PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY, AND SHOULD BE READ IN
CONJUNCTION WITH, THE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. UNLESS
OTHERWISE INDICATED, THE INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS ASSUMES THAT (I) THE
UNDERWRITERS' OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION WILL NOT BE EXERCISED, AND (II) THE
TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED UNDER "RECAPITALIZATION" HAVE OCCURRED.

THE COMPANY

The Company designs, engineers, manufactures, repairs and/or overhauls
aircraft components such as mechanical and electromechanical control systems,
aircraft and engine accessories, auxiliary power units ("APUs"), avionics and
aircraft instruments. The Company serves a broad spectrum of the aviation
industry, including commercial airlines and air cargo carriers, as well as
original equipment manufacturers of aircraft and aircraft components ("OEMs"),
on a worldwide basis.

According to current U.S. Department of Commerce statistics, the annual
worldwide market for aircraft, including components, is approximately $56.7
billion. A recent issue of AVIATION WEEK AND SPACE TECHNOLOGY states that the
global airline industry spends at least $20 billion annually to maintain its
aircraft. The aircraft component production and repair industry is highly
fragmented, consisting of both a limited number of well-capitalized companies,
which offer a broad range of products and services, and a large number of
smaller, specialized companies. The Company believes that this market structure
and industry trends will result in continued industry consolidation.

The Company believes that there are a number of significant trends affecting
the demand for its products and services. Boeing's 1996 Market Outlook projects
that global air travel will increase by 70% and that the number of passenger and
cargo delivery aircraft in service will increase by 47% through the year 2005.
This continued growth in air transit and aircraft production will increase the
demand for aircraft component purchases and repairs. In addition to increased
air transit and aircraft in service, these trends include increased outsourcing
of the manufacture and maintenance of aircraft components, assemblies and
subassemblies by aircraft operators and OEMs, reductions by customers in the
number of approved suppliers and vendors of aviation products and services,
aging aircraft that require increased repair and maintenance, reduced supply of
surplus aircraft, increased emphasis on component traceability and more
stringent maintenance and safety requirements.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

The Company believes that it is well positioned to take advantage of these
trends due to:

GOVERNMENT CERTIFICATIONS. The Company operates nine repair stations
certified by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA") and
has been granted licenses from the FAA and foreign regulatory counterparts to
perform repair and overhaul services on broad classifications of aircraft
instruments and accessories. Without such broad certifications and licenses,
other companies may not offer these products and services, thereby constituting
a significant barrier to entry. In addition, the Company holds two exclusive
licenses issued by the FAA that permit the Company to design, engineer and
repair products to its own specifications for certain aircraft components and
therefore to compete

3
<PAGE>
directly with OEMs with respect to such components. These exclusive licenses
enable the Company to offer, on a proprietary basis, certain repaired parts to
its customers at a lower cost than other companies that must purchase
replacement parts from third parties.

EMPHASIS ON QUALITY CONTROL. The Company incurs significant expenses to
maintain stringent quality control of its products and services. In addition to
domestic and foreign governmental regulations, OEMs and other customers require
that the Company satisfy certain requirements relating to the quality of its
products and services. The Company performs testing and certification procedures
on all of the products that it designs, engineers, manufactures, repairs and
overhauls, and maintains detailed records to ensure traceability of the
production of and service on each aircraft component. The expense required to
institute and maintain comparable quality control procedures represents a
barrier to entry.

BROAD CUSTOMER BASE. Due to the Company's broad array of products and
services and its emphasis on quality control and timely delivery, the Company's
customers include virtually all of the world's major commercial airlines and an
increasing number of the most widely recognized air cargo carriers and OEMs. The
Company expects that its customer base will continue to strengthen and broaden
with increased cross-selling efforts by the Company of its various products and
services.

ESTABLISHED INDUSTRY PRESENCE. The operating divisions and subsidiaries in
the Company's aviation group have been involved in the aviation industry for an
average of over 30 years. These entities are characterized by experienced
management and highly-skilled employees. Due in large part to its established
industry presence, the Company enjoys strong customer relations, name
recognition and repeat business.

COMPANY STRATEGY

The Company intends to grow its aviation business through:

EXPANSION OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. The Company will continue to introduce
new aviation products and services to take advantage of the growing aviation
industry and the increasing demand for aviation products and services. In an
effort to expand its existing array of products and services and to capture
additional repair and overhaul business, the Company plans to expand, as
appropriate, its program for the distribution and inventory management of third
party aircraft components. The Company will also expand its assembly and
subassembly capabilities on certain aircraft components. By broadening its
products and services, the Company intends to further augment its position as a
consolidated point of purchase to the aviation industry, capitalizing on the
trend toward outsourcing and the reduction by aircraft operators and OEMs of the
number of approved suppliers and vendors.

INCREASED INTERNATIONAL MARKETING. The Company will continue to take
advantage of the expanding international market for aviation products and
services, as worldwide air travel escalates and foreign nations, particularly
China and other countries in Asia, purchase used aircraft that require more
frequent repair and maintenance. The Company currently supplies products and
services to virtually every major commercial airline in the world and retains
independent sales representatives in a number of foreign countries. The Company
intends to build on its existing international presence through foreign
acquisitions and continued market penetration.

CAPITALIZING ON AVIATION GROUP AFFILIATION. Utilizing the group affiliation
of the Company's operating divisions and subsidiaries, the Company plans to
increase cross-selling of its various capabilities to its customers. The
Company's operating divisions and subsidiaries will continue to share
independent sales representatives and jointly bid on projects where appropriate,
while still maintaining their individual identities.

EXPANDED OPERATING CAPACITY. The Company plans to increase its operating
capacity to meet the expected increased growth and demand in the aviation
industry. The Company will increase its capital expenditures, including
expenditures for additional equipment and skilled labor, to support this
increased capacity. The Company intends to continue to invest in state of the
art machinery to increase its operating efficiencies and improve operating
margins.

4
<PAGE>
GROWTH THROUGH ACQUISITIONS. The Company expects to continue its growth
through acquisitions of other companies, assets or product lines that add to or
complement the Company's existing aviation products and services. The Company
has successfully completed three acquisitions in the last 12 months. Because of
the fragmented nature of much of the market for aircraft products and services,
the Company believes that many additional acquisition opportunities exist in the
aviation industry. The Company does not currently have any pending or probable
acquisitions.

ADDITIONAL BUSINESSES

In addition to the aviation group, the Company also operates a metals group
that, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, processes, fabricates
and distributes metal products to manufacturers and other customers in the
computer, construction, container, farm equipment and office furniture
industries, primarily within North America. The metals group processes and
distributes carbon flat-rolled steel products and performs a variety of
processes on these products, including electrogalvanizing, slitting and
blanking. The Company also manufactures fuel tanks and hydraulic reservoirs and
erects structural steel frameworks. The metals group is a significant
contributor to the Company's financial strength and has consistently generated
profits and positive cash flows for the Company. The Company believes that it
competes successfully in the metals markets on the basis of price, quality and
reliability of service.

COMPANY ORGANIZATION

The Company was incorporated in 1993 to purchase the aviation and metals
businesses of Alco Standard Corporation ("Alco") in a management buyout (the
"Acquisition") organized by 19 members of management and CVC. See "Historical
Background." The Company's executive offices are located at Four Glenhardie
Corporate Center, 1255 Drummers Lane, Suite 200, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087-1565,
and its telephone number is (610) 975-0420.

RECAPITALIZATION

Immediately prior to the closing of this offering, the Company will
consummate a series of transactions to recapitalize. The purpose of these
transactions is to simplify the Company's capital structure in anticipation of
this offering and the Company's continued operation as a publicly traded
company. All of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common
Stock and Class C Common Stock, each having par value $.001 per share, of the
Company will be split 65-for-one (the "Stock Split"). In addition, (i) all
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock of the
Company and shares of Class B Common Stock held by persons other than CVC and
certain investors currently or previously affiliated with CVC (together with
CVC, "CVC Investors") will be exchanged (the "Common Stock Conversion") for
shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common
Stock"), (ii) the outstanding shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share
of Triumph Controls, Inc. ("TCI"), a subsidiary of the Company, which are owned
by management of TCI, will be converted into shares of Common Stock (the "TCI
Conversion"), (iii) all outstanding shares of the Company's preferred stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), held by persons other than CVC
Investors, with an aggregate liquidation value plus accumulated dividends to the
date of this Prospectus will be exchanged (the "Preferred Stock Conversion") at
an exchange ratio of 9.2 shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred
Stock (the "Preferred Stock Exchange Ratio") and (iv) all outstanding 14% junior
subordinated promissory notes (the "14% JSDs"), held by persons other than CVC
Investors, and all outstanding 10.5% junior subordinated promissory notes (the
"10.5% JSDs") held by management of TCI (the 14% JSDs and the 10.5% JSDs are
collectively referred to hereafter as the "JSDs"), will be exchanged (referred
to hereafter individually as the "14% JSD Conversion" and the "10.5% JSD
Conversion" and collectively as the "JSD Conversion") at an exchange ratio of
one share of Common Stock for every $17.27 of principal and accrued interest on
the JSDs to the date of this Prospectus (the "JSD Exchange Ratio"). All shares
of Class B Common Stock, Preferred Stock (at the Preferred Stock Exchange Ratio)
and JSDs (at the JSD Exchange Ratio) held by CVC Investors will be exchanged for
1,023,567 shares of Common Stock and 4,145,060 shares of Class D Common Stock,
par value $.001 per share ("Class D Common Stock"), of the Company (the "CVC
Exchange"). CVC Investors

5
<PAGE>
will receive the shares of Class D Common Stock pursuant to the CVC Exchange in
order to remain in compliance with certain regulatory requirements relating to
investments in small businesses. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Class D
Common Stock." The Common Stock of TCI owned by TFX Equities, Inc., an affiliate
of Teleflex Incorporated ("Teleflex"), will remain outstanding as a 4.0%
minority interest in TCI. The exchange ratios for the Preferred Stock and the
JSDs will be adjusted to give effect to the accumulation of dividends on the
Preferred Stock and the accrual of interest on the JSDs, respectively, to the
date of the exchange and to give effect to the initial public offering price of
the Common Stock. The outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class D Common
Stock are collectively referred to herein as the "Shares." The Common Stock
Conversion, the Preferred Stock Conversion, the JSD Conversion and the TCI
Conversion are collectively referred to herein as the "Conversions." Except as
otherwise indicated, all share numbers in this Prospectus assume that the
Conversions and the CVC Exchange occurred on October 24, 1996.

RISK FACTORS

IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS, THE FOLLOWING
FACTORS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY IN EVALUATING AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK OFFERED BY THIS PROSPECTUS.

DEPENDENCE ON AVIATION INDUSTRY. A substantial percentage of the Company's
gross profit and operating income is derived from its aviation group. The
Company's aviation operations are focused on designing, engineering and
manufacturing aircraft components on new aircraft and performing repair and
overhaul services on existing aircraft and aircraft components. Therefore, the
Company's business is directly affected by economic factors and other trends
that affect its customers in the aviation industry, including a possible
decrease in outsourcing by aircraft operators and OEMs or projected market
growth that may not materialize or be sustainable. When such economic and other
factors adversely affect the aviation industry, they tend to reduce the overall
customer demand for the Company's products and services, thereby decreasing the
Company's operating income. There can be no assurance that economic and other
factors that might affect the aviation industry will not have an adverse impact
on the Company's results of operations. See "Business -- Industry Overview and
Trends."

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND INTEGRATION OF ACQUIRED BUSINESSES. A key element
of the Company's strategy has been, and continues to be, internal growth and
growth through the acquisition of additional companies engaged in the aviation
industry. In order to grow internally, the Company will be required to make
significant capital expenditures. The Company's ability to grow by acquisition
is dependent upon, and may be limited by, the availability of suitable
acquisition candidates and capital, and by restrictions contained in the
Company's revolving and term credit facility (the "Credit Facility") and its
other financing arrangements. In addition, growth by acquisition involves risks
that could adversely affect the Company's operating results, including
difficulties in integrating the operations and personnel of acquired companies,
the potential amortization of acquired intangible assets and the potential loss
of key employees of acquired companies. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain the capital necessary to pursue its internal
growth and acquisition strategy, consummate acquisitions on satisfactory terms
or, if any such acquisitions are consummated, satisfactorily integrate such
acquired businesses into the Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources" and "Business -- Company Strategy."

COMPETITION. There are numerous competitors of the Company in both the
aviation services and metals processing and distribution industries. Competition
in the aviation industry comes from three primary sources: major commercial
airlines, many of which operate their own maintenance and overhaul units; OEMs,
which manufacture, repair and overhaul their own components; and other
independent service companies. The Company's principal competitors in the metals
industry include national and regional steel mills, other steel service centers,
steel erection companies and pre-engineered building manufacturers. Certain of
the Company's competitors in both aviation and metals have substantially greater
financial and other resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that
competitive pressures in either industry will not materially and adversely
affect the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. See
"Business -- Competition."

GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND INDUSTRY OVERSIGHT. The aviation industry is
highly regulated in the United States by the FAA and in other countries by
similar agencies. The Company must be certified by the FAA and, in some cases,
by individual OEMs in order to engineer and service parts and components used in
specific aircraft models. If material authorizations or approvals were revoked
or suspended, the operations of the Company would be adversely affected. New and
more stringent government regulations may be adopted, or industry oversight
heightened, in the future and such new regulations, if enacted, or any industry
oversight, if heightened, may have an adverse impact on the Company. See
"Business -- Government Regulation."

FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS. The Company's overall operating results
are affected by many factors, including the timing of orders from large
customers and the timing of expenditures to manufacture parts and purchase
inventory in anticipation of future sales of products and services. A large
portion of the Company's operating expenses are fixed. Because several operating
divisions and subsidiaries of

9
<PAGE>
the Company typically do not obtain long-term purchase orders or commitments
from their customers, they must anticipate the future volume of orders based
upon the historic purchasing patterns of their customers and upon their
discussions with customers as to their future requirements. Cancellations,
reductions or delays in orders by a customer or group of customers could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."

DEPENDENCE OF CERTAIN BUSINESSES ON KEY CUSTOMERS. Although no individual
customer directly accounted for more than 5% of the Company's combined net sales
during the last three years, certain of the Company's operating divisions and
subsidiaries have significant customers, the loss of whom could have a material
adverse effect on their businesses.

TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS. The aviation industry is constantly undergoing
development and change, and accordingly, it is likely that new products,
equipment and methods of repair and overhaul service will be introduced in the
future. In order to keep pace with any new developments, the Company may need to
expend significant capital to purchase new equipment and machines or to train
its employees in the new methods of production and service. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in developing new products or that
such capital expenditures will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

RISKS REGARDING THE COMPANY'S INVENTORY. The Company offers to maintain and
manage inventories of aircraft components and other products for certain of its
customers. In addition, certain of the Company's customers require the Company
to maintain and manage their inventories. If this inventory is not used by the
Company, because the Company ceases to supply such customers with the related
products or services or because such components or other products become
obsolete, the Company will not realize any income to offset the expenses
incurred by the Company to acquire and maintain such inventory.

RELIANCE ON SKILLED PERSONNEL. From time to time certain of the Company's
operating divisions and subsidiaries have experienced difficulties in attracting
and retaining skilled personnel to design, engineer, manufacture or repair and
overhaul sophisticated aircraft components. The ability of the Company to
operate successfully could be jeopardized if the Company is unable to attract
and retain a sufficient number of skilled personnel.

EXISTENCE OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS. Several of the Company's
subsidiaries are parties to collective bargaining agreements with labor unions,
of which one agreement will expire in February 1997 and the remaining agreements
will expire over the next several years. In the aggregate, under those
agreements the Company currently employs approximately 200 full-time employees,
and from time to time employs up to an additional 150 temporary employees for
its steel erection business, all of whom are members of labor unions. Currently,
on a pro forma basis, approximately 15% of the Company's permanent employees are
represented by labor unions and approximately 21.9% of the aviation group's
revenues and 89.4% of the metals group's revenues are derived from the operating
divisions and subsidiaries a portion of whose employees are unionized. The
Company's inability to negotiate acceptable contracts with these unions could
result in strikes by the affected workers and increased operating costs as a
result of higher wages or benefits paid to union members. If the unionized
workers were to engage in a strike or other work stoppage, or other employees
were to become unionized, the Company could experience a significant disruption
of its operations and higher ongoing labor costs, which could have an adverse
effect on the Company's business and results of operations. See "Business --
Employees."

CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS. Upon completion of this offering, CVC,
through the exercise of the Warrant held by an affiliate of CVC and the
conversion of shares of Class D Common Stock, will own or have the right to
acquire 52.9% of the outstanding Common Stock. The Company's executive officers
will own an aggregate of 6.6% of the outstanding Common Stock. After this
offering, if CVC and the

10
<PAGE>
Company's executive officers act together, they will be able to control the
election of a majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors and,
therefore, to control the business, policies and affairs of the Company. See
"Principal Stockholders."

PRODUCT LIABILITY; CLAIMS EXPOSURE. The Company's overall operations expose
it to potential liabilities for personal injury or death as a result of the
failure of an aircraft component that has been serviced by the Company, the
failure of an aircraft component designed or manufactured by the Company or the
irregularity of metal products processed or distributed by the Company. While
the Company believes that its liability insurance is adequate to protect it from
such liabilities and while no material claims have been made against the
Company, no assurance can be given that claims will not arise in the future or
that such insurance coverage will be adequate. Additionally, there can be no
assurance that insurance coverage can be maintained in the future at an
acceptable cost. Any such liability not covered by insurance or for which third
party indemnification is not available could have a material adverse effect on
the financial condition of the Company. See "Business -- Legal Proceedings."

POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES. The Company's business
operations and facilities are subject to a number of federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations. Although management believes that the
Company's operations and facilities are in material compliance with such laws
and regulations, there can be no assurance that future changes in such laws,
regulations or interpretations thereof or the nature of the Company's operations
will not require the Company to make significant additional capital expenditures
to ensure compliance in the future. Certain Company facilities are currently the
subject of environmental remediation activities, the cost of which is subject to
indemnification provided by Alco in connection with the acquisition by the
Company of certain of the businesses of Alco. See "Historical Background." One
of these facilities is connected with a site included on the National Priorities
List of Superfund sites maintained by the Environmental Protection Agency (the
"EPA"). Another of these facilities is located on a site included in EPA's
database of potential Superfund sites. The Alco indemnification covers both (i)
the costs and claims associated with all of these environmental remediation
activities and liabilities, and (ii) the costs of unidentified environmental
liabilities that arise from conditions or activities existing at facilities
acquired from Alco prior to their acquisition from Alco and that are identified
before July 22, 2000. For a more detailed description of the Alco
indemnification, see "Business -- Environmental Matters." Another of the
Company's facilities leased from Teleflex is located on a site placed on the
EPA's National Priorities List prior to its acquisition by the Company, and is
subject to indemnification provided by Teleflex for environmental liabilities
arising from activities or conditions existing at this facility prior to the
Company's acquisition. The Company does not maintain environmental liability
insurance, and if the Company were required to pay the expenses related to these
environmental liabilities, such expenses could have a material adverse effect on
the Company. See "Business -- Environmental Matters."

NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET; DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE. Prior to this
offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock of the Company.
The initial public offering price of the Common Stock has been determined in
negotiations among the Company and the representatives of the Underwriters (the
"Representatives"). See "Underwriting" for a discussion of the factors
considered in determining the initial public offering price. There can be no
assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained following
this offering. The stock market has experienced from time to time significant
price and volume fluctuations.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO CHANGES IN CONTROL. The Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws contain provisions,
including cumulative voting, that may have the effect of discouraging certain
transactions involving an actual or threatened change of control of the Company.
In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company has the authority to issue up
to 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series in connection with
the purchase by the Company of the assets or stock of another corporation or the
merger of the Company with or into another corporation, and to fix the
preferences, rights and limitations of any such series without stockholder
approval. See "Description of Capital Stock" for a description of these
provisions. Cumulative voting and the ability to issue

11
<PAGE>
Preferred Stock could have the effect of discouraging unsolicited acquisition
proposals or making it more difficult for a third party to gain control of the
Company, or otherwise could adversely affect the market price of the Common
Stock.

DILUTION. Investors in this offering will experience immediate and
substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the shares of Common
Stock purchased in this offering. The new investors will experience dilution in
net tangible book value per share of $13.72. See "Dilution."

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. As of the date of this Prospectus, in
addition to the 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to this
offering, 782,256 restricted shares of Common Stock and 214,149 restricted
shares of Class D Common Stock upon conversion to Common Stock, held by current
stockholders, will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the

affiliates, 143,630 shares of Common Stock held less than two years by
non-affiliates and 3,930,911 shares of Class D Common Stock held by affiliates
are restricted securities under Rule 144 and will not be eligible for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 beginning 90 days after the date of this Prospectus. Sales
of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public market following
the date of this Prospectus could adversely affect the market price for the
Common Stock. The Company and its executive officers, directors and all of its
stockholders, who beneficially own 6,749,588 shares in the aggregate, have
agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, any shares
of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or
exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock, for a period of 180 days after the
date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of Alex. Brown & Sons
Incorporated. The Company also has granted the Warrant. Shares issued upon
exercise of the Warrant will be restricted securities under Rule 144. Shares
issued upon exercise of the Warrant will be subject to the 180-day lock-up
agreement. Additionally, CVC and its affiliates ("CVC Affiliates") owning an
aggregate of 970,687 shares of Common Stock and 3,930,911 shares of Class D
Common Stock (upon conversion into Common Stock), all of whom are subject to the
180-day lock-up agreements, have the right to demand two registrations of their

have the right to demand an unlimited number of registrations on Form S-3 at the
Company's expense. In addition, the CVC Affiliates, the holder of the Warrant
and certain members of management of the Company have the right, subject to
certain limitations, to have their shares of Common Stock included in future
registered public offerings of securities of the Company at its expense. See
"Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The Company was formed by members of management and CVC to acquire certain
businesses and assets from Alco in the Acquisition. In connection with the
Acquisition, 19 members of management contributed capital in the aggregate
amount of approximately $1.1 million and CVC, an institutional investor,
contributed capital in the aggregate amount of approximately $6.9 million. On
the date of this Prospectus, the securities of these members of management and
CVC and its affiliates are valued at $26.6 million and $100.3 million,
respectively. The Board of Directors has not declared or paid dividends on the
Company's outstanding classes of common stock since the Acquisition. See
"Certain Transactions" and "Direct Sale" for a description of transactions
between the Company and certain members of management or CVC and its affiliates.

In July 1993, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets relating
to Alco's aviation, metals processing and paper converting businesses for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $115.2 million, including a
subordinated promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $13.5 million
(the "Alco Note"). See "Certain Transactions." For further information regarding
the Acquisition, see Note 1 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

The businesses acquired from Alco as part of the Acquisition included a
major portion of the Company's aviation operations and its entire metals
operations, as well as Quality Park Products, Inc. ("Quality Park"), a paper
converting business. Following the Acquisition, the Company determined to focus
its efforts on its core businesses and, after restructuring, sold Quality Park
in March 1996 to Mail-Well I Corporation ("Mail-Well") for approximately $27.4
million in cash, and the assumption by Mail-Well of certain liabilities.

As part of the Company's strategy to grow its aviation businesses, the
Company has completed three material acquisitions since the Acquisition:

In October 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets,
including the name, and assumed certain liabilities of, Air Lab, Inc. ("Air
Lab"), for aggregate consideration of approximately $2.2 million, plus
additional amounts to be paid through the year 2000, as consideration for a
non-competition agreement entered into by the seller and certain of its
stockholders and as consideration for a consulting agreement entered into by the
seller to provide marketing and advisory services. Air Lab services instruments
and avionics for the commercial aviation industry.

In January 1996, the Company acquired all of the assets and assumed certain
of the liabilities of TCI, formerly a division of Teleflex, for aggregate
consideration of approximately $36.5 million, including a 10.5% subordinated
promissory note in the principal amount of $5.5 million (the "Teleflex Note").
The Company also assumed liabilities and incurred transaction related costs
totalling $3.6 million. TCI also sold shares of Common Stock of TCI,
representing a 10% minority interest in TCI (convertible to the Company's Common
Stock at the Company's option), and 10.5% JSDs in an aggregate principal amount
of $800,000 to an affiliate of Teleflex in payment of a financing fee and to
certain members of management of TCI in consideration for cash and
confidentiality and non-competition agreements. As part of the acquisition, the
Company also granted to the president of TCI a purchase option to purchase
shares of Class A Common Stock which will be exchanged into 19,500 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.87 per share and issued 14% JSDs which
will be exchanged into 1,540 shares of Common Stock at the JSD Exchange Ratio.
This purchase option was exercised on September 17, 1996. TCI manufactures and
services mechanical and electromechanical controls for various end users,
primarily in the aviation industry.

In July 1996, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of
Advanced Materials Technologies, Inc. ("AMTI"). The aggregate consideration for
the AMTI acquisition was approximately $7.5 million in cash paid at closing plus
a total of approximately $3.7 million to be paid through the year 2002 as
consideration for a confidentiality and non-competition agreement entered into
by one of the former owners of AMTI. In addition, the Company assumed certain
liabilities and incurred transaction related costs totalling $10.6 million. The
Company also purchased for approximately $0.5 million certain

13
<PAGE>
real estate leased to AMTI by its principal stockholder and granted to such
stockholder a purchase option to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock which
will be exchanged into 13,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$1.87 per share and issued 14% JSDs which will be exchanged into 1,027 shares of
Common Stock at the JSD Exchange Ratio. This purchase option was exercised on
August 30, 1996. As part of the acquisition, the Company also acquired AMTI's
wholly owned subsidiary, Special Processes of Arizona, Inc. ("SPOA"). AMTI
engages in the repair and manufacture of components for APUs and gas turbine
engines. SPOA engages in the production and application of plasma coating used
primarily by the aviation industry.

For additional information regarding the Company's acquisitions, see
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and Note 3 and Note 17 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds from the sale of the 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock
offered pursuant to this offering and the 125,000 shares offered pursuant to the
Direct Sale are estimated to be approximately $45.3 million ($52.0 million if
the Underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full), (less
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable
by the Company). The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of
this offering to repay $5.5 million of the Alco Note. The principal amount of
the Alco Note is $13.5 million. The Alco Note matures in equal installments on
June 1, 2002 and June 1, 2003, bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and
may be repaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty. The remaining
proceeds will be used to repay the revolving credit facility, which matures on
July 19, 2001, and bears interest, at the option of the Company, at the
fluctuating prime rate or LIBOR plus applicable basis points. On October 24,
1996, an aggregate of approximately $32.7 million was outstanding under the
revolving credit facility, accruing interest at the prime rate of 8.25% per
annum. Amounts repaid on the revolving credit facility may be reborrowed. The
remainder of the net proceeds will be used for working capital and other general
corporate purposes. Pending such uses, the net proceeds will be invested in
short-term, interest-bearing investments.

DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company has paid no dividends on its Common Stock. The Board of
Directors of the Company does not intend to declare any dividends on its Common
Stock in the foreseeable future. Rather, the Company intends, after consummation
of this offering, to retain its earnings, if any, for use in the operation of
its business. The Common Stock and the Class D Common Stock will be treated the
same with respect to any dividends declared by the Board of Directors.
Furthermore, the Company's ability to declare or pay dividends on its Common
Stock is limited by the terms of the Credit Facility and other financing
arrangements. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

DILUTION

The pro forma net tangible book value of the Company's Common Stock as of
June 30, 1996 was $3,921,000 or approximately $0.58 per share. Pro forma net
tangible book value per share represents the amount of the tangible assets of
the Company less intangible assets and total liabilities, divided by 6,712,295
shares of Common Stock outstanding. For purposes hereof, pro forma net tangible
book value and the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding assume the
consummation of the Stock Split, the Conversions, the CVC Exchange and the
conversion by CVC of all shares of Class D Common Stock into shares of Common
Stock on June 30, 1996. See also Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma
Financial Statements.

Pro forma net tangible book value dilution per share represents the
difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of Common Stock in
this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common
Stock immediately after completion of this offering. After giving effect to the
sale of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock in this offering and the sale of
125,000 shares of Common Stock in the Direct Sale and application of the net
proceeds therefrom (after deduction of the underwriting discounts and
commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company) as described
under "Use of Proceeds," the pro forma net tangible book value of the Company at
June 30, 1996 would have been $49,255,000 or $5.28 per share. This represents an
immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $4.70 per share to
existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book
value of $13.72 per share to purchasers of Common Stock in this offering.

The following table illustrates the dilution in pro forma net tangible book
value per share:

this offering, with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock purchased
from the Company, the total consideration paid and the average price per share:

The foregoing computations do not assume exercise of the Warrant to purchase
650,000 shares at an aggregate exercise price of $100.00 but do assume the
exercise of purchase options in August and September 1996. See "Historical
Background." To the extent that shares of Common Stock are issued upon exercise
of the Warrant, the effect would be to increase the pro forma dilution to new
investors to $14.07 per share from $13.72 per share. See "Historical
Background."

</TABLE>

(b) On July 19, 1996, the Company entered into an unsecured five year credit
agreement for a $50.0 million revolving credit facility and a $35.0
million term loan. Proceeds from the new credit agreement were used to
retire the Company's existing revolving credit facility, senior term
loans and senior subordinated notes. The refinancing resulted in interest
savings which are reflected herein.

(c) In conjunction with this offering, the Company has elected to exchange a
portion of the common stock of TCI held by certain minority stockholders
(approximately 5% of the total outstanding) for 41,405 shares of Common
Stock of the Company. In addition, the Company intends to exchange its
JSDs plus accrued interest, and Preferred Stock at liquidation value plus
accumulated dividends, for shares of Common Stock at an assumed initial
public offering price of $16.00 per share (less underwriting discounts
and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company).
As a result of these exchanges 982,073 shares (as of June 30, 1996) of
the Company's stock will be issued to holders of the JSDs and the
Preferred Stock.

(2) Certain amounts, aggregating $3.5 million, were excluded from selling,
general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 1996 as
they related to expenses incurred prior to the acquisitions which are
neither recurring nor indicative of future operations. Corporate expenses
primarily consist of compensation, rent and general costs related to the
operation of the Company's corporate office and other general expenses of
the Company including professional fees.

(3) Adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense reflect the following:
(i) additional depreciation expense in excess of historical amounts of $0.9
million and $0.1 million for the year ended March 31, 1996 and the three
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, due to the write-up of property,
plant and equipment to estimated fair market value and (ii) amortization of
excess cost over net assets acquired (amortized over 25 years) and
amortization of other intangible assets acquired (amortized over a period of
six to 25 years) of $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the year ended March
31, 1996 and $18 thousand and $0.2 million, for the three months ended June
30, 1996.

(4) Adjustments to interest expense for the year ended March 31, 1996 and the
three months ended June 30, 1996 consist of increases of: (i) $3.0 million
and $0.2 million, respectively, for interest incurred under the Company's
revolving credit facilities used to finance the purchases and fund
operations of the acquired companies and amounts incurred pertaining to
actual borrowings under the senior term loans used to purchase the companies
at historical interest rates; (ii) $0.5 million for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1996 for interest incurred related to the subordinated promissory
note and junior subordinated promissory notes arising as a result of the
Acquisitions (acquisition amounts are included in the historical results for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996); (iii) $0.1 million for fiscal year ended
March 31, 1996 for amortization of deferred financing costs, classified as
interest, pertaining to the Company's increase in senior term loans
outstanding as a result of the Acquisitions (acquisition amounts are
included in the historical results for the quarter ended June 30, 1996); and
(iv) $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996
and the three months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, incurred relating to
the interest cost associated with long-term covenants not-to-compete with
the previous owners of certain acquired companies, partially offset by
reductions in interest expense of $2.0 million and $0.5 million relating to
the refinancing described in (1)(b) above and $1.2 million and $0.3 million
relating to the elimination of interest as a result of the JSD Conversion
for the year ended March 31, 1996 and the three months ended June 30, 1996,
respectively.

(5) The tax provision arising from the pro forma adjustments (excluding the
portion of the Company's income attributable to the minority interest's
investment in TCI) is based on the Company's estimated tax rate of 40.0%.

(6) The calculation of shares used in computing income from continuing
operations per share include adjustments for the outstanding Warrant, stock
issued during the period commencing 12 months prior to the initial filing of
the proposed initial public offering at prices below the anticipated public
offering price, the Conversions and the CVC Exchange. For purposes of the
pro forma and earnings per share presentations, the Conversions and the CVC
Exchange are based on an assumed initial offering price of $16.00 per share.
The pro forma as adjusted shares also include the issuance of 2,500,000
shares in connection with this offering and 125,000 shares in connection
with the Direct Sale. See also Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Pro Forma Financial Statements and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

<PAGE>
(7) Adjustments to the pro forma balance sheet include adjustments to record the
purchase of AMTI as though it occurred on June 30, 1996, including the
write-up of fixed assets to estimated fair value and the recording of excess
of cost over net assets acquired and intangible assets acquired, as well as
the assumption of liabilities and debt used to finance the purchase. In
addition, adjustments are made to reflect the extraordinary loss of $1.5
million, net of a tax benefit of $1.0 million related to prepayment
penalties incurred and the write-off of deferred financing fees related to
the existing debt and the additional long-term debt assumed under the
refinancing. Adjustments also give effect to the Conversions and the CVC
Exchange. For purposes of the pro forma presentation, the Conversions and
the CVC Exchange are based on an assumed initial offering price of $16.00
per share. See Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial
Statements.

(8) Adjustments give effect to the sale of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock
pursuant to this offering and the sale of 125,000 shares of Common Stock in
the Direct Sale and the application of the net proceeds therefrom (after
deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses payable by the Company) as set forth in "Use of Proceeds" and
"Capitalization."

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The Company's aviation group designs, engineers, manufactures or repairs and
overhauls aircraft components for commercial airlines and air cargo carriers, as
well as OEMs, on a worldwide basis. The Company's metals group manufactures,
machines, forges, processes and distributes metal products to customers in the
computer, construction, container, farm equipment and office furniture
industries, primarily within North America.

Net sales consist of sales of aircraft components and metal products, as
well as revenues derived from repairing and overhauling aircraft components. Net
sales are recorded when services are performed or when products are shipped,
except for long-term construction contracts entered into by the Company's metals
group, which are recorded on the percentage-of-completion method based on the
relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at
completion. Net sales from long-term construction contracts which are recorded
on the percentage-of-completion method approximated 12% and 11% of total net
sales in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The metals group has recently experienced declining operating margins due to
weakened demand and lower selling prices for flat-rolled steel products,
increased competition for electrogalvanized products and losses associated with
certain major structural steel fabrication projects. In an effort to improve
operating performance in the metals group, the Company closed its metals
fabrication operations during the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

Operating costs consist primarily of cost of products sold, selling, general
and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Selling, general
and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related
benefits to certain administrative employees, marketing, communications and
professional fees.

The Company focuses its acquisition activities on companies engaged in the
aviation products and services industry. This group has historically provided,
and the Company believes that it will continue to provide, higher operating
margins than the metals group.

Within the past 12 months, the Company has completed three acquisitions of
aviation companies and has sold one of its subsidiaries not engaged in the
aviation or metals business.

The acquisition of TCI has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the operating results of TCI have been included for
the three months ended March 31, 1996.

The acquisition of Air Lab has been accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting and, accordingly, the operating results of Air Lab have been
included in consolidated operating results since October 2, 1995.

In July 1996, the Company acquired AMTI. The acquisition was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. The operating results of AMTI will be
included in consolidated operating results from July 31, 1996.

In March 1996, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its paper
converting subsidiary, Quality Park, for approximately $27.4 million in cash,
and the assumption by the purchaser of certain liabilities.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

AVIATION GROUP

NET SALES. Net sales for the aviation group increased by $14.2 million, or
66.8%, to $35.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $21.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. This increase was primarily
due to the additional net sales generated by TCI and Air Lab, acquired in
January 1996 and October 1995, respectively, accounting for an aggregate of
$12.2 million of such increase. Net sales from the remaining operating divisions
and subsidiaries in the aviation group experienced a 9.5% increase due to higher
activity in the repair and overhaul markets and increased orders from OEMs.

COSTS OF PRODUCTS SOLD. Costs of products sold for the aviation group
increased by $7.8 million, or 50.3%, to $23.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 from $15.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. Of
this increase, $7.1 million was associated with net sales generated by TCI and
Air Lab. The remaining operating divisions and subsidiaries experienced a 4.6%
increase in costs of products sold relating to increased sales volume.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the aviation group increased by $6.4
million, or 110.9%, to $12.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996
from $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. Of this increase,
$5.1 million was a direct result of the net sales of TCI and Air Lab, while the
remaining operating divisions and subsidiaries experienced a $1.3 million
increase in gross profit on the higher sales volume. As a percentage of net
sales, gross profit for the aviation group was 34.5% and 27.3% of net sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the aviation group increased by $2.7 million, or
106.6%, to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $2.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. Of this increase, $2.3 million
of the increase was associated with the selling, general and administrative
costs (including costs for engineering personnel) of the acquired businesses,
TCI and Air Lab. The remaining $0.4 million increase was attributable to
compensation and wage increases, reserves for bad debts and increased insurance
costs.

23
<PAGE>
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for the
aviation group increased by $0.5 million, or 110.0%, to $1.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $0.5 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1995. This increase was primarily due to the assets acquired in
connection with the TCI and Air Lab acquisitions.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the aviation group increased by $3.2
million, or 115.1%, to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996
from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. This increase was
primarily due to the operating income generated by TCI and Air Lab, accounting
for $2.8 million of the increase. The balance of the increase is related to
incremental sales volume at the remaining operating divisions and subsidiaries.
As a percentage of net sales, operating income for the aviation group was 16.7%
and 13.0% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30,
1995, respectively.

METALS GROUP

NET SALES. Net sales for the metals group decreased by $1.4 million, or
6.8%, to $19.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $21.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. This decrease was primarily
due to weakened demand and lower selling prices for flat-rolled steel products
processed by the Company. In addition, the Company's electrogalvanized products
experienced greater competition from hot-dipped rolled steel products, primarily
for use in the container market.

COSTS OF PRODUCTS SOLD. Costs of products sold for the metals group
decreased by $0.7 million, or 4.4%, to $15.9 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 from $16.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. This
decrease was primarily due to the decline in the cost of the primary raw
material used by the metals group, flat-rolled steel, and lower costs associated
with lower sales volume.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the metals group decreased by $0.7 million,
or 15.6%, to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $4.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 1995, due to the reasons discussed
above. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit for the metals group was 19.3%
and 21.3% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30,
1995, respectively.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the metals group decreased by $0.1 million, or 2.4%,
to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $3.1 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1995.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for the metals
group was approximately $0.2 million for each of the three months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the metals group decreased by $0.6
million, or 54.7%, to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from
$1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. Nonrecurring costs
associated with the permanent closure of the Company's fabrication operations
during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 also contributed to the decline in
operating income. As a percentage of net sales, operating income for the metals
group was 2.6% and 5.4% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996
and June 30, 1995, respectively.

OVERALL RESULTS

CORPORATE EXPENSES. Corporate expenses, consisting primarily of salaries to
corporate officers and employees, travel and professional fees and expenses,
increased by $0.5 million, or 84.9%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 from $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. This
increase was primarily due to increased professional fees and expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $0.7 million, or 42.9%, to
$2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $1.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1995. This increase was primarily due to increased
debt levels associated with the acquisitions of TCI and Air Lab, the cash
portions of which were financed by borrowings under the Company's credit
agreement.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The effective tax rate was 40.9% for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 and 40.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1995.

INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS. Income from continuing operations
increased by $0.8 million, or 78.4%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. This
increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of TCI and Air Lab and the
overall sales volume increases in the aviation group, partially offset by
reduced net sales in the metals group.

INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. Income from discontinued operations
associated with the Quality Park disposition was $0.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995.

NET INCOME. Net income increased by $0.7 million, or 61.1%, to $1.8 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $1.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1995. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of TCI
and Air Lab and the overall sales volume increases in the aviation group,
partially offset by reduced net sales in the metals group. As a percentage of
net sales, net income was 3.3% and 2.7% of net sales for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

AVIATION GROUP

NET SALES. Net sales for the aviation group increased by $29.5 million, or
41.6%, to $100.2 million for fiscal 1996 from $70.7 million for fiscal 1995.
This increase was primarily due to an $18.4 million increase in net sales for
the operating divisions and subsidiaries in the aviation group, representing a
26.0% increase in net sales over fiscal 1995, and the inclusion of an aggregate
of $11.0 million in net sales for TCI and Air Lab. Increased demand for overhaul
and repair services from the commercial airlines and cargo carriers, as well as
increased orders of aircraft components from OEMs, accounted for the increase in
net sales in the aviation group.

COSTS OF PRODUCTS SOLD. Costs of products sold for the aviation group
increased by $19.2 million, or 37.5%, to $70.6 million for fiscal 1996 from
$51.4 million for fiscal 1995. This increase was primarily due to $6.4 million
of increased costs of products sold associated with net sales generated by TCI
and Air Lab. The remaining increase is associated with the increase in net sales
of the remaining operating divisions and subsidiaries in the aviation group.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the aviation group increased by $10.2
million, or 52.8%, to $29.5 million for fiscal 1996 from $19.3 million for
fiscal 1995. Of this increase, $5.0 million was a result of the increased sales
volume and $0.6 million was a result of improved margins at the operating
divisions and subsidiaries in the aviation group. This increase was also
attributable to the inclusion of $4.6 million of gross profit on the net sales
generated by TCI and Air Lab. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit for the
aviation group was 29.5% and 27.3% of net sales for fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995,
respectively.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the aviation group increased by $4.2 million, or
47.4%, to $12.9 million for fiscal 1996 from $8.8 million for fiscal 1995, due
to increased sales volume and the TCI and Air Lab acquisitions.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for the
aviation group increased by $0.7 million, or 41.2%, to $2.5 million for fiscal
1996 from $1.8 million for fiscal 1995, primarily due to the assets acquired in
connection with the TCI and Air Lab acquisitions.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the aviation group increased by $5.3
million, or 60.6%, to $14.1 million for fiscal 1996 from $8.8 million for fiscal
1995. This increase was assisted by the growth in aircraft production and the
increased outsourcing of repair and overhaul services by commercial aircraft
operators. This increase was also due to the addition of net sales and profits
generated by TCI and Air Lab, as well as the incremental operating income
resulting from increased sales volume. As a percentage of net sales, operating
income for the aviation group was 14.1% and 12.4% of net sales for fiscal 1996
and fiscal 1995, respectively.

<PAGE>
METALS GROUP

NET SALES. Net sales for the metals group decreased by $6.8 million, or
7.3%, to $86.6 million for fiscal 1996 from $93.5 million for fiscal 1995. This
decrease was primarily due to weakened demand and lower selling prices for
flat-rolled steel products processed by the Company. In addition, the Company's
electrogalvanized products experienced greater competition from hot-dipped
rolled steel products.

COSTS OF PRODUCTS SOLD. Costs of products sold for the metals group
decreased by $5.3 million, or 7.2%, to $69.1 million for fiscal 1996 from $74.4
million for fiscal 1995. This decrease was primarily due to the reduced sales
volume and lower costs of raw materials.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the metals group decreased by $1.5 million,
or 7.9%, to $17.5 million for fiscal 1996 from $19.0 million for fiscal 1995,
due to the reasons discussed above. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit
for the metals group was 20.2% and 20.3% of net sales for fiscal 1996 and fiscal
1995, respectively.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the metals group increased by $0.2 million, or 1.4%,
to $11.9 million for fiscal 1996 from $11.7 million for fiscal 1995.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for the metals
group increased by $0.1 million, or 9.1%, to $1.0 million for fiscal 1996 from
$0.9 million for fiscal 1995. This increase was primarily due to depreciation of
certain assets recently placed into service.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the metals group decreased by $1.7
million, or 27.3%, to $4.6 million for fiscal 1996 from $6.4 million for fiscal
1995, due to the reasons discussed above. As a percentage of net sales,
operating income for the metals group was 5.4% and 6.8% of net sales for fiscal
1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively.

OVERALL RESULTS

CORPORATE EXPENSES. Corporate expenses increased by $0.9 million, or 57.0%,
to $2.5 million for fiscal 1996 from $1.6 million for fiscal 1995. This increase
was primarily due to additional incentive compensation, staffing and
professional fees.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $0.7 million, or 11.1%, to
$7.3 million for fiscal 1996 from $6.6 million for fiscal 1995. This increase
was primarily due to increased debt levels associated with the acquisitions of
TCI and Air Lab, the cash portions of which were financed by borrowings under
the Company's credit agreement.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The effective tax rate was 41.6% for fiscal 1996 and
37.3% for fiscal 1995.

INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS. Income from continuing operations
increased by $0.8 million, or 19.0%, to $5.2 million for fiscal 1996 from $4.4
million for fiscal 1995. This increase was primarily due to the net sales
generated by TCI and Air Lab and the overall favorable conditions in the
aviation industry resulting in increased net sales of the Company's products and
services.

INCOME (LOSS) FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. The Company had income from
discontinued operations of $4.5 million in fiscal 1996, principally as a result
of the sale of Quality Park, which resulted in an after-tax gain of $2.5
million, and improved operating results at Quality Park due to the favorable
effects of restructuring efforts. The Company had a loss from discontinued
operations of $2.9 million in fiscal 1995 due to $2.0 million in operating
losses at Quality Park and a $0.9 million loss on the sale of certain assets of
Quality Park.

NET INCOME. Net income increased by $8.2 million, or 540.9%, to $9.7
million for fiscal 1996 from $1.5 million for fiscal 1995. Of this increase,
$7.3 million was attributable to the income from the discontinued Quality Park
operations in fiscal 1996 as compared to the loss at these operations during
fiscal 1995. The increase in fiscal 1996 net income was also attributable to the
strong results of the aviation group, partially offset by a decline in
profitability in the metals group. As a percentage of net sales, net income was
5.2% and 0.9% of net sales for fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively.

AVIATION GROUP

NET SALES. Net sales for the aviation group increased by $13.5 million, or
23.5%, to $70.7 million for fiscal 1995 from $57.3 million for the ten months
ended March 31, 1994 (the "1994 period"). This increase was primarily due to the
comparison of 12 months to 10 months. On an annualized basis, the increase in
net sales was $2.0 million, or 2.9%, due to increased sales of products and
services to commercial airlines, partially offset by the loss of a significant
customer at one of the Company's operating divisions.

COSTS OF PRODUCTS SOLD. Costs of products sold for the aviation group
increased by $11.5 million, or 28.7%, to $51.4 million for fiscal 1995 from
$39.9 million for the 1994 period. This increase was primarily due to the 12
month to 10 month comparison. On an annualized basis, the increase was $3.5
million, or 7.2%, resulting from higher sales volume.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the aviation group increased by $2.0
million, or 11.6%, to $19.3 million for fiscal 1995 from $17.3 million for the
1994 period. This increase was primarily due to the 12 month to 10 month
comparison. On an annualized basis, gross profit decreased by $1.5 million, or
7.0%. On an annualized basis, as a percentage of net sales, gross profit for the
aviation group was 27.3% and 30.2% of net sales for fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994,
respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin on increased net sales was
primarily the result of the loss of a customer at one of the Company's higher
margin operations.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the aviation group increased by $2.0 million, or
28.9%, to $8.8 million for fiscal 1995 from $6.8 million for the 1994 period.
The increase was primarily due to the 12 month to 10 month comparison. On an
annualized basis, such expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 7.4%.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for the
aviation group increased by $0.4 million, or 29.1%, to $1.8 million for fiscal
1995 from $1.4 million for the 1994 period. This increase was primarily due to
the 12 month to 10 month comparison. On an annualized basis, the depreciation
and amortization increased $0.1 million, or 7.6%, resulting from depreciation
recorded on certain assets recently placed into service.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the aviation group was $8.8 million
and $9.1 million for fiscal 1995 and the 1994 period, respectively. On an
annualized basis, there was a decrease in operating income of $2.2 million, or
19.9% for fiscal 1995, primarily as a result of the loss of a significant
customer at one of the Company's operating divisions. As a percentage of net
sales, annualized operating income for the aviation group was 12.4% and 16.0% of
net sales for fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994, respectively.

METALS GROUP

NET SALES. Net sales for the metals group increased by $20.7 million, or
28.5%, to $93.5 million for fiscal 1995 from $72.7 million for the 1994 period.
This increase was primarily due to the 12 month to 10 month comparison. On an
annualized basis, the increase in net sales was $6.2 million, or 7.1%. This
increase was due to several factors, including increases in net sales of
containers for the agricultural industry and steel products for the housing
market, which accounted for approximately $4.2 million of such increase, and
additional structural steel fabrication and erection business, which accounted
for the remaining $2.0 million.

COSTS OF PRODUCTS SOLD. Costs of products sold for the metals group
increased by $17.3 million, or 30.2%, to $74.4 million for fiscal 1995 from
$57.2 million for the 1994 period. This increase was primarily due to the 12
month to 10 month comparison. On an annualized basis, costs of products sold
increased by $5.9 million, or 8.5%, due to price increases for flat-rolled
steel.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the metals group increased by $3.4 million,
or 22.0%, to $19.0 million for fiscal 1995 from $15.6 million for the 1994
period. This increase was primarily due to the 12 month to

27
<PAGE>
10 month comparison. On an annualized basis, gross profit increased by $0.3
million, or 1.7%. On an annualized basis, as a percentage of net sales, gross
profit for the metals group was 20.3% and 21.4% of net sales for fiscal 1995 and
fiscal 1994, respectively.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the metals group increased by $2.1 million, or
21.9%, to $11.7 million for fiscal 1995 from $9.6 million for the 1994 period.
On an annualized basis, the increase was only $0.2 million, or 1.5%.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for the metals
group increased $0.3 million, or 54.2%, to $0.9 million for fiscal 1995 from
$0.6 million for the 1994 period. This increase was partially due to the 12
month to 10 month comparison. On an annualized basis, the increase was $0.2
million, due to new assets placed into service.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the metals group increased by $1.0
million, or 18.7%, to $6.4 million for fiscal 1995 from $5.4 million for the
1994 period. This increase was primarily due to the 12 month to 10 month
comparison. On an annualized basis, there was a decrease in operating income of
$0.1 million, or 1.1%. On an annualized basis, as a percentage of net sales,
operating income for the metals group was 6.8% and 7.4% of net sales for fiscal
1995 and fiscal 1994, respectively.

OVERALL RESULTS

CORPORATE EXPENSES. Corporate expenses were $1.6 million for each of fiscal
1995 and the 1994 period, respectively.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $1.7 million, or 34.3%, to
$6.6 million for fiscal 1995 from $4.9 million for the 1994 period. This
increase was primarily due to the 12 month to 10 month comparison. On an
annualized basis, interest expense increased by $0.7 million due to an increase
in the prime rate.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The effective tax rate was 37.3% for fiscal 1995 and
38.9% for fiscal 1994.

INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS. Income from continuing operations
decreased by $0.5 million, or 11.1%, to $4.4 million for fiscal 1995 from $4.9
million for the 1994 period. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in
profitability in the aviation group resulting from increased competition in the
repair market, loss of a significant customer at one of the Company's operating
divisions and decreases in aircraft production rates.

LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. Loss from discontinued operations was
$2.9 million in fiscal 1995 and $0.5 million for the 1994 period due to losses
at Quality Park. The losses in fiscal 1995 were primarily due to the closure and
sale of a product line within Quality Park's operations and operating losses at
Quality Park.

NET INCOME. Net income decreased by $2.9 million, or 66.0%, to $1.5 million
for fiscal 1995 from $4.4 million for the 1994 period. This decrease was
primarily due to the above factors. On an annualized basis, as a percentage of
net sales, net income was 0.9% and 3.4% of net sales for fiscal 1995 and fiscal
1994, respectively.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 121, "Accounting for the Impairments of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," and SFAS 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The Company does not expect that
adoption of SFAS 121 and 123 will have a material effect on its financial
condition or results of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital needs are generally funded through cash flows
from operations and the Credit Facility. The Company used approximately $6.8
million of cash flows from operating activities, principally for working capital
requirements, for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The Company generated
cash flows of approximately $16.1 million from operating activities for the year
ended March 31, 1996.

On July 19, 1996, the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company
entered into the Credit Facility, an unsecured five year credit facility for a
$50.0 million revolving credit line and a $35.0 million term loan. The Company
guarantees repayment of the loans under the Credit Facility. Both loans bear
interest at either LIBOR plus an applicable margin or the prime rate plus an
applicable margin, at the option of the borrowers. The margin applicable to
LIBOR varies between 0.63% and 1.88% and the margin applicable to the prime rate
varies between 0% and 0.38%, in each case based upon the borrowers' ratio of
total indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and
amortization. In addition, the borrowers are required to pay a commitment fee of
between 0.2% and 0.45% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility based upon
the ratio described above. Principal payments on the term loan of approximately
$1.3 million are made quarterly with a final lump sum payment of approximately
$11.3 million due on July 1, 2001. The borrowers may repay amounts owed under
the Credit Facility or reduce the revolving credit facility commitment without
penalty. Additionally, the borrowers may allocate up to $5.0 million of the
available revolving credit facility for the issuance of letters of credit. The
Credit Facility contains restrictions and covenants applicable to the borrowers
and the Company which include limitations on the ability to incur additional
indebtedness, issue stock options or warrants, make certain restricted payments
and acquisitions, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, sell
substantial portions of its assets and make capital expenditures. The Credit
Facility, the Alco Note and the Teleflex Note prohibit the Company from paying
any dividends or making any distributions on its capital stock, except for the
payment of stock dividends and redemptions of an employee's shares of capital
stock upon termination of employment. At such time as no senior debt, such as
the Credit Facility, is outstanding, the Company is permitted by the Alco Note,
but not by the Teleflex Note, to pay dividends from 50% of excess cash flow.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, upon completion of this offering,
the Company is required to make a capital contribution to the borrowers in the
amount of $15.0 million. The borrowers are required to apply such capital
contribution to make a principal payment of $15.0 million, first to any balance
outstanding on the revolving credit facility and then to the term loan. Amounts
applied to repay the revolving credit facility may be reborrowed. Should the
Company fail to receive at least $30.0 million in proceeds from this offering by
December 31, 1996, the Credit Facility will become secured as the Company is
required to grant the lender a first priority lien and security interest in all
real and personal property owned by the Company at that time. As of October 24,
1996, approximately $17.3 million was available for borrowing under the Credit
Facility.

The proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Facility and the proceeds from
the sale of Quality Park were used to extinguish the outstanding balances of the
revolving credit facility, the senior term loans and the senior subordinated
notes existing at March 31, 1996. The extinguishment of this debt resulted in an
extraordinary loss of approximately $1.5 million, net of an income tax benefit
of approximately $1.0 million.

The Company's outstanding subordinated promissory notes consist of two
notes, the Alco Note and the Teleflex Note in the aggregate principal amount of
$13.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Approximately $5.5 million, or
40.1%, of the Alco Note will be repaid with the proceeds of this offering.

The 14% JSDs are unsecured obligations of the Company which were issued to
CVC Affiliates and certain members of management of the Company. On October 24,
1996, the 14% JSDs aggregated approximately $9.5 million, including principal
and accrued interest, and will be converted into Common Stock immediately prior
to the consummation of this offering.

During 1996, the 10.5% JSDs were issued in the amount of $0.8 million and
are contractually subordinated to all liabilities of TCI and its subsidiaries,
and bear interest at 10.5%. The 10.5% JSDs were issued to TFX Equities, Inc. and
certain members of management of TCI. The 10.5% JSDs are due in equal
installments on December 31, 2005 and 2006, although the holders of the 10.5%
JSDs have no right to

29
<PAGE>
demand payment of principal until all superior debt, as defined, has been paid
in full. On October 24, 1996, the 10.5% JSDs owned by members of management of
TCI had an aggregate value of approximately $0.5 million, including principal
and accrued interest, and will be converted into shares of Common Stock
immediately prior to the consummation of this offering. On October 24, 1996, the
10.5% JSDs owned by TFX Equities, Inc. had an aggregate value of approximately
$0.4 million, including principal and accrued interest and will remain
outstanding after the closing of this offering.

Capital expenditures were approximately $0.9 million and $1.9 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 and the year ended March 31, 1996,
respectively, primarily for manufacturing machinery and equipment for the
aviation group. The Company funded these expenditures through cash generated by
operations and borrowings under its credit arrangements. The Company expects
capital expenditures to be approximately $6.0 million for fiscal year ending
March 31, 1997. Of this amount, approximately $3.0 million is expected to be
used to expand capacity at the Company's stretch forming operations and the
remainder will be used for upgrades of information systems, machinery and
equipment, primarily for the aviation group. The Company believes that the cash
proceeds from this offering, together with cash generated by operations and
borrowings under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet anticipated
cash requirements for the next 12 months. There can be no assurance that
additional capital will not be required or that any such additional capital will
be available on reasonable terms, if at all, at such times as may be required by
the Company.

BUSINESS

GENERAL OVERVIEW

The Company designs, engineers, manufactures, repairs and/or overhauls
aircraft components such as mechanical and electromechanical control systems,
aircraft and engine accessories, APUs, avionics and aircraft instruments. The
Company serves a broad spectrum of the aviation industry, including commercial
airlines and air cargo carriers, as well as OEMs, on a worldwide basis.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND TRENDS

According to U.S. Department of Commerce statistics, the annual worldwide
market for aircraft, including components, is approximately $56.7 billion. This
market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 5% to 6% over the next four
years. A recent issue of AVIATION WEEK AND SPACE TECHNOLOGY states that the
global airline industry spends at least $20 billion annually to maintain its
aircraft. The aircraft component production and repair industry is highly
fragmented, consisting of both a limited number of well-capitalized companies,
which offer a broad range of products and services, and a large number of
smaller, specialized companies. The aviation industry has been consolidating at
an increasing pace in recent years, and it is expected that such consolidation
will continue for the foreseeable future.

A number of significant trends are currently affecting the market for the
design, engineering, manufacture, repair and overhaul of aircraft components.
These trends include the following:

INCREASES IN AIR TRANSIT AND AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION. Boeing's 1996 Market
Outlook projects that global air travel will increase by 70% and that the number
of passenger and cargo delivery aircraft in service will increase by 47% through
the year 2005. This trend will be driven, in part, by the anticipated continued
growth of established carriers engaged in the air freight and package delivery
businesses. Average passenger seat miles flown is also expected to increase
significantly over the next few years. Further, many new airlines are expected
to commence operations in the United States and abroad, especially in China and
other countries in Asia, where only a small percentage of the population has
ever flown. Because start-up airlines generally do not invest in the
infrastructure necessary to service their aircraft, such airlines outsource all
or most of their repair and overhaul services. To meet their needs, certain
foreign and many start-up airlines have turned to older aircraft which generally
require more frequent servicing. Further, as aging aircraft are retired, new
aircraft production is increasing. The number of surplus aircraft is expected to
significantly decline while new aircraft production is expected to increase over
the next several years. The continued growth in air transit and aircraft
production will increase the demand for aircraft component purchases and
repairs.

INCREASED OUTSOURCING BY AIRCRAFT OPERATORS AND OEMS. Aircraft operators
have come under increasing pressure to reduce both operating and capital costs
associated with providing aviation services. While several of the expenditures
incurred by aircraft operators are beyond their direct control, such as fuel
prices and labor costs, aircraft operators seeking cost reductions have
increased purchases of certain components from third parties and have outsourced
repair and overhaul functions. Aircraft components sold by third party suppliers
and aircraft components that have been repaired and overhauled are generally
less expensive than new aircraft components sold by OEMs. In addition, OEMs are
increasingly becoming "assemblers" of aviation products by outsourcing more
manufacturing and repair functions to third parties. In this regard, the Company
supplies many OEMs with aircraft components and subassemblies, in addition to
performing repair and overhaul services. In addition, as consolidation in the
aviation services industry continues, aviation services consumers are requiring
vendors to offer a broader range of services including, in some instances,
inventory maintenance and management services. The Company believes that its
broad array of aviation products and services and its reputation for quality and
timely and reliable delivery will position the Company to continue to capitalize
on the outsourcing trend. The Company anticipates that increased reliance on
outsourcing will continue to cause consolidation in the industry since only
those suppliers with extensive capacities and adequate capital will secure such
agreements with OEMs and aircraft operators.

31
<PAGE>
REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF APPROVED SUPPLIERS AND VENDORS. In order to
reduce purchasing costs, streamline purchasing decisions and have greater
control over quality, purchasing departments of OEMs and aircraft operators have
been reducing the number of approved suppliers and vendors. Recently, several
OEMs and aircraft operators have reduced their supplier and vendor lists from as
many as 50 to a core group of five to ten "mega-suppliers" or "mega-vendors" who
have the size and capacity to meet their needs. The Company has secured a
position on such lists of a number of OEMs and airlines. The Company believes
that this trend will continue in the future and that, due to its established
market presence and reputation for quality, the Company will continue to be
selected as an approved supplier and vendor. See "- Government Regulation."

INCREASED MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. Under regulations
promulgated by the FAA and similar agencies in other countries, including the
Joint Aviation Authority (the "JAA") and the Civil Aviation Administration of
China (the "CAAC"), as well as guidelines established by OEMs and aircraft
operators, when an aircraft component fails to perform within certain prescribed
limits or after logging a prescribed number of flight hours, the aircraft
component must be brought to a repair facility certified by the FAA or similar
agency of a foreign nation for various types of designated service or
replacement. The FAA has changed the nature of the licenses that it grants, from
the grant of broad licenses for aircraft accessories or instruments within broad
classifications to more limited licenses covering specific parts within more
narrow classifications. The Company holds many perpetual broad licenses that
will continue unless abandoned, suspended or revoked. In addition, aircraft
components require regular maintenance and inspection and replacement of
"life-limited" components. The trend toward more stringent maintenance
requirements and more frequent maintenance and overhaul has increased the size
of the market for the repair of such components, because the use of new
components is not always cost effective. In addition, a potential change in FAA
regulations would require aircraft repair stations and others to implement and
follow internal maintenance and safety requirements in addition to FAA
regulations. The Company believes that, because of its broad licenses and
long-standing emphasis on quality control, it will benefit from the evolving
maintenance and safety standards.

INCREASED EMPHASIS ON COMPONENT TRACEABILITY. Because of concerns regarding
the use of unapproved aircraft spare parts, regulatory authorities have
increased the level of documentation that must be maintained on spare parts.
This requirement has been extended by OEMs and aircraft operators to the vendors
of spare parts. The high cost of required technology to compete effectively in
the redistribution market has made entry into and survival in the aircraft spare
parts redistribution market increasingly difficult and expensive. The Company
has implemented technology to enable it to meet these more stringent
traceability requirements and intends to continue to do so in the future.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

The Company believes that it is well positioned to take advantage of trends
affecting the market for the design, engineering, manufacture, repair and
overhaul of aircraft components due to:

BROAD ARRAY OF PRODUCT AND SERVICES. The Company offers the aviation
industry a consolidated point of purchase for a broad array of aviation products
and services. The Company designs, engineers and manufactures aircraft
components to fulfill the particular needs and requirements of its customers,
including electromechanical controls for McDonnell Douglas and fuselage
structural components for the 777 model aircraft for Boeing. In certain cases,
principally at TCI, the Company retains the proprietary rights to these designs
and, accordingly, the customer will rely on the Company to provide service on
such aircraft components at every stage of their useful lives, including the
repair and overhaul or replacement of such components. The Company also
manufactures aviation components according to its customers' specifications. In
addition, the Company performs repair and overhaul services for customers on
various aviation components manufactured by third parties such as AlliedSignal.
In addition, the Company offers to maintain and manage inventories of aircraft
components and other products for certain of its customers. In certain
instances, the Company's customers require it to maintain and manage their
inventories.

32
<PAGE>
GOVERNMENT CERTIFICATIONS. The Company operates nine FAA-certified repair
stations and has been granted licenses from the FAA and foreign regulatory
counterparts, including the JAA and the CAAC, to perform repair and overhaul
services on broad classifications of aircraft instruments and accessories.
Without such broad certifications and licenses, which are often expensive and
time-consuming to obtain and involve extensive audit procedures, other companies
may not offer these products and services, thereby constituting a significant
barrier to entry. See "- Government Regulation." In addition, the Company holds
two exclusive licenses issued by the FAA which permit the Company to design,
engineer, repair, test and release into service without FAA approval certain
products to its own specifications for certain aircraft components and therefore
to compete directly with OEMs with respect to such components. These exclusive
licenses, known as SFAR 36 certifications, enable the Company to offer, on a
proprietary basis, certain repaired parts relating to various aircraft
accessories such as APUs and constant speed drives to its customers at a lower
cost than other companies that must purchase replacement parts from third
parties.

EMPHASIS ON QUALITY CONTROL. The Company incurs significant expenses to
maintain the most stringent quality control of its products and services. In
addition to domestic and foreign governmental regulations, OEMs, commercial
airlines and other customers require that the Company satisfy certain
requirements relating to the quality of its products and services. The Company
has continually met or exceeded these requirements, and has successfully
completed many audits conducted on a regular basis by the Coordinated Agency for
Supplier Evaluation ("C.A.S.E."), a consortium of United States airlines. As a
C.A.S.E. listed vendor, the Company is reviewed on a regular basis for quality
and efficiency. In addition, the Company conducts voluntary thorough
self-auditing, utilizing inspectors from its various companies to audit other
companies in the aviation group. The Company also performs testing and
certification procedures on all of the products that it designs, engineers,
manufactures, repairs and overhauls, and maintains detailed records to ensure
traceability of the production of and service on each aircraft component. The
Company believes that its emphasis on quality control has enabled it to obtain
many of the FAA licenses it enjoys, including its exclusive SFAR 36
certifications. The expense required to institute and maintain the Company's
quality control procedures represents a barrier to entry.

BROAD CUSTOMER BASE. Due to the Company's broad array of products and
services and its emphasis on quality control and timely delivery, the Company's
customers include virtually all of the world's major commercial airlines and an
increasing number of the most widely recognized air cargo carriers including
Federal Express and United Parcel Service, and OEMs such as Boeing, McDonnell
Douglas, AirBus and AlliedSignal. The Company expects that its customer base
will continue to strengthen and broaden with increased cross-selling efforts by
the Company of its various products and services.

COMPANY STRATEGY

The Company intends to grow its aviation business through:

EXPANSION OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. The Company will continue to introduce
new aviation products and services, to take advantage of the growing aviation
industry and the increasing demand for aviation products and services. In an
effort to expand its existing array of products and services and to capture
additional repair and overhaul business, the Company plans to expand, as
appropriate, its program for the distribution and inventory management of third
party aircraft components. The Company will also expand its assembly and
subassembly capabilities on certain aircraft components. By broadening its
products and services, the Company intends to further expand its position as a
consolidated point of purchase to the aviation industry, capitalizing on the
increasing trend toward outsourcing and the reduction by aircraft operators and
OEMs of the number of approved suppliers and vendors.

33
<PAGE>
INCREASED INTERNATIONAL MARKETING. The Company will continue to take
advantage of the expanding international market for aviation products and
services as worldwide air travel escalates and foreign nations, particularly
China and other countries in Asia, purchase used aircraft that require more
frequent repair and maintenance. The Company currently supplies products and
services to virtually every major commercial airline in the world and retains
independent sales representatives in a number of foreign countries. In addition,
the Company participates each year in several international trade shows,
including the Paris Air Show and the Singapore Air Show. The Company intends to
build on its existing international presence through foreign acquisitions and
continued market penetration.

CAPITALIZING ON AVIATION GROUP AFFILIATION. Utilizing the group affiliation
of the Company's operating divisions and subsidiaries, the Company plans to
increase cross-selling of its various capabilities to its customers. For
example, one of the Company's operating divisions has recently begun
distributing certain electromechanical controls manufactured by a subsidiary of
the Company. The Company's operating divisions and subsidiaries will continue to
share independent sales representatives and jointly bid on projects where
appropriate, while still maintaining their individual identities.

GROWTH THROUGH ACQUISITIONS. The Company expects to continue its growth
through acquisitions of other companies, assets or product lines that add to or
complement the Company's existing aviation products and services. The Company
has successfully completed three acquisitions in the last 12 months. The
acquisition of TCI is an example of the Company seeking to add to its existing
product offering (in this case, mechanical and electromechanical controls)
through the acquisition of an established company in the industry. AMTI and Air
Lab represent acquisitions that expand both the Company's existing aviation
products and services and its customer base. Because of the fragmented nature of
much of the market for aircraft products and services, the Company believes that
many additional acquisition opportunities exist in the aviation industry. The
Company does not currently have any pending or probable acquisitions.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

The Company's aviation products and services may generally be divided into
three categories: structural components, instrument and flight controls and
operational components. The following is a description of some of the products
and services offered by the Company in each of these three categories:

STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS. The Company performs stretch forming, bending, die
forming, machining, welding, assembly and other fabrication on aircraft wings,
fuselages and skins for aircraft produced by OEMs such as McDonnell Douglas and
Boeing. The Company also manufactures metallic and composite bonded honeycomb
assemblies for fuselage, wings and flight control surface parts for commercial
airlines and other aircraft operators.

INSTRUMENT AND FLIGHT CONTROLS. The Company designs and engineers
mechanical and electromechanical controls such as remote valve operators and
push/pull controls ranging from simple vent controls to sophisticated
flight-critical engine controls for OEMs and commercial airlines. The Company's
designs and engineering for such controls are proprietary because they are not
sold to the OEM for whom the control is manufactured. Consequently, the OEM must
rely on the Company to repair or replace such component. The Company also
performs repair and overhaul services, and supplies spare parts, for various
types of cockpit instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial airlines
on a worldwide basis.

OPERATIONAL COMPONENTS. The Company performs complete repair and overhaul
services on APUs for both commercial airlines and OEMs. APUs are used to provide
power for all non-propulsion aircraft

34
<PAGE>
functions such as air conditioning, lights and other electrical functions. The
Company also repairs and overhauls aircraft accessories, including constant
speed drives, pneumatic or electrically actuated valves, cabin compressors,
starters and generators, and manufactures refueling booms. Certain of these
components, like the APUs, are repaired pursuant to SFAR 36 certifications.
Finally, the Company provides precision machining services for other operational
components manufactured from refractory and other metals for the aviation and
aerospace industry.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

The Company benefits from its proprietary rights relating to certain
designs, engineering, manufacturing processes and repair and overhaul
procedures. For example, at TCI, the Company designs and engineers flight
control systems and retains the proprietary rights to these designs and
engineering. Accordingly, the customer will rely on the Company to provide
initial and additional components, as well as to redesign, reengineer, replace
or repair and provide overhaul services on such aircraft components at every
stage of their useful lives. In addition, the Company has proprietary rights to
certain of its manufacturing processes. For certain products, the Company's
unique manufacturing capabilities are required by the customer's specifications
or designs, thereby necessitating reliance on the Company for production of such
designed product. The Company also holds several SFAR 36 certifications that
permit it to develop proprietary repair procedures to be used in certain repair
and overhaul processes, enabling the Company to offer the customer a lower cost
alternative to purchasing the OEM's replacement part.

RAW MATERIALS AND REPLACEMENT PARTS

The Company purchases raw materials, primarily consisting of steel and
aluminum coils, sheets and shapes, from various vendors. The Company also
purchases replacement parts which are utilized in its various repair and
overhaul operations. The Company believes that these raw materials and
replacement parts are generally available at competitive prices from numerous
sources.

OPERATING DIVISIONS AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company operates through several operating divisions and subsidiaries
which are divided into two groups: the aviation group and the metals group. The
following chart describes the operations, customer base and certain other
information with respect to the Company's operating divisions and subsidiaries:

METALS PROCESSING AND DISTRIBUTION

The Company's metals group consists of three operating divisions and one
subsidiary with aggregate average operating experience of 56 years. These
businesses include a leading producer of electrogalvanized steel products, a
steel service center specializing in flat rolled steel products and a leading
manufacturer of fuel tanks and hydraulic reservoirs. These entities supply
products to several hundred

36
<PAGE>
manufacturers and other customers in the computer, electronics and agricultural
industries on a regional and national basis. In addition, the Company operates a
business engaged in the erection of structural frameworks for buildings and
bridges in the midwestern United States.

The Company's metals group processes, converts and distributes steel and
steel products on a national basis. The Company produces and distributes
electrogalvanized steel, which can be stamped, formed, welded and painted and
coated steel (including Tribrite-Registered Trademark-, Triclear-Registered
Trademark- and Trichrome-Registered Trademark-) for the electronic and computer
industries. The Company also operates a steel service center specializing in
flat rolled products and their processing, including hot or cold rolled sheet
and coil and galvanized sheet and coil used primarily by the home and office
products and appliance industry. The Company also manufactures fuel tanks and
hydraulic reservoirs for off-highway mobile equipment units, which are sold
primarily to the agricultural industry.

The Company also operates a business engaged in the erection of structural
framework, including steel members and allied materials, for buildings and
bridges, with a specialty in commercial and industrial buildings. The Company
erected the structural framework of Jacobs' Field, the Cleveland Indians' new
baseball stadium, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. These
structural erection services are provided on a project-by-project basis
primarily in the midwestern United States. These projects are generally awarded
on a fixed fee, competitive bid basis.

SALES AND MARKETING

Each of the Company's operating divisions and subsidiaries independently
conducts sales and marketing efforts directed at their respective customers and
industries and, in some cases, collaborate with other operating divisions and
subsidiaries within its group for cross-marketing efforts. Each sales force and
the respective officers of the operating divisions and subsidiaries are
responsible for obtaining new customers and maintaining relationships with
existing customers. Sales and marketing efforts are conducted primarily by
independent regional manufacturer's representatives and in-house personnel. The
Company has approximately 72 independent manufacturer's representatives,
including many representatives in foreign countries, and approximately 56
in-house sales employees. Generally, manufacturer's representatives receive a
commission on sales and the in-house sales personnel receive a base salary plus
commission. Engaging independent sales representatives at the local level
facilitates responsiveness to each customer's changing needs and current trends
in each marketplace in which the Company operates.

The Company's Aviation Council, which is comprised of the presidents of each
of the Company's operating divisions and subsidiaries in the aviation group,
meets periodically to discuss ways to improve sales and cross-marketing
opportunities. The Company has also engaged in innovative marketing efforts
including participation in research groups. The management of each operating
division and subsidiary of the Company also maintains close business
relationships with many customers, thereby furthering the sales and marketing
efforts of their businesses.

A significant portion of the Company's government and defense contracts are
awarded on a competitive bidding basis. The Company generally does not bid or
act as the primary contractor, but will typically bid and contract as a
subcontractor on contracts on a fixed fee basis. The Company generally sells to
its other customers on a fixed fee, negotiated contract or purchase order basis.

BACKLOG

As of June 30, 1996, the Company's aviation group had outstanding purchase
orders representing an aggregate invoice price of approximately $69.4 million,
$17.4 million of which will not be shipped by the Company by fiscal year end. As
of June 30, 1996, the Company's metals group had outstanding purchase orders
representing an aggregate invoice price of approximately $21.3 million, $0.4
million of which will not be shipped by the Company's fiscal year end.

COMPETITION

The aircraft components production and repair industry is highly fragmented,
consisting of both a limited number of well-capitalized companies which offer a
broad range of products and services and a

37
<PAGE>
large number of smaller, specialized companies. The Company believes that the
principal competitive factors in the aviation products and services industry are
quality, turnaround time, overall customer service and price. See "--
Competitive Advantages." The Company believes that it competes favorably on the
basis of the foregoing factors. The Company does not believe that the location
of its repair facilities is a significant factor to its customers in selecting
the Company, as substantially all of the components serviced by the Company are
transported by common carrier to the Company's facilities for service.

The Company competes with third party manufacturers, some of which are
divisions or subsidiaries of OEMs or other large companies in the manufacture of
aircraft components and subassemblies. Competition for the repair and overhaul
of aviation components comes from three primary sources, some with greater
financial and other resources than the Company: OEMs, major commercial airlines
and other independent service companies. Certain major commercial airlines own
and operate their own service centers. Some major airlines have begun to sell
their repair and overhaul services to other aircraft operators. The repair and
overhaul services provided by domestic airlines are primarily for their own
components, although these airlines may outsource a limited amount of repair and
overhaul services to third parties. Foreign airlines that provide repair and
overhaul services typically provide these services for their own components and
for third parties. OEMs also maintain service centers that provide repair and
overhaul services for the components they manufacture. Other independent service
organizations also compete for the repair and overhaul business of other users
of aircraft components.

The Company's principal competitors in the metals industry include national
and regional steel mills, other steel service centers, steel erection companies
and pre-engineered building manufacturers. Some of these competitors have
greater financial and other resources than the Company.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The aviation industry is highly regulated in the United States by the FAA
and in other countries by similar agencies. The Company must be certified by the
FAA and, in some cases, by individual OEMs in order to engineer and service
parts and components used in specific aircraft models. If material
authorizations or approvals were revoked or suspended, the operations of the
Company would be adversely affected. New and more stringent government
regulations may be adopted, or industry oversight heightened, in the future and
such new regulations, if enacted, or any industry oversight, if heightened, may
have an adverse impact on the Company.

The Company must also satisfy the requirements of its customers, including
OEMs, that are subject to FAA regulations, and provide these customers with
products and services that comply with the government regulations applicable to
aircraft components used in commercial flight operations. The FAA regulates
commercial flight operations and requires that aircraft components meet its
stringent standards. In addition, the FAA requires that various maintenance
routines be performed on aircraft components, and the Company currently
satisfies these maintenance standards in its repair and overhaul services.
Several of the Company's operating divisions are FAA-approved repair stations.

Currently, the FAA is granting licenses only for the manufacture or repair
of a specific aircraft component, rather than the broader licenses that have
been granted in the past. The FAA licensing process may be costly and
time-consuming. In order to obtain an FAA license, an applicant must satisfy all
applicable regulations of the FAA governing repair stations. These regulations
require that an applicant have experienced personnel, inspection systems,
suitable facilities and equipment. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate a
need for the license. Due in part to the fact that an applicant must procure
manufacturing and repair manuals from third parties relating to a particular
aircraft component in order to obtain a license with respect to such component,
the application process may be extremely costly for certain applicants.

The license approval processes for the JAA and the CAAC are similarly
stringent, involving potentially lengthy audits conducted by these regulatory
authorities.

38
<PAGE>
The Company's aviation and metals operations are also subject to a variety
of worker and community safety laws. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 ("OSHA") mandates general requirements for safe workplaces for all
employees. In addition, OSHA provides special procedures and measures for the
handling of certain hazardous and toxic substances. Specific safety standards
have been promulgated for workplaces engaged in the treatment, disposal or
storage of hazardous waste. The Company believes that its operations are in
material compliance with OSHA's health and safety requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company's operations are subject to federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulation by government agencies, including the EPA.
Among other matters, these regulatory authorities impose requirements that
regulate the emission, discharge, generation, management, transportation and
disposal of hazardous materials, pollutants and contaminants, govern public and
private response actions to hazardous or regulated substances which may be or
have been released to the environment, and require the Company to obtain and
maintain licenses and permits in connection with its operations. This extensive
regulatory framework imposes significant compliance burdens and risks on the
Company. Although management believes that the Company's operations and its
facilities are in material compliance with such laws and regulations, there can
be no assurance that future changes in such laws, regulations or interpretations
thereof or the nature of the Company's operations will not require the Company
to make significant additional capital expenditures to ensure compliance in the
future.

Certain Company facilities are currently the subject of environmental
remediation activities, the cost of which is subject to indemnification provided
by Alco pursuant to the purchase agreement between Alco and the Company executed
in connection with the Acquisition. One of these facilities is connected with a
site included on the National Priorities List of Superfund sites maintained by
the EPA. Another of these facilities is located on a site included in the EPA's
database of potential Superfund sites. Alco's indemnification covers the Company
for losses the Company might suffer in connection with liabilities and
obligations (and other liabilities and obligations arising out of or in
connection with the Acquisition) arising under environmental, health and safety
laws with respect to operations or use of those facilities prior to their
acquisition by the Company. More specifically, this Alco indemnification covers
both (i) the costs, claims and potential losses associated with environmental
matters identified in the purchase agreement for the Acquisition as the result
of environmental assessments or other disclosures made in connection with the
Acquisition, including the costs, claims and potential losses associated with
all the environmental remediation activities and identified liabilities, and
(ii) the losses connected to environmental liabilities which were not identified
in the purchase agreement and which arise from conditions or activities existing
at the facilities or operations acquired from Alco prior to their acquisition
from Alco, provided that they are identified by the Company to Alco before July
22, 2000. Another of the Company's facilities leased from Teleflex is located on
a site placed on EPA's National Priorities List prior to its acquisition by the
Company, and is subject to indemnification provided by Teleflex for
environmental liabilities arising from activities or conditions existing at this
facility prior to the Company's acquisition. See "Risk Factors -- Potential
Exposure to Environmental Liabilities."

EMPLOYEES

As of July 31, 1996, the Company employed approximately 1,300 persons, of
whom 113 were management employees, 56 were sales and marketing personnel, 155
were technical personnel, 147 were administrative personnel and 829 were
production workers. As of July 31, 1996, approximately 200 employees were
subject to collective bargaining agreements, one of which will expire in
February 1997. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
renegotiate successfully its collective bargaining agreements without any labor
disruptions or that such agreements will be renegotiated on terms favorable to
the Company. The Company has not experienced any material labor-related work
stoppage and considers its relations with its employees to be good.

PROPERTIES

The Company's executive offices are located in Wayne, Pennsylvania, where
the Company leases 5,100 square feet of space. This lease expires in September
2000. In addition, as of September 30, 1996, the Company owned or leased the
following facilities in which its operating divisions and subsidiaries are

The Company believes that its properties are adequate to support its
operations for the foreseeable future.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not presently involved in any material legal proceedings
outside of the ordinary course of business. The Company may in the future be
named as a defendant in lawsuits involving product defects, breach of warranty
or other actions relating to products that it manufactures or products that it
distributes that are manufactured by others. The Company believes that its
potential exposure is adequately covered by its aviation product and general
liability insurance.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

In October 1996, the Board of Directors adopted, and the stockholders
approved, the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Plan"). The 1996 Plan will
become effective upon the closing of this offering. The 1996 Plan provides for
grants of stock options to officers and key employees of the Company, or any of
its operating divisions or subsidiaries, including a director who is also a key
employee. Non-employee directors of the Company are not entitled to participate
in the 1996 Plan. By encouraging stock ownership, the Company seeks to attract,
retain and motivate participants and to encourage such participants to devote
their best efforts to the business and financial success of the Company.

Subject to adjustments in certain circumstances described below, the 1996
Plan authorizes up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to increase of
such number of shares equal to five (5%) percent of any and all Common Stock
sold pursuant to the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters, for
issuance pursuant to the terms thereof. If and to the extent that options
granted under the 1996 Plan expire or are terminated for any reason without
being exercised, or the shares subject to the option are forfeited, the shares
of Common Stock subject to such option again would be available for grant under
the 1996 Plan.

The 1996 Plan is administered and interpreted by the Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to administer and determine
the 1996 Plan including the determination of (i) persons to whom options may be
made under the 1996 Plan, (ii) the type, size and other terms and conditions of
each option, (iii) the time when the options will be granted and the duration of
any applicable exercise or restrictions, including the criteria for vesting and
acceleration, and (iv) other matters as set forth in the 1996 Plan.

43
<PAGE>
Options granted under the 1996 Plan may consist of (i) options intended to
qualify as incentive stock options ("ISOs") within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and (ii) "non-qualified stock
options" that are not intended to so qualify ("NQSOs"). Options may be granted
to any officer or key employee of the Company or its operating divisions and
subsidiaries.

The option price of any ISO granted under the 1996 Plan may not be less than
the fair market value of the underlying share of the Common Stock on the date of
grant. The option price of an NQSO may be greater than, equal to or less than
the fair market value of the underlying shares of Common Stock on the date of
grant. The Compensation Committee will determine the term of each option;
provided, however, that the exercise period may not exceed ten years from the
date of grant. The participants may pay the option price under the 1996 Plan (i)
in cash, (ii) with the approval of the Compensation Committee, by delivering
shares of Common Stock owned by the participant for six months and having a fair
market value on the date of exercise equal to the option price or (iii) by a
combination of the foregoing.

The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 1996 Plan at any time;
provided however, that the Board of Directors may not amend the plan, without
stockholder approval, to (i) increase (except for increases due to adjustments
upon changes in capitalization of the Company) the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock for which options may be granted, (ii) change the effective date,
termination or amendment provisions of the 1996 Plan or (iii) make any other
change for which stockholder approval is required under the rules and
regulations promulgated under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
or the Code. The 1996 Plan will terminate upon the earlier of the tenth
anniversary of its effective date or the date it is terminated by the Board of
Directors.

In October 1996, options to purchase an aggregate of 250,140 shares of
Common Stock were granted to certain members of management and other key
employees of the Company, including options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000
shares granted to the executive officers of the Company, at an exercise price
equal to the initial public offering price. Options granted subsequent to the
date of this Prospectus will be granted at or greater than the fair market value
on the date of grant. Some or all of these options may be ISOs.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into employment agreements with Richard C. Ill and
John R. Bartholdson (as applicable, the "Executive"), effective October 1, 1996,
pursuant to which Messrs. Ill and Bartholdson will serve as President and Chief
Executive Officer, and as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,
respectively, of the Company through September 30, 1999, unless earlier
terminated by the Board of Directors or, in certain circumstances following a
change of control transaction, by the Executive. These agreements provide for an
annual salary to Mr. Ill of not less than $291,200 and to Mr. Bartholdson of not
less than $249,600, plus incentive compensation as determined by the Board of
Directors and comparable benefits and perquisites given to other members of
senior management. Messrs. Ill and Bartholdson are entitled to severance and
other payments following the earlier termination of employment by the Company or
upon termination by the Executive following a change in control of the Company.
The Executive may terminate the employment following a change of control
transaction, if as a result of such change in control, the Executive is required
to accept a material reduction in his duties and responsibilities or a
geographical relocation or the successor company fails to assume the Executive's
employment agreement. In the event of any early termination (other than for
cause or death or disability), Messrs. Ill and Bartholdson are entitled to
receive a severance payment from the Company equal to 24 months salary. Messrs.
Ill and Bartholdson are required to devote substantially all of their time and
effort during normal business hours (reasonable sick leave and vacations
excepted) to the business and affairs of the Company.

All of the Company's executive officers are subject to agreements that
prohibit their competition with the Company for two years following termination
of employment.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

GENERAL

The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 15,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, 6,000,000 shares of Class D Common
Stock, par value $.001 per share, and 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share. Upon completion of this offering, the Company will have
outstanding 5,229,528 shares of Common Stock (5,604,528 if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full), 4,145,060 shares of Class D Common
Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock. As of October 24, 1996, there would be
approximately 40 holders of Common Stock and 13 holders of Class D Common Stock.

COMMON STOCK

The holders of Common Stock are generally entitled to one vote for each
share held on all matters voted upon by stockholders. Subject to the rights of
any then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock
are entitled to such dividends as may be declared at the discretion of the Board
of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Holders of Common Stock
are entitled to share ratably in the net assets of the Company upon liquidation
after payment or provision for all liabilities and any preferential liquidation
rights of any Preferred Stock then outstanding. The holders of Common Stock have
no preemptive rights to purchase securities of the Company. Shares of Common
Stock are not subject to any redemption provisions and are not convertible into
any other securities of the Company. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are,
and the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this offering will be
upon payment therefor, fully paid and non-assessable.

The directors of the Company are elected by the holders of Common Stock
pursuant to cumulative voting, which gives a stockholder the right to cast as
many votes in the aggregate as he is entitled to vote under the Certificate of
Incorporation, multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. A
stockholder may cast all his votes for one director candidate or distribute such
votes among two or more director candidates, as he sees fit. Therefore,
cumulative voting may make it more difficult to change the composition of the
Board of Directors and thereby may discourage or make more difficult an attempt
by a person or group to obtain control of the Company. Any director, or the
entire Board of Directors, may be removed by the stockholders at any time, with
or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote for the election of
directors, except that, if less than the entire board is to be removed, no
director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal
would be sufficient to elect him when cumulatively voted at an election of the
entire board of directors.

The Common Stock has been approved for listing on the NYSE.

CLASS D COMMON STOCK

The rights of holders of Class D Common Stock are identical and entitle the
holders thereof to the same rights, privileges, benefits and notices as the
holders of Common Stock, except that the holders of such shares are not entitled
to vote in the election of directors of the Company. On all other matters voted
upon by the stockholders, the holders of Common Stock and the Class D Common
Stock vote together as a class, except as provided by law. Under Section
242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the holders of the Class D
Common Stock shall be entitled to vote as a class upon any proposed amendment to
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation if such amendment would increase or
decrease the number of shares or the par value of the shares of such class, or
alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of such
class so as to affect them adversely. The transfer of shares of Class D Common
Stock is restricted, in the case of an individual holder, to members of the
holder's family, to trusts for his benefit or the benefit of his family, to his
estate and to his donees; in the case of trustees, to the grantor or a
designated beneficiary of such trust or their guardians or custodians, or to
persons who are permitted transferees of the grantor or such beneficiaries; in
the case of a corporation or partnership which is an original holder of such
shares, to its stockholders or partners or permitted transferees of such
stockholders or partners; in the case of any other corporation or partnership,
to persons who previously contributed such shares to such corporation or
partnership or who are permitted transferees of such persons; and, in the case
of an estate of a deceased or bankrupt or insolvent holder, to any persons,
trusts, corporations or partnerships which are otherwise entitled to own shares
of Class D Common

48
<PAGE>
Stock. A share of Class D Common Stock will automatically be converted into a
share of Common Stock at any time at the sole option of the holder. Once a share
of Class D Common Stock has been converted into Common Stock, it will no longer
be subject to any restrictions on transfer.

In order to maintain compliance with regulations relating to investments in
small businesses, CVC may not (unless it has made certain submissions with the
Small Business Administration) own greater than 25% of the securities of the
Company which entitle the holders thereof to vote in the election of directors.
Holders of shares of Class D Common Stock, unlike holders of shares of Common
Stock, are not entitled to vote in the election of directors. Accordingly, CVC
believes that it will maintain compliance with these regulatory requirements by
maintaining part of its equity interest in the Company in Class D Common Stock.

PREFERRED STOCK

Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time by the Board of Directors in
one or more series in connection with one or more acquisitions of the stock or
assets of another corporation or in connection with a merger of the Company with
or into another corporation. Subject to the provisions of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and limitations prescribed by law, the
Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt resolutions to issue the
shares, to fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares
constituting any series of Preferred Stock and to provide for or change the
voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional
or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof,
including dividend rights (including whether dividends are cumulative), dividend
rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption
prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting
any series of Preferred Stock, in each case without any further action or vote
by the stockholders. The Company has no current plans to issue any series of
Preferred Stock.

One of the effects of undesignated Preferred Stock may be to enable the
Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to
obtain control of the Company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger
or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of the Company's management.
The issuance of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Board of Directors'
authority described above may adversely affect the rights of the holders of
Common Stock. For example, Preferred Stock issued by the Company may rank prior
to the Common Stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may
have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares of Common
Stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock may discourage
bids for the Common Stock or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of
the Common Stock.

LIMITATION ON DIRECTORS' LIABILITIES

Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and as
permitted by Delaware law, directors of the Company are not liable to the
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty,
except for liability in connection with a breach of duty of loyalty, for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, for dividend payments or stock repurchases illegal under
Delaware law or any transaction in which a director has derived an improper
personal benefit.

WARRANT

On July 22, 1993, the Company issued the Warrant to purchase an aggregate of
650,000 shares of Common Stock to WEP for an aggregate exercise price of
$100.00. The Warrant is currently exercisable for cash. The exercise price and
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are
subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including stock splits or the
issuance of stock dividends on the Common Stock, or issuance of shares of Common
Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock for a purchase price per share
less than the per share exercise price of the Warrant.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock is Chase Mellon
Shareholder Services.

Company will sell, concurrent with this offering, an additional 125,000 shares

in such agreements that they are acquiring such shares for their own account and

the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradeable without restriction
unless acquired by affiliates of the Company. None of the remaining 6,749,588
outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class D Common Stock have been registered
under the Securities Act, which means that they are "Restricted Securities"
within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may be resold
publicly only upon registration under the Securities Act or in compliance with
an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including
the exemption provided by Rule 144.

782,256 shares of Common Stock and 214,149 shares of Class D Common Stock
upon conversion to Common Stock of the Restricted Securities will become
eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 beginning 90 days after the date of this
Prospectus if the conditions of Rule 144 are met. 125,000 shares of Common Stock
to be sold pursuant to the Direct Sale, 1,678,642 shares of Common Stock held by
affiliates, 143,630 shares of Common Stock held less than two years by
non-affiliates and 3,930,911 shares of Class D Common Stock held by affiliates
are restricted securities under Rule 144 and will not be eligible for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 beginning 90 days after the date of this Prospectus. In
general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, if two years have elapsed since
the later of the date of the acquisition of the Restricted Securities from
either the Company or an affiliate of the Company, the acquiror or subsequent
holder (or persons whose shares are aggregated) thereof may sell, within any
three month period commencing 90 days after the date of this Prospectus, a
number of shares that does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock (52,295 shares upon completion of this
offering), or (ii) the average weekly trading volume of the Common Stock on the
NYSE during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the
proposed sale is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"). Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale
provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public
information about the Company. If three years have elapsed since the later of
the date of the acquisition the Restricted Securities from the Company or any
affiliate of the Company, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who
is not deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company at any time for 90 days
preceding a sale would be entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144(k) without
regard to the volume limitations, manner of sale provisions or notice
requirements.

The Company and its executive officers, directors and all of its
stockholders, who beneficially own 6,749,588 shares in the aggregate, have
agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, any shares
of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or
exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock, for a period of 180 days after the
date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of Alex. Brown & Sons
Incorporated.

In addition, the Warrant to acquire 650,000 shares of Common Stock will be
subject to the 180-day lock-up. Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant will
be Restricted Securities within the meaning of Rule 144. See "Principal
Stockholders."

Additionally, the CVC Affiliates, all of whom are subject to the 180-day
lock-up agreements, have the right to demand two registrations of their shares
of Common Stock and Class D Common Stock upon conversion to Common Stock under
the Securities Act on Form S-1 at the Company's expense and an unlimited number
of registrations at the expense of the CVC Affiliates. The holder of the Warrant
has the right to demand one registration at the Company's expense. Both the CVC
Affiliates and the holder of the Warrant have the right to demand an unlimited
number of registrations on Form S-3 at the Company's expense. In addition, the
CVC Affiliates, the holder of the Warrant and certain members of management of
the Company have the right, subject to certain limitations, to have their shares
of Common Stock included in future registered public offerings of securities by
the Company at its expense.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock, and no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that the sale of
shares or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price for
the Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales, or the
availability for sale of, substantial amounts of the Common Stock in the public
market could adversely affect prevailing market prices and the ability of the
Company to raise equity capital in the future.

No earlier than 120 days after the date of this Prospectus, the Company
intends to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to register
shares of Common Stock under the 1996 Plan, thus permitting the resale of such
shares by non-affiliates in the public market without restriction under the
Securities Act. Such registration statement would become effective on filing.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters
are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the Underwriters will
purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock offered hereby if any of
such shares are purchased.

The Company has been advised by the Representatives that the Underwriters
propose to offer the shares of Common Stock directly to the public at the
initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and
to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of $0.76 per
share. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession
not in excess of $0.10 per share to certain other dealers. After the initial
public offering, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by
the Representatives.

The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable not later
than 30 days after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to 375,000
additional shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price less the
underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus. To the extent that the Underwriters exercise such option, each of
the Underwriters will have a firm commitment to purchase approximately the same
percentage thereof that the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by
it shown in the above table bears to 2,500,000, and the Company will be
obligated, pursuant to the option, to sell such shares to the Underwriters. The
Underwriters may exercise such option only to cover over-allotments made in
connection with the sale of Common Stock offered hereby. If purchased, the
Underwriters will offer such additional shares on the same terms as those on
which the 2,500,000 shares are being offered.

The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

52
<PAGE>
The Representatives have advised the Company that the Underwriters do not
intend to confirm sales to any account over which they exercise discretionary
authority.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price for the Common Stock has
been determined by negotiation between the Company and the Representatives.
Among the factors considered in such negotiations were prevailing market
conditions, the price-earning ratios and stages of development of other
companies which the Company and the Representatives believed to be comparable to
the Company, the results of operations of the Company in recent periods,
estimates of the business potential of the Company, the present state of the
Company's development and other factors deemed relevant. The Common Stock has
been approved for listing on the NYSE. The Underwriters have sold in lots of 100
or more shares to a minimum of 2,000 beneficial owners to meet the distribution
requirements of the NYSE.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock offered by this
Prospectus will be passed upon for the Company by Ballard Spahr Andrews &
Ingersoll, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Certain legal matters related to this
offering will be passed upon for the Underwriters by Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering,

Air Lab, Inc..................................................... 10/2/95 $ 3,400
Triumph Controls, Inc............................................ 1/1/96 $ 40,100
AMTI............................................................. 7/31/96 $ 21,300
</TABLE>

The acquisitions of Air Lab, Inc. and Triumph Controls, Inc. were made
through the acquisition of assets and assumption of certain liabilities, while
the acquisition of AMTI was made through the purchase of all the outstanding
common stock. Each acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. On
January 31, 1996, AMTI acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of
Special Processes of Arizona, Inc. (SPOA), for approximately $1.5 million
including cash and a promissory note.

The pro forma results of operations adjustments are those necessary to
reflect the Company's income from continuing operations as if each acquisition
took place at the beginning of the period presented. The results of operations
of SPOA are included in the pro forma adjustments for periods subsequent to the
date of acquisition by AMTI only. The pro forma balance sheet includes
adjustments to reflect the purchase of AMTI, as it was the only acquisition to
occur subsequent to June 30, 1996. The following are the components of the
aggregate purchase price of AMTI:

REFINANCING

On July 19, 1996, the Company entered into an unsecured five year credit
agreement for a $50,000 revolving credit facility and a $35,000 term loan.
Proceeds from the new credit agreement were used to retire its revolving credit
facility and senior term loans (existing credit facility) and senior
subordinated notes. The refinancing resulted in an interest savings of 175 basis
points over the existing credit facility and 385 basis points (based on weighted
average interest rates for the year ended March 31, 1996) over the existing
senior subordinated notes. Additionally, the Company reduced its annual
commitment fee by $115. Due to the retirement of debt, the Company recorded an
extraordinary loss of $1,478, net of a tax benefit of $985, in July 1996 (at
June 30, 1996 the extraordinary loss would have been $1,493, net of a tax
benefit of $995 had the refinancing been consummated at such date) related to
prepayment penalties incurred and the write-off of deferred financing fees
related to the existing debt. This loss is reflected as an adjustment to
retained earnings in the pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 1996.

OTHER EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

In conjunction with this offering, the Company has elected to exchange a
portion of the common stock of Triumph Controls, Inc. held by certain minority
shareholders (approximately 5% of the total outstanding) for 41,405 shares of
Common Stock of the Company valued as of June 30, 1996. As a result of the
conversion, $520 will be recorded as excess of cost over net assets acquired to
reflect the excess of fair market value (based on an assumed net initial public
offering price of $16.00 per share less underwriting discounts and commissions
and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company) over book value as an
increase in the purchase price of Triumph Controls, Inc. Additionally, the
Company intends to exchange its 10.5% junior subordinated promissory notes held
by members of management of

F-7

THE TRIUMPH GROUP HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Triumph Controls, Inc., plus accrued interest, at an assumed initial public
offering price of $16 per share (less underwriting discounts and commissions and
estimated offering expenses payable by the Company). These conversions are
reflected in the June 30, 1996 pro forma balance sheet. Pro forma net income
related to the minority shareholder's interest and interest expense related to
the notes is added back to the results of operations for each period in the pro
forma income statements.

In conjunction with this offering, the Company intends to exchange its 14%
junior subordinated promissory notes plus accrued interest and preferred stock
at liquidation value plus accumulated dividends for shares of Common Stock at an
assumed initial public offering price of $16 per share (less underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the
Company). As a result of this exchange and the exchange noted above, 982,073
shares (as of June 30, 1996) of the Company's stock will be issued to the
holders of the notes and preferred stock. The exchange is reflected in the pro
forma balance sheet as of June 30, 1996. Interest expense related to the notes
is added back to the results of operations for each period in the pro forma
income statements.

As a result of the transactions described herein, holders of the stock
options have the right to purchase junior subordinated promissory notes which,
in conjunction with this offering, immediately convert into shares of Common
Stock at an assumed initial public offering price of $16 per share (less
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable
by the Company). The exercise of the options and the purchase and exchange of
the attached junior subordinated promissory notes have been included in the pro
forma balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 as a net increase in cash and capital in
excess of par value of $128 which represents the total consideration received
for the exercise of the options and purchase of the attached junior subordinated
promissory notes as of June 30, 1996.

STATEMENTS OF INCOME

(1) The pro forma results of operations adjustments are those necessary to
reflect the Company's income from continuing operations as if each

Historical pre-acquisition amounts for Air Lab, Inc. and Triumph Controls,
Inc. were obtained from each of the companies' monthly financial statements.

BALANCE SHEET

(12) The pro forma acquisition adjustments reflect the opening balance sheet of
AMTI as though the acquisition had occurred on June 30, 1996. The historical
financial position of AMTI has been adjusted to include the write-up of
fixed assets of $3,407 to estimated fair value; the recording of excess of
cost over net assets acquired of $2,706; the recording of the gross value of
the previous owner's covenant not-to-compete of $3,720 and its related
present value liability; and the increase in the Company's long-term debt
and other accrued liabilities to record costs related to the acquisition.
The excess of the market price (at an assumed initial public offering price
of $16.00 -- less underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated
offering expenses payable by the Company) over the exercise price ($1.87) of
13,000 stock options issued to the previous owner of AMTI is also included
in the pro forma adjustments, valued at $164. The allocation of the purchase
price is based upon estimates and will be finalized during the current year.
Management does not anticipate the final allocation of the purchase price to
be materially different from the preliminary allocation.

(13) Adjustments reflect: (i) the write-off of the deferred financing fees
related to the existing credit facility; (ii) prepayment penalties
associated with early extinguishment of the senior subordinated note and the
existing credit facility; (iii) payment of accrued interest related to the
senior subordinated note and the existing credit facility, and the net
increase in debt necessary to fund the prepayment penalties and the
financing fees related to the new credit facility.

(14) Adjustments reflect (i) the reclassification of the deferred taxes related
to interest on the 14% junior subordinated promissory notes; (ii) the
accretion of the preferred stock from its value as of June 30, 1996 to its
liquidation value which is reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings
and (iii) the conversion of the junior subordinated promissory notes
(principal and accrued interest of 9,055 and 476 for the 14% and 10.5%
junior subordinated promissory notes, respectively, as of June 30, 1996),
the preferred stock (at the liquidation value plus accumulated dividends as
of June 30, 1996) and a portion of the minority interest in Triumph
Controls, Inc. to the Company's Common Stock.

(15) Adjustments give effect to the sale of shares of Common Stock offered by
the Company hereby and the application of the net proceeds thereof to
extinguish the outstanding balance related to the pro forma revolving credit
facility of $31,291 and to reduce the senior subordinated promissory note by
$5,500.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND FORMATION OF THE TRIUMPH GROUP HOLDINGS, INC.
The Triumph Group Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") is a Delaware corporation
which was formed by Citicorp Venture Capital and other investors, including
members of management of The Triumph Group, Inc. ("Triumph"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Holdings, and Triumph's wholly-owned subsidiaries to acquire,
effective June 1, 1993, certain operations of Alco Standard Corporation ("Alco")
which are engaged in aviation services, paper converting (which was subsequently
discontinued), and metals converting and distribution (the "acquisition").

The accompanying financial statements present the consolidated financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows of Holdings and its subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company") as of the dates indicated. Intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial
statements.

The aggregate purchase price of $115,167 for the acquisition, including
$3,500 of related costs, was allocated to assets based on their estimated fair
values. In addition, the Company assumed certain liabilities of $28,467. The net
purchase was financed as follows:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

The Company's aviation segment contributes approximately three quarters of
the Company's operating income, while the metals converting and distribution
segment contributes the remainder. Triumph's aviation segment designs,
engineers, manufactures or repairs and overhauls aircraft components for
commercial airlines, air cargo carriers and original equipment manufacturers on
a worldwide basis. Triumph's metals segment manufactures, machines, forges,
processes and distributes metal products to customers in the computer,
construction, container, farm equipment and office furniture industries,
primarily within North America.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the 65-for-one stock split
described in Note 18, except as noted below. Pursuant to the Securities and
Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins and Staff policy, common and
preferred shares, options and warrants issued during the period commencing 12
months prior to the initial filing of the proposed initial public offering at
prices below the anticipated public offering price are presumed to have been in
contemplation of the public offering and have been included in the

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
calculation as if they were outstanding for all periods presented, determined
using the treasury stock method and the anticipated price from the initial
public offering. In addition, common share equivalents such as warrants and
options are included in the computation.

Earnings per share reflected in the consolidated statements of income has
been computed as described above, but also gives effect to the exchange of all
outstanding 14% junior subordinated promissory notes, a portion of the 10.5%
junior subordinated promissory notes and preferred stock for common stock upon
the closing of the Company's initial public offering (determined using the if-
converted method) as described in Note 18. Additionally, income from continuing
operations has been increased to reflect interest related to the junior
subordinated promissory notes net of income tax expense. Primary and fully
diluted earnings per share are the same.

INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial statements and disclosures included herein for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for these interim
periods have been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out and
last-in, first-out methods) or market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, which is depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets by the straight-line method.
Buildings and improvements are depreciated over a period of 15 to 39 1/2 years,
and machinery and equipment from 7 to 15 years (except for furnitures, fixtures
and computer equipment which is depreciated over a period of 3 to 10 years).

EXCESS OF COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED

The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty-five years. The realizability of
goodwill (and other intangibles) is evaluated periodically as events or
circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying amount.
Such evaluation is based on various analyses, including cash flow and
profitability projections.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist primarily of patents, trademarks, aerospace
designs, and licensing agreements. Intangible assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which range from five to
twenty-five years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues are recorded when services are performed or when products are
shipped except for long-term construction contracts which are recorded on the
percentage-of-completion method based on the relationship between actual costs
incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Estimated costs to complete
for each contract are reviewed periodically as work progresses and apropriate
adjustments are made to revenue recognition percentages, if necessary. In the
event such estimates indicate a loss would be incurred on the contract, the
estimated amount of such loss would be recognized in the period the

(INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996 IS

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
estimated loss was determined. Sales from long-term construction contracts
approximated 11%, 11%, and 12% of total sales for the ten-month period ended
March 31, 1994 and the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes.
Accordingly, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary
differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts reportable for income tax purposes. The
Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiaries.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions (for example, long-term contract revenue recognition and
postretirement benefits) that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

3. ACQUISITIONS
In January 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Triumph Controls, Inc., formerly a division of Teleflex, Incorporated
(Teleflex), for an aggregate purchase price of $40,100. Triumph Controls, Inc.
manufactures and services mechanical controls for a broad range of end users,
primarily in the aviation industry. The purchase price includes cash paid to
Teleflex, Inc., a note to Teleflex, assumed liabilities and direct costs of the
acquisition. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method
and, accordingly, the operating results of Triumph Controls, Inc. have been
included for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The aggregate purchase price
was allocated to the assets based on their estimated fair values, including
$5,500 of intangible assets (patents, trademarks and aerospace designs). The
Company assumed certain liabilities of $2,600 and incurred transaction-related
costs of approximately $1,000. The excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of net assets acquired of $10,400 was recorded as excess of cost over net
assets acquired and is being amortized over twenty-five years on a straight-line
basis. The acquisition was funded by the Company's operations and long-term
borrowings.

In October 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Air
Lab, Inc. of Seattle, WA, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,400. Air Lab,
Inc. services instruments and avionics for the commercial aviation industry. The
purchase price includes cash paid to Air Lab, Inc., a long-term liability
related to a covenant not-to-compete contract, certain assumed liabilities and
direct costs of the acquisition. The acquisition has been accounted for under
the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results of Air Lab, Inc.
have been included in the consolidated operating results since the date of
acquisition.

The pro forma information includes adjustments for interest expense that
would have been incurred to finance the purchases, additional depreciation based
on the estimated fair market value of the property, plant, and equipment
acquired, and the amortization of the intangible assets arising from the
transactions. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations as they would have been had the transactions been
effected on the assumed dates.

4. DISCONTINUED PAPER OPERATIONS
On March 31, 1996, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its
paper converting subsidiary, Quality Park Products, Inc. of St. Paul, MN, to
Mail-Well, Inc. for approximately $27,350 in cash and supplemental payments,
based upon estimated earnings for the two years ending March 31, 1998, and the
assumption by the purchaser of certain liabilities.

The results of Quality Park Products, Inc. have been reported separately as
a component of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Company's
paper converting business:

On July 19, 1996, the Company entered into an unsecured five year credit
agreement for a $50,000 revolving credit facility and a $35,000 term loan. Both
credit instruments bear interest at either LIBOR plus between 0.63% and 1.88% or
prime plus between 0% and 0.38% at the option of the Company. The variation in
the interest rate is based upon the Company's ratio of total indebtedness to
earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization. In addition,
the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.2% and 0.45% on the
unused portion of the revolving credit facility based upon the ratio described
above. Principal payments on the term loan of $1,250 are made quarterly with a
final balloon payment of $11,250 due on July 1, 2001. The Company may repay
amounts owed under the credit agreement or reduce the revolving credit facility
commitment without penalty. Additionally, the Company may allocate up to $5,000
of the available revolving credit facility for the issuance of letters of
credit.

The proceeds of the new term loan, amounts borrowed under the new revolving
credit facility and the proceeds received from the sale of Quality Park
Products, Inc. (see Note 4) were used to extinguish the outstanding balances of
the revolving credit facility, the senior term loans and the senior subordinated
notes existing at March 31, 1996. The extinguishment of this debt resulted in an
extraordinary loss of $1,478, net of an income tax benefit of $985.

Additionally, under the terms of the new credit agreement, upon completion
of the common stock offering described in Note 18, the Company is required to
make a principal payment of $15,000 which will be applied to any balance
outstanding on the revolving credit facility followed by any balance remaining
on the term loan. Should the Company fail to receive at least $30,000 in
proceeds from the common stock offering by December 31, 1996, the new credit
agreement will become secured as the Company is required to grant the holder a
first priority lien and security interest in all real and personal property
owned by the Company at that time.

The Subordinated Promissory Notes consists of two notes, a $13,500 principal
amount payable by Holdings to Alco, bearing interest at 10%, and due in equal
installments on June 1, 2002 and June 1, 2003 and $5,500 principal amount
payable by Holdings to Teleflex, bearing interest at 10.5%, and due in equal
installments on December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003.

The Junior Subordinated Promissory Notes ("Junior Notes") consist of
unsecured obligations of Holdings and one of its subsidiaries. The Junior Notes
of Holdings, $7,625, $8,800 and $9,055 at

7. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
March 31, 1995 and 1996 and June 30, 1996, respectively, are subordinated to all
liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries and bear interest at 14%. The
Company, in its sole discretion, may pay interest by issuance of additional
Junior Notes and elected to do so for $614, $993 and $1,146 for the ten months
ended March 31, 1994 and the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
Interest of $271 and $313 was paid by issuance of additional Junior Notes during
the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The Junior Notes of
Holdings mature on December 31, 2003, although the holders of the notes have no
right to demand payment of principal until all superior debt, as defined, has
been paid in full.

In January 1996, additional Junior Notes of one of Triumph's subsidiaries
were issued in the amount of $760 and are subordinated to all liabilities of the
subsidiary and all indebtedness of Triumph and its subsidiaries pursuant to the
revolving credit facility, the senior term loans and the senior subordinated
notes and bear interest at 10.5%. The subsidiary, in its sole discretion, may
pay interest by issuance of additional Junior Notes and elected to do so for $15
and $20 for the year ended March 31, 1996 and the three months ended June 30,
1996, respectively. These Junior Notes are due in equal installments on December
31, 2005 and 2006, although the holders of the notes have no right to demand
payment of principal until all superior debt, as defined, has been paid in full.

The indentures under the debt agreements described above contain
restrictions and covenants which include limitations on the Company's ability to
incur additional indebtedness, issue stock, options or warrants (excluding the
offering described in Note 18 and any employee stock option plan the Company may
enter into), make certain restricted payments and acquisitions, create liens,
enter into transactions with affiliates, sell substantial portions of its
assets, make capital expenditures and pay cash dividends.

Additional covenants require compliance with financial tests, including
current ratio, leverage, interest coverage ratio and maintenance of minimum net
worth. As of July 19, 1996, subsequent to the refinancing, $31,029 of additional
borrowings were available under the revolving credit facility.

The fair value of the Company's long-term debt at March 31, 1996, excluding
amounts which were refinanced, approximates the carrying value.

Maturities of long-term debt, excluding payments which may be required under
debt agreements based on excess cash flow (adjusted for the refinancing
described above), are as follows: 1997 -- $2,648; 1998 -- $5,169; 1999 --
$5,176; 2000 -- $5,089; 2001 -- $5,096.

Interest paid on indebtedness during the ten months ended March 31, 1994 and
the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 amounted to $3,968, $6,909 and $7,552,
respectively. Interest paid on indebtedness during the three months ended June
30, 1995 and 1996 amounted to $1,737 and $1,781, respectively.

Financing fees and expenses of $2,103 incurred with respect to indebtedness
have been capitalized and are reflected in other assets. These fees and expenses
are being amortized over the terms of the related indebtedness (5-8 years).
Total amortization (included in interest expense) for the ten months ended March
31, 1994 and the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 was $210, $252, and $276,
respectively. Total amortization (included in interest expense) for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 was $63 and $87, respectively. On July 19,
1996, in conjunction with the refinancing, $923 in unamortized deferred
financing fees related to the extinguished debt were written-off and an
additional $510 in financing fees related to the new credit agreement were
capitalized.

all such shares into the Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis. Upon
the conversion of all shares of Class B common stock, each share of Class C
common stock will automatically convert into one share of Class A common stock.

The Company issued a stock purchase warrant which allows the holder to
purchase 650,000 shares of Class A common stock at an aggregate exercise price
of one hundred dollars through July 31, 2003. The proceeds from the issuance of
the senior subordinated notes allocated to the warrants of $100 has been
included in capital in excess of par value.

9. PREFERRED STOCK
The preferred stock provides for 14% cumulative dividends and redemption on
July 21, 2004 or 91 days after the retirement date of senior debt at the lesser
of the liquidation value of $100 per share ($3,058) plus all accumulated and
unpaid dividends or 40% of the Company's equity value. Accumulated and unpaid
dividends of approximately $830 or $27.15 per share, $1,424 or $46.57 per share
and $1,590 or $52.00 per share are included in preferred stock as of March 31,
1995 and 1996 and June 30, 1996, respectively.

salaried and certain hourly employees may defer a portion of their compensation.
Eligible participants may contribute to the plan up to 15% of their regular
compensation before taxes. The Company matches 33% of the first 6% of
compensation contributed by the participant. All contributions and Company
matches are invested at the direction of the employee in one or more mutual
funds. Company matching contributions vest immediately and aggregated $293, $404
and $437 for the period from August 1, 1993 (inception of the 401(k) Plan)
through March 31, 1994 and the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. Company matching contributions for the three months ended June 30,

11. OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
In connection with the acquisition of Triumph Controls, Inc., the Company
provides certain postretirement medical and insurance benefits to eligible
employees under a Collective Bargaining Agreement. For any employees who retired
through the date of the acquisition, the Seller retained all liabilities for
benefits due and administration of the postretirement benefits. The Company has
assumed responsibility for administration of the postretirement coverage for any
eligible employee who retires subsequent to the date of acquisition. The Company
will pay the costs related to these benefits upon retirement and will be
reimbursed by the Seller for its pro rata portion based on relative length of
service.

consideration of $1,300 payable in annual installments, which expires on April
30, 2001.

Certain of the Company's business operations and facilities are subject to a
number of federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. The
Company is indemnified for environmental liabilities related to assets purchased
from Alco which existed prior to the acquisition (Note 1) and any unidentified
environmental liabilities which arise subsequent to the date of settlement
through July 22, 2000, arising from conditions or activities existing at these
facilities prior to the acquisition. In the opinion of management, there are no
significant environmental concerns which would have a material effect on the
financial condition or operating results of the Company which are not covered by
such indemnification.

The Company is involved in certain litigation matters arising out of its
normal business activities. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
resolution of such litigation will not have a material effect on the financial
condition or operating results of the Company.

14. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS
Approximately 30% of the Company's labor force is covered under collective
bargaining agreements. These collective bargaining agreements expire over the
next several years.

15. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
No single customer accounts for more than 5% of the Company's sales,
however, the loss of any significant customer could have a material effect on
the Company and its operating subsidiaries.

18. OTHER SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED)
On August 21, 1996 the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to
change its corporate name to Triumph Group, Inc.

In conjunction with the sale of common stock, the Company intends to

In conjunction with the proposed public offering described above, the
Company intends to exchange all outstanding preferred stock for Common Stock.
The liquidation value of the preferred stock plus accumulated dividends at the
date of the exchange (estimated to be October 15, 1996) of approximately $4,841
will convert to approximately 334,352 shares of Common Stock at an assumed
initial public offering price of $16.00 (less underwriting discounts and
commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company).

In addition, the Company intends to exchange all outstanding 14% junior
notes and a portion of outstanding 10.5% junior notes for Common Stock. The face
value of the junior notes plus accrued but unpaid interest at the date of
exchange (estimated to be October 15, 1996) of approximately $9,964 will be
exchanged for 688,140 shares of Common Stock at the estimated initial public
offering price of $16.00 (less underwriting discounts and commissions and
estimated offering expenses payable by the Company).

The Company intends to adopt the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which
will become effective upon the closing of the proposed public offering. The Plan
provides for grants of stock options to officers and key employees of the
Company.

NORTH WALES CONTROLS AND QUADRANTS GROUP
(A DIVISION OF TELEFLEX INCORPORATED)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
North Wales Controls and Quadrants Group, a division of Teleflex
Incorporated (the "Division"), consists of two business units: aerospace and
non-aerospace. Aerospace manufactures and services qualified mechanical controls
for a broad range of end users. Non-aerospace comprises the naval group, which
produces remote valve operators, and the nuclear group, which provides flux
mapping systems for the nuclear industry. All manufacturing operations of the
Division are conducted at North Wales, PA.

These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and include management estimates and assumptions
that affect the recorded amounts. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

The statement of income includes all charges applicable to the Division.
Teleflex Incorporated provides certain services to, and incurs costs on behalf
of, the Division. All of the allocations and estimates in the financial
statements are based on assumptions that the Division and Teleflex Incorporated
believe are reasonable. However, these allocations and estimates are not
necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses that would have resulted if the
Division had been operated as a separate entity.

In January 1996, the Division was sold by Teleflex Incorporated to Triumph
Controls, Inc. and is currently doing business under that name.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated principally at the lower of aggregate average cost or
market.

PLANT ASSETS

Plant assets include the cost of additions and those improvements which
increase the capacity or lengthen the useful lives of the assets. Repairs and
maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. With minor exceptions, straight-line
composite lives for depreciation of plant assets are as follows: machinery and
equipment -- 5 to 12 years; leasehold improvements -- 10 years. Depreciation
expense was $454,479, $451,188, and $437,866 for the years ending December 26,
1993, December 25, 1994 and December 31, 1995, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

The taxable income of the Division is included in the consolidated tax
return of Teleflex Incorporated. As such, separate income tax returns were not
prepared or filed by the Division. Income tax expense has been determined as if
the Division was a separate tax paying entity by applying an asset and liability
approach.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product. Revenues from long-term
contracts, which are less than 10 percent of total sales, are recognized on a
percentage of completion basis.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTES PAYABLE

The Company's cash requirements are met by funds generated from operations,
supplemented as necessary by advances or borrowings from Teleflex Incorporated.
Borrowings from Teleflex Incorporated are made pursuant to unwritten, informal
arrangements. Interest is charged (earned) at a rate of 8%. Interest expense was
$262,803 and $135,810 for the years ended December 26, 1993 and December 25,
1994, respectively.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
INSURANCE COVERAGE

WORKER'S COMPENSATION. Teleflex Incorporated purchases workers'
compensation coverage for all its U.S. Divisions from external carriers.
Premiums paid are determined based upon claims experience subject to a stop-loss
provision. Each Division is allocated a charge based upon the application of
published workers' compensation rates to division payroll costs adjusted for
claims experience. Charges for the years ended December 26, 1993, December 25,
1994 and December 31, 1995 were $536,000, $554,000 and $610,600, respectively.

MEDICAL. Certain medical and other related benefits are provided to active
employees of the Division. Monthly premiums are paid to insurance carriers by
Teleflex and reimbursed by the Division on the basis of employee headcount.
These contracts are negotiated by Teleflex on a Company-wide basis.

Medical charges allocated to the Division were $2,013,000, $1,689,000 and
$1,415,000 for the years ended December 26, 1993, December 25, 1994 and December
31, 1995. These charges and allocations are not necessarily indicative of the
costs that would have been incurred if the Division had been operating as a
separate entity.

CORPORATE EXPENSES

The results of operations include significant transactions with Teleflex
business units that are outside of the Division's operations. These transactions
involve functions and services (such as executive management, cash management,
tax administration, legal services and research funding) that were provided to
the Division by these other Teleflex units. The cost of these functions and
services has been allocated to the Division based on a predetermined percentage
of Division revenues. Teleflex management believes this allocation methodology
is reasonable. Such charges and allocations are not necessarily indicative of
the costs that would have been incurred by the Division as a separate entity.
Corporate charges were $1,180,000, $1,190,000 and $1,191,000 for the years ended
December 26, 1993, December 25, 1994 and December 31, 1995, respectively.

SALES AND PURCHASES

Sales by the Division to other divisions of Teleflex were $259,000, $212,000
and $45,000 for the years ending December 26, 1993, December 25, 1994 and
December 31, 1995, respectively. Purchases by the Division from other divisions
of Teleflex were $259,000, $245,000 and $335,000 for the years ending December
26, 1993, December 25, 1994 and December 31, 1995, respectively.

RENT

The Division rents its manufacturing facility from Teleflex under a
month-to-month net lease. Charges of approximately $156,000 including rent,
insurance and taxes were allocated to the Division for each of the three years
ended December 31, 1995.

4. BENEFITS PLANS

PENSIONS

Teleflex has defined benefit plans which provide retirement benefits to
eligible employees. The benefits for these plans are based on employee's years
of service and pay. Assumptions used in determining the actuarial present value
of benefit obligations reflect a weighted average discount rate of 7.8% in 1993,
8.0% in 1994 and 1995, and an investment return of 9% and a salary increase of
5%.

Pension costs have been assigned to the Division for all employees
participating in Plan 1039, a plan solely for Division hourly employees, in
accordance with actuarial calculations.

4. BENEFITS PLANS (CONTINUED)
Pension expense for Plan 1039 is summarized as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1993 1994 1995
----------- ----------- -----------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Service cost -- benefits earned during the year........ $ 145,800 $ 147,800 $ 147,600

----------- ----------- -----------
$ 198,900 $ 197,000 $ 255,200
----------- ----------- -----------
----------- ----------- -----------
</TABLE>

Salaried employees participate in a company-wide pension plan. Allocation of
pension cost for salaried employees was made on the basis of proportional
payroll and aggregated $250,000, $269,000 and $320,000 for the years ended
December 26, 1993, December 25, 1994 and December 31, 1995, respectively. Such
costs are not necessarily indicative of the pension cost that would be incurred
if the Division operated as a separate entity.

OTHER

Teleflex has defined contribution 401(k) plans in which substantially all
employees of the Division may participate. Under these plans, employees may make
voluntary contributions of their compensation, which are partially matched by
Teleflex. Employer contributions for the years ended December 26, 1993, December
25, 1994 and December 31, 1995 were $100,000, $143,000 and $140,000,
respectively.

5. OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Teleflex provides postretirement medical and other benefits to eligible
employees. Assumptions used in determining the expense and benefit obligations
include a weighted average discount rate of 7.8% in 1993 and 8.0% in 1994 and
1995 and an initial health care cost trend rate of 12% in 1993, 11% in 1994 and
10% in 1995, declining to 6% over a period of 5 years. Increasing the health
care cost trend rate by one percentage point would increase the postretirement
benefit expense by approximately $20,000.

Postretirement benefit expense has been assigned to the Division for all
hourly employees participating in Plan 1039, in accordance with actuarial
calculations. Postretirement benefit expense for this Plan allocated to the
Division is summarized as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1993 1994 1995
----------- ----------- -----------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Service cost -- benefits earned during the year........ $ 138,000 $ 90,000 $ 22,000
Interest cost on projected benefit obligations......... 541,000 438,000 301,000
Net amortization and deferral.......................... 307,000 272,000 144,000
----------- ----------- -----------
$ 986,000 $ 800,000 $ 467,000
----------- ----------- -----------
----------- ----------- -----------
</TABLE>

The reduction in the accumulated postretirement benefit expense resulted
from Plan amendments.

Salaried employees participate in a company-wide plan. Allocation of
postretirement benefit expense was made on the basis of employees headcount and
aggregated $128,000, $139,000 and $113,000 for the years ended December 26,
1993, December 25, 1994 and December 31, 1995, respectively. Such costs are not
necessarily indicative of the postretirement benefit cost that would be incurred
if the Division operated as a separate entity.

6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND OTHER INFORMATION
The Division's sales are made principally to commercial OEM customers,
airlines and the U.S. Government. Sales to the U.S. Government, directly and as
a subcontractor amounted to approximately $11,151,000, $9,559,000 and
$10,500,000 for the years ended December 26, 1993, December 25, 1994 and
December 31, 1995, respectively.

7. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

$ 2,387,987 $ 2,619,496 $ 2,413,074
------------- ------------- -------------
------------- ------------- -------------
</TABLE>

Deferred taxes primarily relate to additional costs capitalized in inventory
for tax accounting in accordance with S-263A of the income tax code, and because
of the use of accelerated depreciation for tax purposes.

The following is a reconciliation of the effective income tax rate with the
federal statutory income tax rate of 34%.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Division has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and
items of permanent investment incident to the ordinary conduct of business. In
the aggregate, such commitments are not at prices in excess of current market.

The Division has entered into certain operating leases which require minimum
annual payments as follows: 1996 -- $240,000; 1997 -- $156,000; 1998 --
$100,000; 1999 -- $95,000 and 2000 -- $48,000. The total rental expense for all
operating leases was $80,000, $171,000 and $260,000 for the years ended December
26, 1993, December 25, 1994 and December 31, 1995, respectively. Certain
equipment leased by the Division is used by other Teleflex units which reimburse
the Division for their cost. Minimum annual payments for this equipment are as
follows: 1996 -- $100,000 and 1997 -- $33,000.

Teleflex is involved in a lawsuit in which a commissioned sales
representative alleges breach of contract by the Division. The Division reached
a settlement on May 14, 1996 in this lawsuit. The

F-36

(A DIVISION OF TELEFLEX INCORPORATED)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
settlement required payment by the Division to the commissioned sales
representative of $550,000. The Division had previously accrued approximately
$430,000 in relation to this matter. No adjustment has been made to the
financial statements for the outcome of this settlement.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency notified Teleflex, as well
as six other entities, that it is potentially responsible for costs of
investigating and cleaning up a superfund site. The Division has received a
settlement proposal in a suit with the North Penn Water Authority (NPWA) in June
1996, relative to the same property. The Division may be required to make a
payment to NPWA of approximately $462,000. Teleflex has agreed to assume
liability, if any is incurred in resolving this issue. Total environmental
expenses, exclusive of allocated corporate expenses, recorded by the Division
were approximately $17,000, $65,000 and $186,000 for the years ended December
26, 1993, December 25, 1994 and December 31, 1995.

The Division is also subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in
the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of
ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows of the Division.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Advanced Materials Technologies, Inc. (Company) and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Special Processes of Arizona, Inc., are in one line of business as a
repair operation of aircraft component parts used in the commercial airline
industry. The Company was incorporated in the State of Arizona in January 1984
and is a licensed FAA repair station.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiary. Significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial statements and disclosures included herein for the periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for these interim
periods have been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been
determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation
and amortization are computed under the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Building and building improvements............................. 30 years
7 - 15
Machinery and equipment........................................ years
5 - 10
Office equipment............................................... years
Transportation equipment....................................... 5 years
</TABLE>

INTANGIBLES

Intangibles assets were acquired in connection with the acquisition of
Special Processes of Arizona, Inc. Intangible assets include a noncompete
agreement and FAA approvals. The assets are being amortized over their estimated
useful lives of 5 to 15 years. Accumulated amortization at March 31, 1996 and
June 30, 1996 was $14,452 and $34,910, respectively. Management periodically
evaluates the continuing value of its intangibles based upon the expected gross
margin on the related assets.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees
with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of
grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB
Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and, accordingly,
recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales are recorded at the time of shipment.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and borrowings under its
short-term revolving credit arrangements approximates their fair values. The
fair values of the Company's long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash
flow analyses, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for
similar types of borrowing arrangements, and the carrying amounts approximate
their fair value.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. ACQUISITIONS
Effective January 31, 1996, the Company acquired the assets and assumed
certain liabilities of Special Processes of Arizona, Inc. (SPOA). Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company paid $764,564 in cash and issued a
promissory note in the amount of $675,128. The acquisition has been accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting; therefore, the accompanying
financial statements include the accounts of SPOA since the date of acquisition.
The excess of cost over net assets acquired is being amortized over fifteen
years on a straight-line basis. The purchase price was allocated to assets
acquired based upon their fair market values at the date of acquisition, as
follows:

<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Cash and cash equivalents...................................... $ 3,343
Accounts receivable............................................ 416,275

</TABLE>

Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company entered into a technical
consulting agreement with the former owner of SPOA for transition facilitation
services to be performed during February and March of 1996. The Company incurred
expense of $450,000 related to this agreement for the year ended March 31, 1996.
