holdings Corporation common stock from the initial date to the date of payment. The granting of these SARs resulted in a non-cash compensation expense of $1.5 million in the 13 week and 26 week periods ended April 30, 2005.
	The Company made available to certain qualifying hourly employees a special early retirement window that ended on April 1, 2005, under which 7 employees elected to retire early and receive an additional benefit under the hourly employee pension plan. The additional benefit resulted in a non-cash compensation expense of $0.4 million in the 13 week and 26 week periods ended April 30, 2005.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

Argo-Tech is a global designer, manufacturer and servicer of high performance fuel flow devices and systems. We operate in two business segments, Aerospace and Industrial. The Aerospace segment consists of aircraft engine fuel pumps and other engine products, commercial and military products and systems found on a plane’s airframe, and aerial refueling pumps and related equipment. The Industrial segment includes ground fueling nozzles, hoses and other ground fueling components, an automated fuel management system, cryogenic pumps and nozzles and the operation of a business park in Cleveland, Ohio.

11

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected Argo-Tech’s financial position and operating results during the periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Argo-Tech’s fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of October and is identified according to the calendar year in which it ends.

Export Sales

Substantially all of our export sales are denominated in U. S. dollars. Export sales for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 were $43.6 million. Sales to Europe were $24.3 million, sales to Pacific Rim countries were $14.5 million and sales to all other regions, individually less than 10%, were $4.8 million for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which enable the fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition. Revenues are generally recognized when goods are shipped or services provided, at which time title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Substantially all sales are made pursuant to firm, fixed-price purchase orders received from customers. We have executed long-term supply agreements with certain of our original equipment manufacture, or OEM, customers. These agreements require Argo-Tech to supply all the amounts ordered by the customers during the term of the agreements (generally three to five years) at specified prices. Under certain of these agreements, we expect to incur losses. Provisions for estimating losses on these contracts are made in the period in which such losses are identified based on cost and pricing information and estimated future shipment quantities provided by the customer. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimated losses on contracts is recorded in the accounting period in which the amounts become known and can be reasonably estimated. Such revisions could occur at any time there are changes to estimated future revenues or costs. Revenue from certain fixed price engineering contracts for which costs can be reliably estimated are recognized based on milestone billings. Variations in actual labor performance, changes to estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to the cost estimates. Revisions in cost estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits in the period of revision. We record estimated reductions to revenue for volume-based incentives based on expected customer activity for the applicable period. Revisions for volume-based incentives are recorded in the accounting period in which such estimates can be reasonably determined.

Valuation of Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We evaluate the collectibility of our trade receivables based on a combination of factors. We regularly analyze our customer accounts, and when we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation to us, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings, we immediately record a bad debt expense and reduce the related receivable to the amount we reasonably believe is collectible. We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of the accounts receivable, customer creditworthiness and historical experience. Our estimate of the allowance amounts includes amounts for specifically identified losses and a general amount for estimated losses. If circumstances change or economic conditions deteriorate, our estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted.

12

Valuation of Inventories. Our inventory purchases and commitments are made in order to build inventory to meet future shipment schedules based on forecasted demand for our products. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method. Periodically, we perform a detailed assessment of inventory, which includes a review of, among other factors, historical sales activity, future demand requirements, product life cycle and development plans and quality issues. Based on this analysis, we record provisions for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory to reflect inventory at net realizable value. These provisions could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual requirements based upon future economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive factors that were not foreseen, or did not exist, when the valuation allowances were established.

Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill and identified intangible assets are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. Intangible assets other than goodwill are recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed or exchanged, regardless of our intent to do so. Intangible assets, such as goodwill, that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized. All other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We review goodwill and purchased intangible assets for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Our asset impairment review assesses the fair value of the assets based on the future cash flows the assets are expected to generate. This approach uses our estimates of future market growth, forecasted revenue and costs and appropriate discount rates. When impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value.

Pensions and post-retirement plan assumptions. We have two noncontributory defined benefit pension plans for qualifying hourly and salary employees and a postretirement health care benefit plan for qualifying hourly retirees and their dependents. We account for our defined benefit plans in accordance with SFAS No. 87, No. 106 and No. 132(R), which requires amounts recognized in the financial statements to be determined on an actuarial basis. We are required to make assumptions regarding such variables as the expected long-term rate of return on assets and the discount rate, which are used to determine service cost and interest cost to arrive at pension income or expense for the year. We are also required to make assumptions for the long-term health care cost trend rates for our post-retirement benefit plan. The estimated cost and benefits of the noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and the postretirement health care plan are determined by an independent actuary using various actuarial assumptions, including, but not limited to, assumptions on demographic factors such as retirement, mortality and turnover. We have analyzed the rate of return on assets used and determined that this rate is reasonable based on the plans’ historical performance relative to the overall markets. The discount rate assumption is consistent with prior years and is based on changes in the prevailing market long-term interest rates at the measurement date. If any of our assumptions were to change, our benefit plan expenses would also change. An increase/decrease in the discount rate, assuming no other changes in the estimates, reduces/increases the amount of the accumulated benefit obligation and the related required expense.

Fluctuations of Operating Results; Limitation of Quarterly Comparisons

Argo-Tech’s results of operations are subject to fluctuations from quarter to quarter due to changes in demand for its products, changes in product mix and other factors. Demand for its products can vary from quarter to quarter due to changes in demand for, and timing of deliveries of, OEM, aftermarket and military products and services. In particular, the timing of Argo-Tech’s aftermarket sales tends not to occur on a predictable schedule and, furthermore, the sales tend to occur in large quantities that can significantly impact quarterly comparisons. Accordingly, year-to-year and quarter-to-quarter comparisons of quarterly results may not be meaningful, and quarterly results during the year are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period or for the entire year.

13

Results of Operations for the 13 Week Period Ended April 30, 2005 Compared With the 13 Week Period Ended May 1, 2004

Net revenues for the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005 increased $4.8 million, or 10.1%, to $52.2 million from $47.4 million for the 13 week period ended May 1, 2004. This increase was primarily due to an increase in aerospace revenues of $3.1 million and an increase of $1.7 million in industrial revenues. The increase in aerospace revenues was attributable to an increase of $2.7 million of commercial aerospace revenues and $0.4 million of military revenues. Commercial OEM revenues increased $0.6 million, or 9.5%, to $6.9 million and commercial aftermarket revenues increased $2.1 million, or 13.1%, to $18.1 million in the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005. Commercial OEM revenues increased primarily as a result of an increase in pump requirements from our customers. Commercial aftermarket revenues were higher primarily due to an increase in maintenance, repair and overhaul, or MRO, activities along with a slight increase in the demand for spare parts. Military revenues increased primarily due to revenue related to increased sales on a variety of OEM and aftermarket airframe components offset by a decrease in revenues related to airframe components on various OEM development programs, as more of these products moved from development into production. The $1.7 million increase in industrial revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in cryogenic pump revenues.

Aerospace gross profit for the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005 increased $1.0 million, or 6.0%, to $17.6 million from $16.6 million in the 13 week period ended May 1, 2004. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the increase in higher margin commercial aerospace aftermarket revenues partially offset by an increase in non-cash compensation expense associated with the ESOP. Aerospace gross margin decreased to 46.0% for the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005 from 47.4% in the 13 week period ended May 1, 2004 primarily as a result of an increase in non-cash compensation expense associated with the ESOP. Industrial gross profit for the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005 increased $0.8 million, or 19.5%, to $4.9 million from $4.1 million in the 13 week period ended May 1, 2004. Industrial gross margin increased to 34.9% in the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005 from 33.3% in the 13 week period ended May 1, 2004. The increase in gross profit and gross margin was primarily attributable to an increase in revenues, and a decrease in manufacturing costs, for our cryogenic pump products.

Operating expenses for the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005 increased $3.1 million, or 27.0%, to $14.6 million from $11.5 million in the 13 week period ended May 1, 2004. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $2.7 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $0.5 million in research and development expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense is primarily related to an increase in non-cash compensation expenses associated with our stock appreciation rights plan, the ESOP and an early retirement program for hourly employees. The stock appreciation rights plan and hourly early retirement expenses were recorded in our Corporate business segment. The increase in research and development expenses is due to a decrease in customer paid development expenses. Operating expenses as a percent of revenues increased to 28.0% for the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005 as compared to 24.3% for the 13 week period ended May 1, 2004.

Income from operations for the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005 decreased $1.5 million, or 16.3%, to $7.7 million from $9.2 million in the 13 week period ended May 1, 2004. As a percent of revenues, income from operations for the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005 decreased to 14.8% from 19.4% for the 13 week period ended May 1, 2004. These decreases were primarily due to the increase in non-cash compensation expenses associated with our stock appreciation rights plan, the ESOP and an early retirement program for hourly employees and an increase in research and development expenses partially offset by increased sales of higher margin commercial aerospace aftermarket revenues, the increase in cryogenic pump revenues and a decrease in manufacturing costs for our cryogenic pump products.

Interest expense for the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005 increased $1.2 million, or 23.5%, to $6.3 million from $5.1 million in the 13 week period ended May 1, 2004 primarily due to the increase in

14

interest expense on the $250.0 million of 9.25% senior notes issued in June 2004, which was partially offset by lower outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.

The income tax provision was $0.4 million for the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005 as compared to $1.4 million for the 13 week period ended May 1, 2004. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income and a lower estimated effective tax rate in the current year.

Net income for the 13 week period ended April 30, 2005 decreased $1.6 million to $1.1 million from $2.7 million for the 13 week period ended May 1, 2004, primarily due to the revenue and expense factors discussed above.

Results of Operations for the 26 Week Period Ended April 30, 2005 Compared With the 27 Week Period Ended May 1, 2004

Net revenues for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 increased $7.8 million, or 8.5%, to $99.6 million from $91.8 million for the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004. This increase was primarily due to an increase in aerospace revenues of $8.7 million offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in industrial revenues. The increase in aerospace revenues was attributable to an increase of $8.9 million of commercial aerospace revenues and a decrease of $0.2 million in military revenues. Commercial OEM revenues increased $1.6 million, or 14.5%, to $12.6 million and commercial aftermarket revenues increased $7.3 million, or 25.3%, to $36.1 million in the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005. Commercial OEM revenues increased primarily as a result of an increase in pump requirements from our customers. Commercial aftermarket revenues increased primarily due to an increase in MRO services along with an increase in demand for spare parts. Military revenues decreased primarily due to a reduction in revenues related to OEM airframe development programs, partially offset by an increase in OEM and aftermarket main engine fuel pump revenues and OEM airframe components, as more of the airframe components moved from development into production. The $0.9 million decrease in industrial revenues was primarily attributable to a decrease in cryogenic pump and business park revenues, offset by a slight increase in ground fueling revenues.

Aerospace gross profit for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 increased $3.6 million, or 11.8%, to $34.1 million from $30.5 million in the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to an increase in sales of higher margin commercial aerospace aftermarket products, partially offset by a slight increase in manufacturing costs and non-cash compensation expense associated with the ESOP. Aerospace gross margin decreased to 45.7% for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 from 46.3% in the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004 primarily as a result of an increase in manufacturing costs and non-cash compensation expense associated with the ESOP partially offset by an increase in sales of higher margin commercial aerospace aftermarket products. Industrial gross profit for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 increased $1.1 million, or 13.9%, to $9.0 million from $7.9 million in the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004. Industrial gross margin increased to 36.0% in the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 from 30.5% in the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004. The increase in gross profit and gross margin is primarily attributable to improved margins, and a decrease in manufacturing costs, for our cryogenic pump products.

Operating expenses for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 increased $3.6 million, or 16.8%, to $25.0 million from $21.4 million in the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004. This increase is primarily due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $2.8 million and research and development expenses of $0.8 million. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense is primarily related to an increase in non-cash compensation expenses associated with our stock appreciation rights plan, the ESOP and an early retirement program for hourly employees. The stock appreciation rights plan and hourly early retirement expenses were recorded in our Corporate business segment. The increase in research and development expenses is due to a decrease in customer paid development expenses. Operating expenses as a percent of revenues increased to 25.1% for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 as compared to 23.3% for the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004.

15

Income from operations for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 increased $1.0 million, or 5.9%, to $17.9 million from $16.9 million in the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004. As a percent of revenues, income from operations for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 decreased to 18.0% from 18.4% for the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004. The increase in income was primarily due to the increased sales

of higher margin commercial aerospace aftermarket revenues and improved margins and reduced manufacturing costs on cryogenic pump products partially offset by the increase in non-cash compensation expenses associated with our stock appreciation rights plan, the ESOP and an early retirement program for our hourly employees, and an increase in research and development expenses.

Interest expense for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 increased $2.1 million, or 20.0%, to $12.6 million from $10.5 million in the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004 primarily due to the increase in interest expense on the $250.0 million of 9.25% senior notes issued in June 2004, which was partially offset by lower outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.

The income tax provision was $1.5 million for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 as compared to $2.1 million for the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income and a lower estimated effective tax rate in the current year.

Net income for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 decreased $0.4 million to $3.9 million from $4.3 million for the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004 primarily due to the revenue and expense factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Argo-Tech is a holding company that receives all of its operating income from its subsidiaries. As a result, Argo-Tech’s primary source of liquidity for conducting business activities and servicing its indebtedness has been cash flows from operating activities.

Cash and cash equivalents for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 decreased $9.2 million to $6.6 million. This was primarily due to an increase in inventory, receivables and prepaid expenses in support of our manufacturing activities, capital expenditures, the purchase of AT Holdings stock from former ESOP participants, a dividend to AT Holdings for the development of a proprietary asset tracking technology and the scheduled repayment of our term loan, partially offset by an increase in operating income and an increase in accrued and other liabilities for the accrual of interest on our $250.0 million of 9.25% senior notes and the liability associated with stock appreciation rights.

Capital expenditures for the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005 totaled $1.8 million compared to $0.7 million for the 27 week period ended May 1, 2004. Argo-Tech expects to incur capital expenditures of approximately $2.7 million for the remainder of fiscal year 2005 relating to the continued maintenance of facilities, equipment and systems to support current operating activities.

Long-term debt at April 30, 2005 consisted of $14.4 million principal amount of our term loan and $250.0 million of senior notes. Scheduled payments of $0.4 million were made on the term loan in the 26 week period ended April 30, 2005. Our amended and restated senior credit facility provides for a $30.0 million five-year revolving credit facility and a $15.0 million five-year term loan facility. At April 30, 2005, Argo-Tech has available, after $6.8 million in letters of credit, a $23.2 million revolving credit facility. As of April 30, 2005, there were no outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility. The credit facility contains no restrictions on the ability of Argo-Tech’s subsidiaries to make distributions to Argo-Tech.

Our expected future contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments for the next several fiscal years, as of April 30, 2005, are as follows (in millions):

We believe that cash flow from operations will provide adequate funds for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and near term debt service obligations. Our ability to fund our operations, make planned capital expenditures, and to make scheduled payments on our indebtedness depends on our future operating performance and cash flow. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. These items are subject to prevailing conditions and to financial, business, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

From time to time, information provided by Argo-Tech, statements by its employees or information included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including those portions of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis that refer to the future) may contain forward-looking statements that are not historical facts. Those statements are “forward-looking” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements, and Argo-Tech’s future performance, operating results, financial position and liquidity, are subject to a variety of factors that could materially affect results. Some, but not necessarily all, of these factors include:

	•	changes and/or cyclicality in the aerospace industry;
	•	governmental regulation and oversight in the aerospace industry;
	•	levels of competition in the aerospace industry;
	•	the impact of terrorism and war on airline travel and the airline industry;
	•	our ability to meet future capital requirements;
	•	loss of a significant customer;
	•	risks associated with fixed-price contracts;
	•	costs associated with product liability and warranty claims;

17

	•	risks associated with our international operations;
	•	changes in environmental or other applicable governmental regulations;
	•	reduction in military and/or defense spending and risks associated with government contracts;
	•	changes in our relationship with our employees;
	•	availability of essential materials used in our products;
	•	risks associated with protection of our intellectual property rights;
	•	the other factors described in Argo-Tech’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 30, 2004; and
	•	other unforeseen circumstances.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the ordinary course of operations, Argo-Tech’s major market risk exposure is to changing interest rates, primarily with respect to its long-term debt obligations. At April 30, 2005, Argo-Tech had fixed rate debt totaling $250.0 million at 9.25% and variable rate debt under its existing credit facility of $14.4 million calculated at Argo-Tech’s choice using an alternate base rate (ABR) or LIBOR, plus a supplemental percentage determined by the ratio of debt to adjusted EBITDA. The variable rate is not to exceed ABR plus 1.25% or LIBOR plus 2.75%. Argo-Tech currently has no derivative contracts and does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. A 10% fluctuation in interest rates would not materially affect Argo-Tech’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 4.

The management of Argo-Tech, including its Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Argo-Tech’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of April 30, 2005.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in Argo-Tech’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during the quarter ended April 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Argo-Tech’s internal control over financial reporting.

(c) Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires management to report on, and its independent auditors to attest to, Argo-Tech’s internal control over financial reporting in its annual report, beginning with the annual report for Argo-Tech’s fiscal year ending October 28, 2006.
