Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Environmental Tectonics Corporation ("ETC" or the "Company"), its wholly-owned subsidiaries ETC International Corporation, Entertainment Technology Corporation, and ETC Europe, and its majority-owned subsidiary ETC-PZL Aerospace Industries, Ltd. ("ETC-PZL"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Environmental Tectonics Corporation, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations and the financial results for the period presented may not be indicative of the full year's results, although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 25, 2000. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 financial statements to conform with the 2000 presentation. 2. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. The following table demonstrates the components of basic and diluted earning per share for the three and six month periods ended August 25, 2000 and August 27, 1999. All earnings per share and share amounts have been restated to reflect a 2 for 1 stock split effective May 28, 1999. 5

3. Accounts Receivable The components of accounts receivable are as follows:
August 25, February 25, 2000 2000 ------------ ------------ (amounts in thousands) U.S. Government receivables billed and unbilled contract costs subject to negotiation $ 5,818 $ 5,145 U.S. commercial receivables billed 4,159 1,395 International receivables billed and unbilled contract costs subject to negotiation 5,028 4,598 ------- ------- 15,005 11,138 Less allowance for doubtful accounts (364) (367) ------ -------- $14,641 $ 10,771 ======= ========
U.S. Government receivables billed and unbilled contract costs subject to negotiation: Unbilled contract costs subject to negotiation represent claims made or to be made against the U.S. Government under a contract for a centrifuge. These costs were recorded beginning in fiscal year 1994, including $1,148,000 recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company has recorded claims, amounting to $3,898,000 to the extent of contract costs incurred, and accounts receivable of $1,649,000 representing the balance due under the contract. Claim 6 costs have been incurred in connection with U.S. Government caused delays, errors in specifications and designs, and other unanticipated causes and may not be received in full during fiscal 2001. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, revenue recorded by the Company from a claim does not exceed the incurred contract costs related to the claim. The Company currently has approximately $12,000,000 in claims filed with the U.S. Government (including the aforementioned recorded claim and accounts receivable balances), which are subject to negotiation and audit by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government has responded to the claims with either denials or deemed denials that the Company has appealed. In May 2000, the Company and the U.S. Government reached an agreement in principle which would have included resolution of all U.S. Navy claims on a global basis and contracted additional work on the centrifuge. In July 2000, the Company received notice that the Navy, citing an inability to obtain the requisite approvals and thus the necessary funding to effect the settlement, was rescinding the agreement. International receivables and unbilled contract costs subject to negotiation International receivables billed includes $900,000 related to a certain contract with the Royal Thai Air Force. In October 1993, the Company was notified by the Royal Thai Air Force ("RTAF") that the RTAF was terminating a certain $4,600,000 simulator contract with the Company. Although the Company had performed in excess of 90% of the contract, the RTAF alleged a failure to completely perform. In connection with this termination, the RTAF made a call on a $229,000 performance bond, as well as a draw on an approximately $1,100,000 advance payment letter of credit. Work under this contract had stopped while under arbitration, but on October 1, 1996, the Thai Trade Arbitration Counsel rendered its decision under which the contract was reinstated in full and the Company was given a period of nine months to complete the remainder of the work. Except as noted in the award, the rights and obligations of the parties remained as per the original contract including the potential invoking of penalties or termination of the contract for delay. On December 22, 1997, the Company successfully performed acceptance testing and the unit passed with no discrepancy reports. Although the contract was not completed in the time allotted, the Company has requested an extension on the completion time due to various extenuating circumstances, including allowable "force majeure" events, one of which was a delay in obtaining an 7 export license to ship parts required to complete the trainers. The balance due on the contract is still under review and at this point the Company is not able to determine what, if any, impact the extended completion period will have upon the receipt of final payment. However, the Company continues to pursue recovery. Unbilled contract costs subject to negotiation represent claims made or to be made against an international customer for three contracts covering 1994 to the present. Claims aggregating $2,703,000 have been recorded, including $1,093,000 in the current quarter. (This additional claim receivable, and corresponding claims revenue, was completely offset by a decrease in contract value and corresponding contract revenue to adjust the unbilled balance on two of these contracts for a foreign exchange loss as these contracts are denominated in British pound sterling.). Claim costs have been incurred in connection with customer caused delays, errors in specifications and designs, and other out-of-scope items, and may not be received in full during fiscal 2001. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, revenue recorded by the Company from a claim does not exceed the incurred contract costs related to the claim. The Company is currently updating and finalizing these claims and also has begun legal proceedings in the United Kingdom against the customer. As a related item, during the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the aforementioned international customer, citing failure to deliver product within contract terms, assessed liquidated damages totalling approximately $1,600,000 on two contracts currently in progress. The Company disputes the basis for these liquidated damages and plans to contest them vigorously. However, following generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has reduced contract values by approximately $1,600,000 and corresponding revenue recognition by $1,573,000. 4.

Subsequent Events On September 9, 2000, the company purchased the assets of the "Pro-Pilot" flight simulation game for $400,000 cash. The Company plans to develop a next generation "Pro-Pilot 2000"tm game which will be marketed through the internet. Also, this software is expected to be integrated into our General Aviation Trainer product for commercial application. On September 27, 2000, the Company purchased another 30% ownership in ETC-PZL for $300,000 cash. With this purchase, the Company's ownership increases to 95%. 8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, " Accounting and Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts and for Hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments as fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and resulting designation. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier application is permitted only as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 133. 11 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition (amounts in dollars, except where noted and share and per share amounts) Results of Operations Three months ended August 25, 2000 compared to August 27, 1999. The Company had net income of $118,000, or $.02 per share (diluted), versus net income of $372,000 or $.05 per share (diluted), for the corresponding second quarter of fiscal 2000. Sales for the quarter were $6,994,000, a decrease of $1,285,000 or 15.5%, over the corresponding prior period. The primary contributors to the sales decrease were international contracts for the Company's Aircrew Training Systems. Partial offsets were an increase in domestic Sterilizer work, Environmental Systems projects, and a 45.0% increase in the entertainment business unit. Overall, domestic sales were down $108,000, or 2.8% from the prior period, and represented 53.4% of the Company's total sales, up from 46.4% a year ago. International sales were down $1,007,000 or 24.2%, and represented 45.0% of total sales, down from 50.2% in the prior period. Gross profit dollars were down $145,000 from the prior period, reflecting the lower sales level, although the rate as a percentage of sales was up 4.2 percentage points to 38.3%. Rate increases were evidenced in all product categories except Sterilizers. ATS performance in the prior peroid included a series of new products under development which experienced low margins as compared to current projects in process. Selling and administrative expenses increased $156,000 or 8.9%. This reflected additional hiring, commissions and claims legal expenses domestically and local expenses for the Company's ETC Europe subsidiary acquired in March, 2000. Research and development expenses were down from the prior period reflecting reduced product development primarily in the Company's entertainment area. Interest and other fees were up $42,000 or 21.6% reflecting increased borrowings albeit at a lower rate. The Company's tax rate approximated the statutory rate for both periods. 12 Results of Operations Six months ended August 25,2000 compared to August 27, 1999. The Company had net income of $1,000,000, or $.13 per share (diluted), versus net income of $1,206,000, or $.14 per share (diluted), for the corresponding period of fiscal 2000. Sales for the six months were $14,151,000, a decrease of $2,423,000 or 14.6% over the corresponding prior period. The primary contributor to the sales decrease was international contracts for the Company's Aircrew Training Systems. A partial offset was increased domestic sales for entertainment products and the Chicago O'Hare Airport simulation project and increased government claims revenue of $1,148,000. Overall, domestic sales were up $1,150,000 or 22.8% over the prior period, and represented 43.7% of the Company's total sales, up from 30.4% a year ago. Government sales, reflecting the aforementioned claims revenue, were up $1,072,000 or 214.0% over the prior period, and represented 11.1% of total sales, up from 3.0% in the prior period. Gross profit decreased $64,000, or 1.0% as the sales decrease was mostly offset by an increase in the rate as a percentage of sales of 5.8 percentage points. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 42.6%, compared to 36.8% for the same period a year ago. The primary contributor to this increase in rate was the claims revenue booked in the second quarter of this year. Selling and administrative expenses increased $87,000, or 2.5%, reflecting additional expenses in the Company's Polish subsidiary and the addition of local expenses for the Company's ETC Europe subsidiary acquired in March, 2000. Research and development expenses were down slightly between the periods as additional software work in the Company's Turkish subsidiary in the current period offset reduced entertainment project development in the prior period. Interest and other fees were up $18,000 or 4.6% from the prior period reflecting increased interest charges on higher borrowings. The Company's tax rate approximated the statutory rate in both periods. 13 Liquidity and Capital Resources During the six month period ended August 25,2000, the Company used $4,971,000 for operating activities. This was primarily a result of an increase in accounts receivable and inventories, an increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted long-term contracts, and a decrease in accounts payable. Positive cash was generated by net income, non-cash expenses, and an increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted long-term contracts. Versus last year's corresponding period, net cash used in operating activities reflected a decrease of $3,125,000 as the prior period included higher billing activity. Investment activities consisted of purchases for capital equipment, capitalized software, and the net cash impact of buying ETC Europe. Financing activities consisted of cash from the issuance of long-term bonds and cash from the issuance of stock partially offset by an increase in restricted cash. On February 25, 2000, the Company signed an amendment to its revolving credit agreement originally entered into on March 27,1997, which increased its credit facility to $15,000,000 and extended its expiration date to August 31, 2001.(Subsequent to fiscal quarter end, the Company's main lender agreed to extend this agreement for an additional year.) Terms and conditions of the amendment remained essentially the same as the original agreement. Substantially all of the Company's short term financing is provided by this bank. On March 15, 2000, the Company issued approximately $5,500,000 of unregistered taxable variable rate demand/fixed rate revenue bonds (Series of 2000). Net proceeds from these bonds were used to repay a $4,100,000 advance taken on the Company's revolving credit facility and to finance construction of an addition to the Company's main plant in Southampton, Pa. The bonds are secured by a $5,600,000 irrevocable direct pay letter of credit issued by the Company's main lender which expires on March 15, 2005 and which is secured by all assets of the Company. The bonds carry a maturity date of April 1, 2020, bear a variable interest rate which adjusts each week to a rate required to remarket the bonds at full principal value (currently at 6.6% on September 28, 2000) with a cap of 17%, and are subject to mandatory redemption of $275,000 per year for 19 years and $245,000 for the 20th year. The Company's sales backlog at August 25, 2000, and February 25, 2000, for work to be performed and revenue to be recognized under written agreements after such dates was approximately $39,383,000 and $44,146,000, respectively. In addition, the Company's training and maintenance contracts backlog at August 25, 2000, and February 25,2000, for work to be performed and revenue to be recognized after that date under written agreements was approximately $1,017,000 and $1,288,000, respectively. 14 ---------------------------- This report contains certain 'forward-looking statements' including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believes", "anticipates", intends", "expects", and words of similar import relating to the Company's operations.
