1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Triumph Group, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

The Company designs, engineers and manufactures products for original equipment manufacturers of aircraft and aircraft components and repairs and overhauls aircraft components and accessories for commercial airline, air cargo carrier and military customers on a worldwide basis.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires companies to measure compensation cost for all share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, using the modified-prospective transition method, beginning on April 1, 2006, and therefore, began to expense the fair value of all outstanding options over their remaining vesting periods to the extent the options were not fully vested as of the adoption date and began to expense the fair value of all options granted subsequent to March 31, 2006 over their requisite service periods. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded $600 and $1,764 of share-based compensation expense. Previous periods have not been restated. (See Note 7 for further details).

RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” This statement amends SFAS Nos. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit plan as an asset or liability in the statement of financial position, and to recognize annual changes in gains or losses, prior service costs, or other credits that have not been recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost, net of tax through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

We are required to apply the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158 and provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The March 31, 2007 funded status of our plans will depend on actual benefits paid, the actual return on our plans’ assets for 2007 and the prevailing interest rates at year-end. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 on our consolidated balance sheets. The measurement provision of SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for its union plans and March 31 for its supplemental executive retirement plan.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN No. 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this interpretation.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets cost and accumulated amortization at December 31, 2006 were $102,105 and $40,278, respectively. Intangible assets cost and accumulated amortization at March 31, 2006 were $83,459 and $34,035, respectively. Intangible assets consist of two major classes: (i) product rights and licenses, which at December 31, 2006 had a weighted-average life of 11.6 years, and (ii) non-compete agreements, customer relationships and other, which at December 31, 2006 had a weighted-average life of 10.7 years. Gross cost and accumulated amortization of product rights and licenses at December 31, 2006 were $69,452 and $29,368, respectively, and at March 31, 2006 were $69,452 and $24,631, respectively. Gross cost and accumulated amortization of noncompete agreements, customer relationships and other at December 31, 2006 were $32,653 and $10,910, respectively, and at March 31, 2006 were $14,007 and $9,404, respectively. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 was $2,269 and $6,243, respectively. Amortization expense for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 and the succeeding five fiscal years by year is expected to be as follows: 2007: $8,516; 2008: $9,055; 2009: $8,816; 2010: $8,625; 2011: $6,801; 2012: $5,258.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year presentation.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Effective April 1, 2006, the Company acquired the assets and business of Excel Manufacturing, Inc., through a newly organized, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Triumph Structures — Wichita, Inc. The acquisition of this business adds a significant new capability to the Company’s Aerospace Systems segment with the acquired company’s high-speed monolithic machining processes. Triumph Structures — Wichita, Inc. specializes in complex, high speed monolithic precision machining, turning, subassemblies and sheet metal fabrication, serving domestic and international aerospace customers.

Effective April 1, 2006 the Company also acquired the assets and business of Air Excellence International, Inc. and its affiliates through two newly organized, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, Triumph Interiors, LLC and Triumph Interiors Limited. The acquisition of this business expands the products and services supplied by our Aftermarket Services segment and allows the Company to provide integrated interior solutions to the airline industry and maintenance service providers. Triumph Interiors, LLC and Triumph Interiors Limited specialize in refurbishing and repairing aircraft interiors such as sidewalls, ceiling panels and overhead storage bins and manufactures a full line of interior lighting and plastic components.

Effective November 1, 2006, the Company acquired Allied Aerospace Industries, Inc. (“Allied”) through the merger of a newly organized, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with and into Allied. The acquired business has since been consolidated into a single subsidiary of the company, Triumph Aerospace Systems — Newport News, Inc. The acquisition of this business allows the Company to meet the growing demand for outsourced technical design and engineering capabilities. Triumph Aerospace Systems — Newport News, Inc. specializes in engineering design and manufacturing solutions for complex aerospace and defense programs.

The acquisitions of the assets and businesses of Excel Manufacturing, Inc., Air Excellence International, Inc. and its affiliates, and Allied Aerospace Industries, Inc. are herein referred to as the “2007 Acquisitions”. The combined purchase price of the 2007 Acquisitions of $93,583 includes cash paid at closing, estimated deferred payments and direct costs of the transactions. The excess of the combined purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair value of the net assets acquired of $48,123 was recorded as goodwill, all of which is tax-deductible. The Company has also identified intangible assets valued at approximately $18,646 comprised of noncompete agreements, customer relationships, and backlog. The Company has recorded its best estimate of the intangibles and property and equipment subject to appraisals; accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price is not complete and is subject to change.

The following condensed balance sheet represents the amounts assigned to each major asset and liability caption in the aggregate for the 2007 Acquisitions:

Accounts receivable	$	12,630
Inventory	10,547
Prepaids and other	816
Property and equipment	17,137
Goodwill	48,123
Intangible assets	18,646
Total assets	$	107,899

Accounts payable	$	8,870
Accrued expenses	7,339
Other current liabilities	476
Other long-term liability	7,756
Total liabilities	$	24,441

These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, are included in the consolidated financial statements from their effective dates of acquisition. These acquisitions were funded by the Company’s long-term borrowings in place at the date of each respective acquisition.

5. LONG TERM DEBT (continued)

Credit Facility

On September 18, 2006, the Company amended its existing amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with its lenders to permit the issuance of up to $202,000 of convertible debt and to revise the definition of consolidated total indebtedness to exclude indebtedness under the senior notes.

On October 20, 2006, the Company amended the Credit Facility with its lenders to increase the Credit Facility to $350,000 from $250,000, extend the maturity date to June 30, 2011 and amend certain other terms and covenants. The Credit Facility bears interest at either (i) LIBOR plus between 0.625% and 2.00% or (ii) the prime rate or (iii) an overnight rate at the option of the company. The applicable interest rate is based upon the Company’s ratio of total indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.175% and 0.400% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility.

On December 22, 2006, the Company amended the Credit Facility with its lenders primarily to eliminate a financial covenant restricting aggregate capital expenditures to 200% of consolidated depreciation expense in any fiscal year. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

On September 18, 2006, the Company issued $201,250 in convertible senior subordinated notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Notes”). The Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the Company, and rank (i) junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) equal in right of payment with any other future senior subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Company entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of September 18, 2006, with The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.

The Company received net proceeds from the sale of the Notes of approximately $195,148 after deducting offering expenses of approximately $6,102. The intended use of the net proceeds from the sale was for prepayment of the Company’s outstanding senior notes, including a make-whole premium, fees and expenses in connection with the prepayment, and to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s Credit Facility. Approximately $6,102 in debt issuance costs have been recorded as other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are being amortized over a period of five years.

The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.625% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1 beginning April 1, 2007. During the period commencing on October 6, 2011 and ending on, but excluding, April 1, 2012 and each six-month period from October 1 to March 31 or from April 1 to September 30 thereafter, the Company will pay contingent interest during the applicable interest period if the average “trading price” (as defined in the Indenture) of a Note for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the first day of the relevant six-month period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the Notes. The contingent interest payable per Note in respect of any six-month period will equal 0.25% per annum calculated on the average trading price of a Note for the relevant five trading day period. This contingent interest feature represents an embedded derivative. Since it is in the control of the Company to call the Notes at any time after October 6, 2011, the value of the derivative was determined to be de minimis. Accordingly, no value has been assigned at issuance or at December 31, 2006.

Triumph Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

The Notes mature on October 1, 2026 unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Company may redeem the Notes for cash, either in whole or in part, anytime on or after October 6, 2011 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, up to but not including the date of redemption. In addition, holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes on October 1, 2011, 2016 and 2021, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, up to, but not including, the date of repurchase. The Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at a rate equal to 18.3655 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $54.45 per share), subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver to the holder surrendering the Notes for conversion, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, an amount consisting of cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 and the Company’s total conversion obligation and, to the extent that the Company’s total conversion obligation exceeds $1,000, at the Company’s election, cash or shares of the Company’s common stock in respect of the remainder.

If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any. The carrying amount of convertible senior subordinated notes approximates fair value.

Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company agreed to file with the SEC no later than the 90th day after the first date of original issuance of the Notes, a shelf registration statement covering resales of the Notes and the common stock issuable on conversion under Rule 415 under the Securities Act. On December 14, 2006, the Company filed, and the SEC declared effective, the shelf registration statement covering resales of the Notes and common stock issuable on conversion under Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

Prepayment of Senior Notes

On October 4, 2006, the Company prepaid all of its outstanding Class A Senior Notes and Class B Senior Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) and, accordingly, the rights of the holders of the Senior Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement, dated November 21, 2002, between the Company and such holders, as amended, ceased. The Senior Notes were prepaid with the proceeds from the Company’s sale of the Notes as discussed above. Immediately prior to prepayment, $68,375 aggregate principal amount of Class A Senior Notes, which carried a fixed rate of interest of 6.06%, were outstanding, and $56,049 aggregate amount of Class B Senior Notes, which carried a fixed rate of interest of 5.59%, were outstanding. If the Company had not prepaid the outstanding Senior Notes, they would have matured on December 2, 2012, subject to a requirement under the Note Purchase Agreement that the Company annually prepay $8,007 of the outstanding Class B notes starting on December 2, 2006. The Senior Notes were senior unsecured obligations of the Company and ranked junior in right of payment to the rights of the Company’s secured creditors to the extent of their security in the Company’s assets, equal in right of payment to the rights of creditors under the Company’s other existing and future unsecured unsubordinated obligations, senior in right of payment to the rights of creditors under obligations expressly subordinated to the Senior Notes, and effectively subordinated to secured and unsecured creditors of the Company’s subsidiaries. The prepayment was made upon proper notice to the holders of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes being prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $2,466, plus a “make whole” premium of approximately $4,395 based on the value of the remaining scheduled interest payments on the Senior Notes being prepaid. The Company expensed the “make whole” premium of $4,395 as well as unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Senior Notes of $693 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

Weighted average common shares outstanding — diluted	16,459	16,052	16,353	16,038

7. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has a number of stock-related compensation plans, including stock option and restricted stock plans, which are described in Note 2 and Note 10 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Through March 31, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock option plans using the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB No. 25”) and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, generally, when the exercise price of the Company’s stock options equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense was recognized. As previously noted, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, using the modified-prospective transition method, beginning on April 1, 2006, and therefore, began to expense the fair value of all outstanding options over their remaining vesting periods to the extent the options were not fully vested as of the adoption date and began to expense the fair value of all options granted subsequent to March 31, 2006 over their requisite service periods.

SFAS No. 123R also requires the benefits of realized tax deductions in excess of previously recognized tax benefits on compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow ($886 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006) rather than an operating cash flow, as previously required. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, the Company classified share-based compensation within selling, general, and administrative expenses to correspond with the same line item as the majority of the cash compensation paid to employees.

7. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)

Employee options and non-employee director options generally vest over a three-year service period. Compensation expense recognized for all option grants is net of estimated forfeitures and is recognized over the awards’ respective requisite service periods. The fair values relating to the option grants were estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors, such as implied market volatility. We used historical exercise data based on the age at grant of the option holder to estimate the options’ expected term, which represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company anticipated the future option holding periods to be similar to the historical option holding periods. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of these awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of these awards.

The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of options granted:

	Nine months ended December 31,
	2005

Weighted average risk-free interest rate	4.0	%

Expected dividend yield	—

Weighted average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock	.42

Weighted average expected life of the options	6 years

Restricted shares generally vest in full after four years. The fair value of restricted shares under the Company’s restricted stock plans is determined by the product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of restricted shares is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of four years.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded $600 and $1,764, respectively, of share-based compensation expense. Total share-based compensation expense was comprised of stock option expense of $168 and $482 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006, respectively, and restricted stock expense of $432 and $1,282 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006, respectively. The Company estimates it will record share-based compensation expense of approximately $2,400 in fiscal 2007. This estimate may be impacted by potential changes to the structure of the Company’s share-based compensation plans which could impact the number of stock options granted in fiscal 2007, changes in valuation assumptions, and changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock, among other things and, as a result, the actual share-based compensation expense in fiscal 2007 may differ from the Company’s current estimate.

9. SEGMENTS

The Company has two reportable segments: Aerospace Systems and Aftermarket Services. The Company’s Aerospace Systems segment consists of 34 operating locations and the Aftermarket Services segment consists of 17 operating locations at December 31, 2006.

The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Company’s operations which manufacture products primarily for the aerospace OEM market. The segment’s operations design and engineer mechanical and electromechanical controls, such as hydraulic systems, main engine gearbox assemblies, accumulators and mechanical control cables. The segment’s revenues are also derived from stretch forming, die forming, milling, bonding, machining, welding and assembly and fabrication of various structural components used in aircraft wings, fuselages and other significant assemblies. Further, the segment’s operations also manufacture metallic and composite bonded honeycomb assemblies for floor panels, fuselages, wings and flight control surface parts. These products are sold to various aerospace OEMs on a global basis.

The Aftermarket Services segment consists of the Company’s operations that provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services to both commercial and military markets on components and accessories manufactured by third parties. Maintenance, repair and overhaul revenues are derived from services on auxiliary power units, aircraft accessories, including constant-speed drives, cabin compressors, starters and generators, and pneumatic drive units. In addition, the segment’s operations repair and overhaul thrust reversers, nacelle components and other aerostructures. The segment’s operations also perform repair and overhaul services, and supply spare parts, for various types of cockpit instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial airlines on a worldwide basis.

Segment operating income is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses identifiable with that segment. Corporate includes general corporate administrative costs and any other costs not identifiable with one of the Company’s segments.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating income of each reportable segment, rather than at the operating location level. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2).

Prior year period segment results have been changed to classify certain revenue and costs from the Aftermarket Services segment to the Aerospace Systems segment for the operations of Triumph Fabrications-Phoenix and Triumph Fabrications-Fort Worth due to the fact that most of their product line has been transitioned to aerospace OEM products. The transitioning of these business units resulted in the shift of approximately $5,609 in revenue and $1,743 in operating loss, previously reported in the Aftermarket Services segment, to the Aerospace Systems segment’s results for the three months ended December 31, 2005, and $15,018 in revenue and $4,303 in operating loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. Segment results have been adjusted to reflect these changes.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In January 2007, the Company acquired the assets and business of Grand Prairie Accessory Services, LLC, through the Company’s subsidiary, Triumph Accessory Services-Grand Prairie, Inc., which is located in Grand Prairie, Texas. Triumph Accessory Services-Grand Prairie provides comprehensive maintenance solutions for engine accessories related to the CF34, CFM56, CF6, CT7 and V2500 family of engines. Capabilities include fuel, oil, pneumatic, hydraulic and mechanical engine accessories for these and other aero and aero-derivative gas turbine engines. The purchase price of approximately $40,060, which was paid in cash at closing, was funded by borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facility.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

(The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein.)

OVERVIEW

We are a major supplier to the aerospace industry and have two operating segments: (i) Triumph Aerospace Systems Group, whose companies design, engineer and manufacture a wide range of proprietary and build to print components, assemblies and systems for the global aerospace OEM market; and (ii) Triumph Aftermarket Services Group, whose companies serve aircraft fleets, notably commercial airlines, the U.S. military and cargo carriers, through the maintenance, repair and overhaul services of aircraft components and accessories manufactured by third parties.

Financial highlights for the third quarter fiscal 2007 include:

· Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 29% to $242.3 million

· Operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 80% to $23.8 million

· Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 16% to $10.8 million

· Backlog increased 29% over prior year to $1.1 billion

For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, net sales totaled $242.3 million, a 29% increase from last year’s third quarter net sales of $187.2 million. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 16% to $10.8 million, or $0.66 per diluted common share, versus $9.3 million, or $0.58 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of the prior year. During the quarter, we generated $15.5 million of cash flow from operating activities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(continued)

Net sales increased by $55.1 million, or 29.4%, to $242.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 from $187.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The acquisitions of the assets and businesses of Excel Manufacturing, Inc., Air Excellence International, Inc. and its affiliates, and Allied Aerospace Industries, Inc. , herein referred to as the “2007 Acquisitions”, contributed $18.8 million of the net sales increase. Excluding the effects of the 2007 Acquisitions, organic sales growth was $36.4 million, or 19.4%.

The Aerospace Systems segment benefited primarily from increased sales to our OEM customers driven by increased aircraft build rates, while the increase in sales for our Aftermarket Services segment was the result of increased demand for our services as a result of growth in global air traffic.

Segment operating income increased by $11.2 million or 64.3%, to $28.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 from $17.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Operating income growth was a direct result of margins attained on increased sales volume as described above and the contribution of $5.3 million from the 2007 Acquisitions, partially offset by increases in payroll, healthcare and costs associated with the startup of our new Thailand maintenance and repair facility.

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 14.5%, to $4.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 from $4.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to recognition of stock-based compensation and increased bonus accruals.

Interest expense and other increased by $0.1 million, or 4.6%, to $3.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 compared to $3.1 million for the prior year period. This increase was due to higher average borrowings outstanding resulting from the 2007 Acquisitions and our capital expenditures, offset by lower interest on our new convertible notes issued on September 18, 2006 as compared to the Class A Senior Notes and Class B Senior Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”).

During the third quarter of fiscal 2007 we recorded a charge for early extinguishment of debt totaling $5.1 million related to the prepayment of the Senior Notes on October 4, 2006, which included a “make whole” premium of approximately $4.4 million and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Senior Notes of $0.7 million.

The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 was 30.1% compared to 7.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The effective tax rates of 30.1% and 7.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, vary from the Federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits realized from export sales and domestic production activities and from the research and development tax credit. Additionally, the third quarter of fiscal 2006 included a $2.0 million reduction of income tax resulting from adjusting the income tax rate at which reversals of temporary differences were taxed.

Business Segment Performance

The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Company’s operations which manufacture products primarily for the aerospace OEM market. The Aerospace Systems operations design and engineer mechanical and electromechanical controls, such as hydraulic systems, main engine gearbox assemblies, accumulators and mechanical control cables. The Aerospace Systems revenues are also derived from stretch forming, die forming, milling, bonding, machining, welding and assembly and fabrication of various structural components used in aircraft wings, fuselages and other significant assemblies. Further, the segment’s operations also manufacture metallic and composite bonded honeycomb assemblies for floor panels, fuselages, wings and flight control surface parts. These products are sold to various aerospace OEMs on a global basis.

Maintenance, repair and overhaul revenues are derived from services on auxiliary power units, aircraft accessories, including constant-speed drives, cabin compressors, starters and generators, and pneumatic drive units. In addition, the Aftermarket Services operations repair and overhaul thrust reversers, nacelle components and other aerostructures. The Aftermarket Services operations also perform repair and overhaul services, and supply spare parts, for various types of cockpit instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial airlines on a worldwide basis.

Prior year period segment results have been changed to classify certain revenue and costs from the Aftermarket Services segment to the Aerospace Systems segment for the operations of Triumph Fabrications-Phoenix and Triumph Fabrications-Fort Worth as most of their product line has been transitioned to aerospace OEM products. The transitioning of these business units resulted in the shift of approximately $5.6 million in revenue and $1.7 million in operating loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, previously reported in the Aftermarket Services segment, to the Aerospace Systems segment. Segment results have been adjusted to reflect these changes.

Aerospace Systems: The Aerospace Systems segment net sales increased by $42.9 million, or 29.1%, to $190.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 from $147.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to increased sales to our OEM customers driven by increased aircraft build rates and the net sales contributed from the acquisition of the assets and business of Excel Manufacturing, Inc. (now Triumph Structures-Wichita) and Allied Aerospace Industries, Inc. (now Triumph Aerospace Systems — Newport News).

Aerospace Systems segment operating income increased by $10.0 million, or 63.7%, to $25.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 from $15.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Operating income increased primarily due to margins attained on increased sales volume and the margins contributed from the Triumph Structures-Wichita and Triumph Aerospace Systems — Newport News acquisitions, partially offset by increases in payroll, healthcare and research and development costs.

Aftermarket Services: The Aftermarket Services segment net sales increased by $11.8 million, or 28.9%, to $52.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 from $40.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to global air traffic growth, resulting in increased demand for our repair and overhaul services and the net sales contributed from the acquisition of the assets and business of Air Excellence International, Inc. and its affiliates (now Triumph Interiors).

Aftermarket Services segment operating income increased by $1.1 million, or 70.0%, to $2.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 from $1.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Operating income increased primarily due to margins attained on increased sales volume and the contribution from the acquisition of Triumph Interiors partially offset by increases in payroll, healthcare and costs associated with the start up of our new Thailand maintenance and repair facility.

Net sales increased by $142.7 million, or 26.0%, to $691.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 from $548.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. The 2007 Acquisitions contributed $44.4 million. Excluding the effects of the 2007 Acquisitions, organic sales growth was $98.4 million, or 17.9%.

Segment operating income increased by $27.2 million or 53.5%, to $78.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 from $50.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. Operating income growth was a direct result of margins attained on increased sales volume as described above and the contribution of $13.1 million from the 2007 Acquisitions, partially offset by increases in payroll, healthcare, litigation and costs associated with the startup of our new Thailand maintenance and repair facility.

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $2.0 million, or 18.9%, to $12.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 from $10.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to recognition of stock-based compensation and increased bonus accruals partially offset by decreased regulatory costs.

Interest expense and other increased by $1.3 million, or 13.8%, to $10.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $9.4 million for the prior year period. This increase was due to higher average borrowings outstanding resulting from the 2007 Acquisitions and our capital expenditures, offset by lower interest on the convertible debt as compared to the Senior Notes and lower imputed interest related to our CFM56 Program.

The effective income tax rate was 33.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 23.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. The effective tax rates of 33.7% and 23.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, vary from the Federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits realized from export sales and domestic production activities and from the research and development tax credit. Additionally, the third quarter of fiscal 2006 included a $2.0 million reduction of income tax resulting from adjusting the income tax rate at which reversals of temporary differences were taxed.

Prior year period segment results have been changed to classify certain revenue and costs from the Aftermarket Services segment to the Aerospace Systems segment for the operations of Triumph Fabrications-Phoenix and Triumph Fabrications-Fort Worth as most of their product line has been transitioned to aerospace OEM products. The transitioning of these business units resulted in the shift of approximately $15.0 million in revenue and $4.3 million in operating loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, previously reported in the Aftermarket Services segment, to the Aerospace Systems segment. Segment results have been adjusted to reflect these changes.

Aerospace Systems: The Aerospace Systems segment net sales increased by $112.9 million, or 26.2%, to $544.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 from $431.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to increased sales to our OEM customers driven by increased aircraft build rates and the net sales contributed from the acquisition of the assets and businesses of Excel Manufacturing, Inc. (now Triumph Structures-Wichita) and Allied Aerospace Industries, Inc. (now Triumph Aerospace Systems — Newport News).

Aerospace Systems segment operating income increased by $24.8 million, or 53.2%, to $71.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 from $46.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. Operating income increased primarily due to margins attained on increased sales volume and the margins contributed from the Triumph Structures-Wichita and Triumph Aerospace Systems — Newport News acquisitions, partially offset by increases in payroll, healthcare and litigation costs.

Aftermarket Services: The Aftermarket Services segment net sales increased by $29.1 million, or 24.3%, to $149.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 from $120.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to global air traffic growth, resulting in increased demand for our repair and overhaul services and the net sales contributed from the acquisition of the assets and business of Air Excellence International, Inc. and its affiliates (now Triumph Interiors).

Aftermarket Services segment operating income increased by $2.4 million, or 56.7%, to $6.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 from $4.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. Operating income increased primarily due to margins attained on increased sales volume and the contribution from the acquisition of Triumph Interiors partially offset by increases in payroll, healthcare and costs associated with the start up of our new Thailand maintenance and repair facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital needs are generally funded through cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit arrangements. During the nine months ended December 31, 2006, we generated approximately $20.7 million of cash flows from operating activities, used approximately $134.4 million in investing activities and generated approximately $117.1 million in financing activities.

In April 2006, the Company acquired the assets and business of Excel Manufacturing, Inc., located in Wichita, KS. In April 2006, the Company also acquired the assets and business of Air Excellence International, Inc. and its affiliates which is headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, and operates three other strategically located facilities: Dallas, TX, Portland, OR and Shannon, Ireland. In November 2006, the Company acquired Allied Aerospace Industries, Inc. located in Newport News, VA. The total cash paid at these closings of approximately $83.5 million was funded by borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

On September 18, 2006, the Company amended its existing amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with its lenders to permit the issuance of up to $202.0 million of convertible debt and to revise the definition of consolidated total indebtedness to exclude indebtedness under the senior notes.

On September 18, 2006, the Company issued $201.3 million in convertible senior subordinated notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Notes”). The Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the Company, and rank (i) junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) equal in right of payment with any other future senior subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Company entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of September 18, 2006, with The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.

The Company received net proceeds from the sale of the Notes of approximately $195.1 million after deducting estimated offering expenses of approximately $6.1 million. The intended use of the net proceeds from the sale was for prepayment of the Company’s outstanding Senior Notes, including a make-whole premium, fees and expenses in connection with the prepayment, and to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s credit facility. Approximately $6.1 million in debt issuance costs have been recorded as other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are being amortized over a period of five years.

The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.625% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1 beginning April 1, 2007. During the period commencing on October 6, 2011 and ending on, but excluding, April 1, 2012 and each six-month period from October 1 to March 31 or from April 1 to September 30 thereafter, the Company will pay contingent interest during the applicable interest period if the average “trading price” (as defined in the Indenture) of a Note for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the first day of the relevant six-month period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the Notes. The contingent interest payable per Note in respect of any six-month period will equal 0.25% per annum calculated on the average trading price of a Note for the relevant five trading day period. This contingent interest feature represents an embedded derivative. Since it is in the control of the Company to call the Notes at any time after October 6, 2011, the value of the embedded derivative was determined to be de minimis. Accordingly, no value has been assigned at issuance or at December 31, 2006.

On October 4, 2006, the Company prepaid all of its outstanding Senior Notes and, accordingly, the rights of the holders of the Senior Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement, dated November 21, 2002, between the Company and such holders, as amended, ceased. Immediately prior to prepayment, $68.4 million aggregate principal amount of Class A Senior Notes, which carried a fixed rate of interest of 6.06%, were outstanding, and $56.0 million aggregate amount of Class B Senior Notes, which carried a fixed rate of interest of 5.59%, were outstanding. If the Company had not prepaid the outstanding Senior Notes, they would have matured on December 2, 2012, subject to a requirement under the Note Purchase Agreement that the Company annually prepay $8.0 million of the outstanding Class B notes starting on December 2, 2006. The Senior Notes were senior unsecured obligations of the Company and ranked junior in right of payment to the rights of the Company’s secured creditors to the extent of their security in the Company’s assets, equal in right of payment to the rights of creditors under the Company’s other existing and future unsecured unsubordinated obligations, senior in right of payment to the rights of creditors under obligations expressly subordinated to the Senior Notes, and effectively subordinated to secured and unsecured creditors of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The prepayment was made upon proper notice to the holders of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes being prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $2.5 million, plus a “make whole” premium of approximately $4.4 million based on the value of the remaining scheduled interest payments on the Senior Notes being prepaid. The Company expensed the “make whole” premium of $4.4 million as well as unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Senior Notes of $0.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

On October 20, 2006, the Company amended the Credit Facility with its lenders to increase the Credit Facility to $350.0 million from $250.0 million, extend the maturity date to June 30, 2011 and amend certain other terms and covenants. The Credit Facility bears interest at either (i) LIBOR plus between 0.625% and 2.00% or (ii) the prime rate or (iii) an overnight rate at the option of the Company. The applicable interest rate is based upon the Company’s ratio of total indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.175% and 0.400% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. On December 22, 2006, the Company amended the Credit Facility with its lenders primarily to eliminate a financial covenant restricting aggregate capital expenditures to 200% of consolidated depreciation expense in any fiscal year. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company acquired the assets and business of Grand Prairie Accessory Services, LLC, located in Grand Prairie, Texas. The total cash paid at closing of approximately $40.1 million was funded by borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Capital expenditures were approximately $40.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 primarily for manufacturing machinery and equipment. We funded these expenditures through borrowings under our Credit Facility. We expect capital expenditures to be up to $55.0 million for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2007. The expenditures are expected to be used mainly to expand capacity or replace old equipment at several facilities.

The expected future cash flows for the next five years for long term debt, leases and other obligations are as follows:

Contractual Obligations	Payments Due by Period (in thousands)
	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		After 5 years
Debt Principal (1)	$	279,690	$	5,572	$	155	$	67,084	$	206,879
Debt-Interest (2)	26,601		5,473		10,564		10,564		0
Operating Leases	72,048		15,537		25,604		13,708		17,199
Purchase Obligations	232,313		174,847		54,559		2,873		34
Other Long Term Obligations (1) (3)	5,932		5,927		5		0		0
Total	$	616,584	$	207,356	$	90,887	$	94,229	$	224,112

(1) Included in the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2006.

(2) Includes fixed-rate interest only.

(3) Includes interest component.

We believe that cash generated by operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for our current operations. However, we have a stated policy to grow through acquisition and are continuously evaluating various acquisition opportunities. As a result, we currently are pursuing the potential purchase of a number of candidates. In the event that more than one of these transactions are successfully consummated, the availability under the Credit Facility might be fully utilized and additional funding sources may be needed. There can be no assurance that such funding sources will be available to us on terms favorable to us, if at all.

Except as otherwise disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report, there were no material changes subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 in the Company’s critical accounting policies or in the assumptions or estimates used to prepare the financial information appearing in this report.

Forward Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to our future operations and prospects, including statements that are based on current projections and expectations about the markets in which we operate, and our beliefs concerning future performance and capital requirements based upon current available information. Such statements are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us. When used in this document, words like “may”, “might”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “potential”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from our current expectations. For example, there can be no assurance that additional capital will not be required or that additional capital, if required, will be available on reasonable terms, if at all, at such times and in such amounts as may be needed by us. In addition to these factors, among other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are uncertainties relating to the integration of acquired businesses, general economic conditions affecting our business, dependence of certain of our businesses on certain key customers as well as competitive factors relating to the aviation industry.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
