BUSINESS The term "Registrant" as used in this Annual Report refers to EDO Corporation. The term "Company" as used in this Annual Report, except where the context otherwise requires, includes the Registrant and its subsidiaries. EDO Corporation was incorporated in New York in 1925 by Earl Dodge Osborn, from whose initials "EDO" is derived. The Company designs and manufactures advanced electro-optical, electronic, mechanical, acoustic and composite products for the defense and aerospace industries. A description of the principal products of the Company is set forth below. In 1996, the Company sold its general aviation floats business and announced the discontinuance of its energy-related businesses. Further information about the discontinuance of the energy-related businesses is provided in "Discontinued Operations" on pages 2 and 3, and in Note 3 on page 19 of this Report. In 1997, the Company also discontinued certain of its instrument product lines. Refer to the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" on pages 10 through 12, and Note 18 on page 25 of this Report for information regarding the cost of compliance with environmental regulations. The following discussion relates to the Company's continuing operations. MARINE AND AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS Marine and aircraft systems include the design, development and manufacture of sophisticated mechanical, electromechanical, structural, hydrodynamic and aerodynamic systems for military use. Additionally, the Company provides logistics support for such products following initial hardware deliveries including spare and repair parts, upgrade modifications, training and technical services. The revenue from these support functions is a significant portion of sales. The major marine and aircraft systems are aircraft stores suspension and release equipment and airborne mine countermeasures systems. Aircraft Stores Suspension and Release Equipment The Company developed and manufactures bomb release units (BRU) for the U.S. Air Force F-15E, ejection release units (ERU) for the Tornado Multirole Combat Aircraft and jettison release mechanisms (JRM) for the U.S. Navy F-14 aircraft. In 1997, the Company continued production of BRUs for the F-15E and for an international customer under prior orders received and new orders received in 1997, and provided spare parts support for Tornado ERUs previously produced. In addition, the Company continued the development of the Advanced Medium Range Air To Air Missile (AMRAAM) launcher for the F-22 air superiority fighter. Funded development for this missile launcher, which employs new internal carriage technology, is expected to continue throughout 1998. In 1997, the Company received a subcontract from Boeing for development of new weapons carriage technology for application to the Joint Strike Fighter and future aircraft. This effort is expected to continue throughout 1998. For 1997, 1996 and 1995, sales of aircraft stores suspension and release equipment represented 19% of consolidated net sales in all three years. Airborne Mine Countermeasures Systems The Company is the only manufacturer of the MK 105 helicopter-towed magnetic minesweeping system designed and developed by the Company in conjunction with the U.S. Navy. In 1994, the Company completed development of a funded upgrade to the MK 105. The upgraded system was delivered to the U.S. Navy for testing and evaluation. These tests were completed in the first half of 1995. The first production contract for this upgrade was received at the end of 1995. An additional production contract was received in 1996. Production under this contract is expected to continue throughout 1998. In 1994, the Company began work on a new U.S. Navy funded contract to develop a lightweight, self contained, helicopter-towed magnetic sweep for shallow water applications. This system underwent U.S. Navy testing and evaluation in 1996 and was used in fleet and NATO operations in 1997. In addition, the Company continued to provide logistic support for MK 105 systems previously provided to both the U.S. Navy and an international customer. For 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, sales of airborne mine countermeasures systems represented 12%, 7% and 5% of consolidated net sales. COMBAT SYSTEMS Combat systems include the design, development and manufacture of command, control and communications systems, and undersea warfare systems. In addition, the Company provides logistics support including spare and repair parts, training and technical services for such products. Page 1 Command and Control Systems Command, control and communication systems include integrated command systems, tactical data links, display consoles and communication control and monitoring systems for domestic and international customers. In 1997, the Company delivered a tactical data link monitoring and test system to the Royal Australian Air Force. Work continued on the NATO Ship-Shore-Ship Buffer (SSSB) program deliverable to several international customers in 1998 and 1999. Additional SSSB orders were received in 1997 from other NATO international customers. Undersea Warfare Sonar The Company has been a supplier of undersea warfare systems for more than forty years. In 1997, the Company completed and delivered a major signal processing subsystem of an upgrade to the U.S. Navy's AN/SQQ-89 undersea warfare system to Northrop-Grumman and Lockheed Martin. Logistics, maintenance and training support was provided for EDO sonar systems installed in FF-1052 class ships in service for several international navies. Work continued in 1997 for an international customer on a major upgrade to the EDO Model 610E sonar system. Work under this contract is expected to continue for five years. In 1997, the Company received an order for an additional Model 610E upgraded sonar system for a new class of ship for this same international customer. For 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively, sales of sonar systems represented 7%, 3% and 10% of consolidated net sales. ELECTRO-OPTIC SYSTEMS Electro-optic systems include the design, development and manufacture of products and systems for satellites. The primary products include infrared earth sensors and sun sensors which are used to provide satellites with information relative to stabilization and orbit position. In 1997, the Company continued to provide earth sensor assemblies to Hughes for commercial satellites, to Orbital Sciences Corporation for the ORBCOMM digital data transmission system and to Lockheed Martin for the U.S. Air Force Global Positioning Satellite System (GPS-IIR), the NASA Television and Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS) and the Motorola Iridium communication satellite constellation. In addition, the Company began delivering earth sensor assemblies to Hughes for the ICO constellation and earth and sun sensor assemblies to DASA for the Loral Globalstar constellation. New orders were received for earth sensor assemblies from Boeing for the newest U.S. Air Force Global Positioning Satellite System (GPS-IIF) and for follow-on orders for additional sensors for Iridium and Globalstar. For 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, sales of spaceflight systems represented 22%, 24% and 14% of consolidated net sales. ELECTRO-CERAMIC PRODUCTS The Company is one of North America's leading manufacturers of piezoceramic components for defense applications and also concentrates on commercial applications of ceramic technology. Piezoceramic elements convert acoustic energy to electrical energy and form the basis of many defense and commercial products ranging from military sonars to ink jet printers. The Company has automated and improved its production processes and is focusing its efforts on industrial markets in addition to maintaining its position as a leading supplier of ceramics for military applications. For 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, sales of piezoceramics represented 13%, 11% and 10% of consolidated net sales. The Company also designs and produces military and commercial transducers which it provides for its own acoustic systems as well as for the market. The Company is developing products for the active vibration control marketplace. This initiative is intended to apply the Company's expertise in piezoceramic materials and transducers to reduce vibration emanating from industrial machinery. The Company has been working on a partially government funded program for vibration reduction in precision machine tools, specifically cylindrical grinders. In addition, the Company is delivering products it designed and manufactured to reduce vibration in the manufacturing process for semiconductors. FIBER COMPOSITE PRODUCTS The Company's fiber composite products focus on the development, production and after-market support of its traditional composite water and waste tanks for the commercial aviation market. This concentrated technical and marketing effort yielded long-term production contracts from Boeing. Additionally, the Company continues to pursue programs in other commercial markets. The Company is now supplying composite pressure vessels for use as air start reservoirs on large trucks. Composite pressure vessels are also being developed and tested for use in railroad car rapid discharge and braking systems. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The Company's former energy-related businesses consisted of the following: its wholly-owned subsidiary EDO Energy Corporation, which provided program Page 2 management activities for compressed natural gas vehicles (CNGVs) and other alternative fuel projects; its wholly-owned subsidiary EDO Automotive Natural Gas, Inc. ("EDO ANGI"), which designed and manufactured CNGV refueling stations and related equipment; and a 50.4% interest in EDO (Canada) Ltd. ("ECL"), which designed and manufactured LiteRider(R) fuel cylinders. The products of these businesses were generally sold through independent distributors and dealers to end users, and by employees of these businesses to original equipment manufacturers. Due to the current and projected growth rates and financial returns of the energy-related businesses failing to meet the Company's strategic criteria, the Company decided in September 1996 to divest itself from these businesses. Accordingly, in 1996, the Company recorded a provision for loss of $7,000,000, consisting of $2,000,000 in operating losses for the phase out period, and $5,000,000 for reduction of asset values and provisions for estimated future disposal costs. In 1997, the Company sold the net assets of its EDO-ANGI subsidiary. The EDO Energy operations were mostly discontinued. The Company continues only to fulfill any outstanding contractual obligations. In 1997, ECL made a voluntary assignment in bankruptcy pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act of Canada and subsequently liquidated its assets through the equivalent of Chapter 7 of the U.S. bankruptcy laws. The Company believes that adequate provision for the ultimate loss on disposal of these businesses has been made in the Company's financial statements, which provision is described in Note 3 on page 19 of this Report. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development, performed both under development contracts with customers and at Company expense, are important factors in the Company's business. The Company's research and development efforts involve approximately 90 employees in the fields of combat systems, acoustic, electronic, hydrodynamic, aerodynamic, structural and material engineering. Research and development programs are designed to develop technology for new products or to extend the capability of existing products and to assess their commercial potential. Customer-sponsored research and development programs are principally related to military programs. Major customer-sponsored research and development programs include: improvements to the AN/SQR-18A(V) TACTAS system; improvements to the MK 105 mine countermeasures system; development of a new shallow-water mine countermeasures system; development of new aircraft weapons carriage technology; developments in combat systems integration; development of new and improved stores launchers; and development of new earth and sun sensors for satellites. Expenditures under development contracts with customers vary in amount from year to year because of the timing of contract funding and other factors. In 1997, customer-sponsored research and development expenditures in the aggregate were 29% higher than in 1996, although such expenditures for certain products were lower than in 1996. Company-sponsored research and development has contributed to a number of advances in sonar systems, transducers, stores release systems, mine countermeasures systems, digital data links, filament-wound structures, and composite pressure vessels. Principal current research and development involves: image and signal processing and other improvements for combat systems, improvements to minesweeping technology, continued development of satellite-based sensors, the application of its acoustic and ceramic technologies to vibration control, and development of composite pressure vessels for the truck and train markets. The following table sets forth research and development expenditures for the periods presented. ======================================================================== Year Ended December 31, 1997 1996 1995 (in thousands) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Customer-sponsored $ 23,000 $ 17,800 $ 13,300 Company-sponsored 2,100 1,000 1,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total $ 25,100 $ 18,800 $ 14,300 ======================================================================== MARKETING AND INTERNATIONAL SALES Military sales of the Company's products to both the U.S. and foreign governments are usually made under negotiated long-term contracts or subcontracts covering one or more years of production. The Company believes that its long history of association with its military customers is an important factor in the Company's overall business, and that the experience gained through this history has enhanced the Company's ability to anticipate its customers' needs. The Company's approach to its military business is to anticipate specific customer needs and to develop systems to meet those needs either at its own expense or pursuant to research and development contracts. The Company sells military and space flight products as a prime contractor and through subcontracts with other prime contractors. In addition to military Page 3 sales to the U.S. Department of Defense, the Company also sells military and space flight equipment to the U.S. Government for resale to foreign governments under the Foreign Military Sales program and, subject to approval by the U.S. Department of State, directly to foreign governments. Commercial products are sold in industrial and commercial markets. In foreign markets, piezoelectric and electronic products are generally sold commercially through a network of sales representatives. Fiber-reinforced composite products are sold, in certain product areas, on a direct basis and, in other product areas, through sales representatives. It is the Company's policy to denominate all foreign contracts in U.S. dollars and generally to incur no significant costs in connection with long-term foreign contracts until the Company has received advance payments or letters of credit on amounts due under the contracts. Refer to Note 1(a) on page 17 of this Report for the amount of export sales for the last three fiscal years. BACKLOG A significant portion of the Company's sales are made directly or indirectly through prime contractors to the U.S. armed services and foreign governments pursuant to long-term contracts. Accordingly, the Company's backlog of unfilled orders consists in large part of orders under these government contracts. As of December 31, 1997, the Company's total backlog was approximately $111.6 million, as compared with $103.0 million on December 31, 1996. Of the total backlog as of December 31, 1997, approximately 65% was scheduled for delivery in 1998. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS Sales to the U.S. Government, as a prime contractor and through subcontracts with other prime contractors, accounted for 41% of the Company's 1997 consolidated net sales compared with 36% in 1996 and 43% in 1995, and consisted primarily of sales to the Department of Defense. Such sales do not include sales of military equipment to the U.S. Government for resale to foreign governments under the Foreign Military Sales program. The Company's military business can be and has been significantly affected by changes in national defense policy and spending. The Company's U.S. Government contracts and subcontracts and certain foreign government contracts contain the usual required provisions permitting termination at any time for the convenience of the government with payment for work completed and committed along with associated profit at the time of termination. The Company's contracts with the Department of Defense consist of fixed price contracts, cost-reimbursable contracts and incentive contracts of both types. Fixed-price contracts provide fixed compensation for specified work. Cost-reimbursable contracts require the Company to perform specified work in return for reimbursement of costs (to the extent allowable under government regulations) and a specified fee. In general, while the risk of loss is greater under fixed-price contracts than under cost-reimbursable contracts, the potential for profit under such contracts is greater than under cost-reimbursable contracts. Under both fixed-price incentive contracts and cost-reimbursable incentive contracts, an incentive adjustment is made in the Company's fee based on attainment of scheduling, cost, quality or other goals. The distribution of the Company's government contracts among the categories of contracts referred to above varies from time to time, although in recent years only a small percentage of the Company's contracts have been on a cost-reimbursable or incentive basis. COMPETITION AND OTHER FACTORS Some of the Company's products are sold in markets containing a number of competitors substantially larger than the Company and with greater financial resources. Direct sales of military products to U.S. and foreign governments are based principally on product performance and reliability. Such products are generally sold in competition with products of other manufacturers that may fulfill an equivalent function, but which are not direct substitutes. The Company purchases certain materials and components used in its systems and equipment from independent suppliers. These materials and components are normally not purchased under long-term contracts unless the Company has actually received a long-term sales contract requiring them. The Company believes that most of the items it purchases are obtainable from a variety of suppliers and it normally obtains alternative sources for major items, although the Company is sometimes dependent on a single supplier or a few suppliers for some items. It is difficult to state precisely the Company's market position in all of its market segments because information as to the volume of sales of similar products by its competitors is not generally available and the relevant markets are often not precisely defined. However, the Company believes that it is a significant factor in the markets for stores release mechanisms for military aircraft, military sonar systems, military data links, helicopter-towed mine countermeasures Page 4 systems, piezoelectric ceramics, and satellite attitude and position sensors. Although the Company owns some patents and has filed applications for additional patents, it does not believe that its businesses depend significantly upon its patents. In addition, most of the Company's U.S. Government contracts license it to use patents owned by others. Similar provisions in the U.S. Government contracts awarded to other companies make it impossible for the Company to prevent the use by other companies of its patents in most domestic defense work. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 1997, the Company employed 637 persons.

Page 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT EDO Corporation's financial results continued to improve in 1997 due to the continuing focus on its core operations. This has resulted in the third straight year of increased earnings and a year-end backlog that is the highest since 1991. This increase in year-end backlog reflects both the strength of the Company's core products and the Company's ability to provide new products to meet the needs of its customers in an increasingly competitive environment. The Company's overall financial condition also continued to improve as evidenced by increases in cash and marketable securities, working capital and shareholders' equity, and a decrease in leverage ratios. In 1997, the Company substantially completed the exit from its energy-related businesses, which had been accounted for as discontinued operations, substantially in accordance with the provision recorded in 1996. This is more fully explained in the accompanying financial statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1997 COMPARED TO 1996 Net sales for 1997 were $94.4 million compared to sales of $94.6 million in 1996. Sales increases from mine countermeasures systems and sonar systems were offset by decreases in satellite system sales. Total operating earnings improved 11% to $7.5 million compared to $6.8 million in 1996, excluding the effect of a $7.1 million non-cash curtailment gain from the discontinuance of medical benefits for Medicare eligible retirees in 1996. The increased operating earnings result from improvements in margins in substantially all of the Company's product lines. The Company's operating results for 1997 were adversely affected by a charge of $2.0 million associated with the consolidation and discontinuance of certain acoustic instrument products as described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, the Company incurred operating and disposal losses of approximately $0.6 million from the sale of a microscope product line. The decision to exit these product lines is consistent with the Company's objective of focusing its efforts on its core defense and aerospace products. In 1997, the Company settled an insurance action against one of its insurance carriers for $2.9 million which was paid to the Company in 1998. This action was related to an environmental matter which is more fully explained in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $13.8 million in 1997 from $15.6 million in 1996 primarily due to decreased costs in connection with certain electro-optic products resulting from the decrease in satellite system sales and the sale of the microscope product line noted above. Company-sponsored research and development expenditures doubled in 1997 to $2.1 million from $1.0 million in 1996. This increased level of research and development is consistent with the Company's strategy of increased investment in development for products that will contribute to future growth. Customer-sponsored research and development was $23.0 million compared to $17.8 million in 1996. Customer-sponsored research and development is included in cost of sales and represents the engineering development portion of programs where new products are being developed or technologies are being advanced. Interest expense, net of interest income, was $0.5 million in 1997 compared to $0.8 million in 1996 due to increased interest income on higher average balances of interest-earning assets. Interest expense is primarily the interest paid on the 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2011. In 1997 and 1996, the Company did not have a provision for Federal income taxes due to the utilization of tax loss carryforwards. Net earnings available for common shares in 1997 were $5.9 million compared to net earnings in 1996 of $3.3 million. Net earnings in 1996 included a $7.0 million loss from the discontinuance of the Company's energy-related businesses (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and a $7.1 million curtailment gain (see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Basic net earnings per share were $0.94 in 1997 compared to $0.54 in 1996. Basic net earnings per share calculations are based on a weighted average of 6.3 million and 6.0 million common shares outstanding in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Diluted earnings per share were $0.81 in 1997 compared to $0.46 in 1996. Page 10 FINANCIAL CONDITION The Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased by $13.5 million in 1997 to $34.2 million at December 31, 1997. This resulted from an improvement in cash flow from operations which was $17.6 million in 1997 compared to $2.6 million in 1996. This improvement was due primarily to an increase in contract advances and the absence of an increase in accounts receivable in 1997, as well as improved operating profits, excluding the postretirement health care curtailment gain in 1996. The Company has outstanding $29.3 million of 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2011. Commencing in 1996 and until their retirement, the Company is making annual sinking fund payments of $1.8 million. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had $2.2 million of these debentures remaining in treasury to be used for these annual requirements. The Company also has an ESOT loan obligation with a balance at December 31, 1997 of $10.4 million at an interest rate of 82% of the prime lending rate. The ESOT obligation agreement can be canceled or refinanced by the Company or the lender on or after April 1, 2000. The repayment of this obligation is funded through dividends on the Company's preferred shares and cash contributions. The Company maintains a $15.0 million secured line of credit with a bank for short-term borrowing and letters of credit. The agreement expires on June 30, 1998 and limits the cash portion of potential borrowings to $10.0 million. There have been no direct cash borrowings under this agreement. The Company is incurring costs in connection with the remediation of a Superfund site (noted above and more fully explained in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company has expensed all of the costs it has incurred, as well as a discounted estimate of all future costs related to this matter. The liability for these future costs as of December 31, 1997 is approximately $3.5 million of which $0.6 million is classified as a current liability. Approximately 26% of the $3.5 million liability will be expended over the next 2 years. The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity and sufficient capital to fund its current operating plans. Backlog increased from $103.0 million at December 31, 1996 to $111.6 million at December 31, 1997. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1996 COMPARED TO 1995 Net sales for 1996 were $94.6 million, a 20% increase compared to sales of $78.9 million in 1995. Increases in sales of satellite systems and piezo-ceramic and fiber composite products were partially offset by reductions in sales of sonar systems and acoustic products. Operating earnings, excluding the effect of a $7.1 million non-cash curtailment gain from the discontinuance of medical benefits for Medicare eligible retirees (see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), improved 26% to $6.8 million in 1996, compared to $5.4 million in 1995. The increase resulted primarily from the higher sales levels as well as a modest improvement in margins and increases in pension and postretirement benefit income, partially offset by higher costs incurred during the completion of the development portion of fixed-price development programs for new satellite products. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $15.6 million from $14.2 million in 1995 principally as a result of increased sales and marketing expenses. Company funded research and development expenditures were approximately $1.0 million for each year while customer funded research and development increased $4.5 million to $17.8 million in 1996. Customer funded research and development is included in cost of sales and represents the engineering development portion of programs where new products are being developed or technologies are being advanced. Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased 33% to $0.8 million from $1.2 million in 1995, primarily due to increased interest income on higher average balances of interest-earning assets. Interest expense primarily represents the interest paid on the 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2011. In 1996, the Company did not have a provision for Federal income taxes due to the utilization of tax loss carryforwards and tax benefits associated with the preferred stock dividends. Net earnings in 1996 were $3.3 million compared to net earnings in 1995 of $1.4 million. Net earnings in 1996 included a $7.0 million loss from the discontinuance of the Company's energy-related businesses (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and, as noted above, a $7.1 million curtailment gain. Basic net earnings per share were $0.54 as compared to $0.25 in 1995. Basic net earnings per share calculations are based on a weighted average of 6.0 million and 5.7 million common shares outstanding in 1996 and 1995, respectively. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective Page 11 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments, and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company has not determined the impact that the adoption of this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures. The Company will adopt this statement effective January 1, 1998, as required. Interim information is not required until the second year of application, at which time comparative information is required. YEAR 2000 DATE CONVERSION The year 2000 issue affects computer systems that have time-sensitive programs that may not properly recognize the year 2000. At the Company, this could result in failures or miscalculations in the computerized accounting programs used at the Company which are provided by outside vendors. These vendors have assured the Company that modifications to their programs will be timely provided to deal with the year 2000 issue. If necessary modifications and conversions by such vendors are not provided timely, the year 2000 issue may have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations. The total cost associated with required modifications and conversions is not expected to be material to the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position and is being expensed as incurred. COMMON SHARE PRICES EDO common shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. As of February 2, 1998, there were 2,495 shareholders of record (brokers and nominees counted as one each). The price range in 1997 and 1996 was as follows: =================================================== 1997 1996 High Low High Low --------------------------------------------------- 1st Quarter 7-7/8 6-3/8 5-7/8 4-5/8 2nd Quarter 8-15/16 6-3/8 10-7/8 5 3rd Quarter 10-3/4 7-5/8 8-5/8 5-7/8 4th Quarter 10-5/8 8-1/4 9-1/4 6-1/2 =================================================== Dividends During 1997, the Board of Directors approved the payment of quarterly cash dividends of $0.025 per common share. The Company's ESOT guarantee agreement places certain limits on the payment of cash dividends. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. "Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 The statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the message from the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders for 1997 relating to plans, strategies, economic performance and trends and other statements that are not descriptions of historical facts may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, which include, but are not limited to the following for each of the types of information noted. U.S. and international military program sales, follow-on procurement, contract continuance, and future program awards, upgrades and spares support are subject to: U.S. and international military budget constraints and determinations; U.S. congressional and international legislative body discretion; U.S. and international government administration policies and priorities; changing world military threats, strategies and missions; competition from foreign manufacturers of platforms and equipment; NATO country determinations regarding participation in common programs; changes in U.S. and international government procurement timing, strategies and practices; and the general state of world military readiness and deployment. Achievement of margins on sales, earnings and cash flow can be affected by unanticipated technical problems, government termination of contracts for convenience, decline in expected levels of revenues and underestimation of anticipated costs on specific programs. The Company has no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Page 16 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995 EDO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Principles of Consolidation and Business The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EDO Corporation and all majority-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates in one segment and designs and manufactures advanced electro-optical, electronic, mechanical, acoustic and composite products for the defense and aerospace industries. Domestic government sales, which include sales to prime contractors of the government, amounted to 41%, 36% and 43% of net sales, and export sales comprised 33%, 35% and 31% of net sales for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company discontinued its energy-related business in 1996 (Note 3). (b) Cash Equivalents The Company considers all securities with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. (c) Marketable Securities The Company's marketable securities, consisting of U.S. government-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds, are categorized as available-for-sale. The securities have been reflected at cost, which approximates market value at December 31, 1997. (d) Revenue Recognition Sales under long-term, fixed price contracts, including pro-rata profits, are generally recorded based on the relationship of costs incurred to date to total projected final costs or, alternatively, as deliveries are made. Estimated losses on long-term contracts are recorded when identified. Sales under cost reimbursement contracts are recorded as costs are incurred. Sales on other than long-term contract orders (principally commercial products) are recorded as shipments are made. (e) Inventories Inventories under long-term contracts and programs reflect all accumulated production costs, including factory overhead, initial tooling and other related costs (including general and administrative expenses relating to certain of the Company's defense contracts), less the portion of such costs charged to cost of sales. Inventory costs in excess of amounts recoverable under contracts are charged to cost of sales when they become known. All other inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally first-in, first-out method) or market. (f) Depreciation Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment have been provided primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or their respective lease periods. Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related financing. The unamortized balances of $1,012,000 and $1,153,000 are included in other assets at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. (g) Cost in Excess of Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired (Goodwill) The excess of the total acquisition cost of Barnes Engineering Company over the fair value of net assets acquired of approximately $11.0 million ($6.8 million, net of accumulated amortization at December 31, 1997) is being amortized on a straight-line basis over thirty years. The Company assesses the recoverability of unamortized goodwill by determining whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its estimated life can be recovered through the undiscounted projected future earnings of the acquired business. (h) Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used or disposed of for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable when measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Page 17 (i) Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. (j) Treasury Stock Treasury stock is recorded at cost, with issuances from treasury stock recorded at average cost. Treasury stock issued for directors' fees is recorded as an expense for an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock on the issuance date. (k) Earnings Per Share In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings Per Share," which the Company adopted in the fourth quarter of 1997. Under SFAS No. 128, the Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (Note 13). Prior year earnings per share data have been restated to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 128. (l) Financial Instruments The fair value and book value of the Company's long-term debt and ESOT obligation at December 31, 1997 were $35,368,000 and $39,685,000, respectively (Notes 9 and 10). The net carrying value of notes receivable approximates fair value based on current rates for comparable commercial mortgages. The fair value of the environmental obligation (Note 18) approximates its carrying value since it has been discounted. The fair values of all other financial instruments approximate book values because of the short maturities of these instruments. (m) Use of Estimates Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Among the more significant estimates included in these financial statements are the estimated costs to complete contracts in process, the estimated remediation costs related to the environmental matter discussed in Note 18 and the collectibility of receivables. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates. (n) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation The Company records compensation expense for employee and director stock options and warrants only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price on the date of the grant. On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The Company has elected not to implement the fair value based accounting method for employee and director stock options and warrants, but has elected to disclose the pro forma net earnings and pro forma earnings per share for employee and director stock option and warrant grants made beginning in 1995 as if such method had been used to account for stock-based compensation cost (Note 14). (2) Consolidation and Discontinuance of Product Lines In December 1997, the Company made the decision to consolidate its Acoustic Products product lines. The acoustic sensor products will be consolidated into the Company's Electro-Ceramic Products operations and the acoustic systems products into its Combat Systems operations. Such consolidation will result in the discontinuance of certain products within the Acoustic Products product lines. In connection with the consolidation, the Company recorded a charge (included in cost of sales) of $2,000,000, which is principally comprised of the write-down of inventory related to the discontinued product lines to its net realizable value. Page 18 (3) Discontinued Operations Pursuant to a Board of Directors resolution in September 1996, the Company adopted a plan to exit its energy-related businesses. Those businesses included: the Company's 50.4% interest in EDO (Canada) Limited, a manufacturer of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel cylinders; EDO Automotive Natural Gas Inc. (EDO ANGI), a designer and manufacturer of CNG refueling stations and related equipment; and EDO Energy Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company involved in program management activities in CNG and other alternative fuel projects. In April 1997, the Company sold EDO ANGI for approximately the book value of the related net assets. In May 1997, EDO (Canada) Ltd. made a voluntary assignment in bankruptcy pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act of Canada. EDO Energy Corporation satisfied most of its obligations in 1997 and will cease operations in 1998. The terms of these events did not result in a modification to the loss from discontinuing the businesses provided in 1996. The consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the effects of the Company's decision to treat its energy-related businesses as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the revenues, costs and expenses, assets and liabilities, and cash flows associated with the energy-related businesses are excluded from the respective captions in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Balance Sheets and Statements of Cash Flows. The net operating results of these entities are reported as "Loss from discontinued operations"; the net liabilities of these entities are reported as "Net liabilities of discontinued operations"; and the cash flows of these entities are reported as "Net cash used by discontinued operations." Net sales of the discontinued operations prior to the date of discontinuance were $9,321,000, and $12,181,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net liabilities of discontinued operations at December 31, 1996 were as follows: =========================================================== (in thousands) ----------------------------------------------------------- Assets-net $ 1,579 Liabilities (806) Accrual for losses during phase out period (1,000) ----------------------------------------------------------- Net liabilities of discontinued operations $ (227) =========================================================== (4) Subsidiary Equity Transaction In December 1995, EDO (Canada) Ltd. received $3.5 million from the sale of its capital stock to three companies. As a result, the Company's ownership of EDO (Canada) Ltd. was reduced from approximately 60% to approximately 50.4% with approximately 33% owned by the Province of Alberta and approximately 17% owned by three other minority shareholders. The Company's additional paid-in capital was increased by $795,000, representing its equity in EDO (Canada) Ltd.'s capital transactions in 1995. (5) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable included $17,917,000 and $16,121,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing unbilled revenues. Substantially all of the unbilled balances at December 31, 1997 will be billed and are expected to be collected during 1998. Total receivables due from the United States government, either directly or as a subcontractor to a prime contractor with the government, were $11,822,000 and $6,910,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. (6) Inventories Inventories are summarized by major classification as follows at December 31, 1997 and 1996: ===================================================== 1997 1996 (in thousands) ------------------------------------------------------ Raw material and supplies $ 3,471 $ 4,226 Work-in-process 3,120 3,380 Finished goods 225 388 ------------------------------------------------------ $ 6,816 $ 7,994 ===================================================== (7) Property, Plant and Equipment, Net The Company's property, plant and equipment at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and their related useful lives are summarized as follows: ================================================================ 1997 1996 Range in (in thousands) Years ---------------------------------------------------------------- Machinery and equipment $ 53,418 $ 50,244 3 - 10 Leasehold improvements 8,687 8,595 lease terms ---------------------------------------------------------------- 62,105 58,839 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 49,240 45,871 ---------------------------------------------------------------- $ 12,865 $ 12,968 ================================================================ In January 1996, buildings, building improvements and land at the Company's College Point facility were sold for $2.0 million of cash, net of expenses, $4.6 million of notes, and other consideration including prepaid rent. The total consideration received approximated the carrying value of the assets. The notes receivable of $3,975,000 at December 31, 1997, of which $975,000 is included in current assets are due in varying annual amounts through 2004 and bear interest at 7% commencing January 1, 1998 for $1,850,000 of the notes and January 1, 1999 for the balance of the notes. The notes receivable are secured by a mortgage on the related facility. Page 19 (8) Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consisted of the following at December 31, 1997 and 1996: =================================================================== 1997 1996 (in thousands) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Trade payables $ 4,205 $ 3,568 Employee compensation and benefits 3,092 2,579 Current portion of environmental obligation 571 1,254 Other 13,905 14,116 ------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 21,773 $ 21,517 =================================================================== (9) Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit Long-term debt of the Company at December 31, 1997 and 1996 consisted of the 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2011 that were issued in November 1986. The debentures are convertible at the rate of 45.45 common shares for each $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent to $22 per share. Debentures are redeemable at the option of the Company at par and at the option of the holder under certain circumstances involving a change in control of the Company. Commencing in 1996 and until retirement, the Company is required to make sinking fund payments of $1,750,000 per year. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had $2,183,000 of these debentures remaining in treasury which may be used to satisfy a portion of the sinking fund requirements. The carrying value of the debentures as of December 31, 1997 is $29,317,000. The Company estimates the fair value of the debentures as of December 31, 1997 to be approximately $25,000,000 based on trades during late 1997. The Company has a $15.0 million line of credit agreement with a bank for both short-term borrowings and letters of credit. The agreement expires on June 30, 1998 and limits the cash portion of potential borrowings to $10.0 million. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest based on the bank's prime rate plus 0.5% and are secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment. A condition to this agreement is compliance with the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Trust guarantee agreement that is described in Note 10. There have been no direct borrowings under this agreement. Borrowings under this agreement would be senior to the debentures described above. (10) Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust The Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) provides retirement benefits to substantially all employees. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, cash contributions of $942,000, $879,000 and $839,000 were made to the ESOP. As of December 31, 1997, there were 273,784 common shares in the ESOP. During 1988, the Employee Stock Ownership Trust (ESOT) purchased 89,772 convertible preferred shares from the Company for approximately $19,185,000. The shares are being allocated to employees through 2003 on the basis of compensation. The preferred shares provide for dividends of 8% per annum, which are deductible by the Company for Federal and state income tax purposes. The tax benefit that is attributable to unallocated shares is reflected as an increase to retained earnings. Each unallocated preferred share is convertible at its stated conversion rate into 10 common shares. Allocated shares are convertible at the greater of the stated conversion rate or the fair value of each preferred share ($190 at December 31, 1997) divided by the current market price of each common share. As of December 31, 1997, 53,488 shares have been allocated, 36,284 shares remained unallocated and 24,929 shares have been converted into 689,300 common shares. Until converted, each preferred share is entitled to 12.3 votes. The preferred shares are entitled to vote on all matters presented to holders of common shares voting together as a class, except that certain amendments and mergers could entitle the holders of preferred shares to vote separately as a class. The ESOP provides for pass-through of voting rights to the ESOP participants and beneficiaries. The ESOT purchased the preferred shares from the Company using the proceeds of a borrowing guaranteed by the Company. The ESOT services this obligation with the dividends received on the preferred shares and any additional contributions from the Company as required. Principal and interest payments on the note of the ESOT are to be made in quarterly installments through 2003. Interest is charged at 82% of the prime lending rate. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, the Company's cash contributions and preferred dividends were used to repay principal of $1,308,000, $1,211,000 and $1,120,000 and pay interest of $780,000, $865,000 and $982,000. Both the Company and the lender have the option to cancel or refinance the borrowing on or after April 1, 2000. The guarantee agreement also provides that the Company may be obligated to prepay the ESOT loan through redemption of the preferred shares at Page 20 $213.71 per share upon the occurrence of certain prepayment events. In addition to these prepayment events, there are certain covenants placed on the Company that require that several predetermined ratios be maintained. At December 31, 1997, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. In addition, payments of common stock dividends in 1998 and beyond will be limited to each year's net income in excess of net income for that year required for the Company to be in compliance with its net worth debt covenant (approximately $3.7 million of net income in 1998) up to $0.28 per common share. This obligation is secured with the Company's accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment. The fair value of the ESOT obligation approximates book value since the interest rate is prime-based and accordingly is adjusted for market rate fluctuations. The ESOT's borrowing guaranteed by the Company is reflected as a liability on the balance sheet with an equal amount as a reduction of shareholders' equity, offsetting the increase in the capital stock accounts. As the principal portion of the note is repaid through 2003, the liability and the ESOT loan obligation will be reduced concurrently. (11) Federal Income Taxes The 1997, 1996 and 1995 provision for Federal income taxes for continuing operations was comprised of the following amounts: =============================================== 1997 1996 1995 (in thousands) ----------------------------------------------- Federal Current $ - $ - $ - Deferred - - - ----------------------------------------------- Total $ - $ - $ - =============================================== Included in the 1997 and 1996 current Federal provision are $238,000 and $858,000, respectively, of benefit for the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. State income taxes of $313,000, $257,000 and $295,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, are included in general and administrative expenses. The effective Federal income tax rate differed from the statutory Federal income tax rate for the following reasons: ======================================================================= Percent of Pretax Earnings 1997 1996 1995 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tax at statutory rate 34.0% 34.0% 34.0% Preferred stock dividends (2.4) (1.2) (6.5) Decrease in valuation allowance (28.3) (29.4) (26.3) Other, net (3.3) (3.4) (1.2) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Effective Federal income tax rate - - - ======================================================================= Page 21 The items that comprise the significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows: ======================================================================= December 31 Deferred Tax Assets 1997 1996 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Postretirement obligation other than pensions $ 1,199 $ 1,358 U.S. net operating loss carryforwards 2,853 3,091 Environmental obligation 958 1,398 R&D and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards 2,138 2,326 Deferred compensation 1,792 1,480 Capital loss carryforwards 976 1,207 Discontinued operations - 2,380 Other 1,977 429 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deferred tax assets 11,893 13,669 Less: Valuation allowance (3,477) (5,328) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 8,416 8,341 Deferred Tax Liabilities ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Depreciation and amortization 3,535 3,357 Contract tax accounting 897 839 Prepaid pension asset 1,796 1,393 Other 2,188 2,752 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deferred tax liabilities 8,416 8,341 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Net deferred tax asset (liability) $ - $ - ======================================================================= Deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 1997 include U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $8,400,000 and $2,870,000, respectively, primarily expiring in 2009 and 2000, respectively, of which approximately $1,070,000 of the tax benefits will be allocated to retained earnings. R&D credits expire in the years 2008 and 2009. Realization of these assets is dependent on future taxable earnings and capital gains. A valuation allowance has been established at December 31, 1997 for the Company's net deferred tax asset since, based on the Company's recent cumulative losses, management cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. (12) Shareholders' Equity At various times beginning in 1983, the Board of Directors has authorized and subsequently increased by amendments, a plan to purchase an aggregate amount of 4,190,000 shares of the Company's common stock. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had acquired approximately 3,957,000 shares in open market transactions at prevailing market prices. Approximately 1,903,000 of these shares have been used for various purposes, including: conversion of preferred shares; contributions of shares to the EDO Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan; grants pursuant to the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plans; payment of directors' fees; partial payment of a 50% stock dividend; and stock options exercised. As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company held 2,054,474 and 2,409,136 treasury shares, respectively, for future use. At December 31, 1997, the Company had reserved, authorized and unissued common shares for the following purposes: ========================================================================= Shares ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conversion of 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2011 1,332,590 Stock option and long-term incentive plans 1,062,050 Conversion of preferred shares 982,856 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3,377,496 ========================================================================= (13) Earnings Per Share The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: ============================================================================== 1997 1996 1995 (in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Numerator: Net earnings available for common shares $ 5,900 $ 3,252 $ 1,421 Impact of assumed conversion of preferred shares 97 - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Numerator for diluted calculation $ 5,997 $ 3,252 $ 1,421 ============================================================================== Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding 6,261 5,975 5,736 Dilutive effect of stock options 151 111 32 Dilutive effect of conversion of preferred shares 983 1,054 1,233 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Denominator for diluted calculation 7,395 7,140 7,001 ============================================================================== The assumed conversion of the convertible debentures was anti-dilutive for all periods presented. (14) Stock Plans The Company has granted nonqualified stock options to officers, directors and other key employees, under a plan, approved by the shareholders in 1996, which replaced all previous stock option and long-term incentive plans, for the purchase of its common shares at the fair market value of the shares on the dates of grant. Options generally become exercisable on the third anniversary of the date of the grant and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant. Changes in options outstanding are as follows: Page 22 =============================================================================== 1997 1996 1995 Weighted Shares Weighted Shares Weighted Shares Average Subject Average Subject Average Subject Exercise to Exercise to Exercise to Price Option Price Option Price Option - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginning of year $ 6.57 737,313 $ 6.54 767,800 $ 7.09 790,238 Options granted 7.20 157,750 5.54 27,500 3.40 96,750 Options exercised 7.26 (175,313) 5.12 (27,662) - - Options cancelled 6.39 (30,800) 6.30 (30,325) 7.67 (119,188) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of year $ 6.55 688,950 $ 6.57 737,313 $ 6.54 767,800 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exercisable at year end $ 6.79 462,575 595,985 576,800 =============================================================================== The options outstanding as of December 31, 1997 are summarized in ranges as follows: =============================================================================== Range of Weighted Average Number of Options Weighted Average - Exercise Price Exercise Price Outstanding Remaining Life - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $3.07 - 5.99 3.72 198,750 7 years $6.00 - 8.99 7.46 461,200 5 years $9.00 - 11.56 11.37 29,000 2 years - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 688,950 =============================================================================== The plan, approved by the shareholders of the Company in 1996, also provides for restricted common share long-term incentive awards as defined under the plan. All shares authorized under the previous plans not yet awarded were canceled upon the approval of the 1996 plan. As of December 31, 1997, plan participants had been awarded 232,500 restricted common shares and 165,250 non qualified stock options. The 1996 plan will expire in 2005. The cost of the awards under the 1996 plan (and the previous plans which it replaced) is amortized over the five-year period the related services are provided. The amount charged to operations in 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $287,000, $148,000 and $0, respectively. The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $2.77, $2.70 and $2.37 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, on the dates of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 1997 - expected dividend yield of 1.3%, risk free interest rate of 5.5%, expected stock volatility of 30%, and an expected option life of 7-1/2 years; 1996 - expected dividend yield of 0%, risk free interest rate of 6%, expected stock volatility of 40%, and an expected option life of 7-1/2 years; 1995 - expected dividend yield of 0%, risk free interest rate of 5%, expected stock volatility of 50%, and an expected option life of 7/1-2 years. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock option grants and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in the financial statements for its stock options, which have exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair values of the stock on the dates of the grant. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair values at the grant dates for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's earnings from continuing operations, and basic and diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below: ============================================================ 1997 1996 1995 ------------------------------------------------------------ (in thousands, except per share amounts) ------------------------------------------------------------ Earnings from continuing operations: As reported $ 7,027 $ 13,068 $ 4,125 Pro forma 6,879 13,007 4,079 Basic earnings per share: As reported $ 0.94 $ 1.99 $ 0.50 Pro forma 0.92 1.98 0.50 Diluted earnings per share: As reported $ 0.81 $ 1.67 $ 0.41 Pro forma 0.79 1.66 0.41 ============================================================ Pro forma earnings from continuing operations reflect only options granted beginning in 1995. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma earnings from continuing operations amounts presented above because compensation cost is reflected over the options' vesting period and compensation cost for options granted prior to January 1, 1995 was not considered. (15) Other Employee Benefit Plans The Company maintains a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's highest five-year average base salary in the final ten years of employment. The Company's funding policy is to make annual contributions to the extent such contributions are actuarially determined and tax deductible. The net pension (income) expense for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $(1,185,000), $(1,285,000), and $316,000, respectively. In addition, during 1995 the Company experienced a curtailment gain of $645,000 which reduced cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, as a result of its reduction in the number of employees. The expected long- Page 23 term rate of return on plan assets was 9.0% in 1997, 1996 and 1995. The actuarial computations assumed a discount rate on benefit obligations at December 31, 1997 and 1996 of 7.0% and 7.5%, respectively. The assumed rate of compensation increase approximates the Company's previous experience. The assets of the pension plan consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities, which are readily marketable. A summary of the components of net periodic pension (income) expense follows: ==================================================================== 1997 1996 1995 (in thousands) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost $ 1,380 $ 1,277 $ 1,192 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 5,999 5,359 5,469 Actual return on plan assets (17,306) (16,369) (18,791) Net amortization and deferral 8,742 8,448 12,446 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Net pension (income) expense $ (1,185) $ (1,285) $ 316 ==================================================================== The funded status of the plan as of December 31 was as follows: ============================================================================ 1997 1996 (in thousands) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Accumulated benefit obligation, including vested benefits of $81,819 and $69,704 for 1997 and 1996, respectively $ (83,114) $ (71,404) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Projected benefit obligation for service rendered to date $ (88,654) $ (76,290) Plan assets at fair value 109,793 97,837 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Funded status of plan 21,139 21,547 Unrecognized net gain from past experience different from that assumed and effects of changes in assumptions (16,985) (18,777) Unrecognized prior service cost 1,160 1,368 Unrecognized net asset at December 31, being amortized over 15 years through 2001 (33) (42) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prepaid pension cost (in other assets) $ 5,281 $ 4,096 ============================================================================ In addition, the Company established in 1988 a supplemental defined benefit plan for substantially all employees. In 1997, 1996 and 1995, the net pension expense for this plan was approximately $125,900, $64,800, and $58,300, respectively. The Company also has a supplemental retirement plan for officers and certain employees under which the Company has agreed to pay a predetermined retirement benefit. In the event of preretirement death or disability, the plan provides for similar benefits. Total expenses under this plan in 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $600,000, $585,000 and $468,000, respectively. (16) Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits The Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits to qualified retired employees and dependents at certain locations. These benefits are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, with the retiree paying a portion of the cost through contributions, deductibles and coinsurance provisions. The Company has always retained the right to modify or terminate the plans providing these benefits. In accordance with SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," the Company recognizes these benefit expenses on an accrual basis as the employees earn them during their employment rather than when they are actually paid. Cash outlays relating to retiree health care and life insurance benefits amounted to $740,000, $631,000 and $1,131,000 for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Postretirement health care and life insurance expense (income) included the following components: ===================================================================== 1997 1996 1995 (in thousands) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost $ 36 $ 42 $ 53 Interest cost 250 320 694 Amortization of prior service cost - (796) (662) Amortization of net unrecognized gain (15) (36) (71) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Total postretirement health care and life insurance expense (income) $ 271 $ (470) $ 14 ===================================================================== In 1995 the Company modified these benefit plans to shift the cost for certain participants over age 65 to Medicare HMO type plans. The effect of this change was to reduce the postretirement obligation by approximately $5.0 million. During 1996, the Company recognized a non-cash curtailment gain of $7,120,000 in connection with the discontinuance of postretirement medical benefits for Medicare-eligible retirees. This gain represents the reversal of a significant portion of the postretirement obligation established upon the adoption of SFAS No. 106 in 1993. The funded status and breakdown of the postretirement health care and life insurance benefits are as follows as of December 31: =============================================================================== 1997 1996 (in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees $ 2,326 $ 2,367 Eligible active employees 631 571 Other ineligible active employees 617 583 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfunded accumulated postretirement benefit obligation $ 3,574 $ 3,521 Unrecognized net (loss) gain (48) 474 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accrued postretirement benefit cost $ 3,526 $ 3,995 =============================================================================== Page 24 Actuarial assumptions used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation include a discount rate of 7.0% and 7.5% at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and estimated increases in health care costs. The Company has limited its increase in health care costs to 5% per year by requiring the retirees to absorb any costs in excess of 5% and has used such rate to measure its obligation. (17) Commitments and Contingencies The Company is contingently liable under the terms of letters of credit (Note 9) aggregating approximately $10,844,000 at December 31, 1997, should it fail to perform in accordance with the terms of its contracts with foreign customers. At December 31, 1997, the Company and its subsidiaries were obligated under building and equipment leases expiring between 1998 and 2012. Rental expense under such leases for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 amounted to $3,555,000, $3,490,000 and $2,450,000, respectively. Minimum future rentals under those obligations with noncancellable terms in excess of one year are as follows: 1998 - $ 3,130,000 1999 - $ 3,070,000 2000 - $ 3,050,000 2001 - $ 3,060,000 2002 - $ 2,740,000 Thereafter - $11,500,000 (18) Legal Matters The Company and three other companies have entered into a consent decree with the Federal government for the remediation of a Superfund site. The Company believes that the aggregate amount of the obligation and timing of cash payments associated with this matter are reasonably fixed and determinable. Accordingly, the environmental obligation has been discounted at five percent. Management estimates that as of December 31, 1997 the discounted liability over the remainder of the twenty-eight years related to this matter is approximately $3.5 million of which approximately $0.6 million has been classified as current and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Approximately $1.2 million of the $3.5 million liability will be incurred over the next five years. Management believes it is covered by liability insurance for all of the unreimbursed costs it incurs. During 1997, the Company settled with one of its insurance carriers for $2,900,000, which was recorded as litigation settlement income in 1997 and was collected in January 1998. The Company is in the process of seeking collection from another insurance carrier. The Company is also involved in other environmental cleanup efforts, none of which, management believes, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Additionally, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain legal actions that arise out of the normal course of business. It is management's belief that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. KPMG PEAT MARWICK LLP INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors and Shareholders EDO Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EDO Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 1997. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EDO Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
