NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In Thousands)

NOTE 1. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the exercise of stock options and warrants.

The components of the denominator for basic earnings (loss) per common share and diluted earnings (loss) per common share are reconciled as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	September 28,		September 29,		September 28,		September 29,
	2003		2002		2003		2002

NOTE 3. Stock Based Compensation

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”), encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Accordingly, the Company records expense in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the quoted market price on the grant date over the option price.

The following table includes as reported and proforma information required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. Proforma information is based on the fair value method under SFAS No. 123.

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Purchased and manufactured parts		13,509		13,576
Total	$	19,332	$	19,683

NOTE 5. Discontinued Operations

During fiscal 2001, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to focus its resources and capital on the aerospace and defense products business and exit the specialty fastener segment. As a result, discontinued operations include all of the remaining operations related to its specialty fastener segment and Norco, Inc., the net assets of which were sold on February 24, 2003. There were no operating results from discontinued operations in fiscal 2004.

Net sales and losses from the discontinued operations for the comparable periods in fiscal 2003 were as follows:

	Three Months			Six Months
	Ended			Ended
	September 29, 2002			September 29, 2002
Net sales	$	11,876		$	31,482
Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes		(5,110	)		(6,105	)
Income tax benefits		1,587			1,975
Loss from discontinued operations	$	(3,523	)	$	(4,130	)

The $4.1 million loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended September 29, 2002 included actual operating income of $4.5 million from discontinued operations, allocated interest expense of $3.6 million, a $1.9 million charge to reflect the amounts ultimately realized from sales of discontinued business units, a noncash charge of $4.9 million associated with the recognition of accumulated currency translation losses from the sale of our Brazilian operation, a cash charge of $0.2 million from the final settlement of our interest rate swap contracts, and a tax benefit of $2.0 million.

NOTE 6. Long-Term Debt Payable to Banks and Others

Long-term debt payable to banks and others, including current maturities, consisted of the following:

	September 29,		March 31,
	2003		2003
Senior Subordinated Notes     18.5%	$	54,772	$	53,329
Other		237		237
		55,009		53,566
Less current maturities		79		79
Total long-term debt	$	54,930	$	53,487

SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY

At September 28, 2003, the Company had a senior credit facility consisting of an $8.0 million asset based revolving credit facility which was established in August 2002 (the “New Senior Credit Facility”) to refinance all remaining obligations outstanding under our prior senior credit facility. The New Senior Credit Facility was amended on August 5, 2003. The maturity date of this facility is January 31, 2004. The current interest rate is approximately 5.0%. The New Senior Credit Facility is secured by all of the Company’s assets. The Company is in compliance with the provisions of the facility. There were no borrowings outstanding under the facility at September 28, 2003.

SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

On August 30, 2000, the Company completed a private placement of $75 million of senior subordinated notes (the “Notes”) and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”) to a group of institutional investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”). The Company used the proceeds of the private placement to retire, in full, a $75 million bridge loan held by a group of lenders led by Fleet National Bank. The Notes, as amended in August 2002, are due on August 29, 2005 and bear interest at a rate of 18% per annum consisting of 13% cash interest on principal, payable quarterly, and 5% interest on principal, payable quarterly in “payment-in-kind” (“PIK”) promissory notes. The PIK portion of the interest rate increases 0.25% each quarter until we retire the notes. The Company may prepay the Notes after August 29, 2001, at a premium initially of 9%, declining to 5%, 3%, and 1% on each of the next succeeding anniversaries of that date. The Notes contain customary financial covenants and events of default, including a cross-default provision to our senior debt obligations. The Company is in compliance with the provisions of the Notes. At September 28, 2003, the principal balance outstanding on the notes amounted to $54.8 million, which included the original principal amount plus the PIK notes. At March 31, 2003, the Company reported redeemable common stock in the amount of $1.3 million representing the per share put right (257,000 shares at $5.00 per share) held by certain Purchasers who had exercised their Warrants. The put right on approximately 211,000 shares expired on June 24, 2003 and, accordingly, the Company reclassified $1.1 million from redeemable common stock to additional paid-in capital with the remainder of the redeemable common stock being reclassified to long-term debt to reflect the exercise of the put by a Purchaser. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Purchaser in question revoked its put exercise and that portion was reclassified to additional paid in capital in the second quarter. In addition, the put right on 171,041 Warrants expired and, accordingly, $0.9 million representing the cash value of the put right on these Warrants was reclassified from a liability account to additional paid-in capital in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. At September 28, 2003, there were 171,041 Warrants outstanding which are each convertible into common stock at the price $.01 per warrant. All of the Warrants were considered to be common stock equivalents for the purpose of calculating earnings per share at September 28, 2003.

The Company has long-term debt maturities of $0.1 million, $54.9 million and $0.1 million in 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 7. New Accounting Standards

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”) which amends SFAS No. 123. This statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. The transition guidance and disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements and expects that the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 8. Contingencies

As previously reported, the Company is subject to an investigation being conducted by the Newark, New Jersey office of the United States Attorney with respect to the Company’s overhaul and repair operations. The Company has to date and will continue to cooperate fully with the government’s investigation. In addition, the Board of Directors has retained a fact finding and forensic accounting firm, The Bradlau Group, Morristown, New Jersey, to perform an independent process review and evaluation of the overhaul and repair operations the Company’s Breeze-Eastern business. The Board of Directors has indicated that it intends to share the findings of this independent process review and evaluation with the United States Attorney’s office. The findings of The Bradlau Group were not complete as of the date of this filing. The investigation has had no impact, and the Company does not expect an impact, on its ability to manufacture and ship products and meet customer delivery schedules. As of this date, the US Attorney’s investigation is continuing and the Company has not been made aware of any specific violations resulting from that investigation.
