Noncontrolling Interest

The company entered into a business venture agreement to pursue potential product and support service contracts for agencies and instrumentalities for the United States Government. The business venture, Aerostar Integrated Systems (AIS), is 75 percent owned by the company and will be included in the Aerostar business segment. Given the company's majority ownership interest, the accounts of the business venture have been consolidated with the accounts of the company, and a noncontrolling interest has been recorded for the noncontrolling investor's interests in the net assets and operations of the business venture. Total capital contribution and net income for the three and nine month period ended October 31, 2011 were $100 and $32, respectively.
