HEICO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
HEICO Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in
annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2002.
The October 31, 2002 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from
the Company's audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of
management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a
fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of
operations and cash flows for such interim periods presented. The results of
operations for the six months ended April 30, 2003 are not necessarily
indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the current year presentation.
2. The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation using the
intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations.
Accordingly, compensation expense has been recorded in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements for those options granted below fair market
value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The following table
illustrates the pro forma effects on net income and net income per share as if
the Company had applied the fair-value recognition provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation.

$ 47,980,000 $ 49,230,000
================ ================
As of April 30, 2003 and October 31, 2002, the Company had a total of $46
million and $54 million, respectively, borrowed under its $120 million revolving
credit facility (Credit Facility) at weighted average interest rates of 2.3% and
2.9%, respectively. As explained in Note 9, the Company replaced the Credit
Facility in May 2003 and all current maturities under the Credit Facility as of
April 30, 2003 have been reclassified as long-term debt in the April 30, 2003
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet pursuant to the terms of the new facility.
The interest rates on the Series 1988 industrial development revenue bonds were
1.4% and 1.9% as of April 30, 2003 and October 31, 2002, respectively.
9. In May 2003, the Company entered into a new $120 million revolving credit
agreement (new Credit Facility) with a bank syndicate, which contains both
revolving credit and term loan features. Borrowings outstanding under the
previous Credit Facility were repaid with borrowings under the new Credit
Facility, which expires in May 2006. The new Credit Facility may be used for
working capital and general corporate needs of the Company, including letters of
credit, and to finance acquisitions (generally not in excess of an aggregate
total of $30 million over any trailing twelve-month period without the requisite
approval of the bank syndicate). The Company has the option to extend the
revolving credit term for two one-year periods or to convert outstanding
advances as of the initial expiration date to term loans amortizing over the
subsequent twelve-month period subject to requisite bank syndicate approval.
Advances under the new Credit Facility accrue interest at the Company's choice
of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), or the "Base Rate," plus
applicable margins (based on the Company's ratio of total funded debt to
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or "leverage
ratio"). The Base Rate is the higher of (i) the Prime Rate or (ii) the Federal
Funds rate plus .50%. The applicable margins range from 1.00% to 2.25% for LIBOR
based borrowings and from .00% to .75% for Base Rate based borrowings. A fee is
charged on the amount of the unused
8
commitment ranging from .25% to .50% (depending on the leverage ratio of the
Company). The new Credit Facility is secured by all assets other than real
property of the Company and its subsidiaries and contains covenants which
require, among other things, the maintenance of the leverage ratio and a fixed
charge coverage ratio as well as minimum net worth requirements.
10. The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," effective as of its first quarter of
fiscal 2003. FIN 45 requires, among other things as further detailed in Note 18,
disclosures to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain
guarantees that it has issued. Such disclosures for the Company are set forth
below.
The Company has arranged for standby letters of credit aggregating to $1.2
million to meet the security requirement of its insurance company for potential
workers compensation claims and one of the Company's subsidiaries has guaranteed
its performance related to a customer contract through a $0.5 million letter of
credit expiring July 2003. These letters of credit are supported by the
Company's Credit Facility. In addition, the Company's industrial development
revenue bonds are secured by a $2.0 million letter of credit expiring February
2004 and a mortgage on the related properties pledged as collateral.
The Company's accounting policy for product warranties, which is included in the
accompanying balance sheets under the caption "Accrued expenses and other
current liabilities," is to accrue an estimated liability at the time of
shipment. The amount recognized is based on historical claim cost experience.
Changes in the product warranty liability for the six months ended April 30,
2003 are as follows:
Balance as of October 31, 2002 $ 685,000
Accruals for warranties issued during the period 90,000

expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2003 and 2002 were $2.1 million
and $2.6 million, respectively. The expenses for the fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002

/(1)/ During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2002, one of the Company's
subsidiaries formerly included in the Electronic Technologies Group was
reclassified to the Flight Support Group. Prior period results have been
retroactively restated to reflect the revised segment classification.
16. The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal
course of business. Based upon the amounts sought by the plaintiffs in these
actions, management is of the opinion that the outcome of these matters will not
have a significant effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial
statements.
17. As partial consideration in the acquisition of Inertial Airline Services,
Inc. (IAS) in August 2001, the Company issued $5 million in HEICO Class A Common
Stock (289,964 shares) and guaranteed that the resale value of such Class A
Common Stock would be at least $5 million through August 31, 2002, which both
parties agreed to extend to August 31, 2003. Based on the closing market price
of HEICO Class A Common Stock on April 30, 2003, the Company would have had to
pay the seller an additional amount of approximately $3.2 million in cash, which
would have been recorded as a reduction of shareholders' equity. Concurrent with
the purchase,
11
the Company loaned the seller $5 million, which is due August 31, 2003 and is
secured by the 289,964 shares of HEICO Class A Common Stock. The loan is
reflected as a reduction in the equity section of the Company's consolidated
balance sheet as a note receivable secured by Class A Common Stock.
18. On November 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of."
SFAS No. 144 applies to all long-lived assets (including discontinued
operations) and consequently amends Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of
a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions." SFAS No. 144 develops one accounting model (based on
the model in SFAS No. 121) for long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by
sale, as well as addresses the principal implementation issues. SFAS No. 144
requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured
at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. That requirement
eliminates the requirement of APB Opinion No. 30 that discontinued operations be
measured at net realizable value or that entities include under "discontinued
operations" in the financial statements amounts for operating losses that have
not yet occurred. Additionally, SFAS No. 144 expands the scope of discontinued
operations to include all components of an entity with operations that (1) can
be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be eliminated from the
ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. The adoption of SFAS
No. 144 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.
On November 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." This Statement eliminates the SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and
Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," requirement that gains and losses from
extinguishment of debt be classified as an extraordinary item, and requires that
such gains and losses be evaluated for extraordinary classification under the
criteria of APB Opinion No. 30. This statement also amends SFAS No. 13,
"Accounting for Leases," to require that certain lease modifications that have
economic effects that are similar to sales-leaseback transactions be accounted
for in the same manner as sales-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also makes
various other technical corrections to existing pronouncements. The adoption of
SFAS No. 145 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial position.
In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on
Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables" (EITF 00-21).
This Issue addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for
arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities.
EITF 00-21 provides guidance to determine how arrangement consideration should
be measured, whether an arrangement should be divided into separate units of
accounting, and how arrangement consideration should be allocated among separate
units of accounting. The provisions of EITF 00-21 are effective for revenue
arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The
Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 00-21 to have a material effect on
its results of operations or financial position.
12
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others." This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a
guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations
under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor
is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the
fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial
recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation are applicable on
a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.
The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statement
periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted FIN 45 effective as
of its first quarter of fiscal 2003, which did not have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial position. The disclosures made
pursuant to FIN 45 may be found in Note 10.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." This Statement amends SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of
transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method
of accounting for stock-based compensation. It also amends the disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on
reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to
stock-based employee compensation. Finally, SFAS No. 148 amends APB Opinion No.
28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require disclosure about those effects in
interim financial information. The transition guidance and annual disclosure
requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The
interim disclosure requirements are effective for interim periods beginning
after December 15, 2002 and may be found in Note 2.
On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires recognition of a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity at fair value
when the liability is incurred. Previously, a liability for an exit cost was
recognized when the entity committed to an exit plan under EITF Issue No. 94-3.
The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material effect on the Company's
results of operations or financial position, but may affect the timing and
amounts of the recognition of future restructuring costs.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." This Interpretation clarifies the
application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial
Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the
characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient
equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 requires an enterprise
to consolidate a variable interest entity if that enterprise will absorb a
majority of the entity's expected losses, is entitled to receive a majority of
the entity's expected residual returns, or both. FIN 46 also requires
13
disclosures about unconsolidated variable interest entities in which an
enterprise holds a significant variable interest. FIN 46 is effective for
variable interest entities created or entered into after January 31, 2003. It
applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15,
2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable
interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company does not expect
the adoption of FIN 46 to have a material effect on its results of operations or
financial position.
19. In May 2003, the Company, through a subsidiary, acquired substantially all
of the assets and business of an unrelated entity. The purchase price was not
significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
This discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be
read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and
Notes thereto included herein. The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates
if different assumptions were used or different events ultimately transpire.
The Company's critical accounting policies, which require management to make
judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, are described in Item 7,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies" in the Company's
2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company has two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (FSG),
consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. (HEICO Aerospace) and its
subsidiaries, and the Electronic Technologies Group (ETG), consisting of HEICO
Electronic Technologies Corp., and its subsidiaries.

COMPARISON OF FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2003 TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2002
Net Sales
Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2003 totaled $83.4 million,
compared to net sales of $84.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2002.
The slightly lower net sales reflects a decrease of $4.5 million (a 17%
decrease) to $21.3 million in sales from the ETG, partially offset by an
increase of $3.7 million (a 6% increase) to $62.3 million in sales from the FSG.
The decrease in sales within the ETG primarily resulted from a decline in demand
from certain foreign military customers and from shipments that were deferred
due to production delays in certain products as well as some delays pursuant to
customer requirements. The FSG sales increase primarily reflects higher
commercial aftermarket parts and services sales, principally attributable to
sales of new products and services.
Gross Profits and Operating Expenses
The Company's gross profit margins averaged 33.2% for the first six months of
fiscal 2003 as compared to 36.0% for the first six months of fiscal 2002,
reflecting lower margins within the ETG, partially offset by higher margins
within the FSG. The ETG's gross profit margin decrease was primarily caused by
lower foreign military sales, lower sales of higher margin products and
16
the deferred shipments previously discussed. The FSG's gross profit margin
increase was principally due to higher sales volumes and lower new product
research and development expenses. Consolidated cost of sales amounts for the
first six months of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 include approximately $4.3
million and $5.2 million, respectively, of new product research and development
expenses. The decline in new product research and development expenses is in
line with a decrease in the fiscal 2003 budget relative to actual fiscal 2002
expenses.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $17.2 million and $18.4
million for the first six months of fiscal 2003 and the first six months of
fiscal 2002, respectively. The decrease in SG&A expenses is mainly due to lower
commission expenses within the ETG due to the lower sales discussed previously
and lower corporate expenses. Corporate expenses in the first six months of
fiscal 2003 include the reversal of approximately $400,000 of professional fees
that were accrued in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 pursuant to a contractual
arrangement, which was renegotiated in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. As a
percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 20.6% for the first six
months of fiscal 2003 compared to 22.0% for the first six months of fiscal 2002.
The decrease is due to the reduction in corporate expenses and higher sales
volumes within the FSG, partially offset by the lower sales within the ETG.
Operating Income
Operating income totaled $10.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2003
versus $11.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002. The decrease in
operating income reflects a decrease from $6.1 million to $2.7 million in the
Company's ETG, partially offset by an increase from $8.1 million to $9.5 million
in the Company's FSG and a $0.7 million reduction in corporate expenses. As a
percentage of net sales, operating income decreased from 14.0% in the first six
months of fiscal 2002 to 12.5% in the first six months of fiscal 2003. The
decline in operating income as a percentage of net sales reflects a decrease in
the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales from 23.6% in the first
six months of fiscal 2002 to 12.6% in the first six months of fiscal 2003,
partially offset by an increase in the FSG's operating income as a percentage of
net sales from 13.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2002 to 15.3% in the
first six months of fiscal 2003. The decrease in the ETG's operating income and
operating income as a percentage of net sales reflects the lower sales and gross
profit margins discussed previously. The increase in the FSG's operating income
and operating income as a percentage of net sales reflects the higher sales and
lower new product development expenses discussed previously.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $630,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2003
from $1,262,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2002. The decrease was
principally due to a lower weighted average balance outstanding under the
Company's Credit Facility in fiscal 2003 and lower interest rates.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income in the first six months of fiscal 2003 approximated
amounts in the first six months of fiscal 2002.
17
Gain on Sale of Product Line
In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recognized an additional
pretax gain of $1,230,000 ($765,000 net of tax or $.03 per diluted share) on the
sale of the Trilectron product line due to the elimination of certain reserves
upon the expiration of indemnification provisions of the sales contract.
Minority Interests
Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries represents the minority
interests held in HEICO Aerospace. The increase from the first six months of
fiscal 2002 to the first six months of fiscal 2003 was primarily due to higher
earnings of the FSG.
Net Income
The Company's net income was $5.4 million, or $.25 per diluted share, in the
first six months of fiscal 2003 and $6.8 million, or $.30 per diluted share, in
the first six months of fiscal 2002. Net income in the first half of fiscal 2002
included the $765,000, or $.03 per share, after tax gain on the sale of the
product line referenced above.
OUTLOOK
The Company reported improved earnings in the FSG for both the second quarter
and first six months of fiscal 2003 relative to the same periods of fiscal 2002,
despite the continued weakness in the world economy and commercial aerospace
industry. However, the recent military conflict in Iraq and the outbreak of
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) contributed to a decline in operating
results within the FSG for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the
first quarter of fiscal 2003. The improved earnings in the FSG over the prior
year are a result of new product development efforts and strategic relationships
with some of the world's major airlines. The Company believes that this increase
validates its well-known strategy of constantly focusing on medium to long-term
growth opportunities. In addition, the Company has continued to expand its
services to the regional airlines through a small acquisition in May 2003.
Sales within the ETG for the first six months of 2003 were lower than the same
period of 2002; however, sales and operating income for the second quarter of
2003 were up $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, compared to the first
quarter of 2003. This increase reflects the shipments of some of the products
that were delayed in the first quarter, although the timing of certain foreign
military sales remains uncertain.
Despite challenges in the aviation industry, the Company remains committed to
growth through its new product development programs. The Company's new parts and
repair services continue to lower the operating costs of its worldwide
customers, and have become integral to their cost reduction and survival
strategies. Further, the Company's partnerships with Lufthansa, American
Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Air Canada give it a committed
customer base on which it can plan future growth. While the Company remains
confident of long-term opportunities for growth, the current uncertainty in the
commercial aviation industry has resulted
18
in the lowering of targeted fiscal 2003 earnings to a range of $.50 - $.55 per
share on sales growth of 1% to 2% over fiscal 2002 sales.
COMPARISON OF SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2003 TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2002
Net Sales
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 totaled $41.6 million, compared
to net sales of $43.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The
decrease in net sales reflects a decrease of $2.3 million (a 17% decrease) to
$11.3 million in sales from the ETG, partially offset by an increase of $0.8
million (a 3% increase) to $30.4 million in sales from the FSG. The decrease in
sales within the ETG primarily resulted from a decline in demand from certain
foreign military customers and to a lesser extent, shipments that were deferred
due to production delays in certain products as well as some delays pursuant to
customer requirements. The sales increase in the FSG primarily reflects higher
commercial aftermarket parts and services sales, principally attributable to
sales of new products and services.
Gross Profits and Operating Expenses
The Company's gross profit margins averaged 33.4% for the second quarter of
fiscal 2003 as compared to 35.7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2002,
reflecting lower margins within the ETG, partially offset by higher margins
within the FSG. The ETG's gross profit margin decrease was primarily caused by
the reduced foreign military sales, lower sales of higher margin products and
deferred shipments mentioned above. The FSG's gross profit margin increase was
principally due to lower new product research and development expenses and
higher sales volumes. Consolidated cost of sales amounts for the second quarter
of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 include approximately $2.1 million and $2.6
million, respectively, of new product research and development expenses.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $9.0 million and $9.4
million for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 and the second quarter of fiscal
2002, respectively. The decrease in SG&A expenses is mainly due to lower
commission expenses within the ETG due to the lower sales discussed above. As a
percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased slightly to 21.6% for the
second quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to 21.8% for the second quarter of fiscal
2002.
Operating Income
Operating income totaled $4.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2003
versus $6.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in
operating income reflects a decrease from $3.4 million to $1.9 million in the
Company's ETG, partially offset by an increase from $3.8 million to $4.2 million
in the Company's FSG. As a percentage of net sales, operating income decreased
from 14.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 to 11.9% in the second quarter
of fiscal 2003. The decline in operating income as a percentage of net sales
reflects a decrease in the ETG's operating income as a percentage of net sales
from 25.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 to 16.9% in the second quarter
of fiscal 2003, partially offset by an increase in the FSG's operating income as
a percentage of net sales from 13.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 to
13.7% in the second
19
quarter of fiscal 2003. The decrease in the ETG's operating income and operating
income as a percentage of net sales reflects the lower sales and gross profit
margins discussed previously. The increase in the FSG's operating income and
operating income as a percentage of net sales reflects the lower new product
development expenses and higher sales discussed previously.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $189,000 from $474,000 in the second quarter of
fiscal 2002 to $285,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. The decrease was
principally due to a lower weighted average balance outstanding under the
Company's Credit Facility in fiscal 2003 and lower interest rates.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 approximated
amounts in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.
Gain on Sale of Product Line
In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recognized an additional
pretax gain of $1,230,000 ($765,000 net of tax or $.03 per diluted share) on the
sale of the Trilectron product line due to the elimination of certain reserves
upon the expiration of indemnification provisions of the sales contract.
Minority Interests
Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries represents the minority
interests held in HEICO Aerospace. The increase from the second quarter of
fiscal 2002 to the second quarter of fiscal 2003 was primarily due to higher
earnings of the FSG.
Net Income
The Company's net income was $2.6 million, or $.12 per diluted share, in the
second quarter of fiscal 2003 and $4.0 million, or $.18 per diluted share, in
the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Net income in the second quarter of fiscal
2002 included the $765,000, or $.03 per share, after tax gain on the sale of the
product line referenced above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company generates cash primarily from its operating activities and financing
activities, including borrowings under long-term credit agreements.
Principal uses of cash by the Company include acquisitions, payments of interest
and principal on debt, capital expenditures and increases in working capital.
The Company believes that its operating cash flow and available borrowings under
the Company's
20
Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund cash requirements for the foreseeable
future.
Operating Activities
The Company's cash flow from operating activities was $13.5 million for the
first six months of fiscal 2003, consisting primarily of net income of $5.4
million, depreciation and amortization of $2.4 million, an increase in net
operating assets of $2.4 million, a deferred income tax provision of $1.9
million, minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries of $1.0 million, and a
tax benefit related to stock option exercises of $.3 million.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2003
related primarily to capital expenditures totaling $2.3 million for building
improvements at certain manufacturing facilities and equipment purchases.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2003
primarily related to principal repayments totaling $8 million on the Company's
Credit Facility.
In May 2003, the Company entered into a new $120 million revolving credit
agreement (new Credit Facility) with a bank syndicate, which contains both
revolving credit and term loan features. Borrowings outstanding under the
previous Credit Facility were repaid with borrowings under the new Credit
Facility, which expires in May 2006. The new Credit Facility may be used for
working capital and general corporate needs of the Company, including letters of
credit, and to finance acquisitions. The Company has the option to extend the
revolving credit term for two one-year periods or to convert outstanding
advances as of the initial expiration date to term loans amortizing over the
subsequent twelve-month period subject to requisite bank syndicate approval. The
new Credit Facility is secured by all assets other than real property of the
Company and its subsidiaries and contains covenants which require, among other
things, the maintenance of a leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio as
well as minimum net worth requirements.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On November 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of."
SFAS No. 144 applies to all long-lived assets (including discontinued
operations) and consequently amends Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of
a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions." SFAS No. 144 develops one accounting model (based on
the model in SFAS No. 121) for long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by
sale, as well as addresses the principal implementation issues. SFAS No. 144
requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be
21
measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. That
requirement eliminates the requirement of APB Opinion No. 30 that discontinued
operations be measured at net realizable value or that entities include under
"discontinued operations" in the financial statements amounts for operating
losses that have not yet occurred. Additionally, SFAS No. 144 expands the scope
of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with
operations that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2)
will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal
transaction. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial position.
On November 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." This Statement eliminates the SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and
Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," requirement that gains and losses from
extinguishment of debt be classified as an extraordinary item, and requires that
such gains and losses be evaluated for extraordinary classification under the
criteria of APB Opinion No. 30. This statement also amends SFAS No. 13,
"Accounting for Leases," to require that certain lease modifications that have
economic effects that are similar to sales-leaseback transactions be accounted
for in the same manner as sales-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also makes
various other technical corrections to existing pronouncements. The adoption of
SFAS No. 145 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial position.
In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on
Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables" (EITF 00-21).
This Issue addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for
arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities.
EITF 00-21 provides guidance to determine how arrangement consideration should
be measured, whether an arrangement should be divided into separate units of
accounting, and how arrangement consideration should be allocated among separate
units of accounting. The provisions of EITF 00-21 are effective for revenue
arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The
Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 00-21 to have a material effect on
its results of operations or financial position.
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others." This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a
guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations
under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor
is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the
fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial
recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation are applicable on
a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.
The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statement
periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted FIN 45 effective as
of its first quarter of fiscal 2003, which did not have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial position. The disclosures made
pursuant to FIN 45 may be found in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.
22
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." This Statement amends SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of
transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method
of accounting for stock-based compensation. It also amends the disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on
reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to
stock-based employee compensation. Finally, SFAS No. 148 amends APB Opinion No.
28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require disclosure about those effects in
interim financial information. The transition guidance and annual disclosure
requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The
interim disclosure requirements are effective for interim periods beginning
after December 15, 2002 and may be found in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.
On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires recognition of a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity at fair value
when the liability is incurred. Previously, a liability for an exit cost was
recognized when the entity committed to an exit plan under EITF Issue No. 94-3.
The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material effect on the Company's
results of operations or financial position, but may affect the timing and
amounts of the recognition of future restructuring costs.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." This Interpretation clarifies the
application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial
Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the
characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient
equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 requires an enterprise
to consolidate a variable interest entity if that enterprise will absorb a
majority of the entity's expected losses, is entitled to receive a majority of
the entity's expected residual returns, or both. FIN 46 also requires
disclosures about unconsolidated variable interest entities in which an
enterprise holds a significant variable interest. FIN 46 is effective for
variable interest entities created or entered into after January 31, 2003. It
applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15,
2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable
interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company does not expect
the adoption of FIN 46 to have a material effect on its results of operations or
financial position.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act) provides a safe
harbor for forward looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The
Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral
statements that are "forward-looking," including statements contained in this
report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in
reports to the Company's shareholders. Management believes that
23
all statements that express expectations and projections with respect to future
matters may differ materially from that discussed as a result of factors,
including, but not limited to, the demand for commercial air travel, the
Company's ability to introduce new products and continue to control costs and
maintain quality, risks inherent in changes in market interest rates, events
such as the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the resulting impact on
commercial airlines and the economy in general, credit risk related to
receivables from customers, product specification costs and requirements,
governmental and regulatory demands, competition on military programs, U.S.
governmental export policies and restrictions, military program funding by U.S.
and non-U.S. government agencies, product pricing levels, the Company's ability
to make acquisitions and achieve operating synergies from acquired businesses,
anticipated trends in our businesses, including trends in the markets for
aircraft engine and aircraft component replacement parts, aircraft engine
overhaul and electronics equipment and airline fleet changes, and economic
conditions within and outside of the aerospace, defense and electronics
industries. For an enterprise such as the Company, a wide range of factors could
materially affect future developments and performance. A list of such factors is
set forth in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
24
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
Substantially all of the Company's borrowings bear interest at floating interest
rates. Based on the outstanding debt balance as of April 30, 2003, a
hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would increase the Company's
interest expense by approximately $109,000 on an annual basis.
25
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
