NET SALES

Net sales for the three months ended June 29, 2002 decreased to $19.3 million from $21.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001, a 12% decrease.

   
 

Net sales in our Aerospace-Electronics segment were $12.1 million for the three months ended June 29, 2002 compared to $15.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, a 20% decrease. Over $2 million of this decrease came in product lines affected by the softness in commercial aviation and consumer electronics industries. Our military sales were down about $700,000 as we wind down the production phase of our F-16 program. F-16 shipments were $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared to $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2001, a $1.3 million decrease.

   
 

Net sales in our Printing-Packaging segment increased to $7.2 million for the three months ended June 29, 2002 compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, a 5% increase. Short run commercial printing accounted for this increase.

   
 

Net sales for the first half of 2002 were $38.5 million compared to $41.9 million, a decrease of $3.4 million or 8.1%.

   
 

In the first half of 2002 Aerospace-Electronics net sales were down 15.4% to $23.7 million, a decrease of $4.3 million from $28 million in 2001. Virtually all of this decrease occurred in product lines affected by the softness in commercial aviation and consumer electronics. Our military sales were about the same in the first half of 2002 compared to the first half of 2001, as lower shipments under our F-16 retrofit program were offset by increases in other military product sales. F-16 shipments were $10.3 million for the first half of 2002 compared to $11.7 million for the first half of 2001.

   
 

Printing-Packaging's net sales for the first half of 2002 were $14.8 million compared to $13.8 million in the first half of 2002, a 7.2% increase, nearly all of which came from short run commercial printing.

   

EXPENSES AND MARGINS

Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 29, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 was 2.6% lower. For the first half of 2002 cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales was 2.8% lower than the first half of 2001. Both segments contributed to these reductions. In the case of Aerospace-Electronics, production efficiencies on the F-16 program and increased volume from our Montreal operation overcame the impact on margins from reduced volume. The Printing-Packaging segment benefited from the additional volume and cost control.

   
 

Selling, general and administrative costs, as a percentage of net sales, for the three months ended June 29, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased 2.1%, which equates to $361,000. The increased expenditures include outside engineering and employee training incurred in the Printing-Packaging segment and general corporate expenditures related to legal and consulting services.

   
 

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) declined $330,000 for the second quarter of 2002 compared to second quarter 2001. The improved gross profit margins partially offset the impact of lower sales and the higher selling, general and administrative costs. EBIT for the year-to-date comparison is down $110,000. The improvement in gross profit margins was about the same as for the quarter; however, the sales decline and increased SG&A costs were not as severe on a relative basis.

   
 

Our net interest expense is down to $56,000 for the quarter and $131,000 for the year-to-date in 2002 compared to $171,000 for the quarter and $327,000 for the year-to-date in 2001. This is a result of lower net debt levels as well as lower interest rates.

   

TAXES

Income tax rates were slightly higher for the quarter and year-to-date in 2002 compared to 2001: 38.8% and 37.8%, respectively, compared to 38.3% and 36.6% in 2001, mostly due to higher Canadian taxes.

   

NET INCOME
AND EARNINGS PER
SHARE

Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $1.3 million, down $144,000 or 9.7%, from the 2001 second quarter; earnings per share were $.16 compared to $.18. For the first half of 2002, our bottom line performance was virtually identical to last year's first half.

   
 

Average shares outstanding for purposes of the diluted earnings per share calculation were slightly lower in 2002 compared to 2001, but not enough to impact the calculation.

   
 

The Board of Directors declared a 25% stock distribution to shareholders of record on November 16, 2001. Per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this distribution.

   

LIQUIDITY

Cash provided by operating activities was $4.6 million during the first half of 2002, mainly as a result of net income plus depreciation and amortization offset by a net increase in working capital components.

   
 

The Company's capital expenditures of $1.1 million for the first half of 2002 were down by $.2 million from the 2001 level. Capital expenditure commitments for the balance of 2002 are approximately $5.5 million.

   
 

The Company has a $12,000,000 revolving line of credit, of which it had utilized $1.6 million at June 29, 2002. The line is available through June 30, 2004 at which time amounts outstanding may be converted into a four-year term loan. The revolving line of credit, among other requirements, imposes certain financial performance covenants with which the Company maintains compliance. The Company believes that cash balances at June 29, 2002, cash flow from operations and availability on the revolving line of credit are adequate to meet the Company's operational and capital expenditure requirements for 2002.

   

BACKLOG

The Company's backlog at June 29, 2002 was $23.1 million. The backlog is composed of $21.5 million in the Aerospace-Electronics segment and $1.6 million in the Printing-Packaging segment. Approximately $14.0 million of the Aerospace-Electronics backlog and all of the Printing-Packaging backlog is scheduled to ship in 2002.

   

COMMITMENTS

The Company has commitments for items that it purchases in the normal on-going affairs of the business. The Company is not aware of any obligations in excess of normal market conditions, nor of any long-term commitments that would have a material adverse affect on its financial condition.

   

MARKET RISK

The Company's foreign operations do not result in significant currency risks because nearly all of the Company's consolidated net sales are denominated in U.S. dollars and net assets held in, or measured in, currencies other than the U.S. dollar are not material.

   
 

Risks due to fluctuation in interest rates is a function of the Company's floating rate debt obligations which total approximately $14,800,000 at June 29, 2002. To offset this exposure, the Company entered into an interest rate swap on its New York Industrial Revenue Bond through 2005 which effectively fixes the interest rate at 4.09% on this $6,300,000 obligation. As a result, a change of 1% in interest rates would impact annual net income by less than $100,000.

   

NEW ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under the new rules, goodwill (and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives) is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements.

The Company adopted the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets on January 1, 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of the Statement resulted in an increase in net income of $82,000 in the six month period ended June 29, 2002. The Company performed the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 and determined that no adjustment to the carrying value of such assets was required.
