INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing broad corporate
policies and for the overall performance of the Company, although it is not
involved in day-to-day operating details. Members of the Board are kept
informed of the Company's business by various reports and documents given to
them on a regular basis, as well as by operating, financial and other reports
made at meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees.
The Board of Directors has five standing committees: Executive Committee,
Audit Committee, Nominating Committee, Management Development and Compensation
Committee, and Public Responsibility Committee.
Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Bylaws and applicable law,
the Executive Committee may exercise all of the powers of the Board of
Directors in the management and direction of the business and affairs of the
Company. The present members of the Executive Committee are Mr. Colussy
(Chairman), Mr. Castle, Mr. Hittinger, Mr. Holloway and Mr. Moseley. The
Executive Committee did not hold a meeting during 1993.
The Audit Committee recommends to the Board of Directors the engagement of
the Company's independent auditors and reviews with the auditors the plan and
scope of their audit for each year, the results of the audit when completed and
their fees for services performed. The Audit Committee also reviews internal
control procedures and meets periodically with the Company's internal auditors
to review the results of such procedures. The Audit Committee is composed
exclusively of directors who are not officers or employees of the Company. The
present members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Hittinger (Chairman), Mr.
Holloway, Mr. McGowan and Mr. Skantze. The Audit Committee held three meetings
during 1993.
The Nominating Committee recommends to the Board of Directors possible
candidates for election as directors. The present members of the Nominating
Committee are Mr. Moseley (Chairman), Mr. Bernhard, Mr. Colussy and Mr.
Skantze. The Nominating Committee did not hold a meeting during 1993. The
Nominating Committee will consider nominees for director recommended by
stockholders. See "Stockholder Proposals and Directors' Nominations for 1995
Annual Meeting" for the procedures to be followed by stockholders in submitting
recommendations.
The Management Development and Compensation Committee fixes and changes
salaries and other compensation of the officers of the Company, of any other
employee reporting directly to the President and of the heads of the Company's
subsidiaries and divisions. Any action taken by the committee in fixing or
changing the compensation of officers who are also directors is subject to
ratification by the Board of Directors. The committee also administers the
Company's employee stock plans and its Incentive Compensation Plan and assists
in management development. The committee is composed exclusively of directors
who are not officers or employees of the Company. The present members of the
Management Development and Compensation Committee are Mr. Castle (Chairman),
Mr. McGowan and Mr. Moseley. The Management Development and Compensation
Committee held four meetings during 1993. Reference is made to the "Statement
of Management Development and Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation"
appearing elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.
The Public Responsibility Committee reviews the Company's policies, plans,
programs, positions and accomplishments in areas of significant public
interest, such as safety, environmental concerns and minority employment and
advancement. The present members of the Public Responsibility Committee are
Mr. Holloway (Chairman), Ms. Byron and Mr. Skantze. The Public Responsibility
Committee held six meetings during 1993.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993, the Board of Directors held
nine meetings. Each incumbent director, during the period for which he or she
has been a director, attended at least 75% of the
3
<PAGE>
aggregate of (a) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and (b)
the total number of meetings of all committees of the Board on which he or she
served. For the Board as a whole, attendance at meetings in 1993 of the full
Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors was approximately
95%.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Directors who are employees of the Company receive no additional compensation
for their services as directors or as members of committees of the Board. Cash
compensation payable to other directors for services in that capacity under the
Outside Directors Compensation Plan currently consists of a retainer of $15,000
per year and a fee of $1,000, plus travel expenses, for each day of each
meeting of the Board of Directors attended in person and a fee of $500 for
participation in a meeting by telephone. Additional annual retainers of $3,000
and $2,000 are paid to the Chairman of each committee and to each member of a
committee, respectively. Members of the committees are also paid a fee of $800
for each committee meeting attended in person and a fee of $400 for
participation in a committee meeting by telephone. In addition to any retainer
or meeting fees for serving on the Board of Directors or any committee, a
director who renders services on behalf of the Company outside of formal
meetings is compensated for such services at the rate of $1,000 per day.
Effective as of July 31, 1987, the Company adopted the Outside Directors
Separation from Service Plan (the "Outside Directors Service Plan"). All
directors who are not employed by the Company automatically become participants
under the Outside Directors Service Plan, but must have served on the Board of
Directors for three years before their benefits become vested. Benefits are
payable as an annuity, paid in monthly installments, equal to the director's
final basic retainer fee, multiplied by a ratio equal to one-tenth of the
director's years of service, provided, however, that no director shall receive
more than 10 years of service and such ratio shall equal zero until a director
completes three years of service. Benefits become payable upon a director's
ceasing to serve on the Board of Directors, or upon a director's death in which
event benefits are paid to the surviving spouse, if any. Upon a change in
control of the Company, as defined, the Company must purchase and distribute to
each participating director an annuity sufficient to provide the director's
accrued and vested benefit as of the date of such change. All directors not
otherwise employed by the Company are participants under the Outside Directors
Service Plan. In connection with the adoption of the Outside Directors Service
Plan, the Company adopted a policy that no member of the Board of Directors who
has attained the age of 70 may be nominated for a further term of office as a
director.
Directors are eligible to participate in the Company's group life insurance
program.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
In 1993, the size of the Board of Directors of the Company was increased from
eight to nine and Beverly B. Byron was appointed by the Board to fill the
vacancy. Nine directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
All directors are elected for a term of one year to serve until the next Annual
Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are elected and have
qualified.
All of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders by
properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instruction
thereon, if any, and if no instructions are given, the proxy will be voted FOR
the election of the nine nominees for director named below. Abstentions and
broker non-votes shall not be voted and shall have no effect in respect of the
election of directors. All of the nominees for director are presently serving
as directors of the Company, have agreed to continue to serve if elected and,
other than Ms. Byron, were elected at the 1993 Annual Meeting. If any nominee
shall become unavailable for election, the accompanying proxy will be voted for
a substitute nominee selected by the Board of Directors of the Company and for
the other nominees named below, unless the Board of Directors takes action to
reduce the number of directors. The management of the Company has no reason to
believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.

<PAGE>
In connection with the consideration of nominations of candidates for
election of directors at the 1994 Annual Meeting, the Nominating Committee
waived the requirement that James L. Holloway III and William C. Hittinger not
be nominated as a candidates for election as directors of the Company having
both reached the age 70. The Nominating Committee determined that these waivers
were in the best interest of the Company because of Admiral Holloway's
background and experience in the area of defense programs, in which the Company
has a continuing substantial participation, and Mr. Hittinger's strong
management and financial background, which continues to be a valuable asset to
the Board and the committees on which he serves.
In respect of the election of directors, the nine nominees receiving the
highest number of votes shall be deemed elected. The names of all nominees for
the office of director and information about them, as furnished by the nominees
themselves, are set forth below. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE
STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE FOLLOWING NOMINEES:

DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS--PENSION PLAN TABLE
The Company has a non-tax-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
for Key Employees (the "Supplemental Retirement Plan"), adopted as of December
22, 1983 for the purpose of attracting experienced executives to the Company,
who typically must give up retirement benefits in leaving their employment to
join the Company. The following table sets forth examples of the annual
benefits payable under the Company's Supplemental Retirement Plan upon
retirement for certain specified levels of final average base compensation and
years of service:

</TABLE>
Benefits under the Supplemental Retirement Plan are payable as an annuity,
paid in monthly installments, equal to 60% of the person's final average base
compensation multiplied by a ratio equal to one-tenth of the participant's
years of service, provided, however, that no participant shall receive more
than 10 years of service and such ratio shall equal zero until a participant
completes two years of service. Final average base compensation is defined as
the average of the employee's annual base salary (as set forth in the salary
column of the Summary Compensation Table above) for the three calendar years
that produce the highest annual rate of base salary out of the ten calendar
years prior to termination of employment or retirement. Benefit payments are
not subject to any deduction for Social Security benefits. Benefits become
payable upon a participant's attaining age 65, or upon a participant's death,
in which event benefits are paid to the surviving spouse, if any. However, at a
participant's election, a reduced level of benefits may become payable upon a
termination of employment for a reason other than cause after attaining age 55.
Upon a change in control of the Company, as defined, the Company must purchase
and distribute to each participant an annuity sufficient to provide the
participant's accrued and vested benefit as of the date of such change. The
Supplemental Retirement Plan is financed through life insurance, with the
intent of realizing recovery by the Company of plan payments and related costs.
Messrs. Colussy, Bonasia, Pevenstein, Lange and Kiripolsky are each
participants under the Supplemental Retirement Plan. As of March 2, 1993, Mr.
Colussy was fully vested under the plan and Messrs. Bonasia, Pevenstein, Lange
and Kiripolsky were credited with 5.7, 6.4, 6.6 and 2.8 years of service,
respectively.
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
Dan A. Colussy, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, is serving under an employment agreement whose term expired on
December 31, 1993, but was automatically extended for one year. In the event of
his disability, Mr. Colussy will be entitled to an annual disability benefit of
$150,000 until age 65. The Company is required to provide Mr. Colussy life
insurance coverage of $1,000,000 at the Company's expense.
Mr. Colussy's employment agreement provides for varying severance benefits,
including base salary, additional service credit, coverage under employee
benefit plans for a minimum of three years, vesting of stock options and
restricted stock awards, and some relocation expenses, upon certain events of
termination of employment, such as termination after a change in control or
election by the Company not to renew Mr. Colussy's employment agreement at a
renewal date prior to Mr. Colussy's 65th birthday.
The Company has also entered into agreements with certain key employees,
including Messrs. Bonasia, Pevenstein, Lange and Kiripolsky providing benefits
for a period of three years following a change in control of the Company as
defined in the agreements, including continued employment for a specified
period and vesting of stock options and restricted stock awards. In addition,
these agreements provide the employee an election to terminate his employment
up to one year after a change in control, which will result in a continuation
of salary and benefits for two years following the date of such termination.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Mr. Bonasia, an executive officer of the Company, has an outstanding loan
from the Company the balance of which, as of March 1, 1994, is $129,288,
including accrued interest. The proceeds of the loan were used to facilitate
the purchase of his home when he relocated to the Annapolis area and is
evidenced by a
9
<PAGE>
demand promissory note that bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Mr.
Knapp, an executive officer of the Company, is indebted to the Company in the
amount of $319,465, including accrued interest, as of March 1, 1994, pursuant
to a loan which bears interest at 10%. The proceeds of the loan were used to
facilitate the purchase of a home in connection with his relocation to the
Annapolis area.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A)
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class
of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership. Based solely on its review of copies of the forms received by it, or
written representations from certain reporting persons that they were not
required to file Form 5s, the Company believes that during 1993, all filing
requirements were complied with on a timely basis.
STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Company has required that a substantial portion of the compensation of
its executives and other key employees shall be at risk, based on the financial
performance of the Company against specific goals established by the Board of
Directors.
Under the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan, the Compensation Committee
establishes early each year the business attainment goals to be achieved by the
Company and each of its operating divisions during the year. Incentive
compensation awards for attaining each of these goals can amount to 50% or more
of the base salary (or 33% or more of total compensation) of the Company's
executives, and 30% or more (or 25% or more of total compensation) for
participating key employees of its operating divisions.
The performance of both the Company (or, as applicable, each operating
division) and the individual executive or key employee are further considered
in connection with discretionary awards under the Plan, which can amount to 20%
or more of the award for business goal attainment. As a result, 37.5% or more
of the total compensation of the Company's executives is at risk related to the
financial performance of the Company and, more generally, to their individual
performance.
Company performance, as related to the market price of its stock, is also the
key element in the Company's longer term compensation policy for executives and
key employees of the Company and its operating divisions. Under the Company's
stock plans, approved by its stockholders and administered by the Compensation
Committee, executives and participating key employees receive incentives in the
form of stock options, valued at the market price of the Company's stock at
time of grant, and, on a more limited basis, in the form of restricted stock.
These incentives are potentially substantial, based entirely on increases in
the price of the Company's stock over a period of years in the future. Such
options and restricted stock vest over a period of five years and, in the case
of options, can be exercised, as vested, over a ten year period, providing
longer term performance based incentives.
The Company's stock option program has a feature which the Compensation
Committee believes to be a feature of a relatively small number of option
plans: the requirement that a participant purchase with his or her own funds,
on the open market, a number of shares equal to 25% of his or her award, and
hold that stock in order to be eligible to exercise any portion of the option.
Thus, each executive and key employee of the Company who is a participant in
the option program personally has a substantial economic stake in the
performance of the Company as reflected in the price of its stock, thus further
aligning the interests of executives and key employees with those of the
Company's stockholders.
This performance orientation is also considered by the Compensation Committee
in establishing base salary compensation for the executives of the Company and
the heads of its operating divisions. The degree
10
<PAGE>
to which the performance of the Company as a whole may be a consideration in
determining salary level necessarily varies with the level of the executive or
key employee.
THE COMPANY'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer is established by
the Compensation Committee, and in accordance with Company policy must be
ratified by the entire Board of Directors. The Chief Executive Officer is
responsible to the Board for both the current performance and the future
prospects of the Company as a whole. It is on this basis, and in the light of
his performance of that responsibility, that his base salary, the discretionary
portion of his incentive awards, if any, and his stock option and restricted
stock awards are established.
The current performance of the Company extends in many directions beyond its
day to day operations; it includes the relationship between the Company and its
several key constituencies, including investors, media, financial sources and
federal and state governments and regulatory agencies, as well as the Company's
relationships with its customers and within each of the industries in which it
is engaged. The current performance of the Company also entails an ongoing deep
involvement in developments affecting each of those industries. The current
performance of the Company also includes its day to day operations, including
substantial investment and policy decisions, the monitoring of the results of
operations, the development of opportunities, the remedy of problems and the
resolution of issues.
Of particular importance to the Compensation Committee is establishing the
compensation of the Chief Executive Officer for 1993 were his continued
foresight, direction and leadership in the Company's preparations for and
responses to a continuing and substantial decline in the industries it serves,
from airlines to defense, and that the Company as a whole had fared well, and
in fact had shown stability in earnings, in the face of recession related
problems in its customer industries. Specifically in the later part of 1992,
the Chief Executive Officer initiated an acquisition program to take advantage
of relatively depressed acquisition prices for companies in the aviation
industry, and in early 1993 undertook a plan to both finance the Company's
acquisition program and reduce its cost of capital.
The Compensation Committee also considered the future prospects of the
Company in establishing the Chief Executive Officer's compensation for 1993,
including actions taken and policies established to enhance those prospects.
These included the continued restructuring of the Company, the simplification
of its operating and staff organizations, the reduction of debt and
solidification of its borrowing arrangements and the selective improvement of
executive staff. Of particular importance, the Chief Executive Officer
continued his participation in the development of specific growth opportunities
for the Company on a program of high level customer contacts directed toward
innovative ways in which customer requirements can be met. These include joint
venture proposals with major aircraft users, including airlines, for the
overhaul of engines and accessories, and long range partnership relationships
with major aviation and aerospace customers such as engine and airplane
manufacturers.
However, despite these and other accomplishments during 1993, which included
the successful implementation of a financing program and the completion of six
acquisitions, the overall performance of the Company, against earnings per
share and return on invested capital goals established by the Compensation
Committee early in the year, was insufficient to make an award to the Chief
Executive Officer under the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan for 1993.
COMPANY EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Compensation Committee has followed generally similar criteria in
establishing the compensation of the executive officers of the Company
reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, including those named above in this
proxy statement. In a real sense, the performance of each of these officers
directly affects the
11
<PAGE>
performance of the Company, even though their responsibilities and areas of
action are relatively defined and, in most cases, somewhat specialized.
With regard to the executive officers of the Company as a group for purposes
of this statement, the Compensation Committee establishes their base salary
within salary ranges derived from publicly available survey data that is
principally industry and occupationally specific. The individual executive's
performance of his responsibilities is used to establish his salary level
within that range. The Compensation Committee relies on appropriate corporate
staff input, primarily as to salary ranges, and the recommendations of the
Company's Chief Executive Officer regarding individual performance and salary
level for each of the executive officers of the Company.
As with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the incentive
compensation of each of the executive officers for 1993 was contingent on
business goal attainment and represented a substantial at risk proportion of
his total compensation that was entirely dependent on the financial performance
of the Company against specific goals that were established by the Compensation
Committee for the year. As with the Chief Executive Officer, the Company
performance measures for non-discretionary incentive awards in respect of 1993
were based on earnings per share and return on invested capital. In addition,
also representing at risk compensation, the discretionary award to each
executive officer would have been dependent on Company performance within his
area of responsibility and his individual performance both generally and with
regard to the attainment of specific goals established with each executive.
However, as stated above for the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the
earnings per share and return on invested capital of the Company were not
sufficient to give rise to the making of Incentive Compensation Plan awards for
1993.
Also at risk, and dependent on the performance of the Company as reflected in
the market price of its stock, is the long term stock based compensation
potentially available to executives. The Compensation Committee determines the
stock option and restricted stock awarded to those executives based principally
on the individual performance of their responsibilities and the importance of
that performance with respect to the future prospects of the Company.
Regulations of the Internal Revenue Service are not final regarding
performance based compensation for purposes of the Company's deduction of
compensation for the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or other executive
officers, in excess of $1 million in any one fiscal year. Such limit has not
yet been approached with respect to the Chief Executive Officer or other
executive officer of the Company. For these reasons, the Compensation Committee
has not yet developed a policy with regard to preserving such deductibility.
The Compensation Committee will consider such a policy when final regulations
are issued by the Internal Revenue Service.

direct comparison of such companies with the Company. Companies in the peer
group are AAR Corp., Barnes Group, Inc., Ducommun Incorporated, Ryder Systems,
Inc. and Sequa, Inc.
The Company has been engaged in a restructuring during this period, most
recently selling and discontinuing its environmental businesses and beginning
the shut down of its Naval Products nuclear propulsion facilities in mid-1990.
The year 1991 was the first full year of the Company's operation as solely an
aviation related business.
Also, it should be noted that the chart shows information relating only to
stock prices. It does not purport to show information directly relating to the
business or economic performance of any of the companies, including the

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
KPMG Peat Marwick were previously the principal certifying accountants for
the Company. Following discussions between KPMG Peat Marwick and
representatives of the Company, the parties determined that KPMG Peat Marwick
would cease to serve as the Company's auditors effective February 22, 1994. The
Company's Audit Committee was advised of these discussions and approved of this
action.
In connection with the audits of the Company's consolidated financial
statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, and
in the subsequent interim period through February 22, 1994, there were no
disagreements between the Company and KPMG Peat Marwick on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or auditing
scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to KPMG Peat
Marwick's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference in connection
with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.
The audit report of KPMG Peat Marwick on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer
of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles, except that, as required with respect to changes in
accounting principles, the 1993 audit report made reference to the Company's
adoption in 1993 of the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes.
Members of the management of the Company interviewed four of the "Big 6"
public accounting firms and requested that two of these firms present proposals
to the Audit Committee. On March 17, 1994, the two firms presented their
proposals to the Audit Committee, which, after due consideration, recommended
to the Company's Board of Directors that the firm of Coopers & Lybrand be
appointed as the Company's independent accountants for the year ending December
31, 1994. The Board of Directors approved of the appointment of the firm of
Coopers & Lybrand on March 21, 1994, subject to ratification by the Company's
shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on April 29,
1994.
The following resolution concerning appointment of independent auditors will
be offered at the meeting:
"RESOLVED, that the appointment by the Board of Directors of the
Company of Coopers & Lybrand to audit the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31,
1994, is hereby ratified."
The ratification of auditors is not required to be submitted to a vote of
stockholders, but the Board of Directors has elected to seek ratification of
its selection by the stockholders. The enclosed proxy will be voted as
specified, but if no specification is made it will be voted in favor of
adopting the resolution of ratification. If the stockholders do not ratify this
appointment, other firms of certified public accountants will be considered by
the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Audit Committee.
One or more representatives of Coopers & Lybrand (a) are expected to be
present at the meeting; (b) will have an opportunity to make a statement if
they desire to do so; and (c) are expected to be available to respond to
appropriate questions.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THIS
PROPOSAL.

proposals so as to be received by the Company at 175 Admiral Cochrane Drive,
Annapolis, Maryland 21401-7394, on or before November 12, 1994. In addition,
the Bylaws of the Company require notice of any stockholder proposal, whether
or not inclusion is sought in the Company's proxy statement, to be made in
writing to the Secretary of the Company and must be received at the executive
offices of the Company not less than 90 days in advance of the date of the
Company's proxy statement in connection with the previous year's Annual Meeting
of Stockholders. The Bylaws of the Company also require that nominations of

writing to the Secretary of the Company and must be received at the executive
offices of the Company not less than 90 days in advance of the date of the
Company's proxy statement in connection with the previous year's Annual Meeting

OTHER MATTERS
The cost of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be
borne by the Company. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain officers and
employees of the Company, without extra remuneration, may solicit proxies
personally or by telephone, telegraph or cable. The Company also will request
brokerage houses, nominees, custodians and fiduciaries to forward soliciting
materials to the beneficial owners of the Company's securities and will
reimburse those persons for forwarding the material. The Company has retained
the firm of Chemical Bank to assist in soliciting proxies from the Company's
stockholders by written and oral communications. Such firm will be paid
customary compensation for these services, anticipated to be approximately
$6,000.
It is intended that as to any other matter or business which may be brought
before the meeting, a vote may be cast pursuant to the accompanying proxy in
accordance with the judgment of the person or persons voting the same. The
management does not know of any such other matter or business.
THE COMPANY WILL PROVIDE WITHOUT CHARGE TO EACH BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ITS
