ENGINEERING AND DESIGN
As the Company has grown both internally and through acquisition,
it has significantly increased its engineering capabilities. The Company
currently has 965 people engaged in engineering activities that encompass
advanced development, engineering research and development, product
improvement and evolution, new product development, productionization,
logistic and life cycle support, product re-engineering and support
services. The Company's depth of engineering capabilities allows it to cover
all phases of a project from conception to full-life cycle support.
The majority of development activities are conducted pursuant to,
and funded directly or indirectly through, DoD contracts in response to
designated performance specifications. The Company's expenditures on
internal research and development (IRAD) were approximately $4.3 million,
$2.9 million and $1.8 million for the years ended October 31, 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively. The Company anticipates that IRAD will approximate $5.0
million in fiscal year 2005. The Company also anticipates a significant
increase in DoD contracted research and development (CRAD) in fiscal 2005
and beyond. The Company believes that its engineering expertise gives it a
significant competitive advantage in the development of differentiated
products.
The Company's engineering expertise is complementary to the
military markets it serves, primarily the environmental control, power,
electronics, heavy mechanical and material handling, security,
communications, service and logistical support markets. The Company has
engineering capabilities in the areas of system design and analysis,
electronic signal processing, power electronics, software, firmware,
mechanical design, control, electro-mechanical, electro-optical,
electro-chemical, acoustics, thermodynamics, fluid and air flow, fluid
pumping, HVAC, liquid fuel combustion, chemical and biological hardened
environmental control, filtration and decontamination, power system
analysis, environmental control system analysis, stress analysis, water
treatment analysis, water purification technology, radar, target acquisition
systems, automatic test equipment, communication system analysis and all the
logistic support disciplines to include reliability, maintainability,
embedded diagnostics and prognostics, training and the development of
web-based interactive electronic technical manuals (IETM). Company
subsidiaries
5
within the Support Services segment have engineering expertise in such
diverse fields as re-engineering obsolete mechanical and electronic
products, nano-hardened products, security system design, fuel cells and
super critical reformation. The Company's engineering expertise has
significant overlap throughout its operating subsidiaries, allowing it to
leverage engineering personnel and technologies, and to function as an
integrated team.
The Company's design and development of new products is enhanced by
a number of computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems as
well as a number of automated system design and analysis tools. CAD/CAM
tools are used by both engineers and draftsmen to design and validate
complex products and component parts. The Company utilizes both two- and
three-dimensional CAD/CAM tools, providing both design and production
engineers an interactive environment with which to view the final product
and all the relevant interfaces. These tools are compatible across all of
the Company's operating subsidiaries, allowing for virtual design and
development without regard to geographical location. The Company's
engineering technologies and expertise provide it with the ability to adapt
its production processes to new product needs on a timely basis. The Company
also has the capability to provide complete technical data support for the
products it manufactures to include integrated logistics support, spare
parts provisioning and preparation of technical manuals.
The Company intends to leverage its engineering and design
capabilities to continue to develop and evolve differentiated products and
services that address both the current and future needs of the DoD for rapid
deployment, smaller, lighter and more efficient equipment, and for
innovative, value-added service offerings.
MARKETING AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
The Company's business development efforts are undertaken at two
functional levels. The Company's corporate operation focuses on long-term
strategic planning, policy development, best practice identification and
dissemination, and on major programs which require the bundling of products
and services across traditional subsidiary lines. In addition, the Company's
corporate Washington D.C. operations interface with service staffs within
the Pentagon and liaisons with key Congressional delegations. At the
subsidiary level, a sales force is engaged
6
to identify and pursue programs with specific customers in a variety of
markets. With increased emphasis on the Company's vision for the future,
efforts have begun to strengthen the long-term strategic planning process.
Market-based peer groups enable experts throughout the Company to share
knowledge and collectively recommend direction and strategy. These peer
groups also evaluate market intelligence, customer knowledge and core
competencies to refine the Company's growth strategies.
The Company's Business Development Organization meets on a regular
basis to identify and disseminate best practices in the areas of proposal
development and market presence. The sales force shares customer and market
intelligence, identifies key opportunities and assesses campaign strategies.
The Company gathers information from primary sources such as the DoD budget
and its supporting documents, and military requirements documents such as
Initial Capabilities Documents, along with direct interface with its
customers. The Company analyzes this data through an established business
opportunity procedure and then determines whether or not to bid on specific
projects based upon determinations of potential profitability and the
likelihood of award.
Major marketing and business development efforts in fiscal 2005 can
be segmented into four areas. The first will be increasing the Company's
relationship with prime contractors. With continued emphasis from DoD for
Lead System Integrators (LSI) and few companies qualifying for that role,
the Company has developed marketing efforts to support specific companies in
their LSI roles. Secondly, the Company will continue to engage with
non-traditional military customers, including the Homeland Security, the
Coast Guard and international markets. Thirdly, significant resources will
be devoted to winning next generation programs in our traditional markets of
power generation, environmental controls and sustainment systems. Finally,
as the DoD moves to reset equipment used `in theatre', the Company will
emphasize depot support initiatives that enable consistent and efficient
refurbishment of equipment.
PURCHASED COMPONENTS AND RAW MATERIALS
The Company's products require a wide variety of components and
materials. Although the Company has multiple sources of supply for most of
its material requirements, sole-source vendors supply certain components,
and
7
the Company's ability to perform certain contracts depends on their
performance. In the past, these required raw materials and various purchased
components generally have been available in sufficient quantities.
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING
The Company's government contracts are obtained through the DoD
procurement process as governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulations and
related regulations and agency supplements, and are typically fixed-price
contracts. This means that the price is agreed upon before the contract is
awarded and the Company assumes complete responsibility for any difference
between estimated and actual costs.
Under the Truth in Negotiations Act of 1962 (Negotiations Act), the
U.S. government has the right for three years after final payment on certain
negotiated contracts, subcontracts and modifications thereto, to determine
whether the Company furnished the U.S. government with complete, accurate
and current cost or pricing data as defined by the Negotiations Act. In the
event the Company fails to satisfy this requirement, the U.S. government has
the right to adjust a contract or subcontract price by the amount of any
overstatement as defined by the Negotiations Act.
U.S. government contracts permit the U.S. government to
unilaterally terminate these contracts at its convenience. In the event of
such termination, the Company is entitled to reimbursement for certain
expenditures and overhead as provided for in applicable U.S. government
procurement regulations. Generally, this results in the contractor being
reasonably compensated for work actually done, but not for anticipated
profits. The U.S. government may also terminate contracts for cause if the
Company fails to perform in strict accordance with contract terms. The
Company has never had a contract terminated by the U.S. government for
failure to perform in accordance with contract terms. Termination of, or
elimination of appropriation for, a significant government contract could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations in subsequent periods. Similarly, U.S.
government contracts typically permit the U.S. government to change, alter
or modify the contract at its discretion. If the U.S. government were to
exercise this right, the Company
8
could be entitled to reimbursement of all allowable and allocable costs
incurred in making the change plus a reasonable profit.
For manufactured items, the U.S. government typically finances a
substantial portion of the Company's contract costs through progress
payments. As such, the Company receives progress payments in accordance with
DoD contract terms which provide progress payments at 75% to 90% of costs
incurred.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company owns various patents and other forms of intellectual
property. From time to time, the Company develops proprietary information
and trade secrets regarding the design and manufacture of various products.
The Company considers its proprietary information and intellectual property
to be valuable assets. However, the Company's business is not materially
dependent on their protection.
COMPETITION
The markets for all of the Company's products and services are
highly competitive. In order to obtain U.S. government contracts, the
Company must comply with detailed and complex procurement procedures adopted
by the DoD pursuant to regulations promulgated by the U.S. government. The
regulations and procurement procedures are adopted to promote competitive
bidding. In addition, the Company competes with a large number of suppliers
to commercial and industrial air handling customers. In all phases of its
operations, the Company competes in both performance and price with
companies, some of which are considerably larger, more diversified and have
greater financial resources than the Company.
BACKLOG
The Company records its backlog as either funded or unfunded
backlog. The Company's funded backlog was $588.1 million and $533.4 million
as of October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company's funded backlog
is subject to fluctuations and is not necessarily indicative of future
revenues. Funded backlog represents
9
products or services that the customer has committed by contract to purchase
from the Company. Unfunded backlog includes products or services that the
customer has the option to purchase under contract with the Company,
including, with respect to contracts which include a maximum amount
purchasable by the customer thereunder, such maximum amount, and with
respect to contracts without a specified maximum amount, the Company's
estimate of the amount it expects the customer to purchase using the Best
Estimated Quantity (BEQ) as a guide where a BEQ is specified. There are no
commitments by the customer to purchase products or services included in
unfunded backlog and there can be no assurance that any or all amounts
included therein will generate revenue for the Company. Moreover,
cancellations of purchase orders or reductions of product quantities or
levels of service to be provided in existing contracts could substantially
reduce the Company's funded backlog and, consequently, future net revenues.
Failure of the Company to replace canceled or reduced backlog, whether
funded or unfunded, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations in subsequent
periods.
The following table summarizes funded and unfunded defense backlog
(in millions) as of the indicated dates:

management functions. District No. 9 of the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers (AFL-CIO) represents 371 employees under a
collective bargaining agreement, which expires March 21, 2008.
The Company considers its overall employee relations to be
satisfactory.

County, Missouri which it vacated during the year ended October 31, 2003.
The carrying value of this property was adjusted during the year ended
October 31, 2002 to reflect management's estimated loss on disposal.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- ------- -----------------
The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time parties to
various legal proceedings arising out of their business. Management believes
that there are no such proceedings pending or threatened against them which,
if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.
As discussed in Note E of the Consolidated Financial Statements,
the Company completed the sale of ESP, a wholly-owned subsidiary, in the
quarter ended April 30, 2003 to a private equity group (the Buyers). The
Buyers subsequently alleged that the Company breached certain
representations made under the related Stock Purchase Agreement (the
Agreement) and are seeking $6.0 million in damages from the Company. Under
the terms of the Agreement, this claim is subject to binding arbitration
which the Company believes will be completed by April 30, 2005. The Company
has denied liability and is defending the claim vigorously. The Company also
believes that this claim is without merit and that awarded damages, if any,
will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SHAREHOLDERS

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- -------- ----------------------------------------------------------
Market risks relating to the Company's operations result primarily
from changes in interest rates. In order to manage this risk, the Company
periodically converts its variable-rate debt to fixed rates via interest
rate swaps. In November 2002, Company interest rate swaps on $23.6 million
of variable-rate debt, matured. Given outstanding debt levels, significant
cash flows and anticipated expenditures during fiscal years 2003 and 2004,
Company management has not utilized interest rate swaps or other derivative
contracts to hedge this risk since November 2002. Management does not
believe its exposure to interest rate fluctuations has had, or will have, a
significant impact on the Company's operations. A 10% increase in the
Company's effective interest rate would have resulted in additional interest
expense of $122 for the year ended October 31, 2004.
