NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A--Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial
statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and do not include all information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However,
the information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results
for the interim periods. The results of operations for the six months and
three months ended July 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that will be realized for the fiscal year ending January 31, 1996.
The accounting policies followed by the Company in preparing interim
consolidated financial statements are similar to those described in the "Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Company's January 31, 1995 Form
10-K.
The Company's fiscal year begins on February 1 of the year indicated and ends
on January 31 of the following year. For example, "Fiscal 1995" commenced on
February 1, 1995 and ends on January 31, 1996.
Net earnings per share of Common Stock were computed by dividing net earnings
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Common Stock
equivalents (outstanding options to purchase shares of Common Stock) are
excluded from the computations as they are insignificant. The weighted
average number of shares outstanding for the six and three months ended July
31, 1995 includes 42,250 and 16,250 shares issued pursuant to exercise of
stock options.
Note B--Commitments and Contingencies
Major contracts for military systems are performed over extended periods of
time and are subject to changes in scope of work and delivery schedules.
Pricing negotiations on changes and settlement of claims often extend over
prolonged periods of time. The Company's ultimate profitability on such
contracts will depend not only upon the accuracy of the Company's cost
projections, but also the eventual outcome of an equitable settlement of
contractual issues with the U.S. Government.
On May 3, 1995, an indictment was returned by a federal Grand Jury in Houston,
Texas, accusing the Company, a former consultant and four employees, including
the Company's President, of one count of major fraud against the United
States, four counts of false statements and one count of conspiracy to commit
major fraud, make false statements and interfere with the administration of
a foreign military sale. All of the counts arise from a 1987 subcontract to
supply diesel generator sets for installation at long-range radar sites in
Saudi Arabia (the "Peace Shield"). The indictment alleges that a former
employee of the general contractor for the Peace Shield program, who later
became a consultant to the Company, conspired with the Company and the other
defendants to award the subcontract to the Company. The indictment also
alleges that the government was defrauded out of approximately $5 million in
connection with cost savings from a change order under the Peace Shield
contract and that the Company made false statements relating to cost estimates
in connection with such change order. The Company and each individual have
denied all charges under the indictment and the case is pending in the United
States District Court, Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The
Company is not able to make a reasonable estimate of the fines or penalties
that could be imposed under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines in the event of
a conviction under the indictment. Such fines and penalties could be
substantial and adversely affect the Company's financial position and results
of operations. A conviction could also further adversely affect the Company's
ability to participate in future government contracts. See Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Also in connection with the Peace Shield contract, the Company has been
advised that the former consultant of the Company referred to above filed a
suit in the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, Houston
Division, for himself and the United States of America alleging that the
Company supplied false information in violation of the False Claims Act (the
"Act"), engaged in common law fraud and misapplied costs. Under the
provisions of the Act, the suit has not been served upon the Company pending
an investigation of the case by the U. S. Department of Justice and a
determination as to whether the Department of Justice will intervene and
pursue the matter on behalf of the United States. The suit alleges treble
damages of $21 million plus unspecified penalties. Proceedings in this case
have been stayed pending resolution of the criminal matter referred to above.
The Company cannot predict the outcome of this action or the likelihood that
substantial damages will result. However, the Company intends to vigorously
defend this case if it is served upon the Company.
On May 16, 1995, C. Daniel Chill filed a purported class action suit in the
United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, Houston Division,
against the Company and three of its officers and directors on behalf of
himself and all persons that purchased shares of Common Stock between May 2,
1994 and May 3, 1995. An amended complaint was filed on June 7, 1995. The
suit alleges that the Company violated various sections of and rules under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and common law by disseminating material false
and misleading information, failing to disclose material information and
failing to correct earlier statements that were no longer true, all relating
to the Peace Shield investigation and indictment. The suit claims unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages. The Company cannot predict the outcome of
this action or the likelihood that substantial damages will result. However,
the Company will vigorously defend this case and believes that this case will
be resolved without any material affect on the Company's financial condition
or results of operations.
The Company has not established any reserves or accruals for any potential
liability that may be subsequently found in any of the foregoing cases.
The Company is a defendant in a number of other lawsuits relating to
contractual, product liability, personal injury and warranty matters and
otherwise of the type normally incident to the Company's business. Management
is of the opinion that such lawsuits will not result in any material liability
to the Company.
Note C--Inventories
At January 31, 1995, the Engineered Powered Systems segment's inventory
included approximately $14,789,000 of costs on a certain U.S. Government
contract in excess of contractual authorization. During the second quarter
of Fiscal 1995, the Company recognized $3,500,000 of additional costs under
such contract based upon preliminary settlement discussions and the opinion
of outside legal counsel that the Company will recover a substantial portion
of the amount claimed. At July 31, 1995, the Engineered Power Systems
segment's inventory in excess of billing included $18,794,000 relating to
costs incurred by the Company which will be collectible upon either
contractual ammendment or approval of claims increasing funding.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with the
Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year
ended January 31, 1995.

========= ========= ========= =========
Sales for the first six months of the year ending January 31, 1996 ("Fiscal
1995") increased 11.5% to $608,862,000 compared to sales of $546,273,000 for
the same period in the year ended January 31, 1995.
The Distribution segment was the primary contributor to the Company's sales
growth with an increase in sales of $37,309,000 (23%) in the first half of
Fiscal 1995 compared to the same period in Fiscal 1994. This increase is
mainly attributable to the acquisition of the assets and business of Power
Application & Mfg., Co. ("PAMCO"), a Waukesha distributor for the western
United States, during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1994. The distribution of
product lines acquired from PAMCO contributed sales of $22,312,000 in the
first half of Fiscal 1995. Excluding sales relating to the PAMCO acquisition,
the Distribution segment's increase of 9% in the first half of Fiscal 1995
over the same period in Fiscal 1994 reflects the continued growth of the
economies in the territories serviced by the Company.
The Engineered Power Systems (EPS) segment sales increased $17,549,000 (6%)
for the first half of Fiscal 1995 compared to the same period in Fiscal 1994.
The sales growth in the EPS segment is attributed to the sales of gas turbine
products and services. Aftermarket services, including contract operation of
power plants, increased $11,332,000 in the first half of Fiscal 1995 compared
to the first half of Fiscal 1994. This increase includes $8,180,000 arising
from the acquisition of certain assets and business of CPS International, Inc.
during the third quarter of Fiscal 1994.
The Tactical Vehicle Systems (TVS) segment sales increased $5,151,000 (6%) for
the first half of Fiscal 1995 compared to the same period in Fiscal 1994. The
increase in TVS sales reflects the increase in truck production under the
"Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles" (FMTV) contract to 891 trucks in the
first half of Fiscal 1995 compared to 715 trucks in the same period in Fiscal
1994.
Sales for the second quarter of Fiscal 1995 increased $32,722,000 (11.4%) to
$319,840,000 compared to sales of $287,118,000 during the second quarter of
Fiscal 1994. The Distribution segment and EPS segment contributed to this
increase. The Distribution segment sales increased $19,506,000 (24%) for the
second quarter of Fiscal 1995 compared to the same period in Fiscal 1994. EPS
segment sales increased $10,000,000 (6.8%) for the second quarter of Fiscal
1995 compared to the same period in Fiscal 1994.
The gross profit margin of 16.2% for the first half of Fiscal 1995 improved
as compared to 15.5% for the same period in Fiscal 1994. Gross profit margins
for the second quarter of Fiscal 1995 were 15.6% compared to 15.4% for the
second quarter of 1994. Higher gross profit margins recognized on power
generation equipment during the first half of Fiscal 1995 were partially
offset by lower gross profit margins on compression equipment recognized by
the Company in the second quarter of Fiscal 1995. Also in the second quarter
of Fiscal 1995, the Company recognized $3,500,000 in gross profits based on
initial settlement discussions relating to a pending contract dispute. See
Note C to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Selling and administrative expenses for the first half of Fiscal 1995
increased as a percentage of sales to 7.3% compared to 6.5% for the same
period in Fiscal 1994. The significant portion of this increase is
attributable to the two acquisitions made in the second half of Fiscal 1994
and to the increased administrative costs related to the establishment of an
international infrastructure, primarily for gas turbine product support.
Interest expense for the first half of Fiscal 1995 increased to $6,100,000,
up from $2,299,000 for the same period in Fiscal 1994. This increase is due
to an increase in both interest rates and outstanding debt required to carry
increased inventories of turbine-driven equipment and other working capital
items.
Net earnings of $32,942,000 ($1.00 per share) for the first half of Fiscal
1995 represents a 4.5% increase compared to $31,517,000 ($.96 per share) for
the same period in Fiscal 1994. This growth in earnings is primarily the
result of the increases in sales and resulting margins discussed above.
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS STATUS
Initial Operational Test and Evaluation under the FMTV Contract was completed
in the second quarter and recently released test data shows outstanding
results in every category. Overall, the fleet of trucks bettered requirements
by scoring between 223 percent and 337 percent above the Army's reliability
standards. The Company has been informed that a decision to approve full rate
production and type classification for the FMTV to be placed in the U.S. Army
inventory was reached August 16, 1995 with formal notification to be issued
shortly. Actual fielding of the vehicles to combat troops is expected to
begin as soon as December of this year. Under the terms of the FMTV contract,
all vehicles produced before the full rate production decision must be
retrofitted with any changes required by test results or specification changes
ordered by the government. The Company has scheduled the retrofit to occur
during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1995.
The Company is currently in low rate initial production. The current fiscal
year's planned production quantity is scheduled for completion by the end of
the third quarter. Full rate production is expected to commence after receipt
of program certification and completion of the retrofit program.
EFFECT OF CERTAIN LITIGATION
On May 3, 1995, the Company and four current employees, including the
Company's President, were indicted by a federal Grand Jury on six counts
arising out of a 1987 subcontract to supply diesel generator sets for
installation in Saudi Arabia. See Note B to the Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements. Based on the indictment, the Company has been suspended
from bidding on or receiving any new contracts or extending any existing
contracts with agencies of the executive branch of the federal government or
receiving the benefit of federal assistance payments. Moreover, a conviction
of the Company on the charges set forth in the indictment could result in an
ineligibility from receiving government contracts for up to three years.
Under the regulations governing suspension, existing contracts are not
affected. In addition, the Department of the Army has determined that there
are compelling reasons that would permit the extension or renewal of the
Company's FMTV contract at any time prior to September 30, 1995. Any vehicles
under contract prior to that date will not be affected by the suspension.
The suspension will affect all future procurement and nonprocurement activity
of the federal government and may affect the procurement activities of certain
state and local governments. Except for sales pursuant to the FMTV
contracts, direct and indirect sales to agencies of the federal government did
not make a material contribution to any of the Company's business segments
during Fiscal 1994 and are not expected to make a material contribution in the
future. Nonprocurement activity affected by the suspension includes the
receipt of grants and loans from the federal government and sales that are
directly or indirectly funded by loans from agencies of the federal
government. The Company is not the direct recipient of any grants or loans
from agencies of the federal government but the Company's EPS division
regularly sells equipment and services to recipients of loans from Export
Import Bank ("EXIM Bank"), Overseas Private Investment Corporation ("OPIC")
and other such agencies. The Company has been advised by representatives of
EXIM Bank and OPIC that such organizations will not provide financing or other
assistance for projects for which the Company is a vendor as long as the
Company is suspended or debarred from government contracting. If alternative
financial facilities are not available or are unacceptable to the Company's
customers, the continued suspension or debarment of the Company could
materially adversely affect EPS segment sales.
UNFILLED ORDERS
The Company's unfilled orders consist of written purchase orders, letters of
intent, and oral commitments. These unfilled orders are generally subject to
cancellation or modification due to customer relationships or other
conditions. Purchase options are not included in unfilled orders until
exercised. Unfilled orders at July 31, 1995, and at the close of Fiscal 1994
were as follows:
July 31 January 31
1995 1995
____________ ____________
(Dollars in millions)
Engineered Power Systems
Equipment $ 365.7 $ 416.0
Operations and Maintenance 317.7 311.6
____________ ____________
683.4 727.6
Distribution 44.8 40.0
Tactical Vehicle Systems 931.3 1,017.8
____________ ____________
Total $1,659.5 $1,785.4
============ ============
Although no assurance can be given, the Company expects sales of the
Engineered Power Systems segment to continue to be weighted in favor of
turbine-driven equipment because of the large number of unfilled orders for
these units, the number of proposals that are presently outstanding and the
current worldwide need for additional electrical generating capacity.
Unfilled orders of the Tactical Vehicle Systems segment consists principally
of the contracts awarded in October 1991, by the United States Department of
the Army, to manufacture medium tactical vehicles. The contracts are subject
to Congressional approval of necessary funding for future program years. As
of July 31, 1995, funding for purchases for program year five, which begins
during the Company's Fiscal 1997, had not been received. If such funding is
not approved or is limited or delayed, the number of trucks produced in each
fiscal year may be reduced or contract performance may be delayed.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND COMMITMENTS
Capital spending for property, plant and equipment was $9,959,000 for the
first half of Fiscal 1995 compared to $12,350,000 for the same period in
Fiscal 1994.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
Long-term borrowings at July 31, 1995 decreased slightly from the end of
Fiscal 1994. The Company has $105,000,000 in committed credit facilities
which were fully utilized at July 31, 1995 and at the end of Fiscal 1994. The
Company has additional banking relationships which provide uncommitted
borrowing arrangements. These short-term borrowings increased to $75,000,000
at July 31, 1995 from $42,000,000 at the end of Fiscal 1994. This debt
increase of $33,000,000 is principally a result of the timing of customer
progress payments for contracts-in-process and absence of progress payments
under certain contracts under production during Fiscal 1995. The Company's
working capital needs can fluctuate significantly depending on the progress
payment streams of contracts-in-process. The Company regularly bids on large
commercial contracts and turnkey construction contracts that require the
Company to finance work-in-process. If awarded to the Company, these
contracts could also affect working capital needs. The Company may expand its
Distribution and EPS segments by selective acquisition of additional
distribution territories and product lines. In the event that such activities
create a need for working capital or capital expenditures in excess of
existing committed lines of credit, the Company may seek to convert its
uncommitted borrowing arrangements to committed credit facilities, to borrow
under other long-term financing sources or to issue additional equity
securities. The Company's current credit facilities appear adequate to meet
its foreseeable cash requirements.
