ITEM 2.01   COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

      On September 15, 2006, EDO Corporation completed the acquisition of Impact
Science & Technology Inc., a privately-held New Hampshire corporation ("IST")
from all of the shareholders of IST. As previously announced under the terms of
the IST Stock Purchase Agreement, EDO paid an aggregate purchase price of $124
million for the IST shares, consisting of $106 million in cash and a promissory
note in the principal amount of $18 million payable over three years. In
addition, nine key employees received retention payments in the form of 405,103
restricted EDO Common Shares valued at $9 million. Taking into account IST's
cash balance at the time of the offer, the net purchase price of $113 million
was funded from EDO's current cash balance, plus a $100 million borrowing from
the company's bank-credit facility provided by a bank group led by Citigroup
Global Markets Inc. and Wachovia Capital Markets LLC.
