PROSPECTUS
[UNC CORP LOGO APPEARS HERE] UNC INCORPORATED
OFFER TO EXCHANGE ALL OUTSTANDING 11% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE JUNE 1,
2006, FOR 11% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE JUNE 1, 2006 WHICH HAVE BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK
CITY TIME, ON OCTOBER 24, 1996, UNLESS EXTENDED.
UNC Incorporated (the "Company") hereby offers upon the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in the Prospectus and the accompanying letter of
transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal" and, together with this Prospectus,
the "Exchange Offer"), to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to
$125,000,000 of 11% Senior Subordinated Notes Due June 1, 2006 of the Company
("New Notes") which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to a Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus is a part, for an equal principal amount of its issued and
outstanding 11% Senior Subordinated Notes Due June 1, 2006 ("Old Notes"). The
New Notes and the Old Notes are collectively referred to herein as the
"Notes."
The Company will accept for exchange any and all Old Notes that are validly
tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
October 24, 1996, unless the Exchange Offer is extended (the "Expiration
Date"). Tenders of Old Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the Expiration Date. The Exchange Offer is not
conditioned on any minimum principal amount of Old Notes being tendered for
exchange. However, the Exchange Offer is subject to certain customary
conditions which may be waived by the Company. The Company has agreed to pay
the expenses of the Exchange Offer. See "THE EXCHANGE OFFER." There will be no
cash proceeds to the Company from the Exchange Offer. See "USE OF PROCEEDS."
The New Notes are being offered in order to satisfy certain obligations of
the Company under the Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 23, 1996 (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"), among the Company and the Initial Purchasers
(as defined below). The New Notes will be obligations of the Company
evidencing the same indebtedness as the Old Notes and will be entitled to the
benefits of the same Indenture (as defined herein), which governs both the Old
Notes and the New Notes. The terms of the New Notes are identical in all
material respects to the Old Notes except for certain transfer restrictions
and registration rights relating to the Old Notes and except that, if the
Exchange Offer is not consummated by November 26, 1996, the rate at which the
Old Notes bear interest will be 11 1/2% per annum from and including November
26, 1996 until but excluding the date of the consummation of the Exchange
Offer. See "THE EXCHANGE OFFER."
Prior to the Exchange Offer, there has been no established trading market
for the Old Notes or the New Notes. The Company does not intend to apply for
listing or quotation of the New Notes on any securities exchange or stock
market. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any
trading market for the New Notes or that an active public market for the New
Notes will develop. Any Old Notes not tendered and accepted in the Exchange
Offer will remain outstanding. To the extent that Old Notes are tendered and
accepted in the Exchange Offer, a holder's ability to sell untendered, or
tendered but unaccepted, Old Notes could be adversely affected. Following
consummation of the Exchange Offer, the holders of Old Notes will continue to
be subject to the existing restrictions on transfer thereof and the Company
will have no further obligations to such holders to provide for the
registration of the Old Notes under the Securities Act. See "THE EXCHANGE
OFFER."
(Cover continued on following page)

FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY HOLDERS OF
OLD NOTES WHO TENDER THEIR OLD NOTES IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER, SEE "RISK FACTORS"
ON PAGE 19.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS
A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
---------------
THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS IS SEPTEMBER 24, 1996.
<PAGE>
The Old Notes were originally issued and sold on May 30, 1996, to CS First
Boston Corporation and First Union Capital Markets Corp. (collectively, the
"Initial Purchasers") in a transaction not registered under the Securities Act
in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
(the "Initial Offering"). Accordingly, the Old Notes may not be reoffered,
resold or otherwise pledged, hypothecated or transferred in the United States
unless so registered or unless an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws is
available. The Company is making the Exchange Offer in reliance on the
position of the staff (the "Staff") of the Division of Corporation Finance of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as set forth in
certain interpretive letters addressed to third parties in other transactions.
However, the Company has not sought its own interpretive letter and there can
be no assurance that the Staff would make a similar determination with respect
to the Exchange Offer. Based on interpretations by the Staff, the Company
believes that New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for
Old Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by a
holder thereof (other than (i) an "affiliate" of the Company within the
meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (ii) an Initial Purchaser who
acquired Old Notes directly from the Company solely in order to resell
pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act or any other available exemption
under the Securities Act or (iii) a broker-dealer (which may include an
Initial Purchaser) who acquired Old Notes as a result of market-making or
other trading activities) without further compliance with the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, provided that such New
Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holder's business and that
such holder is not participating, and has no arrangement or understanding with
any person to participate, in a distribution (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) of such New Notes.
Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to
the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting
the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such
New Notes. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and
delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it
is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. Based on the
position taken by the Staff, the Company believes that broker-dealers who
acquired Old Notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities ("Participating Broker-Dealers") may fulfill their prospectus
delivery requirements with respect to the New Notes received upon exchange of
such Old Notes with a prospectus prepared for an exchange offer so long as it
contains a description of the plan of distribution with respect to the resale
of such New Notes. Accordingly, this Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a Participating Broker-Dealer
in connection with resales of such New Notes. The Company has agreed that, for
a period of 180 days from the date of this Prospectus, it will make this
Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such
resale. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION." Any holder that cannot rely upon such
interpretations must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale
transaction unless such sale is made pursuant to an exemption from such
requirements.

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 of the Company and the Consolidated Financial Statements of Garrett
included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless the context requires otherwise,
the "Company" refers to UNC Incorporated and its subsidiaries and "Garrett"
refers to Garrett Aviation Services.
THE COMPANY
The Company is a leading supplier of products and services to the aviation
industry. The Company's primary business is the provision of services to the
aviation aftermarket, which accounts for approximately 90% of its revenues.
These operations include the overhaul and repair of aircraft engines and
accessories, the repair and remanufacturing of engine components, and the
provision of training and maintenance services to the United States and foreign
military. Approximately 10% of the Company's revenues in 1995 were derived from
manufacturing engine and airframe parts for original equipment manufacturers
("OEMs").
Prior to the Company's recently completed acquisition of Garrett, described
below (the "Acquisition"), the Company had over 8,000 customers including:
business aircraft operators; major national, regional, foreign, charter and
package/cargo airlines; engine and airframe OEMs; helicopter operators; and the
United States and foreign military. The Company operated 16 facilities,
performed services at approximately 80 government sites and had approximately
5,700 employees. The Acquisition has expanded the Company's range of services,
significantly increased its aggregate customer base, and added six primary
operating locations and approximately 1,100 employees. As a result of the
Acquisition, the Company believes it is the largest independent aviation
services company in the world, with service capabilities for almost all
business aircraft and engines, and a broad range of repair, overhaul and
remanufacturing capabilities for the commercial and military aviation markets.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The primary element of the Company's long-term strategy has been to establish
and maintain a leading position in the aviation aftermarket, with a particular
focus on the business aviation and military services markets. The Company
believes that these markets have generally exhibited a more stable revenue base
than other portions of the aviation industry. In addition, as part of its
overall aftermarket strategy, the Company intends to continue to develop and
implement advanced technology repair services to increase customer value and
strengthen its competitive position. The Company also intends to further its
long-term strategy by expanding its presence in international markets. The
Company believes that the Acquisition will enable the Company to significantly
expand its aviation aftermarket position, particularily in the business
aviation aftermarket, and will allow the Company to leverage its strengths in
advanced repairs, military contracting and international sales.
THE GARRETT ACQUISITION
On May 30, 1996, the Company acquired Garrett, a leading provider of aviation
services to the $3.4 billion worldwide business aviation aftermarket. Garrett
provides a full range of overhaul services to approximately 2,000 business
aviation and regional airline customers, including complete engine and airframe
repair and overhaul capabilities, full interior and exterior refurbishments,
new aircraft completions, avionics installation and spare parts distribution.
Garrett specializes in providing aircraft, engine and avionics aftermarket
services to aircraft powered by AlliedSignal turbofan engines, which are the
leading engine type for the business jet aviation market. Garrett provides its
aircraft and engine maintenance and support through six "fly-in" service
centers across the United States. The Company believes that Garrett enjoys a 50
year reputation for quality and market leadership in its industry segment.
5
<PAGE>
For the year ended December 31, 1995, Garrett recorded approximately $338.1
million in total revenues and approximately $21.7 million of earnings from
continuing operations before extraordinary item, interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization ("EBITDA"). For the year ended December 31, 1995, on a pro
forma basis assuming consummation of the Acquisition and the related
transactions described herein, the Company would have generated approximately
$865.3 million in revenues and approximately $65.5 million of EBITDA. The
Company anticipates additional operating benefits over the next three years as
a result of the Acquisition.
Garrett was sold by AlliedSignal Inc. ("AlliedSignal") in June 1994 to the
group of investors who sold Garrett to the Company. The purchase price for the
Acquisition was approximately $144.6 million in cash and the assumption of
certain Garrett liabilities (including capitalized lease obligations recorded
at approximately $5.4 million). The Garrett sellers retained approximately
$29.1 million in accounts receivable at closing. The Company financed the
Acquisition and related transaction costs by issuing $125.0 million aggregate
principal amount of the Old Notes, by issuing $25.0 million of 8.5% convertible
preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock") and with borrowings under the Company's
Revolving Credit Facility. See "Business--Terms of Garrett Acquisition Purchase
Agreement."
Pursuant to the originally executed Purchase Agreement, the cash portion of
the purchase price for the Acquisition is to be adjusted following closing
based on the net asset value of the assets and liabilities of Garrett acquired
by the Company, determined based upon a post-closing audit. Prior to
consummating the Acquisition, the Company and the Garrett sellers entered into
an amendment to the Purchase Agreement providing that the Garrett sellers would
prepare an estimate prior to closing of the net asset value of the assets and
liabilities of Garrett to be acquired by the Company. If such estimated net
asset value exceeded $47.575 million, the threshold level set in the Purchaser
Agreement, then, at the closing of the Acquisition, the Garrett sellers would
retain accounts receivable in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
Pursuant to such amendment, the Garrett sellers retained approximately $29.1
million in accounts receivable at closing. The final net asset value of the
Garrett assets and liabilities acquired by the Company is to be determined
pursuant to a post-closing audit, following which any necessary adjustment to
the cash portion of the purchase price paid by the Company will be made in
accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
The Company also agreed with AlliedSignal, prior to consummating the
Agreement, that it would cause Garrett to pay all AlliedSignal unpaid invoices
issued on or prior to 30 days before the closing of the Acquisition, subject to
adjustment to resolve disputed invoice amounts. In accordance with this
arrangement, the Company paid AlliedSignal $2.0 million immediately following
the closing of the Acquisition. In addition, the Company and AlliedSignal
agreed to shorten the payment period with respect to the utilization of
AlliedSignal's consigned parts inventory, thereby requiring increased working
capital.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company amended its existing
Revolving Credit Facility prior to closing the Acquisition to provide for a
revolving line of credit of up to $110 million. As of June 30, 1996, the
Company had the ability to borrow up to an additional $37.1 million under the
Revolving Credit Facility. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Business--Terms of Garrett
Acquisition Purchase Agreement" and "Description of Certain Indebtedness--
Revolving Credit Facility."
BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
Garrett's business strategy since becoming independent in mid-1994 has
focused on expanding its engine overhaul capability beyond AlliedSignal
engines, broadening its parts repair and accessory overhaul services and
expanding its airframe and avionics operations. The Company believes that the
Acquisition is particularly attractive because the strategies of both companies
are complementary, and believes that the joining of the companies accelerates
the fulfillment of these strategies. The complementary nature of the businesses
and
6
<PAGE>
strategies of the Company and Garrett create a range of anticipated benefits
from the Acquisition, including among others the following:
. Parts and Accessory Repairs. Other subsidiaries of the Company are able
to perform certain repair and overhaul services for Garrett which
Garrett is unable to provide, a portion of which will be performed
pursuant to an agreement the Company has reached with AlliedSignal
providing the Company with $15.0 million in annual orders for the repair
of AlliedSignal parts and components during the term of the agreement.
The Company also expects to be able to provide Garrett customers with
repairs and overhauls for accessory components and systems for all types
of business aircraft.
. Expansion of Airframe and Avionics Services. The Company intends to
expand upon Garrett's airframe and avionics maintenance business by
using the Company's established customer base to offer Garrett's
airframe and avionics services to operators of aircraft using a broader
range of engine types. The Company believes that the airframe and
avionics sectors are growing faster than the overall business aviation
market.
. Expansion of Customer Base. The Acquisition permits the Company and
Garrett to expand their base of customers. The Company will be able to
direct to Garrett a number of its customers who require Garrett's
capabilities while Garrett will direct to other subsidiaries of the
Company customers who require services on engine types for which Garrett
has no overhaul capability.
. Military Services. The Company plans to expand its military services
operations by offering Garrett's nationwide full service aviation
aftermarket capabilities to the Company's military and other
governmental customers.
. Increased Global Presence. The Company believes that there is a market
for Garrett's services overseas and intends to market these services to
foreign customers through the Company's growing network of international
sales offices.
THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Registration Rights
Agreement .................. The Old Notes were sold by the Company on
May 30, 1996 to CS First Boston Corporation
and First Union Capital Markets Corp.
(collectively, the "Initial Purchasers"),
which placed the Old Notes with "qualified
institutional buyers" (as defined in Rule
144A under the Securities Act) and to a
limited number of institutions which the
Initial Purchasers reasonably believed to
be institutional "accredited investors" (as
defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7)
under the Securities Act). In connection
therewith, the Company executed and
delivered for the benefit of the holders of
Old Notes the Registration Rights
Agreement, providing for, among other
things, the Exchange Offer.
The Exchange Offer.......... The Company is offering to exchange up to
$125.0 million aggregate principal amount
of Old Notes for an equal principal amount
of New Notes. The New Notes will be
obligations of the Company evidencing the
same indebtedness as the Old Notes and will
be entitled to the benefits of the
Indenture, which governs both the Old Notes
and the New Notes. The terms of the New
Notes are identical in all material
respects to the Old Notes except for
certain transfer restrictions and
registration rights relating to the Old
Notes and except that, if the Exchange
7
<PAGE>
Offer is not consummated by November 26,
1996, the rate at which the Old Notes bear
interest will be 11 1/2% per annum from and
including November 26, 1996 until but
excluding the date of the consummation of
the Exchange Offer.
In addition, to comply with the securities
laws of certain states of the United
States, it may be necessary to qualify for
sale or register thereunder the New Notes
prior to offering or selling such New
Notes. The Company has agreed, pursuant to
the Registration Rights Agreement, subject
to certain limitations specified therein,
to register or qualify the New Notes for
offer or sale under the securities laws of
such states as any holder reasonably
requests in writing. Unless a holder so
requests, the Company does not intend to
register or qualify the sale of the New
Notes in any such jurisdictions.
Resales of New Notes........ The New Notes issued pursuant to the
Exchange Offer in exchange for the Old
Notes may be offered for resale, resold and
otherwise transferred by holders thereof
(other than any holder which is (i) an
"affiliate" of the Company within the
meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities
Act, (ii) an Initial Purchaser who acquired
Old Notes directly from the Company solely
in order to resell pursuant to Rule 144A of
the Securities Act or any other available
exemption under the Securities Act or (iii)
a broker-dealer (which may include an
Initial Purchaser) who acquired Old Notes
as a result of market-making or other
trading activities), without further
compliance with the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act; provided, that such New
Notes are acquired in the ordinary course
of such holder's business and that such
holder is not participating, and has no
arrangement or understanding with any
person to participate, in a distribution
(within the meaning of the Securities Act)
of such New Notes.
Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes
for its own account pursuant to the
Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it
acquired the Old Notes as the result of
market-making or trading activities and
must agree that it will deliver a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the
Securities Act in connection with any
resale of such New Notes. The Letter of
Transmittal states that by so acknowledging
and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-
dealer will not be deemed to admit that it
is an "underwriter" within the meaning of
the Securities Act. Based on the position
taken by the Staff, the Company believes
that Participating Broker-Dealers may
fulfill their prospectus delivery
requirements with respect to the New Notes
received upon exchange of such Old Notes
with a prospectus meeting the requirements
of the Securities Act, which may be the
prospectus prepared for an exchange offer
so long as it contains a
8
<PAGE>
description of the plan of distribution
with respect to the resale of such New
Notes. Accordingly, this Prospectus, as it
may be amended or supplemented from time to
time, may be used by a Participating
Broker-Dealer during the period referred to
below in connection with resales of such
New Notes. Subject to certain provisions
set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company has agreed that this
Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used
by a Participating Broker-Dealer in
connection with resales of such New Notes
for a period ending 180 days after the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement
of which this Prospectus is a part (subject
to extension under certain limited
circumstances described herein) or, if
earlier, when all such New Notes have been
disposed of by the Participating Broker-
Dealer. See "THE EXCHANGE OFFER" and "PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION."
No Minimum Condition........ The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon
any minimum aggregate principal amount of
Old Notes being tendered for exchange.
Expiration Date............. The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on October 24 ,
1996 (the "Expiration Date"), unless the
Exchange Offer is extended, in which case
the term "Expiration Date" means the latest
date and time to which the Exchange Offer
is extended.
Withdrawal Rights........... Tenders may be withdrawn at any time prior
to the Expiration Date. Any Old Notes which
have been tendered for exchange but which
are not exchanged for any reason will be
returned to the holder thereof (or credited
to the appropriate account) without cost to
such to such holder as soon as practicable

Old Notes or, if no interest has been paid
on the Old Notes, from May 30, 1996.
Interest on the New Notes is payable
semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of
each year, commencing December 1, 1996.

<PAGE>
Procedures for Tendering ... Tendering holders of Old Notes must
complete and sign the Letter of Transmittal
in accordance with the instructions
contained therein and forward the same by
mail, facsimile or hand delivery, together
with any other required documents, to the
Exchange Agent, either with the Old Notes
to be tendered or in compliance with the
specified procedures for guaranteed
delivery of Old Notes. Certain brokers,
dealers, commercial banks, trust companies
and other nominees may also effect tenders
by book-entry transfer. Holders of Old
Notes registered in the name of a broker-
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or
other nominee are urged to contact such
person promptly if they wish to tender Old
Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. See
"THE EXCHANGE OFFER--Procedures for
Tendering." Letters of Transmittal and
certificates representing Old Notes should
not be sent to the Company. Such documents
should only be sent to the Exchange Agent.
Questions regarding how to tender and
requests for information should be directed
to the Exchange Agent. See "THE EXCHANGE
OFFER--Exchange Agent."
Acceptance of Old Notes and
Delivery of New Notes ..... Subject to certain conditions, the Company
will accept for exchange any and all Old
Notes which are properly tendered in the
Exchange Offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the Expiration Date. The New
Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer
will be delivered promptly following the
Expiration Date. See "THE EXCHANGE OFFER--
Terms of the Exchange Offer."
Certain Federal Income Tax
Consequences............... The exchange of Old Notes for New Notes by
holders should not be a sale or exchange or
otherwise a taxable event for United States
federal income tax purposes, and holders
should not recognize any taxable gain or
loss or any interest income as a result of
such exchange.
Exchange Agent.............. The Bank of New York is serving as exchange
agent (the "Exchange Agent") in connection
with the Exchange Offer.
Effect on Holders of Old
Notes ...................... Holders of Old Notes who do not tender
their Old Notes in the Exchange Offer will
continue to hold their Old Notes and will
be entitled to all the rights and
limitations applicable thereto under the
Indenture. All untendered, and tendered but
unaccepted, Old Notes will continue to be
subject to the restrictions on transfer
provided for in the Old Notes and the
Indenture. To the extent that Old Notes are
tendered and accepted in the Exchange
Offer, the trading market, if any, for the
Old Notes could be adversely affected. See
"RISK FACTORS--Consequences of Exchange and
Failure to Exchange."

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW NOTES
June 1, 2006
Maturity Date...............
Interest Payment Dates...... June 1 and December 1 of each year,
commencing December 1, 1996.
Optional Redemption......... The New Notes will not be redeemable by the
Company prior to June 1, 2001. Thereafter,
the New Notes will be redeemable at any
time, at the option of the Company, in
whole or in part, at the redemption prices
set forth herein together with accrued
interest thereon to the date fixed for
redemption. See "Description of Notes--
Optional Redemption."
Change of Control........... Upon a Change of Control, each holder of
New Notes will have the right to require
the Company to repurchase the New Notes at
101% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued interest to the date of repurchase.
See "Description of Notes--Right to Require
Repurchase Upon Change of Control."
Subordination............... The New Notes will be senior subordinated
unsecured obligations of the Company and
will be subordinated in right of payment to
all Senior Debt of the Company, including
all indebtedness outstanding under the
Company's Revolving credit facility (the
"Revolving Credit Facility") and the
Company's 9 1/8% Senior Notes Due 2003 (the
"9 1/8% Notes"). Indebtedness under the
Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized
by the accounts receivable, inventory and
other assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (as defined herein). As of
June 30, 1996, the amount of Senior Debt of
the Company was approximately $169.5
million (including approximately $61.7
million under the Revolving Credit Facility
and $100 million of 9 1/8% Notes) and the
Company had the ability to borrow up to an
additional $37.1 million under the
Revolving Credit Facility. See "Risk
Factors--Subordination of the Notes,"
"Description of Certain Indebtedness--
Revolving Credit Facility," "Description of
Notes--Subordination" and "Description of
Notes--Certain Covenants."
Guarantees.................. The Company's obligations under the New
Notes will be guaranteed by the Company's
domestic wholly owned operating
Subsidiaries, including the Subsidiary that
acquired the assets of Garrett (the
"Guarantees"). Each Guarantee will be a
senior subordinated unsecured obligation of
the Guarantor providing such Guarantee and
will be subordinated in right of payment to
all Senior Debt of the Guarantors. The
Company's domestic wholly owned
Subsidiaries have guaranteed the
indebtedness outstanding under the
Revolving Credit Facility (the "Subsidiary
Bank Guarantees"). The Subsidiary Bank
Guarantees are collateralized by the
accounts receivable,
11
<PAGE>
inventory and other assets of the
Subsidiaries and therefore effectively rank
senior to the Guarantees. The 9 1/8% Notes
are guaranteed by the Guarantors on a
senior basis to the Guarantees of the
Notes. As of June 30, 1996, the amount of
Senior Debt of the Guarantors was
approximately $167.3 million (including the
Subsidiary Bank Guarantees and the
Guarantors' guarantees of the 9 1/8%
Notes). The Guarantees (and the Guarantors'
guarantees of the 9 1/8% Notes) will be in
effect only for as long as the Subsidiary
Bank Guarantees remain in effect. If the
Guarantees are terminated, the New Notes
will be obligations solely of the Company
and will be effectively subordinated to all
existing and future indebtedness of the
Subsidiaries. See "Description of Notes--
Guarantees."
Restrictive Covenants....... The indenture under which the Old Notes
were and the New Notes will be issued (the
"Indenture") limits, among other things,
(i) the issuance of additional Indebtedness
(as defined herein) by the Company; (ii)
the issuance of debt and preferred stock by
the Company's Subsidiaries; (iii) the
incurrence of liens on assets of the
Company and its Subsidiaries; (iv) the
payment of dividends on, and redemption of,
capital stock of the Company and its
Subsidiaries and the redemption of certain
subordinated obligations of the Company;
(v) investments in certain affiliates; (vi)
sales of assets, including Subsidiary
stock; (vii) transactions with affiliates;
(viii) consolidations, mergers, and
transfers of all or substantially all
assets. The Indenture also prohibits
certain restrictions on distributions from
Subsidiaries. However, all of these
limitations and prohibitions are subject to
a number of important qualifications. See
"Description of Notes--Certain Covenants."
RISK FACTORS
Holders should consider carefully the information set forth under the caption
"Risk Factors" as well as the other information and data set forth in this
Prospectus prior to tendering Old Notes in the Exchange Offer.

SUMMARY PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(UNAUDITED)
The following tables set forth unaudited summary pro forma combined financial
data of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 and the six
months ended June 30, 1996. The income statement data of Garrett set forth in
the table for the six months ended June 30, 1996 reflects Garrett's results of
operations for the period January 1, 1996 through May 30, 1996, the date on
which the Company acquired Garrett. The financial data for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 were derived from the Company's and Garrett's unaudited
Consolidated Financial Statements which, in the opinion of management, reflect
all adjustments, (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary
for a fair presentation of the interim period. The purchase price and the
related financial data may be adjusted in the future to reflect changes that
result from the completion of an audit of the Garrett balance sheet as of the
closing date of the Acquisition and related procedures. See "Business--Terms of
Garrett Acquisition Purchase Agreement." The summary pro forma combined
financial data is derived from the historical Consolidated Financial Statements
of each of the Company and Garrett included elsewhere in this Prospectus,
adjusted to give pro forma effect to the offering of the Old Notes, the
issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Acquisition, the UNC/AlliedSignal
Agreement (as defined herein) and the Company's recent divestiture of UNC
Airwork's AlliedSignal TFE731 heavy maintenance business (the "Heavy
Maintenance Business"). See "Business--Hart-Scott-Rodino Proceedings" and "--
UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement." The pro forma Income Statement Data and Other Data
is presented for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June
30, 1996 and gives effect to the offering of the Old Notes, the issuance of
Preferred Stock, the Acquisition, the UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement and the
divestiture of the Heavy Maintenance Business as if they had occurred on
January 1, 1995. The pro forma information is provided to assist in
understanding the recent Acquisition and such other transactions and does not
necessarily reflect the actual results of operations that would have occurred
if the operations of the Company and Garrett had been combined or such other
transactions had occurred during the year ended December 31, 1995 or the six
months ended June 30, 1996 or the results of operations that will be achieved
by the combined companies in future periods. The pro forma adjustments are
based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company's
management believes are reasonable. All information contained in the following
table should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements
and related notes of the Company and Garrett included elsewhere in this
Prospectus and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."

(a) In connection with the Acquisition, the Company sold the Heavy Maintenance
Business to Sabreliner Corporation ("Sabreliner") for approximately book
value. See "Business--Hart-Scott-Rodino Proceedings." Assuming the sale
occurred on January 1, 1995, the effect on the Company's operations as a
result of the divestiture of the Heavy Maintenance Business would have
been:

------ ------
Reduction in operating income......................... $1,205 $ 683
====== ======
</TABLE>
(b) The Company has specifically identified cost reductions and other operating
income enhancements resulting from a business integration plan which the
Company is implementing. The business integration plan contemplates: (i)
implementation of the agreement between the Company and AlliedSignal
providing the Company with $15.0 million in annual orders for the repair of
AlliedSignal parts and components during the term of the agreement, which
will include parts and components sent by Garrett to AlliedSignal for such
service; and (ii) the elimination of certain management fees and consulting
fees and reducing certain other administrative costs such as insurance and
professional fees previously paid by Garrett. See "Business--
UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement."
The Company's business integration plan provides for the events generating
these reductions to occur in phases, beginning in the initial year following
the Acquisition. The pro forma results reflect savings and operating
efficiencies the Company expects during the initial year following the
consummation of the Acquisition. The Company expects to realize other
benefits during the three years following the Acquisition. Assuming the
Acquisition occurred on January 1, 1995 and the phase-in of the business
integration plan commenced as of such date, the expected cost reductions, on
a pro forma basis, for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months
ended June 30, 1996 are as follows:

(c) Represents the amortization of the cost in excess of net assets acquired
from Garrett of $4,406 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $1,836 for
the five months ended May 30, 1996, assuming the acquisition had been
consummated on January 1, 1995, offset by the elimination of $1,397 and
$271 of cost applicable to Garrett's amortization of intangible assets for
the year ended December 31, 1995 and the five months ended May 30, 1996,
respectively.
(d) Reflects the additional interest expense of $14,019 and $6,318 (at the
actual rate of 11% on the Old Notes and New Notes) for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and the five months ended May 30, 1996, respectively,
that would have been incurred had the Acquisition, the offering of the Old
Notes, the UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement and the sale of the Heavy Maintenance
Business taken place on January 1, 1995, offset by elimination of interest
of $2,948 and $1,241 of Garrett for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
the five months ended May 30, 1996, respectively, on senior bank debt that
is not being assumed by the Company.
(e) EBITDA reflects earnings (loss) from continuing operations, before
extraordinary item, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA
and the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense do not take into account
certain expenses that are reflected in the calculation of net income in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), are not
intended to represent any measure of performance in accordance with GAAP,
and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash
provided by operating activities, net income or any other consolidated
income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The adjustments to arrive at pro forma EBITDA reflects the cumulative effect
of the previously described adjustments in notes (a), (b), (c) and (d)
above.
(f) Reflects the net effect of the various acquisition adjustments and the sale
of the Heavy Maintenance Business on working capital of the combined
companies.
(g) The Acquisition, which was consummated on May 30, 1996, will be accounted
for as a purchase pursuant to APB Opinion No. 16 "Business Combinations."
The purchase cost will be allocated to the assets and liabilities of
Garrett based on their fair values. The assets and liabilities of Garrett
are included in the Combined Pro Forma Financial Statements and the
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of June 30, 1996,
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus, at values reflecting preliminary
allocations of the purchase price. The final allocation of the purchase
price is subject to final determination based on the conclusion of an audit
of the closing balance sheet of Garrett and valuations and other studies
currently being performed by the Company. The preliminary allocation of the
purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is
being amortized over a period of thirty years using the straight line
method.
The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 reflect the effect of the Acquisition, the offering of the
Old Notes, the issuance of the Preferred Stock, and the Company's
divestiture of UNC Airwork's AlliedSignal TFE731 heavy maintenance line.
Consequently, no pro forma balance sheet is necessary as of June 30, 1996.
(h) Represents the net effect on total assets of the sale of the Heavy
Maintenance Business to Sabreliner. See "Business--Hart-Scott-Rodino
Proceedings" included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
(i) Reflects the elimination of the cash balance of Garrett, which is an asset
that was not acquired.
(j) These adjustments reflect the issuance of $125,000 in Old Notes and an
increase of $4,966 in the Company's Revolving Credit Facility to fund
certain related costs, offset by the elimination of $34,750 of Garrett's
senior debt that was not assumed in the Acquisition.
(k) Reflects the $25,000 of the Preferred Stock issued as a part of the
Acquisition offset by the elimination of Garrett's equity, and the
adjustment related to the agreement to issue up to 225,000 shares of common
stock and the grant of options for the purchase of up to 450,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock to certain executives of Garrett.
(l) For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
earnings are defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before
income taxes, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense
on continuing and discontinued operations (including amortization of
deferred debt issuance costs and discount) and the portion of operating
lease expense that is representative of the interest factor.

fair presentation of the interim period data. Information presented with
respect to Garrett for the six months ended December 31, 1994 reflects the
operations of Garrett from and after July 1, 1994, the date on which Garrett
was acquired from AlliedSignal. The results of the Company and Garrett for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year. The following tables should be read in conjunction with
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company
and Garrett included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

liquidation or in troubled financial condition, the write-down of goodwill
related to a defense oriented business, and other operating items. Of these
charges, $14.0 million is classified as other charges and $7.0 million was
charged to cost of sales for the write-down of certain inventories.
(b) Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 1994 included a
restructuring charge of $58.7 million in connection with a strategic
program to reduce the Company's cost structure and asset base in light of
industry conditions at that time. The charge includes accruals for the cost
of closing the Company's commercial aircraft engine overhaul facility in
Burbank, California, as well as adjustments to the carrying values of
certain assets positioned for sale. The Company also accrued a $14.0
million non-cash charge for withdrawal from a multi-employer pension plan
which had been underfunded by its trustees. In addition, the 1994 results
of operations include a one-time charge of $9.6 million for adjustments
related to the carrying value of certain long-term manufacturing contracts,
and increases in allowance for doubtful accounts. See Note 2 to the
Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular.
(c) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in 1991 and
1994 includes the impact of the restructuring and other charges discussed
in Notes a and b above. EBITDA reflects earnings (loss) from continuing
operations, before extraordinary item, interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. EBITDA and the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense do not
take into account certain expenses that are reflected in the calculation of
net income in accordance with GAAP, are not intended to represent any
measure of performance in accordance with GAAP, and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash provided by operating
activities, net income or any other consolidated income statement data
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(d) For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
earnings are defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before
income taxes, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense
of continuing and discontinued operations (including amortization of
deferred debt issuance costs and discount) and the portion of operating
lease expense that is representative of the interest factor. For the years
1991 and 1994, earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $26.7
million and $81.8 million, respectively. Fixed charges in 1991 and 1994
were funded through a combination of working capital investing activities
and additional borrowings and did not result in a default in any interest
or rental payments.

- --------
(a) Garrett was acquired on June 30, 1994 through the owner's acquisition of
certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities from AlliedSignal.
See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Garrett included
elsewhere in this Prospectus. Management of Garrett believes that financial
statements with respect to the Hangar Operations of the business prior to
its divestiture by AlliedSignal are not comparable to the financial
statements of Garrett subsequent to its divestiture primarily because (a)
prior to July 1, 1994 the cost of sales for parts consumed in the business
was recognized on the basis of AlliedSignal's manufacturing cost while
Garrett's cost for AlliedSignal parts used in the Garrett Business
subsequent to divestiture is based on a negotiated purchase price; (b)
AlliedSignal supplies Garrett with inventory on a consigned basis, which
was not the case prior to the divestitures; (c) Garrett was not treated as
a stand-alone business by AlliedSignal and, therefore, certain cost
allocations, principally certain general and administrative costs, were not
made based upon what an independent business would incur; and (d) warranty
work was not reported as revenue but rather as an intercompany transfer of
cost.
(b) EBITDA reflects earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA and the ratio of EBITDA do not
take into account certain expenses that are reflected in the calculation of
net income in accordance with GAAP, are not intended to represent any
measure of performance in accordance with GAAP, and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash provided by operating
activities, net income or any other consolidated income statement data
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(c) For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
earnings are defined as net earnings (loss) from continuing operations
before income taxes, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest
expense of continuing and discontinued operations (including amortization
of deferred debt issuance costs and discount) and the portion of operating
lease expense that is representative of the interest factor.
(d) Prior to the divestiture of the AlliedSignal Engines-Hangar Operations by
AlliedSignal, the Hangar Operations incurred only a nominal amount of
interest expense, $0.2 million in 1993 and $0.1 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1994. Consequently, because of the nominal amount of
interest expense incurred and reasons described in note (a) above, the
ratio of EBITDA to interest expense and earnings to fixed charges are not
comparable to these ratios after the divestiture by AlliedSignal.

<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
Holders of the Old Notes should carefully consider the following risk
factors, as well as other information set forth in this Prospectus, before
tendering their Old Notes in the Exchange Offer. The risk factors set forth
below (other than "Consequences of Exchange and Failure to Exchange") are
generally applicable to the Old Notes as well as the New Notes.
CONSEQUENCES OF EXCHANGE AND FAILURE TO EXCHANGE
Holders of Old Notes who do not exchange their Old Notes for New Notes
pursuant to the Exchange Offer will continue to be subject to the restrictions
on transfer of such Old Notes as set forth in the legend thereon as a
consequence of the issuance of the Old Notes pursuant to exemptions from, or
in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In general, the Old Notes
may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Company does not
currently anticipate that it will register the Old Notes under the Securities
Act. In addition, upon the consummation of the Exchange Offer holders of Old
Notes which remain outstanding will not be entitled to any rights to have such
Old Notes registered under the Securities Act or to any similar rights under
the Registration Rights Agreement. To the extent that Old Notes are tendered
and accepted in the Exchange Offer, a holder's ability to sell untendered, or
tendered but unaccepted, Old Notes could be adversely affected. The Old Notes
provide that if the Exchange has not been consummated by, nor a shelf
registration statement has been declared effective by, November 26, 1996, the
respective interests rates on the Old Notes will increase by 0.50% per annum
from and including November 26, 1996 until but excluding the date on which the
Exchange Offer is consummated or a shelf registration has been declared
effective.
ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET
The New Notes are being offered to the Holders of the Old Notes. There is no
existing trading market for the New Notes and there can be no assurance
regarding the future development of such a market for the New Notes or the
ability of holders of the New Notes to sell their New Notes or the price at
which such holders may be able to sell their New Notes. If such a market were
to develop, future trading prices will depend on many factors, including,
among other things, prevailing interest rates, the operating results of the
Company, and the market for similar securities. The Company does not intend to
apply for listing or quotation of the New Notes on any securities exchange or
stock market.
LEVERAGE
As of June 30, 1996, the Company's consolidated indebtedness was $359.3
million and its ratio of total debt to total capitalization was 73.2% and the
Company had the ability to borrow up to an additional $37.1 million under the
Revolving Credit Facility. Subject to certain restrictions contained in the
Revolving Credit Facility and the Notes, the Company and its subsidiaries may
incur additional indebtedness in the future. See "Description of Certain
Indebtedness--Revolving Credit Facility" and "Description of Notes." In
addition, the Company anticipates a short-term need to access working capital
relating to the Acquisition, which may require the incurrence of additional
indebtedness through borrowings of available amounts under the Revolving
Credit Facility. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations." Although the Acquisition is expected to
increase and diversify the Company's cash flow from operations, the aggregate
amount of Company indebtedness has been increased significantly as a result of
the Acquisition. Increased leverage will, among other things, require the
dedication of additional portions of cash flow to make interest and principal
payments and may increase the Company's vulnerability in the event that a
downturn in its business were to occur.
19
<PAGE>
RISKS RELATED TO REALIZING BENEFITS FROM THE ACQUISITION
Management expects to realize certain cost savings as a result of the
Acquisition which are summarized in the pro forma combined financial
statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Additional cost savings and
other business synergies are anticipated to occur over the next three years.
While the Company believes that it can improve the profitability of the
operations of Garrett and the Company on a combined basis given the cost
savings and operating synergies the Company expects to achieve, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to realize the cost savings
reflected in the pro forma combined financial statements or other expected
cost savings and operating synergies following the Acquisition. Realization of
such operating and economic efficiencies could also be affected by a number of
factors beyond the Company's control, such as general economic conditions,
increased operating costs, the response of competitors or customers,
regulatory developments and delays in implementation.
ALLIEDSIGNAL AGREEMENTS
The Company has succeeded to all of Garrett's rights and obligations under
the terms of an operating agreement between Garrett and AlliedSignal. The
Company believes that this Agreement will provide the Company with significant
advantages. However, the AlliedSignal operating agreement may be terminated by
AlliedSignal, among other reasons, following a material decrease in customer
satisfaction relating to Garrett's services which has a material adverse
effect on AlliedSignal's aviation business or following a significant loss in
market share by Garrett which continues beyond a specified level for four
consecutive quarters. A significant change in, or loss of, the operating
agreement could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations. See "Business--The Garrett Acquisition."
AlliedSignal and the Company have entered into a separate agreement pursuant
to which AlliedSignal has agreed to provide the Company with $15.0 million in
annual orders for the repair of AlliedSignal parts and components through
December 31, 1997. The Agreement also provides that the parties will hold
business discussions concerning all elements of the relationship among the
Company, Garrett and AlliedSignal in the near future. While the Company has no
reason to believe that these discussions will not proceed favorably, there can
be no assurance that AlliedSignal's obligation to provide the Company with
orders for parts and component repairs will be extended beyond December 31,
1997 or that it will be extended on terms as favorable to the Company as those
presently in effect. See "Business--UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement" and "Pro Forma
Combined Financial Information."
COMMERCIAL AIRLINE INDUSTRY
The Company's manufacturing operations are driven in part by the demand for
new aircraft from the commercial airline industry. As a result, a portion of
the Company's business is directly dependent upon the conditions in that
industry which are highly cyclical and competitive. The commercial airline
industry in the United States is currently experiencing an economic
turnaround. In the prior five years, the industry had suffered a severe
downturn which had resulted in record losses and the cancellation and delay of
orders for new aircraft, which impacted the Company's OEM manufacturing
operations. The recent upturn in the industry is causing increased demand for
new aircraft to meet the increasing demands for air travel. Due to the
volatility of the airline industry, there can be no assurance that the recent
profitability of the airline industry will continue or that the airlines will
maintain or increase expenditures for new aircraft. In addition, the airline
industry is undergoing a process of consolidation. Such consolidation could
result in a reduction in future aircraft orders as overlapping routes are
eliminated and airlines seek greater economies through higher aircraft
utilization.
DEFENSE SPENDING LEVELS
Many of the Company's Aviation Services Division's contracts are funded by
the operations and maintenance ("O&M") budget of the United States Department
of Defense. The O&M budget has remained stable over the last four years and is
projected to remain relatively flat through the end of the decade, despite a
decline in the Department of Defense's overall budget. The Company believes
that more maintenance work
20
<PAGE>
under the O&M budget will be outsourced in the future to lower cost private
sector suppliers, such as the Company, to meet ongoing Department of Defense
budget pressures in other budget areas, such as new or modernized weapons
systems. There can be no assurance, however, that the Department of Defense
will outsource significant amounts of additional work to entities such as the
Company or that federal budgetary pressures will not adversely affect the
Company.
LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company and Garrett are involved in a variety of legal proceedings and
environmental matters. Although the Company presently believes that the
resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the
operating results, liquidity or financial condition of the Company, there can
be no assurance as to the final resolution of these matters. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,"
Note 11 to the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Garrett appearing elsewhere
in this Prospectus.
SUBORDINATION OF THE NEW NOTES
The New Notes and the Guarantees will be subordinated in right of payment to
all Senior Debt of the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, including all
indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, the amount of
Senior Debt of the Company was $169.5 million (including approximately $61.7
million under the Revolving Credit Facility and $100.0 million of 9 1/8%
Notes), the amount of Senior Debt of the Guarantors was $167.3 million
(including the Guarantors' guarantees of the Revolving Credit Facility and the
9 1/8% Notes), and the Company had the ability to borrow up to an additional
$37.1 million under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company upon liquidation,
dissolution, reorganization or any similar proceeding, the holders of Senior
Debt will be entitled to receive payment in full before the Holders of New
Notes are entitled to receive any payment. In addition, the Company may not
make any payments in respect of the New Notes during the continuance of a
payment default under any Designated Senior Debt (as defined herein).
Moreover, if certain non-payment defaults exist under any Designated Senior
Debt, the Company may not make any payments in respect of the New Notes for a
specified period of time.
The obligations of the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility are,
subject to certain limitations, guaranteed by each of the Company's domestic
wholly-owned operating Subsidiaries. The obligations of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, whether as borrower or guarantor, are collateralized under the
Revolving Credit Facility by accounts receivable, inventory and other assets.
The New Notes and the Guarantees will be unsecured and, therefore, do not have
the benefit of such collateral. If the Company becomes insolvent or is
liquidated or if the indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility is
accelerated, the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility will be entitled
to payment in full from the proceeds of their collateral prior to any payment
to the Holders of the New Notes. In such event, it is possible that there
would be no assets remaining from which claims of the Holders of the New Notes
could be satisfied or, if any assets remain, such assets may be insufficient
to fully satisfy such claims.
The Company is a holding company that conducts virtually all of its
operations and derives virtually all of its income through its subsidiaries.
Therefore, the Company's ability to make required principal and interest
payments with respect to the Company's indebtedness, including the New Notes,
depends on the earnings of its Subsidiaries and on its ability to receive
funds from such Subsidiaries through dividends or other payments. The
Indenture, among other things, limits the incurrence of additional
indebtedness and the issuance of preferred stock by the Company's Subsidiaries
and prohibits certain restrictions on distributions from Subsidiaries.
However, these limitations and prohibitions are subject to a number of
important qualifications. See "Description of Notes--Ranking," "--Guarantees"
and "--Certain Covenants."
The Guarantees will be in effect only for as long as the Subsidiary Bank
Guarantees remain in effect. If the Guarantees are terminated, the New Notes
shall be obligations solely of the Company, and the Subsidiaries will
21
<PAGE>
not be obligated or required to pay any amounts due pursuant to the New Notes
or to make funds available therefor in the form of dividends or advances to
the Company. If such termination occurs, the New Notes will be effectively
subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of the Subsidiaries.
Because the Revolving Credit Facility does not provide for any specific
conditions under which the Subsidiary Bank Guarantees will be terminated
during the term of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Subsidiary Bank
Guarantees may only be terminated upon the waiver or release of some or all of
the Subsidiary Bank Guarantees by the banks under the Revolving Credit
Facility, or upon the liquidation, dissolution or disposition of the
applicable Subsidiary. Because it is possible that the Subsidiary Bank
Guarantees could be waived or released by the banks under the Revolving Credit
Facility at any time, including upon an event of default under the New Notes,
there can be no assurance that holders of the New Notes will have the right to
proceed directly against the Company's guaranteeing Subsidiaries under the
terms of the Guarantees. From time to time the interests of the banks in
maintaining the Subsidiary Bank Guarantees under the Revolving Credit Facility
may differ from the interests of the holders of the New Notes.
USE OF PROCEEDS
There will be no proceeds to the Company from the exchange of the Old Notes
for the New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The Company used the net
proceeds received from the issuance of the Old Notes to the Initial Purchasers
in the Initial Offering (after deduction of certain transaction costs) to
finance a portion of its recent acquisition of Garrett.
THE EXCHANGE OFFER
PURPOSE OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER
In connection with the sale of the Old Notes to the Initial Purchasers on
May 30, 1996, the Company executed and delivered for the benefit of the
holders of the Old Notes the Registration Rights Agreement. The Exchange Offer
is being made by the Company to satisfy its obligations pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, which requires the Company to (i) use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement, of which this
Prospectus is a part, relating to the Exchange Offer to be declared effective
by the Commission prior to October 28, 1996, (ii) keep the Exchange Offer open
for a period of not less than 30 days from the date notice is mailed to
holders of the Old Notes, and (iii) maintain the Registration Statement
continuously effective for a period of not less than the longer of (A) the
period until consummation of the Exchange Offer and (B) 180 days after
effectiveness of the Registration Statement (subject to extension under
certain limited circumstances), provided that, in the event that all resales
of New Notes covered by the Registration Statement have been made, the
Registration Statement need not remain effective. The Old Notes provide that
under certain circumstances, including if the Exchange Offer has not been
consummated by, nor a shelf registration statement been declared effective by,
November 26, 1996, the respective interest rates on the Old Notes will
increase by 0.50% per annum from and including November 26, 1996 until but
excluding the date the Exchange Offer is consummated or a shelf registration
statement is declared effective.
TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE
The Company hereby offers, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Prospectus and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, to
exchange New Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of Old Notes,
properly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not properly
withdrawn in accordance with the procedures described below. The Company will
issue, promptly after the Expiration Date, the New Notes in exchange for a
like principal amount of outstanding Old Notes tendered and accepted in
connection with the Exchange Offer. Holders may tender their Old Notes in
whole or in part in a principal amount of $1,000 and multiples thereof.
22
<PAGE>
The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum number of Old Notes
being tendered. As of the date of this Prospectus $125,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of the Old Notes is outstanding.
If any tendered Old Notes are not accepted for exchange because of an
invalid tender, the occurrence of certain other events set forth herein or
otherwise, certificates for any such unaccepted Old Notes will be returned,
without expense, to the tendering holder thereof promptly after the Expiration
Date.
Holders who tender Old Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer will not
be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the
instruction in the Letter of Transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the
exchange of Old Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Company will
pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described
below, in connection with the Exchange Offer. See "--Solicitation of Tenders,
Fees and Expenses."
NEITHER THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY NOR THE COMPANY MAKES ANY
RECOMMENDATION TO HOLDERS OF OLD NOTES AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER OR REFRAIN FROM
TENDERING ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THEIR OLD NOTES PURSUANT TO THE EXCHANGE
OFFER. IN ADDITION, NO ONE HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY SUCH
RECOMMENDATION. HOLDERS OF OLD NOTES MUST MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION WHETHER TO
TENDER PURSUANT TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND, IF SO, THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF OLD
NOTES TO TENDER AFTER READING THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
AND CONSULTING WITH THEIR ADVISERS, IF ANY, BASED ON THEIR OWN FINANCIAL
POSITION AND REQUIREMENTS.
EXPIRATION DATE; EXTENSIONS; TERMINATION; AMENDMENTS
The Exchange Offer expires on the Expiration Date. The term "Expiration
Date" means 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 24, 1996, unless the
Company in its sole discretion extends the period during which the Exchange
Offer is open, in which case the term "Expiration Date" means the latest time
and date to which the Exchange Offer is extended. The Company may extend the
Exchange Offer at any time and from time to time by giving oral or written
notice to the Exchange Agent and by timely public announcement. Without
limiting the manner in which the Company may choose to make any public
announcement and subject to applicable law, the Company shall have no
obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public
announcement other than by issuing a release to an appropriate news agency.
During any extension of the Exchange Offer, all Old Notes previously tendered
pursuant to the Exchange Offer will remain subject to the Exchange Offer.
The Company reserves the right (i) to delay accepting any Old Notes, to
extend the Exchange Offer or to terminate the Exchange Offer and not accept
Old Notes not previously accepted for any reason, including if any of the
events set forth herein under "--Conditions to the Exchange Offer" shall have
occurred and shall not have been waived by the Company, or (ii) to amend the
terms of the Exchange Offer in any manner, whether prior to or after the
tender of any of the Old Notes. If any such delay, extension, termination or
amendment occurs, the Company will give oral or written notice to the Exchange
Agent and will either issue a public announcement or give notice to the
holders of the Old Notes as promptly as practicable, such notice in the case
of any extension to be issued by means of a press release or other public
announcement no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business
day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date.
If the Company waives any material condition to the Exchange Offer, or
amends the Exchange Offer in any other material respect, and if at the time
that notice of such waiver or amendment is first published, sent or given to
holders of Old Notes in the manner specified above, the Exchange Offer is
scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the expiration of a period ending
on the fifth business day from, and including, the date that such notice is
first so published, sent or given, then the Exchange Offer will be extended
until the expiration of a period of five business days from the date such
notice is first published, sent or given.
23
<PAGE>
This Prospectus and the related Letter of Transmittal and other relevant
materials will be mailed by the Company to record holders of Old Notes and
will be furnished to brokers, banks and similar persons whose names, or the
names of whose nominees, appear on the lists of holders for subsequent
transmittal to beneficial owners of Old Notes.
PROCEDURES FOR TENDERING
To tender in the Exchange Offer, a holder must complete, sign and date the
Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile thereof (all references in this
Prospectus to the Letter of Transmittal shall be deemed to include a facsimile
thereof), have the signatures thereon guaranteed if required by the Letter of
Transmittal and mail or otherwise deliver such Letter of Transmittal or such
facsimile, together with any other required documents, to the Exchange Agent
prior to the Expiration Date, or in the case of a holder who is a participant
in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility (as defined below), the holder must by
procedures of the Book-Entry Transfer Facility acknowledge receipt of, and
agree to be bound by the terms of, the Letter of Transmittal. In addition,
either (i) certificates for such Old Notes must be received by the Exchange
Agent along with the Letter of Transmittal on or prior to the Expiration Date,
(ii) a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer (a "Book-Entry
Confirmation") of such Old Notes, if such procedure is available, into the
Exchange Agent's account at The Depository Trust Company (the "Book-Entry
Transfer Facility") pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer
described below, must be received by the Exchange Agent on or prior to the
Expiration Date or (iii) the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery
procedures described below. THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES, THE LETTER
OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT THE OPTION AND SOLE RISK
OF THE TENDERING HOLDER. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, THEN REGISTERED MAIL (RETURN
RECEIPT REQUESTED AND PROPERLY INSURED) OR AN OVERNIGHT DELIVERY SERVICE IS
RECOMMENDED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY
DELIVERY. NO LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL OR OLD NOTES SHOULD BE SENT TO THE
COMPANY. To be tendered effectively, the Old Notes, Letter of Transmittal and
all other required documents must be received by the Exchange Agent prior to
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date or, in the case of
participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, a procedure of such facility
acknowledging receipt of, and agreeing to be bound by the terms of, the Letter
of Transmittal must be completed on or before the Expiration Date. Except for
such procedures, delivery of all documents must be made to the Exchange Agent
at its address set forth on the back of this Prospectus. Holders may also
request their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies
or nominees to effect such tender for such holders.
The tender by a holder of Old Notes will constitute an agreement between
such holder and the Company in accordance with the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein and in the Letter of Transmittal. If less than all
of the Old Notes are tendered, a tendering holder should fill in the amount of
Old Notes being tendered in the appropriate box on the Letter of Transmittal.
The entire amount of Old Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed
to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.
Only a holder of Old Notes may tender such Old Notes in the Exchange Offer.
The term "holder" with respect to the Exchange Offer means any person in whose
name Old Notes are registered on the books of the Company or any other person
who has obtained a properly completed bond power from the registered holder.
Any beneficial owner whose Old Notes are registered in the name of a broker,
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to
tender should contact such registered holder promptly and instruct such
registered holder to tender on his behalf. If such beneficial owner wishes to
tender on his own behalf, such beneficial owner must, prior to completing and
executing the Letter of Transmittal and delivering his Old Notes, either make
appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the Old Notes in such
owner's name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered
holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time.
24
<PAGE>
Signatures on a Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case
may be, must be guaranteed by a firm (an "Eligible Institution") that is a
member of a recognized signature guarantee medallion program within the
meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act, unless the Old Notes tendered
pursuant thereto are tendered (i) by a registered holder who has not completed
the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or "Special Delivery
Instructions" on the Letter of Transmittal or (ii) for the account of an
Eligible Institution. In the event that signatures on a Letter of Transmittal
or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed,
such guarantee must be by an Eligible Institution.
If the Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered
holder of any Old Notes listed therein, such Old Notes must be endorsed or
accompanied by bond powers and a proxy which authorizes such person to tender
the Old Notes on behalf of the registered holders, in each case as the name of
the registered holder or holders appears on the Old Notes. If the Letter of
Transmittal or any Old Notes bond powers are signed by trustees, executors,
administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or
others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should so
indicate when signing, and unless waived by the Company, evidence satisfactory
to the Company of their authority to so act must be submitted with the Letter
of Transmittal.
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of
receipt) and withdrawal of the tendered Old Notes will be determined by the
Company in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding.
The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any and all Old Notes not
properly tendered or any Old Notes which, if accepted by the Company, would be
unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to waive any irregularities or
conditions of tender as to particular Old Notes. The Company's interpretation
of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions
in the Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless
waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Old Notes
must be cured within such time as the Company shall determine. None of the
Company, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be under any duty to
give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Old
Notes, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such
notification. Tenders of Old Notes will not be deemed to have been made until
such irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Old Notes received by the
Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or
irregularities have not been timely cured or waived will be returned without
cost to such holder by the Exchange Agent to the tendering holders of Old
Notes, unless otherwise provided in the Letter of Transmittal, as soon as
practicable following the Expiration Date.
In addition, the Company reserves the right in its sole discretion (i) to
purchase or make offers for any Old Notes that remain outstanding subsequent
to the Expiration Date or, as set forth under "--Conditions to the Exchange
Offer," to terminate the Exchange Offer and (ii) to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to purchase Old Notes in the open market, in privately
negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Company has no present plan to
acquire any Old Notes which are not tendered in the Exchange Offer. The terms
of any such purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the Exchange
Offer.
Book Entry Transfer. The Exchange Agent will make a request to establish an
account with respect to the Old Notes at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility for
purposes of the Exchange Offer within two business days after the date of this
Prospectus. Any financial institution that is a participant in the Book-Entry
Transfer Facility's systems may book-entry deliver Old Notes by causing the
Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer such Old Notes into the Exchange
Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility in accordance with such
Book-Entry Transfer Facility's procedures for transfer on or prior to the
Expiration Date. A holder who is a participant of the Book-Entry Transfer
Facility and who by procedures of the facility acknowledges receipt of, and
agrees to be bound by the terms of, the Letter of Transmittal need not
transmit the Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent to consummate the
exchange.
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. If a registered holder of the Old Notes
desires to tender such Old Notes, and the Old Notes are not immediately
available, or time will not permit such holder's Old Notes or other required
documents to reach the Exchange Agent before the Expiration Date, or the
procedure for book-entry
25
<PAGE>
transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, a tender may be effected if
(i) the tender is made through an Eligible Institution, (ii) on or prior to
the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent received from such Eligible
Institution a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or a
facsimile thereof, or, in the case of a participant in the Book-Entry Transfer
Facility, the holder has by a procedure of such facility acknowledged receipt
of, and agreed to be bound by the terms of, the Letter of Transmittal) and
Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by the
Company (by facsimile transmission, mail, hand delivery or, in the case of a
participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, by a procedure of such
facility whereby the participant acknowledges receipt of, and agrees to be
bound by the terms of, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery), setting forth the
name and address of the holder of Old Notes and the amount of Old Notes
tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that
within three New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") trading days after the date of
execution of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, the certificates for all
physically tendered Old Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry
Confirmation, as the case may be, and any other documents required by the
Letter of Transmittal will be deposited by the Eligible Institution with the
Exchange Agent and (iii) the certificates for all physically tendered Old
Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case
may be, and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal are
received by the Exchange Agent within three NYSE trading days after the date
of execution of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
A tender will be deemed to have been received as of the date when the
tendering holder's properly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal
accompanied by the Old Notes is received by the Exchange Agent, or in the case
of a participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, as of the date when the
Book Entry Confirmation has been received by the Exchange Agent and the
participant has, by a procedure of such facility, acknowledged receipt of, and
agreed to be bound by the terms of, the Letter of Transmittal. Issuances of
New Notes in exchange for Old Notes tendered pursuant to a Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery or letter, telegram or facsimile transmission to similar
effect (as provided above) by an Eligible Institution will be made only
against deposit of the Letter of Transmittal (and any other required
documents) and the tendered Old Notes.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
The Letter of Transmittal contains, among other things, the following terms
and conditions, which are part of the Exchange Offer.
The party tendering Old Notes for exchange (the "Transferor") exchanges,
assigns and transfers the Old Notes to the Company and irrevocably constitutes
and appoints the Exchange Agent as the Transferor's agent and attorney-in-fact
to cause the Old Notes to be assigned, transferred and exchanged. The
Transferor represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to
tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Old Notes and to acquire New Notes
issuable upon the exchange of such tendered Old Notes, and that, when the same
are accepted for exchange, the Company will acquire good and unencumbered
title to the tendered Old Notes, free and clear of all liens, restrictions,
charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim. The Transferor
also warrants that it will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional
documents deemed by the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the
exchange, assignment and transfer of tendered Old Notes. The Transferor
further agrees that acceptance of any tendered Old Notes by the Company and
the issuance of New Notes in exchange therefor shall constitute performance in
full by the Company of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement
and that the Company shall have no further obligations or liabilities
thereunder (except in certain limited circumstances). All authority conferred
by the Transferor will survive the death or incapacity of the Transferor and
every obligation of the Transferor shall be binding upon the heirs, legal
representatives, successors, assigns, executors and administrators of such
Transferor.
By tendering Old Notes, the Transferor represents (i) that it is not an
"affiliate" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities
Act, that it is not a broker-dealer that owns Old Notes acquired directly from
the Company, that it is acquiring the New Notes offered hereby in the ordinary
course of such Transferor's business and that such Transferor has no
arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution of such new
Notes or (ii) that it is an "affiliate" (as defined above) of the Company and
that it will comply with the
26
<PAGE>
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the
extent applicable to it. Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its
own account in exchange for the Old Notes that were acquired as a result of
market-making or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will
deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. See
"PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION."
WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS;
Old Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any
time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
For a withdrawal to be effective, a written, telegraphic, telex or facsimile
transmission notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Exchange
Agent at its address set forth on the back of this Prospectus. Any such notice
of withdrawal must specify the name of the person having tendered the Old
Notes to be withdrawn, identify the Old Notes to be withdrawn (including the
principal amount of such Old Notes), and (where certificates for Old Notes
have been transmitted) specify the name in which such Old Notes are registered
if different from that of the withdrawing holder, accompanied by evidence
satisfactory to the Company that the person withdrawing the tender has
succeeded to the beneficial ownership of the Old Notes being withdrawn. If
certificates for Old Notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the
Exchange Agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, the
withdrawing holder must also submit the serial numbers of the particular
certificates to be withdrawn and a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures
guaranteed by an Eligible Institution unless such holder is an Eligible
Institution. If Old Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for
book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the
name and number of the account of the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be
credited with the withdrawn Old Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures
of such facility. If any Old Notes are tendered for exchange but are not
exchanged for any reason, or if any Old Notes are submitted for a greater
principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, such unaccepted or
nonexchanged Old Notes will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to
such holder (or, in the case of Old Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into
the Exchange Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer facility pursuant to
the book-entry transfer procedures described above, such Old Notes will be
credited to an account maintained with such Book-Entry Transfer Facility for
the Old Notes) as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender,
termination of the Exchange Offer or submission of nonexchanged Old Notes.
Withdrawals of tenders of Old Notes may not be rescinded. Old Notes properly
withdrawn will not be deemed validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange
Offer, but may be retendered at any subsequent time on or prior to the
Expiration Date by following any of the procedures described above under "--
Procedures for Tendering."
All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of
receipt) of such withdrawal notices will be determined by the Company, in its
sole discretion, whose determination shall be final and binding on all
parties. Neither the Company, any affiliates or assigns of the Company, the
Exchange Agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give any
notification of any irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any
liability for failure to give any such notification.
INTEREST ON THE NEW NOTES
The New Notes will bear interest at the rate of 11% per annum from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid on the Old Notes or, if no
interest has been paid on the Old Notes, from May 30, 1996. Interest on the
New Notes is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year,
commencing December 1, 1996. Holders of Old Notes whose Old Notes are accepted
for exchange will not receive any payment in respect of accrued and unpaid
interest on such Old Notes.
ACCEPTANCE OF OLD NOTES FOR EXCHANGE; DELIVERY OF NEW NOTES
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the
Company will exchange, and will issue to the Exchange Agent promptly after the
Expiration Date, New Notes for Old Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn.
For the purposes of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall be deemed to have
accepted for exchange validly tendered Old Notes when and if the Company has
given oral or written notice thereof to the
27
<PAGE>
Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent will act as agent for the tendering holders
of Old Notes for the purposes of receiving New Notes from the Company and
causing the Old Notes to be assigned, transferred and exchanged. Upon the
terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, delivery of New
Notes to be issued in exchange for accepted Old Notes will be made by the
Exchange Agent only after timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of certificates
for such Old Notes or a timely Book-Entry Confirmation of such Old Notes into
the Exchange Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, a properly
completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or, by procedures of the
Book-Entry Transfer Facility, a timely acknowledgement of receipt of the
Letter of Transmittal and agreement to be bound by its terms, and all other
required documents.
CONDITIONS TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Exchange Offer, or any extension
of the Exchange Offer, the Company will not be required to accept for
exchange, or to exchange, any Old Notes for New Notes, and, as described
below, may terminate the Exchange Offer (whether or not any Old Notes have
theretofore been accepted for exchange) or may waive any conditions to or
amend the Exchange Offer, if any of the following conditions has occurred or
exists or has not been satisfied: (a) the Exchange Offer, or the making of any
exchange by a holder, violates any applicable law or any applicable
interpretation of the Staff of the Commission; (b) in the reasonable judgment
of the Company, there shall be threatened, instituted or pending any action or
proceeding before, or any injunction, order or decree shall have been issued
by, any court or governmental agency or other governmental regulatory or
administrative agency or commission, (i) seeking to restrain or prohibit the
making or consummation of the Exchange Offer or any other transaction
contemplated by the Exchange Offer, (ii) assessing or seeking any damages as a
result thereof, or (iii) resulting in a material delay in the ability of the
Company to accept for exchange or exchange some or all of the Old Notes
pursuant to the Exchange Offer; (c) any statute, rule, regulation, order or
injunction shall be sought, proposed, introduced, enacted, promulgated or
deemed applicable to the Exchange Offer or any of the transactions
contemplated by the Exchange Offer by any government, governmental authority,
domestic or foreign, or any action shall have been taken, proposed or
threatened, by any government, governmental authority, agency or court,
domestic or foreign, that in the reasonable judgment of the Company might
directly or indirectly result in any of the consequences referred to in
clauses (b)(i), (ii) or (iii) above or, in the reasonable judgment of the
Company, might result in the holders of New Notes having obligations with
respect to resales and transfers of New Notes which are greater than those
described in the interpretations of the Staff referred to in this Prospectus,
or would otherwise make it inadvisable to proceed with the Exchange Offer, (d)
there shall have occurred (i) any general suspension of trading in, or general
limitation on prices for securities on the New York Stock Exchange, (ii) a
declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect
of banks in the United States or any limitation by any governmental agency or
authority that adversely affects the extension of credit to the Company, or
(iii) a commencement of a war, armed hostilities or other similar
international calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States; or,
in the case any of the foregoing exists at the time of commencement of the
Exchange Offer, a material acceleration or worsening thereof; or (e) a
material adverse change shall have occurred or be threatened in the business,
condition (financial or otherwise), operations, or prospects of the Company
and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of the Company and may be
asserted by it with respect to all or any portion of the Exchange Offer
regardless of the circumstances (including any action or inaction by the
Company) giving rise to such condition or may be waived by the Company in
whole or in part at any time or from time to time in their sole discretion.
The failure by the Company at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights
will not be deemed a waiver of any such right, and each right will be deemed
an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time or from time to time. In
addition, the Company has reserved the right, notwithstanding the satisfaction
of each of the foregoing conditions, to amend the Exchange Offer.
Any determination by the Company concerning the fulfillment or non-
fulfillment of any conditions will be final and binding upon all parties.
In addition, the Company will not accept for exchange any Old Notes tendered
and no New Notes will be issued in exchange for any such Old Notes, if at such
time any stop order shall be threatened or in effect with
28
<PAGE>
respect to (i) the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus constitutes
a part or (ii) the qualifications of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939.
EXCHANGE AGENT
The Bank of New York has been appointed as the Exchange Agent for the
Exchange Offer. The Bank of New York also acts as trustee under the Indenture.
Delivery of the Letters of Transmittal and any other required documents,
questions, requests for assistance, and requests for additional copies of this
Prospectus or the Letter of Transmittal, should be directed to the Exchange
Agent at its address and numbers set forth on the back of this Prospectus.
Except for participants in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, who may
acknowledge receipt of and agree to the terms of the Letter of Transmittal
and/or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery by procedures of such facility,
delivery to an address other than as set forth herein, or transmissions of
instructions via a facsimile or telex number other than to the Exchange Agent
as set forth herein, will not constitute a valid delivery.
SOLICITATION OF TENDERS; FEES AND EXPENSES
The Company has not retained any dealer-manager or similar agent in
connection with the Exchange Offer and will not make any payments to brokers,
dealers or others for soliciting acceptances of the Exchange Offer. The
Company will, however, pay the Exchange Agent reasonable fees for its services
and will reimburse it for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection
therewith. The Company will also pay brokerage houses and other custodians,
nominees and fiduciaries the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
them in forwarding copies of the Prospectus and related documents to the
beneficial owners of Old Notes, and in handling tenders for their customers.
The expenses to be incurred in connection with the Exchange Offer, including
the fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent and printing, accounting and legal
fees, will be paid by the Company and are estimated at approximately $75,000.
Holders who tender their Old Notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay
any transfer taxes in connection therewith. If, however, New Notes are to be
delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than a
registered holder of the Old Notes tendered, or if a transfer tax is imposed
for any reason other than the exchange of Old Notes in connection with the
Exchange Offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on
the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering
holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption
therefrom is not submitted with the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such
transfer will be billed directly to such tendering holder.
No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any
representations in connection with the Exchange Offer other than those
contained in this Prospectus. If given or made, such information or
representation should not be relied upon as having been authorized by the
Company. Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor any exchange made
hereunder shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there
has been no change in the affairs of the Company since the respective dates as
of which information is given therein. The Exchange Offer is not being made to
(nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) holders of Old Notes in
any jurisdiction in which the making of the Exchange Offer or the acceptance
thereof would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction.
However, the Company may, at its discretion, take such action as it may deem
necessary to make the Exchange Offer in any such jurisdiction and extend the
Exchange Offer to holders of Old Notes in such jurisdiction. To comply with
the securities laws of certain states of the United States, it may be
necessary to qualify for sale or register thereunder the New Notes prior to
offering or selling such New Notes. The Company has agreed, pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, subject to certain limitations specified
therein, to register or qualify the New Notes for offer or sale under the
securities laws of such states as any holder reasonably requests in writing.
Unless a holder so requests, the Company does not intend to register or
qualify the sale of the New Notes in any such jurisdictions.
APPRAISAL RIGHTS
HOLDERS OF OLD NOTES WILL NOT HAVE DISSENTERS' RIGHTS OR APPRAISAL RIGHTS IN
CONNECTION WITH THE EXCHANGE OFFER.

PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
The following tables set forth unaudited pro forma combined financial data
of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended
June 30, 1996. The statement of operations of Garrett set forth in the table
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 reflect Garrett's results of operations
for the period January 1, 1996 through May 30, 1996, the date on which the
Company acquired Garrett. The financial data for the six months ended June 30,
1996 were derived from the Company's and Garrett's unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements which, in the opinion of management, reflect all
adjustments, (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a
fair presentation of the interim period. The purchase price and the related
financial data may be adjusted in the future to reflect changes that result
from the completion of an audit of the Garrett balance sheet as of the closing
date of the Acquisition and related procedures. See "Business--Terms of
Garrett Acquisition Purchase Agreement." Except as otherwise described below,
the pro forma combined financial data is derived from the historical
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the historical
Consolidated Financial Statements of Garrett included elsewhere in this
Prospectus, adjusted, where applicable, to give pro forma effect to the
Acquisition, the offering of the Old Notes, the issuance of the Preferred
Stock, the UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement and the sale of the Heavy Maintenance
Business. For additional information concerning the UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement
and the sale of the Heavy Maintenance Business, see "Business--Hart-Scott-
Rodino Proceedings" and "--UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement." The pro forma balance
sheet give effect to the Acquisition, the offering of the Old Notes, the
issuance of the Preferred Stock, the UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement and the
divestiture of the Heavy Maintenance Business as if they were consummated on
December 31, 1995, and the pro forma statement of operations give effect to
the Acquisition, the offering of the Old Notes issuance of the Preferred
Stock, the UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement and the divestiture of the Heavy
Maintenance Business as if they were consummated on January 1, 1995. The
adjustments relating to the Acquisition and the related transactions are
described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments are based upon
available information and certain assumptions that management of the Company
believes are reasonable. The pro forma financial data does not purport to
represent what the Company's financial position or results of operations would
actually have been had the Acquisition and such other transactions, in fact,
occurred on such dates, or to project the Company's financial position at any
future date or results of operations for any future period. The pro forma
combined financial data should be read in conjunction with the historical
Consolidated Financial Statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" of the Company and Garrett
included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

(a) The Acquisition, which was consummated on May 30, 1996, will be accounted
for as a purchase pursuant to APB Opinion No. 16 "Business Combinations."
The purchase cost will be allocated to the assets and liabilities of
Garrett based on their fair values. The assets and liabilities of Garrett
are included in the Combined Pro Forma Financial Statements and the
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of June 30, 1996,
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus, at values reflecting preliminary
allocations of the purchase price. The final allocation of the purchase
price is subject to final determination based on the conclusion of an
audit of the closing balance sheet of Garrett and valuations and other
studies currently being performed by the Company. The preliminary
allocation of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net
assets acquired is being amortized over a period of thirty years using the
straight line method.
The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 reflect the effect of the Acquisition, the offering of the Old
Notes, the issuance of the Preferred Stock, and the Company's divestiture of
UNC Airwork's AlliedSignal TFE731 heavy maintenance line. Consequently, no
pro forma adjustments are necessary for the balance sheet data as of June
30, 1996.
(b) In connection with the Acquisition, the Company sold the Heavy Maintenance
Business to Sabreliner at approximately book value. See "Business--Hart-
Scott-Rodino Proceedings." Assuming the sale occurred on January 1, 1995,
the effect on the Company's operations as a result of the divestiture of
the Heavy Maintenance Business would have been:

</TABLE>
(c) The Company has specifically identified cost reductions and other
operating income enhancements resulting from a business integration plan
which the Company is implementing. The business integration plan
contemplates: (i) implementation of an agreement between the Company and
AlliedSignal providing the Company with $15.0 million in annual orders for
the repair of AlliedSignal parts and components during the term of the
agreement, which will include parts and components sent by Garrett to
AlliedSignal for such service; and (ii) eliminating certain management
fees and consulting fees and reducing certain other administrative costs
such as insurance and professional fees previously paid by Garrett. For a
description of the Company's agreement with AlliedSignal, see "Business--
UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement."
The Company's business integration plan provides for the events generating
these reductions to occur in phases, beginning in the initial year. The pro
forma expected cost savings for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six
months ended June 30, 1996 reflect savings and operating efficiencies the
Company expects during the initial year following the consummation of the
Acquisition. The Company expects to realize other benefits during the three
years following the Acquisition. Assuming the Acquisition occurred on
January 1, 1995 and the phase-in of the business integration plan commenced
as of such date, the expected cost reductions, on a pro forma basis, for the
year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996 are as
follows:

consummated on January 1, 1995, offset by the elimination of $1,397 and
$271 of cost applicable to Garrett's amortization of intangible assets for
the year ended December 31, 1995 and the five months ended May 30, 1996,
respectively.
(e) Reflects the additional interest expense of $14,019 and $6,310 (at the
actual rate of 11% on the Old Notes and the New Note), for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and the five months ended May 30, 1996, respectively,
that would have been incurred had the Acquisition, the Offering, the
UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement and the sale of the Heavy Maintenance Business
taken place on January 1, 1995, offset by elimination of interest of
$2,948 and $1,241 of Garrett for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the
five months ended May 30, 1996, respectively, on senior debt that was not
assumed by the Company.
(f) Represents the accrual of estimated income taxes on pro forma earnings at
effective income tax rates of 35% for 1995 and 30% for the 1996 period.
(g) Reflects the cumulative preferred dividends at the rate of 8.5% on the
Preferred Stock.
(h) Reflects the elimination of the cash balance of Garrett, which is an asset
that was not acquired.
(i) Represents a $1,513 note received in connection with the Company's
divestiture of the Heavy Maintenance Business.
(j) These adjustments reflect the preliminary allocation of the purchase price
for Garrett to present the inventory, property, plant and equipment and
intangibles at their estimated fair market value.
(k) Reflects the sale of inventory and equipment, net of related engine
overhaul reserves, to Sabreliner in connection with the Company's
divestiture of the Heavy Maintenance Business.
(l) These adjustments reflect the issuance of $125,000 of Old Notes and an
increase of $4,966 in the Company's Revolving Credit Facility to fund
certain related costs, offset by the elimination of $34,750 of Garrett's
senior debt that was not assumed in the Acquisition. The senior debt of
Garrett includes $10,000 of revolving credit and $24,750 of senior term
loans of which $8,250 is classified as a current liability.
(m) Reflects the issuance of 250,000 shares of $1 par value Preferred Stock as
a part of the Acquisition.
(n) Reflects the elimination of partner's capital which was not assumed in the
Acquisition of Garrett.
(o) In connection with the Acquisition, UNC agreed to sell of up to an
aggregate of 225,000 shares of its Common Stock to certain Garrett
executives the Company employed following closing at a purchase price of
$5.75 per share, the closing price on the date the Purchase Agreement was
executed. These executives were also granted options to purchase up to an
aggregate of 450,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a purchase
price of $6.90 per share. These options are to vest in three equal
installments on each of the first three anniversary dates of Closing. This
adjustment reflects the sale of treasury stock and the granting of these
options.

SELECTED HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
THE COMPANY
The following table sets forth selected historical data of the Company for
each year in the five-year period ended December 31, 1995, which were derived
from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for such
periods. The audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for each
of the periods in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995 are included
elsewhere in this Prospectus. The selected unaudited data presented below for,
and as of the end of, the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were
derived from the Company's unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements which,
in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
period data. The results for any such interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. This table should
be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--The Company" and the audited and
unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included elsewhere
in this Prospectus. The operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996
include the operations of Garrett for the period subsequent to May 30, 1996,
the date of the Acquisition.

(a) See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included
elsewhere in this Offering Circular for a description of acquisitions by
the Company.
(b) Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 1991 included adjustments
aggregating approximately $26.0 million related to the carrying value of
certain inventories, increases in allowances for doubtful accounts
receivable related to services provided for certain commercial airlines in
liquidation or in troubled financial condition, the write-down of goodwill
related to a defense oriented business, and other operating items. Of
these charges $14.0 million is classified as other charges and $7.0
million for the write-down of certain inventories was charged to cost of
sales.
(c) Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 1994 included a
restructuring charge of $58.7 million in connection with a strategic
program to reduce the Company's cost structure and asset base in light of
industry conditions at that time. The charge includes accruals for the
cost of closing the Company's commercial aircraft engine overhaul facility
in Burbank, California, as well as adjustments to the carrying values of
certain assets positioned for sale. The Company also accrued a $14.0
million non-cash charge for withdrawal from a multi-employer pension plan
which had been underfunded by its trustees. In addition, the 1994 results
of operations include a one-time charge of $9.6 million for adjustments
related to the carrying value of certain long-term manufacturing
contracts, and increases in allowance for doubtful accounts. See Note 2 to
the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular.
(d) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in 1991 and
1994 includes the impact of the restructuring and other charges discussed
in Notes (b) and (c) above. EBITDA reflects earnings (loss) from
continuing operations, before extraordinary item, interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA and the ratio of EBITDA to interest
expense do not take into account certain expenses that are reflected in
the calculation of net income in accordance with GAAP, are not intended to
represent any measure of performance in accordance with GAAP, and should
not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash provided by
operating activities, net income or any other consolidated income
statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(e) For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
earnings are defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before
income taxes, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest
expense of continuing and discontinued operations (including amortization
of deferred debt issuance costs and discount) and the portion of operating
lease expense that is representative of the interest factor. For the years
1991 and 1994, earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $26.7
million and $81.8 million, respectively. Fixed charges in 1991 and 1994
were funded through a combination of working capital investing activities
and additional borrowings and did not result in a default in any interest
or rental payments.

GARRETT
The following table sets forth selected historical data of Garrett for each
of the periods indicated in the 36-month period ended December 31, 1995, which
were derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Garrett for
the 12-month period ended December 31, 1995 and the six-month period ended
December 31, 1994 and the audited financial statements of AlliedSignal Engines
Hangar Operations ("the Predecessor Operations") for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1994 and the 12-month period ended December 31, 1993. The
selected unaudited data presented below for, and as of the end of, the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was derived from Garrett's unaudited
Consolidated Financial Statements which, in the opinion of Garrett management,
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period data. The results of
any such interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year. Information presented with respect to Garrett for
the six months ended December 31, 1994 represents information after June 30,
1994, the date on which Garrett was acquired from AlliedSignal. Financial
statements with respect to the Predecessor Operations prior to its divestiture
by AlliedSignal are included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Management of
Garrett believes that those financial statements are not comparable to the
financial statements of Garrett subsequent to its divestiture primarily
because (a) prior to July 1, 1994 the cost of sales for parts used in the
business was recognized on the basis of AlliedSignal's manufacturing cost
while Garrett's cost for AlliedSignal parts consumed in the Garrett business
subsequent to divestiture is based on a negotiated purchase price; (b)
AlliedSignal supplies Garrett with inventory on a consigned basis, which was
not the case prior to divestiture; (c) Garrett was not treated as a stand-
alone business by AlliedSignal and, therefore, certain cost allocations,
principally certain general and administrative costs, were not made based upon
what an independent business would incur; and (d) warranty work was not
reported as revenue but rather as an intercompany transfer of cost. This table
should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Garrett" and the audited and
unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Garrett included elsewhere in
this Offering Circular. Information for Garrett with respect to the period
January 1, 1995 through May 30, 1996 (the date on which the Company acquired
Garrett), and the corresponding period ended May 30, 1995 is not readily
available and the Company does not believe that such information would be
material to an investor's decision to exchange Old Notes for the New Notes.

- -------
(a) Garrett was a limited partnership formed as of June 30, 1994. Under the
Internal Revenue Code, a partnership is not a taxable entity, therefore,
no provision for income taxes has been included in the determination of
net earnings.
(b) EBITDA reflects earnings (loss) from continuing operations, before
extraordinary item, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA
and the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense do not take into account
certain expenses that are reflected in the calculation of net income in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not intended
to represent any measure of performance in accordance with GAAP, and
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash provided
by operating activities, net income or any other consolidated income
statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(c) For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
earnings are defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before
income taxes, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest
expense of continuing and discontinued operations (including amortization
of deferred debt issuance costs and discount) and the portion of operating
lease expense that is representative of the interest factor.
(d) Long-term debt reflects the actual outstanding debt of Garrett as a stand-
alone operation. Only Garrett's capital lease obligation, in the amount of
$5,358 as of December 31, 1995 and $5,396 at March 31,1996, will be
assumed by the Company in connection with the Acquisition.
(e) Prior to the divestiture of the AlliedSignal Engines-Hangar Operations by
AlliedSignal, the Hangar Operations incurred only a nominal amount of
interest expense, $0.2 million in 1993 and $0.1 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1994. Consequently, because of the nominal amount of
interest expense incurred and reasons described in note (a) above, the
ratio of EBITDA to interest expense and earnings to fixed charges are not
comparable to these ratios after the divestiture by AlliedSignal.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
UNC INCORPORATED
The Company's operations are conducted in one business segment which
includes: the overhaul of aircraft engines, industrial gas turbine engines and
aircraft accessories, the manufacture and remanufacture of jet engine and
aircraft components and providing maintenance and training, repair and
logistical contract services.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
Revenues were $322.8 million in the first half of 1996 compared with $257.0
million in the 1995 period, an increase of $65.8 million (26%). Contributing
to this increase were revenues of $30.9 million generated by Garrett, acquired
May 30, 1996, as well as increases in the volume of other engine overhaul
revenues and in Manufacturing Division and Aviation Services Divisions
revenues including a $9.2 million increase in international revenues. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease in Accessory Services revenues.
Operating income in the 1996 period increased $3.0 million (26%) to $14.6
million due to the addition of Garrett and the previously noted increases in
volume.
Concurrent with the acquisition of Garrett, the Company's Engine Overhaul
Division joined with Garrett to form a new division, the "Garrett Aviation
Services Division." Revenues for this newly formed division in the 1996 period
increased $36.8 million (59%) to $98.9 million. The higher revenues are due to
$30.9 million generated by Garrett, acquired May 30, 1996, an increase in
other small turbine engine overhauls for both domestic and international
customers, and an increase in the overhaul and repair of auxiliary power
units. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenues from
the sale of engine parts for small gas turbine engines, principally due to
competitive conditions in the marketplace. Operating income in the first half
of 1996 increased $3.0 million (71%) to $7.3 million, principally due to
increased volume and the addition of Garrett.
The Aviation Services Division revenues of $143.1 million increased $23.6
million (20%) in the 1996 period. The increase in the 1996 period is due to
increased activities on federal services type contracts awarded towards the
end of 1995, increased activities on contract field service contracts and
international services contracts. Operating income increased $1.0 million
(28%) to $4.6 million in the 1996 period due to these increased volumes.
The Company's Manufacturing Division revenues in the 1996 period increased
$12.6 million (26%) to $61.5 million compared with the 1995 period. The
increase in revenues is principally due to higher volume on U.S. government
spares and other commercial programs at the Company's Michigan and Indiana
component manufacturing facilities and, to a lesser extent, higher volume at
other manufacturing facilities, principally due to increased activities on
Boeing and Northrop contracts at the Aerostructures manufacturing facility and
an increase in volume at UNC Artex from specialized repairs of engine
gearboxes and cases for commercial airlines. These increases were partially
offset by the loss of revenues attributable to the Company's chemical milled
aircraft and engine component business, which was sold in June 1995. Operating
income increased $2.4 million (51%) to $7.2 million in the 1996 period
principally due to higher volume.
Revenues of the Accessory Services Division in the 1996 period decreased
$6.6 million (28%) to $17.5 million due to lower volume on domestic and
international business, principally due to lower volume as a result of
increased competition from OEMs. Operations for the 1996 first half resulted
in a loss of $1.2 million compared with income of $2.0 million in the 1995
period. The Company has taken certain actions in the second quarter of 1996,
to reduce costs which should have a favorable impact on future results.
39
<PAGE>
Revenues of $1.8 million and operating income of $0.4 million were generated
from the sale of aircraft parts by the Company's Trading Division in the 1996
period. In the 1995 period revenues and operating income were 2.4 million and
$0.7 million, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first half of 1996 were
$32.2 million or 10.0% of sales compared with $27.5 million or 10.7% of sales
in the 1995 period. The increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses in the 1996 period of $4.8 million is principally due to the
acquisition of Garrett, and an increase in domestic sales and marketing
activities which includes an investment for increased international marketing
efforts by the Company's international offices located in Singapore, The
Netherlands, China and Miami, Florida, serving Latin America. International
revenues increased $9.2 million (18%) to $61.6 million in the 1996 period.
Interest expense increased $0.9 million in the first half of 1996 due to
higher average debt levels principally due to the acquisition of Garrett.
The effective income tax rate as a percent of earnings before income taxes
was 30% and 35% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The decrease in the effective rate for 1996 compared with 1995
is due to the expected realization of certain deferred tax assets not
previously realized.
The Defense Department is continuing to close various military bases. A
portion of the workload of these bases is being relocated to bases where the
Company already performs aircraft maintenance functions. Further consolidation
of military training and maintenance contracts is expected as bases are
eliminated. The Company expects that continued pressures on defense spending
could increase the outsourcing of services currently being provided by
military and other government personnel to lower cost providers such as the
Company. Many of the Company's Aviation Services Division's contracts are
funded by the operations and maintenance ("O&M") budget of the United States
Department of Defense. The O&M budget has remained stable over the last four
years and is projected to remain relatively flat through the end of the
decade, despite a decline in the Department of Defenses' overall budget. The
Company believes that more maintenance work under the O&M budget will be
outsourced in the future to lower cost private sector suppliers, such as the
Company, to meet ongoing Department of Defense budget pressures in other
budget areas, such as new or modernized weapons systems. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Department of Defense will outsource significant
amounts of additional work to entities such as the Company or that federal
budgetary pressures will not adversely affect the Company.
The Company's Manufacturing Division continues to receive pricing pressure
from certain customers, principally OEMs. The Division has provided price
concessions to its principal OEM customers during each of the past four years
in anticipation of continuing to receive future orders and to maintain OEM
business relationships. The industry is currently experiencing an economic
turnaround after several years of depressed conditions due to increased demand
for new aircraft. The Company has recently experienced an increase in new
commercial orders as a result of this increased demand. These additional
orders, along with on-going productivity enhancements and cost reduction
programs instituted by the Company over the past several years has resulted in
increased profitability for the Division. Due to the past uncertainty within
the airline industry continuation of additional orders can not be assured. The
OEM customers continue to apply pricing pressure on all suppliers, and the
Company expects continuing pressures from certain OEM customers on future
pricing.
Year Ended December 31, 1995 Compared With Year Ended December 31, 1994
Revenues were $536.2 million in 1995 compared with $525.8 million in 1994,
an increase of $10.4 million (2%). This increase in revenues was a result of
an increase of $25.7 million (29%) in international sales, offset by a
reduction in revenues due primarily to the closing of an overhaul facility
located in Burbank, California and the sale of two operating divisions in
connection with the Company's restructuring program. Operating income was
$22.4 million in 1995 compared with an operating loss of $61.0 million in
1994. Included in the 1994 results were a restructuring provision of $58.7
million, a one-time charge of $9.6 million for adjustments described
40
<PAGE>
below and a $14.0 million multi-employer pension withdrawal adjustment. See
1994 Compared with 1993 and Note 2 of the Notes to the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular for a
discussion of the Company's restructuring program. Without these adjustments
operating income would have been $21.3 million in 1994.
Revenues for the Engine Overhaul Division in 1995 increased $1.5 million
(1%) to $130.6 million. The higher revenues are due to an increase in small
engine overhauls for international customers and in the overhaul and repair of
industrial turbine engines. These revenue increases were partially offset by
the loss of revenue resulting from the closing of the engine overhaul facility
in Burbank, California, at the end of 1994, as part of the Company's
restructuring program. Operating income in 1995 was $7.6 million compared with
an operating loss of $8.0 million in 1994. Included in the 1994 results was a
$14.0 million non-recurring charge for the withdrawal from a multi-employer
pension plan (See Note 14 of the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular) and a one-time
charge of $1.0 million for an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts
for receivables related to litigation and the bankruptcy of certain customers.
Without these adjustments operating income would have been $7.0 million in
1994 compared with $7.6 million in 1995.
Aviation Services Division revenues of $251.2 million increased $5.1 million
(2%) in 1995. The increase in 1995 is due in part to higher revenues generated
on United States government contracts for pilot training and contract field
teams services, and for activities on an international contract that was
awarded in the latter part of 1994. These increases in revenues were partially
offset by a reduction in aircraft maintenance activities on U.S. government
contracts and the sale of UNC Helicopter in December 1994, as part of the
Company's restructuring strategy. Operating income decreased $1.9 million
(17%) to $9.6 million in 1995 due to a reduction in volume of flying hours and
one-time increases during the previous year.
The Company's Manufacturing Division revenues in 1995 decreased $2.8 million
(3%) to $103.6 million compared with 1994. The decrease in revenues is due to
lower volume at the Company's engine components manufacturing facility in
Indiana and to a reduction in revenues generated by the Company's chemical
milled aircraft and engine components facility in Texas which was sold in June
1995, as part of the Company's restructuring strategy. These decreases were
partially offset by higher volume at the Company's Michigan engine components
manufacturing facility due to increased activities on U.S. government programs
and higher volume at other manufacturing facilities, principally due to new
orders at the aerostructures manufacturing facility in the State of
Washington. Operating income was $10.7 million in 1995 compared with $6.6
million in 1994. The 1994 period included a one-time charge of $3.5 million
for an adjustment to cost estimates on long-term manufacturing contracts. This
charge resulted from a reevaluation of total cost to be incurred under long-
term production contracts with OEM customers, necessitated by a reduced level
of orders and the impact of recent price concessions that were provided to the
OEMs under these contracts. As a result of these events, it was determined
that the increasing overhead rates, resulting in higher overhead charges to
the contracts, in conjunction with higher production costs, resulting from
these lower volumes, required an adjustment to the carrying value of inventory
under the contracts.
Revenues of the Accessory Services Division in 1995 increased $3.9 million
(9%) to $45.6 million principally due to increased volume from international
customers. Operating income decreased $1.3 million in 1995 principally due to
lower volume on domestic business which was replaced with increased
international business at lower margins due to increased competitive actions
by original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). The 1994 period included one-
time charges of approximately $0.2 million for an increase in the allowance
for doubtful accounts.
In December 1994, the Company's Trading Division purchased a used Boeing 767
aircraft for $5.0 million, of which $1.0 million was paid in 1994 and $4.0
million in 1995. The aircraft was disassembled and the parts are being
refurbished or repaired, as required, and are being disposed of in the
aftermarket through sale, lease or the creation of exchange pools or similar
transactions. During 1995 the Division generated revenues of $3.3 million and
operating income of $1.1 million from parts sales. Also, included in 1995
revenues and operating
41
<PAGE>
income is $2.0 million for services provided to the Mohegan Indians in
connection with the sale of property in Connecticut. The 1994 period includes
$2.6 million of revenues and operating income from the leveraged lease of a
McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 aircraft which was sold in December 1994.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in 1995 were $57.0 million or
10.6% of sales compared with $69.8 million or 13.3% of sales in 1994. The
decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in 1995 is due to the
closing of the Burbank engine overhaul facility, the sale of UNC Helicopter in
December 1994, the sale of the Texas chemical milled aircraft and engine
components facility in June 1995, and other cost savings resulting from the
restructuring program initiated in the second quarter of 1994. Also included
in 1994 was a one-time charge of approximately $6.1 million for an increase in
the allowance for doubtful notes and accounts (included in this amount are the
allowance adjustments described above) and the write-off of expenses incurred
in connection with an acquisition that was not consummated. Selling, general
and administrative cost also includes an investment for increased
international marketing efforts by the Company's international offices located
in Singapore, The Netherlands and Miami, Florida, serving Latin America. As a
result, international sales have increased $25.7 million (29%) and $27.9
million (47%) in 1995 and 1994, respectively. See Note 17 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest expense increased $1.0 million (5%) in 1995, principally due to
higher average debt levels.
The income tax provision for 1995 of $1.0 million results from the Company
reporting $3.0 million in earnings before income taxes and extraordinary item.
In 1994, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $13.5 million as a
result of incurring a loss before income taxes and extraordinary item of $81.4
million. See Note 12 of the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular for a reconciliation
of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company's effective tax rate.
The decrease in the deferred tax valuation allowance of $1.3 million in 1995
was due to the realization of current income tax benefits resulting from the
reversal of temporary differences against financial statement income. The
amount of deferred tax valuation allowance is determined based upon
management's evaluation of the net realizability of the future income tax
benefits, considering expiration of net operating losses, predictability of
future income, including the impact of the Company's restructuring program,
and the timing of reversal of temporary differences.
The Defense Department is continuing to close various military bases. A
portion of the workload of these bases is being relocated to bases where the
Company already performs aircraft maintenance functions. Further consolidation
of military training and maintenance contracts is expected as bases are
eliminated and other defense cuts reduce the value of individual contracts.
However, the Company expects that continued pressures on defense spending
could increase the outsourcing of services currently being provided by
military and other government personnel to lower cost providers such as the
Company. Additional opportunities for work from Army, Air Force and Navy
depots may result from the recommendations made by the Congressionally-
mandated Department of Defense Industry Depot Maintenance Task Force on which
the Company is represented. In May 1995, the Company was awarded a major
delivery order under its Contract Field Teams contract to develop the plans,
procedures and processes to implement the U.S. Army's Strategic Mobility
Logistics Program at Charleston, South Carolina. Also in May, the Company was
awarded a one year contract with four one-year options by the U.S. Army's
Communications and Electronics Command at Ft. Monmouth, N.J. with a potential
value of approximately $105 million. In July 1995, the Company was awarded a
$38 million seven year subcontract for maintenance and supply support of the
Air Force's worldwide C-20 Gulfstream VIP aircraft fleet, and in August, the
Company was awarded a one year contract with four one-year options aggregating
approximately $38 million to provide flight simulator instruction at six Air
Education and Training Command bases.
The Company's Manufacturing Division continues to receive pricing pressure
from certain customers, principally OEMs, as these OEMs continue to reduce
significantly the number of suppliers and their own procurement staffs. The
Company remains a part of the reduced OEM supplier base and has obtained new
contracts that may not have been available when the base of suppliers was
larger. The Division has provided
42
<PAGE>
price concessions to its principal OEM customers during each of the past four
years in anticipation of continuing to receive future orders and to maintain
OEM business relationships. As a result of the depressed conditions in the
industry over the past several years, the additional orders have not been
sufficient to offset the declining volume of business. The Company has
instituted on-going productivity enhancements and cost reduction programs, in
an effort to mitigate the effect of these price concessions and reduced
volumes. However, as a result of the impact that these concessions and reduced
volumes have had on the cost structure of the Division, the Company adjusted
the carrying value of certain inventories related to these long-term
manufacturing agreements by $3.5 million in 1994. The OEM customers continue
to apply pricing pressure on all suppliers, and the Company expects continuing
pressures from these OEM customers on future pricing.
Continued effort on the part of the U.S. government to reduce defense
spending is affecting the demand for military aircraft engines and could also
have an impact on the Company's manufacturing operations. This trend is being
offset by the Defense Department bypassing OEMs and placing orders directly
with subcontractors such as the Company. Recently, the Company has been
awarded contracts to produce T56, F10 and F404 High Pressure Turbine Nozzle
Segments valued at $16 million, $9 million and $7 million, respectively. The
Company's manufacturing operations intend to capitalize on the opportunities
in the military market while focusing efforts on building the commercial
market. During the second half of 1993 and the first quarter of 1994, the
Company expanded its commercial contract backlog as well as its customer base
by acquiring the contract backlog of two financially pressured competitors.
The inventory and production related to these contracts were transferred to
existing Company facilities.
Year Ended December 31, 1994 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 1993
The Company took steps in 1994 to reduce its cost structure and asset base
in light of the continuing depressed economic conditions in the aviation
industry. The Company's analysis of industry market conditions indicated that
the soft industry cycle would continue through 1996 and that many of the
Company's markets would see little real growth during this period. As a
result, in the second quarter of 1994 the Company recorded a $58.7 million
provision for restructuring which includes the shutting down of a marginal
operation, an allowance for the sale and disposition of two other businesses,
the consolidation and downsizing of other operations, and the write down of
inventory and underutilized property, plant and equipment that had been
identified for sale to generate additional cash flow. The provision for
restructuring consists of $42.3 million to cover the closing of a facility,
the sale and disposition of two other businesses, the consolidation of two
plants and the downsizing of other facilities. The Company has closed its
engine overhaul facility in Burbank, California and consolidated its engine
overhaul business principally at its facilities in Millville, New Jersey, and
Miami, Florida. The Company positioned for sale and disposition its chemical
milled aircraft and engine components facility in Weatherford, Texas, which
was sold in 1995, and its helicopter overhaul and refurbishment facility in
Ozark, Alabama, which was sold in December 1994. These actions were taken due
to the under utilization of the Weatherford facility caused by the depressed
market conditions being experienced by OEM's in connection with the
construction of new aircraft and a sharp reduction in the number of military
helicopter overhauls that were expected in the foreseeable future at the Ozark
facility. The Company has also consolidated two of its accessory overhaul
plants located in Long Island, New York into one facility. The balance of the
provision of $16.4 million relates principally to the write down to estimated
realizable value of certain inventory and underutilized property, plant and
equipment that has been identified for sale on the open market. When fully
implemented the restructuring program is expected to generate $85.0 million of
cash, net of restructuring expenses.
During the first six months of this restructuring program the Company closed
its engine overhaul operations in Burbank, California and transferred those
operations to its Millville, New Jersey and Miami, Florida facilities and sold
its helicopter overhaul and refurbishment business. In addition, the Company
began liquidating the assets identified for sale under this program and
generated approximately $10 million of cash, net of restructuring expenses.
The Company completed the auction of certain fixed assets at its Pacific
Airmotive subsidiary in January 1995, generating approximately $2.6 million in
cash.
43
<PAGE>
At year end the Company's employee head count was 5,410, down slightly more
than 1,000 employees compared with the beginning of the year, reflecting the
results of improved cost controls and restructuring efforts.
Revenues were $525.8 million in 1994 compared with $438.3 million in 1993,
an increase of $87.5 million (20%) and operating income for 1994 reflects a
loss of $61.0 million compared with income of $23.4 million in 1993. Included
in the 1994 results were the restructuring provision of $58.7 million, a one-
time charge of $9.6 million for adjustments related to the carrying value of
certain long-term manufacturing contracts, increases in allowance for doubtful
accounts as well as other operating items described below, and a $14.0 million
fourth quarter 1994 multi-employer pension withdrawal adjustment. Without
these adjustments operating income would have been $21.3 million in 1994.
Revenues for the Engine Overhaul Division in 1994 decreased $24.9 million
(16%) to $129.1 million. The reduction in revenues is principally due to
decreases in JT8 overhauls, resulting from the Company's decision to withdraw
from the JT8 overhaul business in late 1993. The JT8 reductions were partially
offset by a revenue increase of $3.1 million generated by UNC Metcalf acquired
in the third quarter of 1993.
Operations of the Engine Overhaul Division generated a loss of $8.0 million
in 1994 compared with income of $4.2 million in 1993. Included in the 1994
results is a $14 million non-recurring charge for the withdrawal from a multi-
employer pension plan (see Note 14 of the Notes to the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular) and a one-
time charge of $1.0 million for an increase in the allowance for doubtful
accounts for receivables related to litigation and the bankruptcy of certain
customers. Without these adjustments operating income would have been $7.0
million in 1994.
Aviation Services Division revenues of $246.1 million increased $103.9
million in 1994. The increase in revenues is due principally to revenues
contributed by UNC Lear Siegler acquired in October 1993 and consolidated into
the Aviation Services Division. Operating income increased $5.0 million after
adjusting for a $2.0 million nonrecurring claim against the U.S. government
(for costs incurred prior to 1993) which was recorded in the first quarter of
1993. The increase in operating income is principally due to earnings
contributed from the acquisition of UNC Lear Siegler and resulting savings
from the consolidation of its operations.
The Company's Manufacturing Division revenues for 1994 of $106.4 million
increased $15.6 million (17%) compared with 1993. The increase in 1994
revenues is principally due to revenues generated by UNC Johnson Technology
and UNC Aerostructures, Washington acquired in the third quarter of 1993,
offset by lower volume at the Company's other manufacturing facilities.
Operating income was $6.6 million in 1994 compared with $12.6 million in 1993.
The 1994 period includes a one-time charge of $3.5 million for an adjustment
to cost estimates on long-term manufacturing contracts. This charge resulted
from a reevaluation of total cost to be incurred under these long-term
production contracts with OEM customers, necessitated by a reduced level of
orders and the impact of recent price concessions that were provided the OEMs
under these contracts. As a result of these events, it was determined that the
increasing overhead rates, resulting in higher overhead charges to the
contracts, in conjunction with higher production cost, resulting from these
lower volumes, required an adjustment to the carrying value of inventory under
these contracts. Without this adjustment operating income would have been
$10.1 million in 1994.
Revenues for the Accessory Services Division in 1994 decreased $8.3 million
(17%) to $41.7 million, principally due to increased pricing pressures from
existing competition in the accessory services markets. Operating income was
$1.3 million in 1994 and $6.5 million in 1993. Included in the 1994 results
was a one-time charge of $0.2 million for an increase in the allowance for
doubtful accounts related to the settlement of certain receivables. Without
this adjustment income would have been $1.5 million in 1994. The decrease in
operating income in 1994 is principally due to the reduction in volume.
In December 1994, the Company's Trading Division sold its McDonnell Douglas
DC-10-30 aircraft that was acquired in September 1993 under a leveraged lease.
Revenues and operating income from the leveraged lease in 1994 and 1993 were
$2.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
44
<PAGE>
Selling, general and administrative expenses in 1994 were $69.8 million or
13.3% of sales compared with $54.0 million or 12.3% of sales in 1993. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expense in 1994 is due to
expenses of the companies acquired during 1993 and increased international
marketing efforts. Additionally, included in the 1994 period is a one-time
charge of approximately $6.1 million related to increases in allowances for
doubtful notes and accounts (included in this amount are the allowance
adjustments described above) and the write-off of expenses of $0.7 million
incurred in connection with an acquisition that was not consummated. Without
this one-time charge selling, general and administrative expenses would have
been approximately 12.2% of sales in 1994.
Interest expense increased $4.7 million in 1994 principally due to higher
average debt levels resulting from acquisitions made in 1993, the full year
effect of the Senior Notes issued in July 1993 and higher interest rates.
The income tax benefit for 1994 of $13.5 million was $9.7 million higher
than the $3.8 million benefit for 1993. This increase is due to the
recognition of income tax benefits, net of allowances, on the pre-tax losses
incurred in 1994. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company's
effective tax rate.
The increase in the deferred tax valuation allowance of $13.7 million in
1994 was due to the uncertainty of realizing the tax benefits from net
operating losses and certain tax assets generated by the 1994 restructuring
provision, the provision for the withdrawal from a multi-employer pension plan
and other one-time charges. The amount of deferred tax valuation allowance is
determined based upon management's evaluation of the net realizability of the
future income tax benefits considering expiration of net operating losses,
predictability of future income, including the impact of the Company's
restructuring program, and the timing of reversal of temporary differences.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash flows from operating activities used $5.2 million in the first half
of 1996, which consisted of $9.9 million generated by earnings after adjusting
for non-cash items, offset by an $11.3 million investment in additional
working capital and $3.8 million related to changes in noncurrent assets and
liabilities. Net cash flows from investing activities used $153.7 million, of
which $148.3 million relates to the purchase of Garrett, including related
transaction costs, and $6.9 million for capital expenditures, which was
partially funded by $1.5 million generated from the sale of assets. Net cash
provided by financing activities of $176.0 million includes proceeds from the
issuance of 11% Senior Subordinated Notes and Convertible Preferred Stock used
in the acquisition of Garrett and an increase in revolving credit borrowing,
which was used to pay certain transaction costs related to the Garrett
acquisition, to finance the funds used by operating activities and to fund the
additions to property, plant and equipment net of the proceeds from asset
sales.
Many of the Company's restructuring goals have been achieved since the
program was implemented in June 1994. The Company has generated $48.9 million
from the sale of assets, including $25.0 million from the sale of the
Company's Connecticut property, $12.9 million from the sale of other under
utilized property and equipment, $11.0 million from the sale of other assets,
including its helicopter overhaul and refurbishing business in Ozark, Alabama
and its chemical milled aircraft and engine component business in Weatherford,
Texas. In addition, the Company has closed its JT8 engine overhaul facility in
Burbank, California and consolidated the engine overhaul business at its
facilities in Millville, New Jersey, and Miami, Florida. Two accessory
services facilities in Long Island, New York, have also been consolidated. The
disposal of these assets and consolidation of operations, along with
implementation of productivity enhancements and staff reductions, have
resulted in a reduced cost structure for the Company.
In addition to the cash described above, since June 30, 1994 the Company
generated approximately $8.8 million of proceeds from the collection of
certain disputed receivables and notes that were written down at the time of
the restructuring in connection with efforts made by the Company to accelerate
the collection of these troubled receivables and generate additional cash.
45
<PAGE>
Since the restructuring program was implemented, the Company has incurred
$17.6 million of cash expenditures against its restructuring accrual. These
cash expenditures include employee severance and related costs of $2.5
million, $15.1 million of costs associated with the sale, closing and
consolidations of businesses and operations, including $3.8 million of third-
party costs associated with the shutdowns, consolidations and sales programs.
The Company believes that the remaining restructuring accrual of $2.9 million
should be adequate to complete the program.
Capital expenditures in the first half of 1996 amounted to $6.9 million
compared with $2.7 million in the 1995 period. It is anticipated that capital
expenditures for the full year 1996 will approximate $11 million, excluding
the impact of the acquisition of Garrett Aviation Services. Expenditures for
the balance of 1996 will be financed from internally generated funds, lease
arrangements and, if necessary, revolving credit borrowings. For the year
ended December 31, 1995, expenditures amounted to $6.8 million compared with
$10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Prior to consummating the Acquisition, the Company reevaluated its capital
requirements as a result of several factors, including (i) the improved
operating performance for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 of both the Company
and Garrett and the anticipated growth of the combined business, (ii) an
amendment to the purchase price adjustment provisions of the Purchase
Agreement which resulted in a short-term need to access working capital
following the Acquisition, and (iii) the Company's agreements with
AlliedSignal regarding the timing of payment to AlliedSignal of Garrett's
unpaid invoices. As a result of all of the foregoing factors, on May 22, 1996,
the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility
with First Union Commercial Corporation ("First Union Bank") providing for a
credit line through May 2000 with a borrowing capacity of up to $110 million,
subject to borrowing base limitations as defined in the agreement and reduced
by outstanding letters of credit. See "Description of Certain Indebtedness--
Revolving Credit Facility."
The Company's previous revolving credit agreement provided for a credit line
through May 2000, with a borrowing capacity of up to $90 million, subject to
borrowing base limitations as defined in the agreement and reduced by
outstanding letters of credit. The Company's unused availability under its
Revolving Credit Facility was $37.1 million at June 30, 1996 and $33.0 million
at December 31, 1995. In January 1996, the Company purchased in the open
market $0.6 million of the 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures to
satisfy the remaining balance of the March 1996 sinking fund requirement. The
Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio at June 30, 1996, was 73.5% compared
with 67.2% at December 31, 1995 and 68.4% at December 31, 1994. At June 30,
1996, the Company's working capital was $156.0 million, with a current ratio
of 2.0 to 1 compared with $124.1 million with a current ratio of 2.3 to 1 at
December 31, 1995 and $100.2 million, with a current ratio of 1.7 to 1 at
December 31, 1994.
The Company has approximately $34.6 million of net operating loss
carryforwards at December 31, 1995 that can be applied against future taxable
income. Consequently, the Company does not expect to pay significant federal
income taxes for the next several years.
In October 1995, the Company reached an agreement with Gildea Investment
Company ("Gildea") and other investors to provide up to $25 million of equity
financing on an as needed basis to assist in financing future acquisitions.
The equity investment was to be in the form of the Preferred Stock issued by
the Company. The Company recently issued this Preferred Stock to finance a
portion of the Acquisition. The Preferred Stock was issued at $100 per share
with an annual cumulative dividend rate of 8.5%, with no mandatory redemption,
and is convertible to common stock at a price of $7 per share. The Company has
the option to pay dividends in the form of a pay-in-kind cumulative preferred
stock. See "Capitalization" and "Description of the Preferred Stock."
On May 30, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
certain liabilities of Garrett. The purchase price was approximately $145
million which the Company financed through the issuance of $125 million of the
Old Notes and $25 million of Preferred Stock (see above). In addition,
borrowings of
46
<PAGE>
approximately $5.6 million under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility were
necessary to fund the extent the extent to which the purchase price plus the
transaction costs exceeded the amount of funds generated from the issuance of
the Old Notes and the Preferred Stock.
The Company discontinued its minerals and offshore products and services
operations in 1984, its telecommunications operation in 1988 and its submarine
propulsion unit manufacturing operation and its environmental services
operation in 1990. In connection with these actions, the Company has
approximately $15.7 million accrued to cover the cost of certain long-term
remediation activities, wind-down and final closure of certain long-term U.S.
government contracts, resolution of certain litigation and disposition of
remaining properties. The Company anticipates that these activities will be
completed over the next three years.
Environmental
The Company's operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and
local laws and regulations relating to the environment. The Company believes
that its facilities are operated substantially in compliance with applicable
environmental laws and regulations on an overall basis. However, as described
below, some areas require remedial action.
A subsidiary of the Company, United Nuclear Corporation, has been involved
in environmental reclamation of a former uranium mill and mill tailings
facility since 1988. The reclamation plan has been approved by the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and
reclamation activities are proceeding on schedule. Site reclamation under this
plan is scheduled to be completed by the end of 1997. The cost of this
remediation was $2.1 million in 1995, $2.2 million in 1994 and $1.7 million in
1993. It is anticipated, based on the approved reclamation plan, that the cost
of future remediation through 1997 will be approximately $4.0 million. Such
cost has been accrued as part of reserves established for the discontinued
operation.
The Company sold one of its manufacturing facilities, Chemical Dynamics,
Inc., in June 1995 to the former owner of the subsidiary. Under the terms of
the agreement, the former owner assumed, among other things, all known
environmental risks related to the operations of the business.
During 1993, the State of New Mexico passed the New Mexico Mining Act
("Act"), which imposes certain reclamation and other regulatory obligations on
operators of existing and new mining operations. A number of mines operated by
the Company's subsidiary, United Nuclear Corporation, at various times during
the period 1970 through 1982, may be covered by the Act. However, it is
impossible to determine the extent to which these mines may be covered by the
Act and, if covered, to estimate the cost of remediation or the timing and
extent of remedial action which may be required.
Lockheed-Martin Corporation ("Lockheed") began an action in United States
District Court of the Central District of California under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") in
August 1994. In that action, Lockheed seeks to have owners and operators of
property situated above the San Fernando Valley aquifer contribute to the
costs incurred or to be incurred by Lockheed to clean up contaminated
groundwater constituting the aquifer. A subsidiary of the Company, Pacific
Airmotive Corporation ("PAC"), was made one of the defendants in the action.
The Company and a second subsidiary, Airwork Corporation, were added as
defendants in December 1995. Based on several series of soil tests conducted
on PAC's property and consultants' reports since approximately 1989, the
Company concluded, and continues to conclude, that there is no demonstration
that contaminants of concern identified in the groundwater by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency have been transmitted from the surface of
PAC's property to the underlying groundwater approximately 200 feet below
ground surface. PAC is also pursuing alternative remedies against Purex
Industries, Inc. which owned and operated the property prior to 1985. The
Company and Airwork filed motions to dismiss the action as to them on the
grounds, among others, that they did not own or operate PAC's property, or
control PAC's operation. These motions to dismiss the Lockheed action filed by
the Company and Airwork were denied. Whether, as alleged by Lockheed, the
Company and Airwork owned or operated
47
<PAGE>
PAC's property, or controlled its operations, and whether the Company is
subject to jurisdiction in California, remain issues for trial in the Lockheed
case. Trial of the case is to begin in early August 1996. The Company is not
able to determine whether it or a subsidiary of the Company will be held
liable as a result of the Lockheed action, or to establish a range of loss.
Based on the Company's assessment of the matters described above, the
Company believes that these and other environmental matters will not have a
material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity. For further details with respect to environmental
matters, see Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular.
Impact of Inflation
The Company believes that inflation did not have a material effect on the
results of operations or financial condition in the periods presented.
New Accounting Standards
During 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123--"Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." This statement becomes effective in 1996 and encourages, rather
than requires, companies to recognize compensation expense based on the
estimated fair value of employee stock options and other equity instruments
issued to employees at the date the instruments are granted. Companies that
choose to continue to follow the measurement guidance in APB Opinion No. 25--
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees will be required to disclose pro
forma net income and earnings per share as if the accounting method in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 had been applied. The
Company will continue to follow the measurement guidance in APB Opinion No. 25
when accounting for stock issued to Company employees.
Also issued in 1995 was Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121--"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of." This statement becomes effective in 1996 and
requires that assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the
asset in question may not be recoverable. Companies will have to estimate
future cash flows expected from using the asset and its eventual disposition.
If this amount is less than the carrying amount of the asset, there is an
impairment loss. The impairment loss is measured by the difference between the
asset's fair value and its carrying amount. Assets to be disposed of, with
certain exceptions, would be reported as the lower of cost or fair value less
the cost to sell the asset. The Company currently follows the provisions of
this Standard.

GARRETT AVIATION SERVICES
The following is a discussion and analysis of the historical financial
condition and results of operations of Garrett, provided by the management of
Garrett. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements of Garrett included elsewhere in the Offering Circular.
Financial statements with respect to the operations of the Garrett business
prior to its divestiture by AlliedSignal are included elsewhere in this
Prospectus. Management of Garrett believes that those financial statements are
not comparable to the financial statements of Garrett subsequent to its
divestiture on June 30, 1994 primarily because (a) prior to July 1, 1994 the
cost of sales for parts used in the business was recognized on the basis of
AlliedSignal's manufacturing cost while Garrett's cost for AlliedSignal parts
used in the Garrett business subsequent to divestiture is based on a
negotiated purchase price; (b) AlliedSignal supplies Garrett with inventory on
a consigned basis, which was not the case prior to divestiture; (c) Garrett
was not treated as a stand-alone business by AlliedSignal and, therefore,
certain cost allocations, principally certain general and administrative
costs, were not made based upon what an independent business would incur; and
(d) warranty work was not reported as revenue but rather as an intercompany
transfer of cost. In order to provide comparative trend data subsequent to
July 1, 1994, the following is a discussion and analysis of the three month
periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 together with the three six month
periods, including a comparison of the six month period ended June 30, 1995
with the six month period ended December 31, 1994, and a comparison of the six
month period ended December 31, 1995 with the six month period ended December
31, 1994. Information for Garrett with respect to the period January 1, 1995
through May 30, 1995 is not readily available and the Company does not believe
that such information would be material to an investor's decision to exchange
Old Notes for the New Notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The Garrett business was acquired from AlliedSignal on June 30, 1994. The
following provides a comparison of the results of operations of Garrett for
the three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 and for each of the six
months ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1995, with
the six months ended December 31, 1994. In connection with the expansion of
its non-engine services, on October 26, 1994 Garrett purchased certain assets
and assumed liabilities relating to an airframe maintenance, modification and
refurbishment business located in Van Nuys, California, known as "The Jet
Center." The results of operations of The Jet Center have been included in the
Garrett financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Subsequent to the acquisition of Garrett from AlliedSignal, Garrett
management implemented several changes, including an expansion of the work
force, to more adequately meet the customers' service needs. The number of
employees increased from approximately 700 at July 1, 1994 to approximately
1,100 by December 31, 1995. Garrett has also emphasized a more decentralized
approach to managing its six primary operating locations. Finally, Garrett has
increased its marketing efforts, focusing on full-service capabilities, with
an emphasis on non-engine services, including air frame maintenance and
modification. Such services were not emphasized when the business was owned by
AlliedSignal. These changes began to be reflected in the first half of 1995,
and had a more significant impact during the second half of 1995 and the first
quarter of 1996.
Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31,
1995
Revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 of $87.7 million
for Garrett increased from $75.8 million (16%) compared to the corresponding
period of 1995. Gross profit increased during the same period from $8.9
million to $12.5 million, an increase of $3.6 million (40%). Gross profit for
the current quarter includes $1.0 million in income related to a change in
estimated cost on certain contracts.
Revenues from engine overhaul and repair operations, including parts and
services, increased in the 1996 period by $5.4 million (10%) over the first
three months of 1995 to $58.2 million. These increases are principally
attributable to increased volume of overhaul and repair services for the TFE
731 turbofan engines. Engine overhaul and repair volume is subject to
variations from period to period driven principally by engine hours flown
which determines the timing of scheduled and unscheduled engine maintenance
events. Gross profit decreased by $0.2 million (3%) over the corresponding
1995 period, to $6.0 million.
Non-engine revenues increased $6.5 million (28%) to $29.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to the corresponding period for
1995. The increase is due principally to a major refurbishment at The Jet
Center and increased volume in other non-engine related sales. Gross profit
increased $3.8 million (141%) compared to the corresponding period of 1995, to
$6.5 million. The improvement in non-engine revenues and margins reflects the
results of Garrett's continued emphasis on non-engine services marketing
efforts, along with certain cost efficiencies.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million (20%) to
$7.5 million during the first three months of 1996 over the first three months
of 1995. This increase is primarily due to increased personnel and systems
related costs.
Net interest expense increased $22,000 to $846,000 (3%) due to increased
borrowings under the revolving loans, offset somewhat by lower interest rates.
Six Months Ended December 31, 1995 Compared with Six Months Ended December
31, 1994
Revenues for Garrett increased from $144.2 million in the second half of
1994 to $184.0 million in the second half of 1995, an increase of $39.8
million (28%). Gross profit increased during the same period from
50
<PAGE>
$14.0 million to $25.3 million, an increase of $11.3 million (81%). Revenues
and gross margins were above those for the corresponding period in 1994 at all
six of Garrett's primary operating locations.
Revenues from engine overhaul and repair operations, including parts and
services, increased in the 1995 period by $29.1 million (30%) over the second
half of 1994 to $126.4 million. Gross profit increased by $4.3 million (42%)
over the corresponding 1994 period to $14.8 million. These increases are
principally attributable to increased volume of overhaul and repair services
for the TFE 731 turbofan engines. Engine overhaul and repair volume is subject
to variations from period to period driven principally by engine hours flown
which determines the timing of scheduled and unscheduled engine maintenance
events.
Non-engine revenues increased $10.7 million (23%) to $57.6 million for the
six months ended December 31, 1995, compared to the corresponding period for
1994. This increase is due principally to a $9.4 million increase in revenues
from The Jet Center, which was acquired in October 1994, and to increased
volume at those hangers performing non-engine services. Gross profit increased
$7.0 million (198%) to $10.5 million over the last six months of 1994. The
improvement in non-engine revenues and margins reflects the results of
Garrett's increased emphasis on non-engine services marketing efforts, started
in late 1994 and early 1995, along with certain labor and cost efficiencies.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.3 million (53%) to
$15.3 million in the last six months of 1995 over the last six months of 1994.
This increase is due to additional costs associated with The Jet Center, which
was acquired in October 1994, and increased personnel, professional services
and marketing costs.
Net interest expense decreased from $1.8 million in the 1994 period to $1.7
million in the 1995 period, primarily reflecting lower average interest rates.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared with Six Months Ended December 31,
1994
Revenues for Garrett for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were $154.1
million, compared to $144.2 million for the six months ended December 31,
1994, an increase of $9.9 million (7%). Gross profit for the first half of
1995 was $18.4 million, compared to $14.0 million for the second half of 1994,
an increase of $4.4 million (32%).
Revenue from engine overhaul and repairs, including parts and service,
increased $11.7 million (12%) to $109.0 million in the first half of 1995.
Gross profit for engine overhaul and repairs operations increased $2.4 million
(23%) to $12.8 million. These improvements are due to increased volume in
overhaul and repair of TFE 731 turbofan and TPE 331 turboprop engines and a
higher level of spare parts sales for both engines. Engine overhaul and repair
volume is subject to variations from period to period driven principally by
engine hours flown which determines the timing of scheduled and unscheduled
engine maintenance events.
Revenues from non-engine operations, which include airframe maintenance,
avionics, repair and retrofits, and interior and exterior modification and
refurbishments, decreased $1.8 million (4%) to $45.1 million. This decrease in
revenue is attributable to an increase of $5.5 million in revenues generated
by The Jet Center, which was acquired in October 1994, offset by lower
revenues of the other Garrett service centers due to the timing of the
delivery of major airframe maintenance and modification contracts. Revenues
from the airframe maintenance and modification business are subject to
quarterly, and to a lesser extent, annual fluctuations due to the timing of
delivery of completed aircraft under these long-term contracts. In the 1994
period, Garrett delivered several major aircraft modifications, while none
were delivered during the 1995 period. Gross profit increased $2.1 million
(59%) to $5.6 million over the 1994 period due to the acquisition of The Jet
Center and improved labor efficiencies and cost reductions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.0 million (30%)
during the first six months of 1995 compared to the last six months of 1994.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the 1995
period is due to additional costs associated with The Jet Center, which was
acquired in October 1994, and increased personnel, professional services and
marketing costs.
51
<PAGE>
Interest expense declined between the periods, reflecting primarily lower
average interest rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total debt was essentially unchanged between the two years, decreasing from
$40.2 million at December 31, 1994 to $40.1 million at December 31, 1995. Debt
to capitalization improved from 75.3% to 67.8% as a result of increased
earnings during 1995.
Total debt at March 31, 1996 was $50.4 million, an increase of $10.3 million
compared with December 31, 1995. Of this amount $3.6 million was used to fund
net operating activities (comprising $5.8 million generated from operations
adjusted for non-cash charges, offset by $9.4 million used to fund working
capital requirements), $0.8 million was used for capital expenditures, $1.5
million was distributed to Garrett's partners and the remainder was used to
increase Garrett's cash balance. Debt to capitalization at March 31, 1996 was
70.3% compared to 67.8% at December 31, 1995.
Garrett generated $14.7 million of cash from operations during 1995, of
which $5.8 million was invested in capital expenditures and $6.2 million was
distributed to partners. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $11.2 million
at the end of 1995, a portion of which is to be distributed to Garrett
partners to cover partners' income tax obligations.
Capital expenditures of $5.8 million in 1995 included the significant
investment in a new company-wide computer system which was put into operation
in October, 1995. Although it is uncertain at this time how the acquisition of
Garrett by the Company will affect future capital expenditures, on a stand
alone basis, Garrett anticipates capital expenditures for 1996 would be
approximately $8.0 million.
Environmental
Garrett's operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to the environment. Several of Garrett's
facilities have potential liability resulting from past disposal of waste at
commercial disposal sites that are subject to remedial obligations under state
or federal law. Garrett's facilities also have incurred and are expected to
continue to incur environmental remedial obligations associated with past use
underground storage tanks, sumps and drains.
In the Acquisition Purchase Agreement the Garrett sellers agreed to
indemnify the Company for breaches of representations and warranties and other
matters subject to important limitations, including a $3 million aggregate
limitation on the sellers' indemnification obligations thereunder. In
connection with the purchase of the Garrett engine overhaul division from
AlliedSignal in 1994, Garrett entered into a purchase agreement with
AlliedSignal which contained representations and warranties and indemnities
from AlliedSignal (the "AlliedSignal Purchase Agreement"), including
indemnification for certain environmental matters relating to the conduct of
the business prior to the sale of the business by AlliedSignal to Garrett.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Acquisition
the Company will be assigned and succeed to all of Garrett's rights and
obligations under the AlliedSignal Purchase Agreement, including the right to
seek indemnification for breaches of the representations and warranties made
by AlliedSignal relating to the conduct of the business prior to its
acquisition by Garrett and related environmental matters.
Garrett believes that its facilities are operated substantially in
compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations on an overall
basis. Garrett management believes that these and other environmental matters
will not have a material adverse impact on Garrett's financial condition,
results of operation or liquidity. See "Business--Terms of Garrett Acquisition
Purchase Agreement."

BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
The Company is a leading supplier of products and services to the aviation
industry. The Company's primary business is the provision of services to the
aviation aftermarket, which accounts for approximately 90% of its revenues.
These operations include the overhaul and repair of aircraft engines and
accessories, the repair and remanufacturing of engine components, and the
provision of training and maintenance services to the United States and
foreign military. Approximately 10% of the Company's revenues in 1995 were
derived from manufacturing engine and airframe parts for OEMs.
Prior to the Company's acquisition of Garrett, the Company had over 8,000
customers including: business aircraft operators; major, national, regional,
foreign, charter and package/cargo airlines; engine and airframe OEMs;
helicopter operators; and the United States and foreign military. The Company
operated 16 facilities and performed services at approximately 80 government
sites. The Company had approximately 5,700 employees. The Acquisition has
expanded the Company's range of services, significantly increased the
aggregate customer base, and added six primary operating locations and
approximately 1,100 employees. The Acquisition will also enhance the Company's
focus on its business aviation aftermarket operations. As a result of the
Acquisition, the Company believes it is the largest independent aviation
services company in the world, with service capabilities for almost all
business aircraft and engines, combined with the broad range of repair,
overhaul and remanufacturing capabilities for the business, commercial and
military aviation market the Company enjoyed prior to the Acquisition.
THE GARRETT ACQUISITION
On May 30, 1996, the Company acquired Garrett, a leading provider of
aviation services to the $3.4 billion worldwide business aviation aftermarket.
Garrett provides a wide range of overhaul services to approximately 2,000
business aviation and regional airline customers, including complete engine
and airframe repair and overhaul capabilities, full interior and exterior
refurbishments, new aircraft completions, avionics installation and spare
parts distribution. Garrett provides its aircraft and engine maintenance and
support through six "fly-in" service centers across the United States. For the
year ended December 31, 1995, Garrett recorded approximately $338.1 million in
total revenues and approximately $21.7 million of EBITDA. The Company believes
that Garrett enjoys a 50-year reputation for quality and market leadership in
its industry segment.
Garrett provides aircraft, engine and avionics aftermarket services to a
wide range of aircraft and specializes in aircraft powered by AlliedSignal
turbofan engines, which are the leading engine type for the business jet
aviation market. Based on industry data, AlliedSignal engines represent
approximately 38% of the turbofan engines in the worldwide market. The leading
engine type is the TFE731 turbofan, used to power a variety of business jet
aircraft, including aircraft under the Lear, Falcon, Astra, Citation, Hawker,
Westwind and Jetstar tradenames. Garrett management estimates that it services
approximately 70% of the TFE731 powered aircraft in North America. Garrett
also services AlliedSignal turboprop engines used on business aircraft and
certain regional airlines. AlliedSignal turboprop engines represent
approximately 31% of the global turboprop market.
Garrett benefits from a 15 year services agreement with AlliedSignal (the
"AlliedSignal Operating Agreement"), which appoints Garrett as the "Exclusive
Factory-Sponsored Service and Support Center" for certain AlliedSignal engines
in specified markets. The current AlliedSignal Operating Agreement, which
extends through June 30, 2009, was assigned to the Company as part of the
Acquisition. The AlliedSignal Operating Agreement, among other things: (a)
specifies the terms on which Garrett purchases engine parts from AlliedSignal;
(b) commits Garrett to purchase its engine parts requirements from
AlliedSignal or certain approved vendors; (c) commits Garrett to provide
aftermarket support to AlliedSignal products in the market place; and (d)
defines the working relationship between the two companies in a number of
areas, including technical training, quality systems and other support,
exchange of customer and marketing information, and future programs.
53
<PAGE>
A major advantage to Garrett under the AlliedSignal Operating Agreement is
that AlliedSignal provides Garrett with its required engine parts inventory on
a consignment basis. Garrett's customers are also able to access AlliedSignal
engines from the AlliedSignal engine rental pool during the period of engine
overhauls. The consignment inventory and the engine pool availability have
allowed Garrett to reduce significantly the level of its inventory and fixed
asset investment relative to what otherwise would be required. As a result of
the agreement, AlliedSignal is the single largest billing customer of Garrett,
due to warranty and other prepaid maintenance programs, representing
approximately 37% of Garrett revenues. AlliedSignal is also the largest single
vendor of Garrett, due to the purchase of parts both for engine repair and
overhaul, and for the redistribution of spare parts.
The Acquisition furthers several of the Company's strategic objectives,
including the expansion of its business aviation operations. The table below
reflects the composition of the Company's customers on a pro forma basis for
the year ending December 31, 1995, as if the Acquisition, the UNC/AlliedSignal
Agreement and the sale of the Heavy Maintenance Business had been completed on
January 1, 1995. On a pro forma basis, over 50% of the Company's revenues
would have been attributable to the business aviation market in 1995, an
increase from approximately 22% of the Company's revenues on a historical
basis.

BUSINESS STRATEGY
The primary element of the Company's long term strategy has been to
establish and maintain a leading position in the aviation aftermarket, with a
particular focus on the business aviation and military services markets. The
Company believes that these markets have generally exhibited a more stable
revenue base than other portions of the aviation industry. Approximately 51%
of the Company's revenues would have been derived from the business aviation
market in 1995 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Acquisition,
the UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement and the sale of the Heavy Maintenance Business.
As part of its overall aftermarket strategy, the Company will continue to
develop and implement advanced technology repair services for its customers.
The Company has pursued this strategy by investing in the expansion of its
repair and overhaul capabilities and by undertaking strategic acquisitions.
This added repair capability allows the Company to reduce its customers' costs
by using enhanced repair services in lieu of higher cost new parts and by
reducing repair times. In this way, the Company believes that it increases
value for its customers and strengthens its competitive position.
The Company intends to continue the expansion of its customer base with an
emphasis on international markets. The Company has established a sales
organization through three sales offices located in Amsterdam, Singapore and
Miami, which serves Latin America. Since the Company began its organized
overseas marketing
54
<PAGE>
effort, the portion of the Company's net sales attributable to international
customers has increased from 10% in 1992 to 21% in 1995. The Company believes
that the international market for its services will continue to offer
significant growth potential.
BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
Garrett's business strategy since becoming independent in mid-1994 has
focused on expanding its engine overhaul capability beyond AlliedSignal
engines, broadening its parts repair and accessory overhaul services and
expanding its airframe and avionics operations. The Company believes that the
Acquisition is particularly attractive because the strategies of both
companies are complementary, and believes that the joining of the companies
accelerates the fulfillment of these strategies. The complementary nature of
the businesses and strategies of the Company and Garrett create a range of
anticipated benefits from the Acquisition, including the following:
. Parts and Accessory Repairs. As a result the Acquisition, the Company is
able to perform certain repair and overhaul services for Garrett which
Garrett was unable to provide prior to the Acquisition. Prior to the
Acquisition Garrett outsourced approximately $77 million per year of
these repairs and other services to third parties, including
AlliedSignal. While Garrett will continue to direct the repair of
AlliedSignal parts and components to AlliedSignal following the closing
of the Acquisition, the Company has recently entered into an agreement
with AlliedSignal under which AlliedSignal will provide the Company with
$15.0 million in annual orders for the repair of AlliedSignal parts and
components in support of Garrett and other AlliedSignal customers during
the term of the agreement. The Company also expects to be able to
provide Garrett customers with repairs and overhauls for accessory
components and systems for all types of business aircraft. This will
include items such as landing gears, constant speed drives, radar
components, generators, transponders, hydraulic system components and
anti-skid brake system components. The Company believes that the
provision of these additional repair and overhaul services will lead to
improved profitability on a consolidated basis. See "Pro Forma Combined
Financial Data" and --"UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement."
. Expansion of Airframe and Avionics Services. The Company intends to
expand upon Garrett's airframe and avionics maintenance business by
using UNC Airwork's established customer base to offer Garrett's
airframe and avionics services to operators of aircraft using a broader
range of engine types. To facilitate this expansion, one of the
Company's existing hangar facilities located at UNC Airwork may be
converted for use in providing airframe and avionics services for
Airwork customers. The Company believes that the airframe and avionics
sectors are growing faster than the overall business aviation market due
to the large number of aging aircraft, government and manufacturer
mandated airframe service on older aircraft and recent advances in
avionics technology.
. Expansion of Customer Base. The Acquisition will permit the Company and
Garrett to expand their base of customers. The Company will be able to
direct to Garrett a number of its customers who require Garrett's
capabilities while Garrett will direct to the Company customers who
require services on engine types for which Garrett has no overhaul
capability. For example, Garrett's customers will be able to utilize the
Company's overhaul services on non-AlliedSignal engines.
. Military Services. In 1995, the Company generated approximately $277.0
million in military related revenues, including approximately $24.0
million from the manufacture of military spare parts. Following the
Acquisition, the Company plans to expand its operations in this area by
offering Garrett's nationwide full service aviation aftermarket
capabilities to the Company's military and other governmental customers.
For example, the Company is currently bidding on a $100 million contract
to maintain a fleet of aircraft for the U.S. Air Force which requires
the contractor to have depot-level maintenance facilities throughout the
United States. Garrett's six service centers will provide the Company
with this capability.
. Increased Global Presence. Presently, approximately 95% of Garrett's
revenues are derived from customers in North America. The Company
believes that there is a market for Garrett's services
55
<PAGE>
overseas and intends to market these services to foreign customers
through the Company's growing network of international sales offices.
. Utilization of Used Serviceable Parts. The Company successfully utilizes
used serviceable parts in its operations, a practice increasingly
requested by customers in order to minimize maintenance costs. The
Company intends to expand its use of used serviceable parts in Garrett's
business.
. Turboprop Expansion. Garrett has approximately a 10% share of the TPE331
turboprop engine overhaul market, servicing both business and regional
airline customers. There are approximately 16,000 TPE331 engines
operating today. The Company believes that it has extensive marketing
capabilities in the regional airline market which are currently used to
promote UNC Airwork's engine overhaul operation. The Company plans to
expand the TPE331 engine overhaul business through Garrett and UNC's
combined marketing efforts and the Company's existing regional airline
market presence.
INDUSTRY FACTORS
The Company generally serves the aviation aftermarket, with a particular
emphasis on the business aviation aftermarket. The demand for services in the
aviation aftermarket is influenced primarily by the utilization levels of
aircraft in service, as measured by the number of annual hours flown. As
discussed below, utilization in both the business and commercial airline
sectors is increasing. In the military market, the demand also reflects
primarily the levels of hours flown, as well as the percentage of work that
the military outsources to private companies such as the Company. The Company
also provides products and services to the prime aerospace manufacturers. The
manufacturing sector is influenced by the number of aircraft produced for both
the commercial and military markets. Current projections of future aircraft
deliveries that impact the Company's revenues are for increased deliveries.
Business Aviation Aftermarket
According to data provided by First Equity Development, the worldwide
turbine-powered business aviation aftermarket is approximately $3.4 billion in
size, excluding the cost of fuel. First Equity Development, an aviation
industry investment banking firm, represented Garrett in connection with the
Acquisition and received a customary fee when the Acquisition was consummated.
The portions of the worldwide turbine powered business aircraft market which
are the focus of the Company and of Garrett include primarily engine
maintenance, airframe maintenance, avionics maintenance and aircraft interior
modification and refurbishment. Data supplied by First Equity Development
indicates that engine maintenance, predominantly the repair and overhaul of
turbine engines, represents in excess of $1.25 billion of the business
aviation aftermarket. Engine maintenance is especially important from a
strategic standpoint, because it is a primary determinant in the selection of
a service center by an aircraft operator. If the service center is providing
the engine maintenance, it is in an optimum position to offer other services
as well, including airframe maintenance, avionics maintenance or replacement,
and aircraft interior modifications and refurbishment.
The Company anticipates that the business aviation industry will grow over
the next several years, due to the following principal factors: (a) an
increase in the size of the world fleet of aircraft; (b) increased utilization
of the world fleet; and (c) increased maintenance requirements relating to the
average age of the fleet.
Increasing Fleet Size. There were approximately 16,500 turbine powered
aircraft (turbofan and turboprop powered) in service in the world market at
the end of 1995, according to industry sources. The size of the fleet has
grown by approximately 3,000 aircraft since 1985, representing an increase of
21%. Over the next decade, the fleet is projected, based on information from
industry sources, to grow by over 4,500 additional aircraft, to a fleet size
of over 20,000 aircraft, based on committed and projected orders.
56
<PAGE>
Approximately half of the worldwide fleet is powered by turbofan engines,
which account for a disproportionately higher percentage of maintenance and
overhaul expenditures. According to data supplied to the Company by First
Equity Development, the turbofan engine market is led by AlliedSignal engines,
with approximately a 38% worldwide market share. This is followed by Pratt &
Whitney, General Electric and Rolls Royce. The Company provides engine
overhaul services for over 40 different engine types and for all of the major
engine manufacturers. Garrett management estimates that it currently services
approximately 70% of the North American market for TFE731 turbofan engines,
which is the leading AlliedSignal turbofan engine.
In addition to the growth in fixed wing aircraft, there has been equally
steady growth in turbine powered helicopters. The current worldwide fleet is
estimated at over 14,000 aircraft and the worldwide fleet is projected to grow
by over 2,000 units during the next five years, based on information provided
by industry sources, UNC Airwork provides engine overhaul services for several
of the leading helicopter turbine engines, including the Allison 250 engine
and the Pratt & Whitney PT6T Twin Pac.
One of the contributing factors to the recent and anticipated growth of the
world business aircraft fleet is the significant increase in the popularity of
fractional ownership plans, in which small to medium sized companies can
access corporate jets through participation in nationwide jet networks with
one of several network providers. The growth in these and similar programs
substantially broadens the market of corporate aircraft customers. The
expansion of fractional plans also increases the average utilization of those
aircraft, which has a positive impact on the overall levels of maintenance and
other aftermarket expenditures.
Increasing Utilization of the World Fleet. The Federal Aviation
Administration (the "FAA") projects that hours flown by domestic turboprop and
turbojet fixed wing aircraft will increase from approximately 2.3 million
hours in 1995 to approximately 3.0 million hours in 2005, an increase of 30%
for that ten year period. These estimates are based on FAA survey reports.
This trend is based primarily on improved global economic factors, including
the expansion of long-haul international business jets being utilized and the
expansion of fractional ownership plans. The FAA estimates that the number of
corporate international flights increased over the last year, including
flights to the Pacific Rim. Gulfstream and Bombardier, the two principal
manufacturers of long range business jets, also report significant increases
in the backlog of long-haul business jets on order.
Increased Maintenance Requirements of Aging Fleet. A third factor in the
growth of this market is the increased maintenance requirements of existing
aircraft, based on the increasing age of the existing fleet. FAA and OEM
mandated maintenance requirements for engines, other aircraft components
(e.g., landing gear, power units, hydraulic systems) and the airframe itself
require an increase in the level of maintenance as an aircraft ages,
particularly after 15 years of usage. Based on a significant increase in new
aircraft deliveries between 1977 and 1982, there is an increase being
experienced currently in business aviation maintenance expenditures for these
older aircraft. Additionally, the current increase in new aircraft deliveries
is creating an expanding market for the refurbishment of used aircraft, prior
to resale. Utilizing upgraded engines and performing other refurbishments can
extend substantially the economic life of an airframe, at relatively low costs
compared to the purchase price of a new aircraft. As a result, the average age
of the fleet is increasing.
An additional factor in this area relates to the recent advances which have
been made in avionics technology. In addition to normal maintenance
expenditures for an aging aircraft, many corporate aircraft owners prefer to
have state-of-the-art avionics systems. An increasing level of Garrett's
revenues relates to the installation of partial or total replacement systems.
An individual system may range from $500,000 to as much as $1,500,000.
Military Aviation Aftermarket
The market for the Company's Aviation Services division depends primarily on
the level of funding for the O&M portion of the United States Defense
Department annual budget, as well as the percentage of O&M requirements which
are outsourced to the private sector. Although the overall Defense Department
budget has been declining over the past decade, on an inflation adjusted
basis, the O&M portion of the budget has remained
57
<PAGE>
and is forecasted to remain stable. O&M expenditures have increased as a
percentage of the total defense budget from approximately 29% in 1985 to
approximately 37% for the 1996 budget. In addition, the percentage of the O&M
budget being outsourced is increasing, resulting in a net expected increase in
the market for the Company's military aviation services.
The Secretary of Defense formed a congressionally-mandated task force in
1994, consisting of senior government and industry leaders, to examine
alternatives to improve cost efficiency, including the area of depot
maintenance services. The task force and a successor task force recommended
further expansion of private sector outsourcing, based on its lower relative
cost. As an example, one entire facility previously operated by the Air Force
is currently being privatized under a new privatization-in-place program. The
Company is in discussions with all branches of the military regarding similar
projects for other facilities.
Commercial Aviation
The industry conditions in the commercial airline market affect both the
demand for the Company's accessory services, based primarily on the levels of
commercial fleet utilization, and for the Company's OEM manufacturing, based
primarily on the level of new aircraft on order.
The commercial airline market experienced a substantial downturn from 1991
to 1993, incurring record losses during that period. This had a negative
impact on the levels and timing of new aircraft being ordered. The United
States domestic airlines began to restore their profitability in 1994 and
reached significantly improved levels of profitability in 1995. These
earnings, as well as cash generated from debt and equity placements, have
improved balance sheets throughout the industry, which has led to a
significant increase in orders for new aircraft.
Worldwide demand for air service is projected to grow in all commercial
aviation sectors, according to industry reports. According to the Current
Market Outlook published by the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group in 1995,
worldwide air traffic will grow at a compounded rate of 5.1% through the year
2014. According to the "Airline Monitor," a leading industry trade
publication, this increased demand will cause annual deliveries of new larger
commercial airliners to increase from 500 in 1995 to 900 in 2010, as well as
causing growth in the fleet of regional aircraft.
The Company believes that projected growth in revenue passenger miles and
the increase in new aircraft deliveries should both have a favorable impact on
the performance of the Company's accessory services operation, as well as its
OEM manufacturing operations. Additionally, the Company's major OEM customers
are experiencing increases in orders, particularly for engines and engine
parts reflecting improvement in the industry.
Other airline markets have grown more rapidly than the major airlines,
including a number of the low-fare airlines, certain regional airlines and the
major package and cargo airlines. The Company provides services for a number
of these companies, most of which have limited internal maintenance
capabilities.
PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND CUSTOMERS
The following summarizes the current operations of the Company and of
Garrett immediately prior to the consummation of the Acquisition and the
organization of the business subsequent to the date of the Acquisition.
Newly-Formed Aircraft and Engine Services Division. Prior to the Acquisition
the Company's Engine Overhaul Division comprised three operations, UNC
Airwork, UNC Engine & Engine Parts and UNC Metcalf. Together these three
operations performed turbine engine overhaul and maintenance, provided parts
provisioning for business and helicopter operators and regional airlines, and
provided industrial power packages for land based industrial and marine use.
Immediately following the Acquisition, UNC Airwork, UNC Engine & Engine Parts
58
<PAGE>
and UNC Metcalf joined with Garrett to form a new division, the "Garrett
Aviation Services Division." This combination of the operations is designed to
accelerate the implementation of the projected acquisition benefits and to
enhance customer service. The Company's Engine Overhaul Division recorded
revenues of $130.6 million in 1995. On a pro forma basis assuming consummation
of the Acquisition, the UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement and the sale of the Heavy
Maintenance Business, revenues for the newly-formed Aircraft and Engine
Services Division would have been approximately $459.7 million in 1995.
The new division is headed by L. David Clemons, who was President and CEO of
Garrett prior to the Acquisition. Mr. Clemons has had over 20 years of
experience in the aviation aftermarket, principally working with AlliedSignal.
All of the senior operating management of Garrett have continued with the
Company following the Acquisition.
UNC Airwork is a leading independent provider of turbine engine overhaul
services. It overhauls and repairs over 40 different engine models (including
engines manufactured by AlliedSignal, Pratt & Whitney, General Electric and
Rolls Royce) for a wide range of corporate and commercial customers. UNC
Airwork provides engine overhaul services at two main facilities in Millville,
New Jersey and Miami, Florida, as well as five satellite turbine repair
locations in Atlanta, Georgia; Wichita, Kansas; Dayton, Ohio; Milton, Florida;
and Van Nuys, California. In 1994, the APU repair capabilities of UNC
Accessory Services were transferred to UNC Airwork's operations in Millville.
Also in 1994, the small engine overhaul operations conducted at Pacific
Airmotive in Burbank, California were consolidated into UNC Airwork's
facilities in Millville and Miami. This consolidation places all major engine
overhaul capabilities in two strategic locations, making for a more cost
effective use of each unit's capabilities.
UNC Engine and Engine Parts provides parts and accessory support for small
gas turbine engines, as well as industrial packages. Specializing in the
support of the PT6 engine manufactured by Pratt & Whitney, this unit has also
expanded capabilities to meet the needs of PT6T Twin Pac, JT15D, Allison 250
and APU operators. UNC Engine and Engine Parts maintains an inventory of PT6
spare engines and APU's and also has one of the largest PT6 inventories of
parts and accessories in the industry.
Acquired in 1993, UNC Metcalf specializes in the overhaul and repair of
industrial turbine engines, particularly the Solar Centaur and Saturn models.
Metcalf provides a broad range of support services including operations
including engineering, installation, maintenance, parts repair and rebuild.
Additionally, Metcalf has developed certain proprietary repair processes which
provide customers with a low cost alternative to parts replacement. Metcalf
also provides complete "turnkey" service including on site contract
maintenance and operations.
Garrett operates six combined hangars and overhaul facilities, each offering
fly-in access, at strategic business aviation airports across the U.S.: Los
Angeles and Van Nuys, California; Houston, Texas; Augusta, Georgia;
Springfield, Illinois; and Long Island, New York. Garrett also operates an
engine repair and overhaul facility in Little Rock, Arkansas. Garrett provides
a full range of overhaul services to over 2,000 business aviation customers,
including complete engine and airframe repair and overhaul capabilities, full
interior and exterior refurbishments, new aircraft completions, avionics
installation and spare parts distribution. Garrett currently specializes in
providing these services to aircraft powered by AlliedSignal turbofan and
turboprop engines and APU's. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company is
able to offer a full range of services to business aircraft powered by a wide
range of engine types from all of the leading engine manufacturers.
Accessory Services. UNC Accessory Services provides a wide range of repair
and overhaul services for the commercial airline industry as well as for the
original equipment manufacturers. This Division was formed in 1994 in order to
combine all repair services serving the same customer base under one
management, providing a streamlined approach to the customer's needs.
59
<PAGE>
Accessory Services consists of four certified FAA repair station facilities
providing accessory overhaul, repair and test services to aircraft operators,
including business aircraft operators, major airlines, international airlines,
national airlines, regional airlines and package and freight carriers.
Services are also provided to independent aircraft engine overhaul facilities
and aftermarket distributors. Accessory Services supports over fifty
categories of aircraft accessories, covering more than thirty thousand line
items. The items serviced include landing gear, constant speed drives, radar
components, generators, transponders, pneumatic valves, cooling turbines,
flight control actuators, propellers, fuel system components, hydraulic system
components, and anti-skid brake system components. New capabilities for
regional turbo-prop aircraft and newer generation turbine aircraft continue to
be added. The Accessory Services division was founded in 1951 and acquired by
the Company in 1989. Accessory Services is an authorized service center for
leading original equipment manufacturers, including AlliedSignal Aerospace
Products, APPH, Chandler Evans and HR Textron. The Company believes it is the
largest independent supplier of aircraft accessory support. The Company's
Accessory Services Division had revenues of $45.6 million in 1995.
Aviation Services. UNC Aviation Services Division is a leader in the
provision of aircraft maintenance, overhaul, logistics support, systems
integration and aviation training services to the United States miliary, as
well as to domestic and foreign government agencies. The Division has more
than 35 years of experience in this field. The Division has three operating
units, UNC Federal Services, UNC Contract Field Services and UNC International
Services. Work is performed at military and customer sites throughout the
United States and overseas. Contracts are a combination of fixed price, time
and cost of materials, and cost plus incentive award fees with options for
multiple years. Since 1992, the Division has grown from $89.1 million in 1992
annual revenues to $251.2 million in 1995 through successful awards of
competitive contracts and through acquisitions. The Company plans a similar
pattern for future growth. This business is managed centrally at the Company's
Annapolis, Maryland headquarters with operational program offices in
Pensacola, Florida and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
UNC Federal Services is a leader in aircraft maintenance, contract logistics
support, systems integration and aircrew training for the United States
military. The market for these military contract services results from the
Department of Defense contracting with the private sector to obtain services
for less than they would cost if they were performed by government personnel.
Awards of these contracts are generally based on a best value criteria
established by the government. As a result, successfully competing for the
award of these contracts requires high technical ratings, a low price and
demonstrated past performance.
UNC Contract Field Services has for more than 35 years provided depot level
and below depot level maintenance, repair, modification and logistical
services for virtually every Department of Defense weapon. Through the
Contract Field Teams (CFT) program, the Company serves the United States Army,
Navy, Air Force, NASA and Coast Guard. Recently, the Field Teams began new
efforts at the United States Army Corpus Christi Aviation Depot, the Anniston
Army Depot, the Red River Army Depot, the Alameda Naval Aviation Depot and the
Coast Guard Aviation Repair and Support Depot. In addition, Field Teams have
initiated the planning, scheduling and implementation of the military's
Strategic Mobility Logistics Base program to support the global pre-positioned
ships effort.
UNC International Services provided maintenance program management and
logistical services to customers worldwide. The Company is the largest United
States service contractor to the Royal Saudi Air Force providing F-5 jet
fighter technical and logistical support, C-130 cargo aircraft logistical
support and other services. In addition, the Company provides electronic
repair and support functions to the Royal Saudi Naval Forces.
The Company has broad-based experience in aviation supply support, including
maintaining and managing in-house supply departments using networks of vendors
and major military supply systems for requisition, receipt, storage, issue,
overhaul and repair of parts and materials.
60
<PAGE>
Manufacturing. The Company's Manufacturing Division supplies turbine engine
and airframe component parts for the prime engine and aircraft original
equipment manufacturers and the military. Manufacturing provides advanced
capabilities from design to production that result in high technology, precise
tolerance and advanced alloy parts. This Division consists of UNC Johnson
Technology, UNC Tri-Manufacturing, UNC Tri-Remanufacturing, UNC Artex and UNC
Aerostructures. Manufacturing revenues for 1995 were approximately $103.6
million.
Johnson Technology, founded in 1963 and acquired by the Company in July
1993, provides high technology turbine nozzles and vane manufacturing and
repair, and specialized non-conventional machining of super alloys such as
electro-chemical deep hole drilling, laser drilling, and electrical-discharge
machining. Customers include Pratt & Whitney, the United States Department of
Defense, and General Electric. Johnson Technology enjoyed significant growth
in 1995, due to several government and OEM contracts. Johnson's backlog at
December 31, 1995 was $46.1 million.
Tri-Manufacturing, founded in 1955 and acquired by the Company in 1988, is a
leading manufacturer of precision complex fabrications, aircraft parts and
assemblies for turbine engines for commercial and military aviation
applications. Primary customers include General Electric, Pratt & Whitney and
the Department of Defense.
Tri-Remanufacturing, which was started by the Company in 1991, reconditions
engine components to serviceable condition. The remanufacturing business is
supported by customer driven development of parts repairs, to lower repair and
overhaul costs. Tri-Remanufacturing's customers are the commercial airlines
who perform their own engine overhauls, independent and OEM engine overhaul
shops and the military. These customers generally lack the expertise, the
ability to develop approved repairs, and the volume of work on each different
part to justify in-house performance of this work.
Artex, founded in 1957 and whose assets were acquired by the Company in
April 1993, expands the Company's repair and remanufacturing capabilities
through highly specialized repairs of components including engine gearboxes
and cases, as well as aircraft component housings and other engine and
aircraft parts and accessories. Artex's primary customers are the major
commercial airlines.
Aerostructures, founded in 1965 and acquired by the Company in 1993, is an
experienced manufacturer of structural components and sheet metal sub-
assemblies for major aircraft manufacturers and enjoys the status of a first-
tier supplier to Boeing. The entity provides a wide manufacturing capability
serving substantially all major airframe and aerospace companies, leading
industrial subcontractors and the U.S. Military. Customers include, Boeing,
Northrop, Vought, Bell Helicopter, Lockheed and Grumman.
Trading. During 1993, the Company established a Trading Division for the
purpose of expanding its business in the airframe and engine parts market and
generating revenues from other aircraft and engine related transactions. In
addition, the Company is consolidating its engine and accessory marketing
within this Division located in Miami, Florida. In 1993, the Division acquired
a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 aircraft under a leverage lease which it
subsequently sold in 1994. Also, the Division acquired a Boeing 767 aircraft
in 1994 which it has disassembled and is refurbishing or repairing, as
required, and disposing of in the aftermarket through sale, lease or the
creation of exchange pools or similar transactions.
MARKETING
The Company markets its products and services through approximately 97 sales
and marketing employees and approximately 66 agents in foreign markets.
Marketing is organized by operating unit and region. Each operating unit has a
marketing director responsible for coordinating the marketing activity of that
unit. Joint marketing efforts of products and services of different units are
coordinated by the Company's corporate marketing department, headquartered in
Annapolis. The Company conducts its international marketing efforts through
U.S. and foreign based personnel and sales managers located in Singapore,
Amsterdam and Miami.
61
<PAGE>
Garrett employs an additional professional sales force of 15 regional sales
managers, distributed geographically across the U.S. and Mexico. In addition,
Garrett employs a regional sales manager for Europe, based in Paris, and has
representative agreements with parties in Argentina, Venezuela, China and The
Middle East. Garrett's regional sales force is compensated with a base salary
and an incentive component based on company results.
In conjunction with AlliedSignal, Garrett supports and utilizes
AlliedSignal's proprietary data market forecast system which tracks
maintenance event activity by individual customer and aircraft, and provides
early visibility into future maintenance requirements. Garrett also has the
benefit of Allied Signal customer service representatives located at each of
the facilities to provide factory support to the customers, and AlliedSignal's
retrofit sales force, which markets the retrofit of Dassault's Falcon 20
aircraft with AlliedSignal engines, in which Garrett is the subcontractor to
AlliedSignal for engine installation.
Garrett is the largest outside provider to AlliedSignal under Allied's
Maintenance Service Plan ("MSP"), a program providing engine owners long-term
maintenance, funded by fixed payments per flight hour. This program levels the
maintenance cost of an engine over the engine's life. At present,
approximately 54% of all TFE731 engines are covered by the program. Garrett
provides MSP service directly to AlliedSignal, which is responsible for
administering the program, but the customer is able to access the convenience
of Garrett's nationwide service centers. Garrett's revenues under the MSP
program were approximately $101 million in 1995.
COMPETITION
The businesses and markets in which the Company operates are highly
competitive.
UNC Aircraft and Engine Services. The Company's engine overhaul operations
currently compete primarily with, and largely at the discretion of, the
aircraft OEMs including AlliedSignal, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney and
Rolls-Royce. These operations also face significant competition from a large
number of other domestic and foreign entities such as Dallas Airmotive,
Standard Aero, National Airmotive, BizJet, KC Aviation (an aviation services
subsidiary of Kimberly-Clark), Bombardier, Duncan Aviation and others. The
Company's overhaul operations also compete with sales of used engines.
UNC Accessory Services. The Company's Accessory operations compete with a
large number of smaller service facilities and with certain OEM's that provide
aftermarket services for their products. Quality and reliability of service,
prompt turn-around time, price and customer service are major competitive
factors in the engine overhaul and component services businesses.
UNC Aviation Services. In providing contract aviation services to the

(1) The Aircraft and Engine Services Division was formed in conjunction with
the Acquisition, to combine UNC Airwork and certain other Company
operators with Garrett. See "--Products, Services and Customers." This
division also leases satellite facilities in five states aggregating
approximately 10,000 square feet.
TERMS OF GARRETT ACQUISITION PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid Garrett
approximately $144.6 million in cash at the closing and assumed certain of the
obligations, liabilities and commitments of Garrett arising out of the Garrett
business with respect to the operation of the Garrett business prior to May
30, 1996, the date on which the closing of the Acquisition occurred.
Obligations and liabilities in respect of borrowed money and current portions
of long-term bank financing and liabilities relating to or arising from the
Acquisition were not assumed by the Company. Pursuant to the originally
executed Purchase Agreement, the cash portion of the purchase price was to be
adjusted following closing based on the net asset value of the assets and
liabilities the Company acquires and assumes on the closing date, determined
based upon post-closing audit procedures. If such net asset value was less
than $47.075 million, the purchase price would have been decreased to the
extent of the difference between such amounts. If such net asset value was
greater than $47.575 million, the purchase price would have been increased to
the extent of the difference between such amounts. The Company and Garrett
subsequently entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement providing
that the Garrett sellers would prepare an estimate prior to closing of the net
asset value of the assets and liabilities of Garrett to be acquired by the
Company. If such estimated net asset value exceeded $47.575 million, then at
the closing, the Garrett sellers would retain accounts receivable in an
aggregate face amount equal to such excess. The Garrett sellers retained
approximately $29.1 million in accounts receivable at closing. The final net
asset value of the Garrett assets and liabilities acquired by the Company will
continue to be determined pursuant to a post-closing audit, following which
any necessary adjustment to the cash portion of the purchase price paid by the
Company will be made in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement
described above. The Purchase Agreement provides for the Garrett sellers to
deliver an audited balance sheet of the Garrett business as of the closing
date (and a related statement of the net asset value of the Garrett assets and
liabilities acquired by the Company on that date) by July 30, 1996. The
parties have subsequently agreed that the Garrett sellers shall have until
September 30, 1996 to complete the audit and deliver such information. The
agreement also contains provisions for the resolution of any disputes arising
from the audit.
In the Purchase Agreement the Garrett sellers agreed to indemnify the
Company for breaches of representations and warranties and other matters
subject to important limitations, including a $3 million aggregate limitation
on the sellers' indemnification obligations thereunder. In connection with the
purchase of the Garrett engine overhaul division from AlliedSignal in 1994,
Garrett entered into a purchase agreement with AlliedSignal which contained
representations and warranties and indemnities from AlliedSignal (the
"AlliedSignal Purchase Agreement"), including indemnification for certain
environmental matters relating to the conduct of the business prior to the
sale of the business by AlliedSignal to Garrett. Under the terms of the
Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Acquisition the Company was assigned
and succeeded to all of Garrett's rights and obligations under the
AlliedSignal Purchase Agreement, including the right to seek indemnification
for breaches of the representations and warranties made by AlliedSignal
relating to the conduct of the business prior to its acquisition by Garrett
and related environmental matters.

HART-SCOTT-RODINO PROCEEDINGS
UNC Airwork, a subsidiary of the Company ("Airwork"), performs overhaul and
repair services on several aircraft engines, including the AlliedSignal TFE731
engine. Prior to the time the Acquisition was consummated, Airwork was
authorized by AlliedSignal to perform, among other things, compressor zone
inspections and related repair services ("Heavy Maintenance") on the
AlliedSignal TFE731 engine. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Heavy
Maintenance Business had revenues of approximately $10.0 million. Garrett is
also authorized to perform these services and the terms of the AlliedSignal
Operating Agreement prohibit AlliedSignal from authorizing additional heavy
maintenance service centers without Garrett's prior consent during the term of
the AlliedSignal Operating Agreement.
In connection with its review of the Acquisition under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1977, the United States Department of Justice
(the "Justice Department") raised certain issues concerning the Heavy
Maintenance aspects of the Garrett and Airwork businesses. Following
discussions with the Justice Department, the Justice Department agreed that it
would not object to completion of the Acquisition if the Company and Garrett
proceeded on the basis of the arrangements discussed below.
The Company, Garrett and AlliedSignal agreed that Airwork would transfer
Airwork's Heavy Maintenance Business and the related authorization from
AlliedSignal to Sabreliner, an existing provider of aircraft engine overhaul
and repair services. This transaction was consummated immediately prior to the
Acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of an asset purchase agreement, the Company
sold to Sabreliner certain assets for their approximate book value (including
tooling, inventory and test equipment which had a book value at December 31,
1995 of approximately $2.0 million). Airwork used these assets in connection
with the conduct of the Heavy Maintenance Business. Under the terms of the
Sabreliner asset purchase agreement, Airwork will perform certain Heavy
Maintenance services on behalf of Sabreliner for a transition period following
the closing. Airwork will be required to pay AlliedSignal a royalty in
connection with the performance of certain of these services after a ten month
transition period. Following the sale of the Heavy Maintenance Business,
Garrett will continue to perform heavy maintenance services. The Company does
not believe that the divestiture of the Heavy Maintenance Business to
Sabreliner will have a material effect on the financial condition, liquidity
or results of operations of the Company.
UNC/ALLIEDSIGNAL AGREEMENT
As noted above, Airwork transferred its existing AlliedSignal authorization
to conduct the Heavy Maintenance Business to Sabreliner immediately prior to
the Acquisition. This authorization was replaced by a new AlliedSignal repair
agreement (the "UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement"). Under the terms of the
UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement, the Company is authorized to perform repairs on
certain AlliedSignal parts and components. Under the terms of this agreement,
AlliedSignal will submit purchase orders to the Company totalling $15.0
million annually in parts and component repairs through December 31, 1997.
This $15.0 million annual commitment will be pro rated for any partial year
during the term of the UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement. The Company has agreed to
perform these repairs for AlliedSignal at a price which is 6% below that
offered to AlliedSignal by other authorized vendors.
Under the terms of the UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement, the Company is granted
the right for a limited period of time to perform AlliedSignal TFE731 parts
and component repair services directly for Sabreliner so that Airwork can meet
its obligations to provide Sabreliner with the transition repair services
discussed above. The Company is also authorized to continue to perform
AlliedSignal TFE731 parts and component repairs for certain specified
customers other than AlliedSignal and Sabreliner through December 31, 1997.
Airwork must pay AlliedSignal a royalty equal to 20% of the price Airwork
charges such customers, net of the costs of any parts or components used in
connection with such repairs which are purchased directly from AlliedSignal,
taxes and shipping costs.
Other than the $15.0 million in annual repairs which AlliedSignal is
required to purchase from the Company, repairs the Company may perform for
Sabreliner during the transition period and repairs the Company is authorized
to perform for the specified customers discussed above, Airwork will not be
authorized by
65
<PAGE>
AlliedSignal to perform repairs on any AlliedSignal TFE731 or TPE331 parts and
components during the term of the UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement.
The UNC/AlliedSignal Agreement expires on December 31, 1997. The agreement
provides that the parties will hold good faith business discussions concerning
all elements of the relationship among the Company, Garrett and AlliedSignal.
While the Company has no reason to believe that these discussions will not
proceed favorably, there can be no assurance that the UNC/AlliedSignal
Agreement will be extended beyond December 31, 1997 or that it will be
extended on terms as favorable to the Company as those presently in effect.
However, the Operating Agreement between Garrett and AlliedSignal is to remain
in effect through June 30, 2009.
AlliedSignal, Garrett and the Company have also agreed that AlliedSignal
shall be entitled to appoint one heavy maintenance service center in addition
to the center being conveyed to Sabreliner by Airwork and to make successor
appointments in respect of such additional center.
The Company paid AlliedSignal $1.5 million in consideration of being a party
to the arrangements discussed above.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
The Company is a party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as
of May 22, 1996 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), among the Company, the
financial institutions who are parties thereto as lenders and First Union
Commercial Corporation ("First Union") as agent for the lenders and First
Union National Bank of North Carolina as the issuing bank for letters of
credit issued thereunder. The Revolving Credit Facility provides the Company
with up to a $110 million revolving line of credit. Amounts available to be
borrowed are based on a specified percentage of the value of the accounts
receivable and inventory of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Revolving
Credit Facility includes the availability of up to $20 million of letters of
credit and amounts available to be borrowed are reduced by the stated amount
of letters of credit outstanding and unreimbursed drawings thereon.
The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Revolving Credit
Facility. The summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the provisions of the Revolving Credit Facility. A
copy of the Revolving Credit Facility is available upon request to the Company
(see "Available Information").
Maturity. Unless extended with the consent of each of the lenders, the
Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to terminate on May 31, 2000.
Borrowing Base. The amount of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility
(aggregated with the stated amount of outstanding letters of credit) is
limited to the lesser of (i) $110 million and (ii) the amount of the borrowing
base. The borrowing base at any time is calculated as the sum of (a) 85% of
the amount of accounts receivable owed to the Company and its subsidiaries by
U.S. obligors that are not an agency or department of the U.S. government, (b)
certain varying percentages of the amount of accounts receivable owed to the
Company and its subsidiaries by U.S. government agencies or departments,
foreign obligors and of certain amounts that are billable, but not yet billed,
by the Company and its subsidiaries and (c) 80% of the orderly liquidation
value of inventory of the Company and its subsidiaries (excluding certain
work-in-process), plus 50%
69
<PAGE>
of the orderly liquidation value of certain work-in-process arising from the
engine overhaul operations, provided that advances against work-in-process
shall not exceed $5 million and provided that all advances against inventory
shall not exceed $36 million, and the aggregate amount of inventory value
included in the borrowing base shall never constitute more than 40% of the
total borrowing base. The accounts receivable and inventory of Garrett were
included in the borrowing base upon the completion by First Union of its
examination and appraisal of the assets on July 31, 1996. The amount available
to the Company for borrowing is reduced from each June 30 to the following
March 30 by various amounts, the greatest of which does not exceed the
Company's $4.2 million annual mandatory redemption payment with respect to its
7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2006 plus six months' interest
on those debentures. The Revolving Credit Facility provides that the advance
rate percentages with respect to the various categories of accounts receivable
and inventory may be revised from time to time by the lenders in their
discretion, exercised in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.
Fees. The lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility are entitled to
commitment fees at a rate of 0.5% per annum on the unused commitments. The
commitment fee is subject to reduction if the Company achieves certain
designated levels of total indebtedness for money borrowed ("Total Debt") to
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Operating
Cash Flow"). The commitment fee will not be less than 0.25% per annum.
Interest. Borrowings will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the
election of the Company, either (i) the higher of the federal funds rate plus
1/2% or the agent's prime rate, in each case plus an applicable margin, or
(ii) an adjusted eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable
margin with respect to all borrowings is determined by reference to the ratio
of the Company's Total Debt to Operating Cash Flow. The applicable margin for
base rate borrowings will not be greater than 1.5% nor less than 0% per annum.
The applicable margin with respect to Eurodollar borrowings will not be
greater than 2.75% nor less than 1.25% per annum. The applicable margin for
base rate borrowings is currently 1.5% per annum and for Eurodollar borrowings
is currently 2.75% per annum.
Guarantees. The obligations of the Company under the Revolving Credit
Facility are, subject to certain limitations, guaranteed by each of the
Company's domestic wholly-owned operating subsidiaries.
Collateral. The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries, whether as
borrower or guarantor, in general, are secured by a pledge of their respective
accounts receivable, inventory and other tangible and intangible assets. In
addition, the obligations of the Company are secured by a pledge to the
lenders of secured promissory notes of the Company's subsidiaries evidencing
advances made by the Company to subsidiaries of proceeds of the Revolving
Credit Facility.
Financial Covenants. The following is a summary of the principal financial
covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility. Performance of the
financial covenants is measured by the performance of the Company and the
subsidiary guarantors on a consolidated basis.
The Company will not permit:
1. Tangible net worth at the end of any fiscal quarter to be less than the
following amounts during the following periods:

9 1/8% NOTES
The Company currently has outstanding $100 million in principal amount of
its Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the
Company and mature on July 15, 2003. The Senior Notes rank senior in right of
payment to the Notes and rank pari passu with the Company's outstanding
indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Senior Notes are
guaranteed by the Guarantors on a basis senior to the Guarantees of the Notes
and on a pari passu basis with the guarantees of the Revolving Credit
Facility. The Senior Notes will be redeemable at the Company's option, at any
time on or after July 15, 1998, at declining redemption premiums.
The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture among the Company, the
Guarantors and Chemical Bank as Trustee dated July 15, 1993 and as amended to
date.
The terms and conditions of the Senior Notes, including covenants relating
to (a) limitations on indebtedness, (b) limitations on restricted payments,
(c) limitations on dividends and other payment restrictions affecting Company
subsidiaries, (d) limitations on preferred stock of subsidiaries,
(e) limitations on liens, (f) limitations on transactions with affiliates, (g)
limitations on asset sales and (h) limitations on lines of business, are
substantially similar to the terms, conditions and covenants of the Notes
(other than provisions relating to the redemption of the Notes and the
subordination of the Notes and the guarantees of the Notes). See "Description
of the Notes."
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has designated and authorized 250,000 shares of each of a Series
B Senior Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred
Stock") and a Series C Senior Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Series C
Preferred Stock"), which rank with respect to dividend rights, liquidation
rights, winding up and dissolution on parity with one another and prior to any
equity securities of the Company, including any other series of preferred
stock. The Acquisition was financed, in part, through the Company's sale of
250,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $100 per
share.

<PAGE>
SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK
Dividends. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive
cumulative dividends at an annual rate of $8.50 per share to be paid pro rata
to such holders, quarterly, in arrears. If the Company is not subject to any
restriction prohibiting the payment of dividends in cash, dividends will be
paid in cash. If any such restriction exists, dividends may be paid by issuing
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which shall
be valued at $100.00 per share (a "PIK Dividend"), or in some combination of
cash and a PIK Dividend. If the Company pays a PIK Dividend at any time after
the third anniversary of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the
annual dividend rate will increase, in the case of PIK Dividends, to $9.50 per
share. If the Company pays a PIK Dividend at any time after the fourth
anniversary of the date of issuance, the annual dividend rate will increase,
in the case of PIK Dividends, to $10.50 per share. If the Company pays a PIK
Dividend at any time after the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, the
annual dividend rate will increase, in the case of PIK Dividends, to $11.00
per share. The foregoing dividend increases relate only to dividends on the
Series B Preferred Stock paid in Series C Preferred Stock and not to cash
dividends paid on the Series B Preferred Stock.
Liquidation Preference. Upon liquidation, holders of Series B Preferred
Stock will be entitled to receive $100.00 for each outstanding share plus all
accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. In the event the Company has
insufficient funds to pay the liquidation price, the holders of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock will share ratably in the distribution of the
Company's assets.
Redemption. The Company may redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at a price
of $100.00 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, to the
extent funds are legally available therefor, in the event that after the
fourth anniversary of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock a 90-day
period passes during which the Company's common stock has traded at a price at
least equal to 200% of the conversion price then in effect. The Company may
not, however, optionally redeem any shares of Series B Preferred Stock without
first redeeming all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Upon any
change in control of the Company, sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company or reconstitution of the board of directors of the
Company, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have the option to
require the Company to redeem their shares for $100.00 per share plus all
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.
Conversion. A share of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted, at the
option of the holder and at any time, into the number of fully paid and non-
assessable shares of common stock of the Company obtained by dividing $100.00
by the conversion price. The initial conversion price is $7.00 per share,
subject to certain adjustments, including a one-time five percent reduction if
the Company declares a PIK Dividend after the third anniversary of the
issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock.
Voting. There are no voting rights granted to holders of Series B Preferred
Stock other than those expressly required by law and as described below.
Whenever dividends are in arrears and remain unpaid for six or more dividend
payment dates, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have the exclusive
right to appoint one additional director to the board of directors of the
Company to serve until all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid in
full. In addition, and whether or not dividends are in arrears, the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock,
voting as a class, are required in order for the Company to (i) create,
authorize or issue any shares of any class of senior or parity dividend or
liquidation stock having class voting rights except as required by the
Delaware General Corporation Law or voting rights in excess of one vote per
share, (ii) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the certificate of
incorporation of the Company if such amendment, alteration or repeal has a
material adverse effect on the rights of the Series B Preferred Stock, or
(iii) declare any reverse stock dividend; provided that the affirmative vote
of the holders of two-thirds of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock is
required to amend, alter or repeal any provision of the certificate of
incorporation of the Company that would adversely affect the rights of the
Series B Preferred Stock holders with respect to dividends, liquidation,
conversion or voting. In all cases where the holders of Series B Preferred
Stock exercise a right to vote, each share thereof is entitled to one vote.
72
<PAGE>
Board Representation. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement between the
Company and the purchasers of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company is
obligated to take all action necessary to cause one person nominated by the
purchasers holding a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock to be nominated
for election to the Board of Directors of the Company and to recommend the
purchasers' nominee in the same manner as all other nominees of the Company,
provided that the Company shall have the right to reject certain nominees of
the purchasers. That obligation of the Company will be in effect only for so
long as the original purchasers of the Series B Preferred Stock hold shares of
Series B Preferred Stock (and/or shares of common stock of the Company
issuable upon conversion of such shares) representing 10% of the shares of the
Company's common stock issued and outstanding after giving effect to the pro
forma conversion of all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock.
SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK
The holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative
dividends when and as declared by the board of directors of the Company at an
annual rate of $8.50 per share to be paid quarterly and pro rata to such
holders. The restrictions on redemption and repurchase of shares in the event
of an arrearage in dividends declared on Series B Preferred Stock apply as
well in the event of an arrearage in dividends on Series C Preferred Stock.
Holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to the same rights upon
liquidation as the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. The Company, at its
option, may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock at any time at a price of
$100.00 per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. Unless the
Company is subject to a restriction on the redemption of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock, the holders thereof may require the Company to redeem such
shares at a price of $100.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends
thereon in the event of any change in control of the Company, sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or reconstitution of the board
of directors of the Company. Other than the right of holders of the Series B
Preferred Stock to appoint an additional board member in the event that
dividends are in arrears for six consecutive dividend payment dates, which is
not a right granted to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of
Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to the same voting rights as the holders
of Series B Preferred Stock.
DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
The Old Notes were, and the New Notes will be, issued pursuant to an
Indenture dated as of May 30, 1996 among the Company, the Guarantors and The
Bank of New York, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). The terms of the New Notes are
identical in all material respects to the Old Notes except for certain
transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the Old Notes and
except that, if the Exchange Offer is not consummated by November 26, 1996,
the rate at which the Old Notes bear interest will be 11 1/2% per annum from
and including November 26, 1996 until but excluding the date of the
consummation of the Exchange Offer. Old Notes and New Notes will be treated as
a single class of securities under the Indenture.
The following summaries of certain provisions of the Indenture do not
purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety
by reference to, all the provisions of the Indenture, including the
definitions therein of certain terms not defined in this Prospectus. A copy of
the Indenture is available upon request to the Company at the address set
forth under "Additional Information" below. Certain terms used herein are
defined below under "Certain Definitions."
GENERAL
The Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company, are
limited to $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount and mature on June 1, 2006.
The Notes bear interest at the rate of 11% per annum from May 30, 1996 or from
the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
provided for, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year,
commencing December 1, 1996 to each Person in whose name a Note is registered
at the close of business on the preceding May 15 or November 15, as the case
may be. Principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes is
payable, and the transfer of Notes
73
<PAGE>
is registrable, at the office or the agency maintained by the Company in the
City of New York. In addition, payment of interest may, at the option of the
Company, be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto
as it appears in the Note Register. Interest is computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
The Notes are issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof. No service charge will be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The Notes will be redeemable at the Company's option, at any time on or
after June 1, 2001, as a whole or from time to time in part, upon not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice mailed to each Holder of Notes to be
redeemed at the Holder's address appearing in the Note Register, at the
following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) if
redeemed during the 12-month period beginning June 1 of the years indicated:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

2004 and thereafter............................................. 100.000%
</TABLE>
together in the case of any such redemption with accrued interest (if any) to
the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Notes will not be
redeemable at the option of the Company during the continuance of certain
defaults under the Indenture. If less than all of the Notes are to be
redeemed, the Notes will be chosen for redemption by the Trustee on a pro rata
basis or by lot.
SUBORDINATION
The Notes are, to the extent set forth in the Indenture, subordinate in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt of the
Company. Upon any payment or distribution of assets to creditors upon any
liquidation, dissolution, winding up, reorganization, assignment for the
benefit of creditors, marshalling of assets or any bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar proceedings of the Company, the holders of Senior Debt will first be
entitled to receive payment in full of such Senior Debt before the Holders of
the Notes will be entitled to receive any payment (other than payment in the
form of certain permitted equity interests or subordinated securities) in
respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes. In
the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee or the Holder of
any Note receives any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any
kind or character (other than payment in the form of certain permitted equity
interests or subordinated securities), before all the Senior Debt is paid in
full, then such payment or distribution will be required to be paid over or
delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy or other Person making
payment or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the
payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay
the Senior Debt in full.
The Company also may not make any payments (other than in the form of
certain permitted equity interests or subordinated securities) on the account
of the Notes or on account of the purchase or redemption or other acquisition
of Notes if there shall have occurred and be continuing a default in the
payment of Designated Senior Debt (a "Payment Default"). In addition, if any
default (other than a Payment Default) with respect to any Designated Senior
Debt permitting (either immediately, or after the giving of any notice, the
lapse of any time or both) the holders thereof (or a trustee or agent on
behalf thereof) to accelerate the maturity thereof (a "Nonmonetary Default")
has occurred and is continuing and the Company and the Trustee have received
written
74
<PAGE>
notice thereof from the representatives of holders of such Designated Senior
Debt, then the Company may not make any payments (other than in the form of
certain permitted equity interests or subordinated securities) on account of
the Notes or on account of the purchase or redemption or other acquisition of
Notes for a period (a "blockage period") commencing on the date the Company
and the Trustee receive such written notice and ending on the earlier of (x)
179 days after such date or (y) the date, if any, on which the Designated
Senior Debt to which such default relates is discharged or such default is
waived or otherwise cured. In any event, not more than one blockage period may
be commenced during any period of 360 consecutive days and there shall be a
period of at least 181 consecutive days in each period of 360 consecutive days
when no blockage period is in effect. No Nonmonetary Default that existed or
was continuing on the date of the commencement of any blockage period with
respect to the Designated Senior Debt initiating such blockage period will be,
or can be, made the basis for the commencement of a subsequent blockage
period, unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less
than 90 consecutive days. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company makes any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Note
prohibited by the subordination provisions, then such payment will be required
to be paid over and delivered forthwith to the holders of the Senior Debt
remaining due and unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay in full all the
Senior Debt.
Each Guarantee is, to the extent set forth in the Indenture, subordinated in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt of such
Guarantor and is subject to the rights of holders of Designated Senior Debt of
such Guarantor to initiate blockage periods upon terms substantially
comparable to the subordination of the Notes to all Senior Debt of the
Company.
By reason of such subordination, in the event of insolvency, creditors of
the Company or a Guarantor who are not holders of Senior Debt may recover
less, ratably, than holders of Senior Debt and may recover more, ratably, than
the Holders of the Notes.
The subordination provisions described above will cease to be applicable to
the Notes and the Guarantees upon any defeasance or covenant defeasance of the
Notes as described under "--Defeasance."
As of June 30, 1996, the amount of Senior Debt of the Company was $169.5
million (including approximately $61.7 million under the Revolving Credit
Facility and $100 million of 9 1/8% Notes) and the Company had the ability to
borrow up to an additional $37.1 million under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The indebtedness of the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility is
collateralized by the accounts receivable, inventory and other assets of the
Company and its Subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Bank Guarantees are
collateralized by the accounts receivable, inventory and other assets of the
Subsidiaries. The Indenture does not prohibit or limit the incurrence of
additional Senior Debt, provided that the incurrence of such Senior Debt is
otherwise permitted thereunder including under the limitations described under
"--Certain Covenants."
As of June 30, 1996, the amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its
Subsidiaries ranking junior in right of payment to the Notes was $167.3
million in principal amount of Convertible Subordinated Debentures.
The Company is a holding company that conducts substantially all of its
operations and derives substantially all of its income through its
subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company's ability to make required principal and
interest payments with respect to the Company's indebtedness, including the
Notes, depends on the earnings of its Subsidiaries and on its ability to
receive funds from such Subsidiaries through dividends or other payments. The
Indenture will, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional
indebtedness and the issuance of preferred stock by the Company's Subsidiaries
and prohibit certain restrictions on distributions from Subsidiaries. However,
those limitations and prohibitions are subject to a number of important
qualifications. See "Risk Factors--Subordination of the Notes" and "--Certain
Covenants."
RIGHT TO REQUIRE REPURCHASE UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL
The Indenture provides that if at any time there is a "Change of Control"
(the date of such Change of Control being the "Trigger Date"), then the
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of such occurrence and
75
<PAGE>
shall promptly make an offer to repurchase (the "Change of Control Offer") on
the Change of Control Payment Date (defined below) all outstanding Notes at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
interest, if any, to and including the Change of Control Payment Date. "Change
of Control Payment Date" means the last day of the fiscal quarter of the
Company next following the Trigger Date or (i) if such day is not a business
day, the next succeeding business day; or (ii) if such day would result in the
Change of Control Offer not remaining open for a sufficient period of time to
comply with applicable securities laws or the rules of any securities exchange
on which the Notes are then listed, the next succeeding business day on which
the consummation of such repurchase may take place without violating such
securities laws or rules. Prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, the
Company covenants to (i) repay in full all obligations under the Revolving
Credit Facility; or (ii) obtain the requisite consents under the Revolving
Credit Facility to permit the repurchase of the Notes as contemplated by this
covenant. Notice of a Change of Control Offer is required to be made by the
Company not less than 20 days before the Change of Control Payment Date or
such other period of time as is necessary for the Change of Control Offer to
remain open for a sufficient period of time to comply with all securities laws
which may then be applicable (including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act). As
of the date of this Offering Circular, Rule 14e-l(a) requires that a tender
offer remain open for not less than 20 business days from the date such tender
offer is commenced.
The Indenture defines a "Change of Control" as: (i) any person or group
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), together with
any Affiliates or Associates thereof, beneficially owning or acquiring in a
single transaction or in a related series of transactions, by way of merger,
consolidation or other business combination, or otherwise purchasing or
acquiring, greater than 40% of the total voting power entitled to vote in the
election of directors of the Company; (ii) the liquidation or dissolution of
the Company; or (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals
who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors of the
Company (together with any new directors whose election by such Board of
Directors or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Company
was approved by a vote of 66 2/3 percent of the directors of the Company then
still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or
whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease
for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the
Company then in office.
GUARANTEES
All of the Subsidiaries of the Company that are guarantors of the
obligations of the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility have guaranteed
on a joint and several basis the payment and performance by the Company of the
Obligations and will pay all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and
disbursements of counsel) paid or incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in
enforcing their rights under the Guarantees. All of the Company's domestic
wholly owned operating Subsidiaries are guarantors of the obligations of the
Company under the Revolving Credit Facility. Each of the Guarantees is a
senior subordinated unsecured obligation of the Subsidiary providing such
Guarantee. Each Guarantee is, to the extent set forth in the Indenture,
subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Debt of such Guarantor and will be subject to the rights of holders of
Designated Senior Debt of such Guarantor to initiate blockage periods upon
terms substantially comparable to the subordination of the Notes to all Senior
Debt of the Company. As of June 30, 1996, the amount of Senior Debt of the
Guarantors was approximately $167.3 million (including the Subsidiary Bank
Guarantees and the Subsidiaries' guarantees of the 9 1/8% Notes). See "--
Subordination."
Under the terms of the Indenture for as long as the Guarantees remain in
effect, if any Subsidiary guarantees Indebtedness of the Company or any other
Subsidiary other than Senior Debt and other than the Notes at any time
subsequent to the date on which the Notes were originally issued and prior to
the termination of the Guarantees, (x) in the case of any Indebtedness that is
subordinate in right of payment to the Notes, the Company shall cause the
Notes to be guaranteed by such Subsidiary prior to such Indebtedness and (y)
in the case of any other Indebtedness, the Company shall cause the Notes to be
equally and ratably guaranteed by such Subsidiary, in each case only to the
extent that the Notes have not already been guaranteed on reasonably
comparable terms by such Subsidiary. In addition, the Indenture provides that
all wholly owned Subsidiaries created subsequent to
76
<PAGE>
the date of the Indenture and prior to the termination of the Guarantees, will
guarantee the Company's obligations to pay principal, premium, if any, and
interest with respect to the Notes. Following any sale or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of a Subsidiary or all of the capital
stock of a Subsidiary permitted by and in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture, such Subsidiary will be released from its Guarantee obligations.
The obligations of each Subsidiary as guarantor are limited to the maximum
amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed
liabilities of such Subsidiary and after giving effect to any collections from
or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary in respect of the
obligations of such other Subsidiary under its Guarantee or pursuant to its
contribution obligations under the Indenture, result in the obligations of
such Subsidiary under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance
or fraudulent transfer under federal, state or foreign law. Each Subsidiary
that makes a payment or distribution of more than its proportionate share
under a Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other
Subsidiary which has not paid its share of such payment or distribution.
Although holders of the Notes will be direct creditors of the Guarantors by
virtue of the Guarantees, existing or future creditors of the Guarantors could
attempt to avoid Guarantees, in whole or in part, under fraudulent conveyance
laws. To the extent any Guarantee is avoided as a fraudulent conveyance or
held unenforceable for any other reason, the claims of the holders of the
Notes against a Subsidiary who is not a valid Guarantor would be subject to
the prior payment of all liabilities of that Subsidiary.
Under the terms of the Indenture, the Guarantee of any Subsidiary shall
terminate in the event that (i) such Subsidiary shall no longer be obligated
to guarantee any Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility; and (ii) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If the
Guarantees are terminated, the Notes shall be obligations solely of the
Company, and the Subsidiaries will not be obligated or required to pay any
amounts due pursuant to the Notes or to make funds available therefor in the
form of dividends or advances to the Company. In addition, if such termination
occurs, the Notes will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future
indebtedness of the Subsidiaries. As of June 30, 1996, the Guarantors had
outstanding Indebtedness in the amount of $292.3 million (of which $161.7
million represents the Subsidiary Bank Guarantees and the Subsidiaries'
guarantees of the 9 1/8% Notes). The Company has agreed that no Subsidiary
shall become obligated to guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company or any
other Subsidiary for a 120-day period immediately following the termination of
such Subsidiary's guarantee obligation under the Indenture.
Because the Revolving Credit Facility does not provide for any specific
conditions under which the Subsidiary Bank Guarantees will be terminated
during the term of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Subsidiary Bank
Guarantees may only be terminated upon the waiver or release of some or all of
the Subsidiary Bank Guarantees by the banks under the Revolving Credit
Facility or upon the liquidation, dissolution or disposition of the applicable
Subsidiary. Because it is possible that the Guarantees could be waived or
released by the banks under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time,
including upon an event of default under the Notes, there can be no assurance
that holders of the Notes will have the right to proceed directly against the
Company's guaranteeing Subsidiaries under the terms of the Guarantees. From
time to time the interests of the banks in maintaining the Subsidiary Bank
Guarantees under the Revolving Credit Facility may differ from the interests
of the holders of the Notes.
The 9 1/8% Senior Notes are guaranteed by the Company's Subsidiaries on a
senior basis to the Subsidiaries' Guarantees of the Notes. The Subsidiaries'
guarantees of the 9 1/8% Notes are subject to the same termination provisions
as are the Subsidiaries' Guarantees of the Notes. See "Description of the 9
1/8% Senior Notes."
The Company has guaranteed the Subsidiaries' Guarantees, which guarantee by
the Company ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Notes.
BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM
The New Notes will be issued in the form of a Global Note. The Global Note
will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depository and registered in the
name of the Depository or its nominee. Except as set forth below,
77
<PAGE>
the Global Note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to the
Depository or another nominee of the Depository. Investors may hold their
beneficial interests in the Global Note directly through the Depository if
they have an account with the Depository or indirectly through organizations
which have accounts with the Depository.
New Notes that were exchanged for Old Notes that were (i) originally issued
to institutional "accredited investors" (as defined in Rule 501 (a)(1), (2),
(3) or (7) under the Securities Act) who were not qualified institutional
buyers ("QIBs") or (ii) issued as described below under "--Certificated Notes"
will be issued in definitive form. Upon the transfer of a Note in definitive
form, such Note will, unless the Global Note has previously been exchanged for
Notes in definitive form, be exchanged for an interest in the Global Note
representing the principal amount of Notes being transferred.
The Depository has advised the Company as follows: The Depository is a
limited-purpose trust company and organized under the laws of the State of New
York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within
the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and "a clearing agency"
registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Depository was created to hold
securities of institutions that have accounts with the Depository
("participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities
transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic
book-entry changes in the accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating
the need for physical movement of securities certificates. The Depository's
participants include securities brokers and dealers (which may include the
Initial Purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain
other organizations. Access to the Depository's book-entry system is also
available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that
clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, whether
directly or indirectly.
Upon the issuance of the Global Note, the Depository will credit, on its
book-entry registration and transfer system, the principal amount of the Notes
represented by the Global Note to the accounts of participants. Ownership of
beneficial interests in the Global Note will be limited to participants or
persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial
interests in the Global Note will be shown on, and the transfer of those
ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the
Depository (with respect to participants' interests) and such participants
(with respect to the owners of beneficial interests in the Global Note other
than participants). The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain
purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in
definitive form. Such limits and laws may impair the ability to transfer or
pledge beneficial interests in the Global Note.
So long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered holder and
owner of the Global Note, the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be,
will be considered the sole legal owner and holder of the related Notes for
all purposes of such Notes and the Indenture. Except as set forth below,
owners of beneficial interests in the Global Note will not be entitled to have
the Notes represented by the Global Note registered in their names, will not
receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes in
definitive form and will not be considered to be the owners or holders of any
Notes under the Global Note. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial
interest in the Global Note must rely on the procedures of the Depository and,
if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant
through which such person owns its interests, to exercise any right of a
holder of Notes under the Global Note. The Company understands that under
existing industry practice, in the event an owner of a beneficial interest in
the Global Note desires to take any action that the Depository, as the holder
of the Global Note, is entitled to take, the Depository would authorize the
participants to take such action, and that the participants would authorize
beneficial owners owning through such participants to take such action or
would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through
them.
Payment of principal of and interest on New Notes represented by the Global
Note registered in the name of and held by the Depository or its nominee will
be made to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the
registered owner and holder of the Global Note.

<PAGE>
The Company expects that the Depository or its nominee, upon receipt of any
payment of principal of or interest on the Global Note, will credit
participants' accounts with payment in amounts proportionate to their
respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Note as
shown on the records of the Depository or its nominee. The Company also
expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the
Global Note held through such participants will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such
participants. The Company will not have any responsibility or liability for
any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of,
beneficial ownership interests in the Global Note for any Note or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests or for other aspects of the relationship between the
Depository and its participants or the relationship between such participants
and the owners of beneficial interests in the Global Note owning through such
participants.
Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for certificated New
Notes in definitive form, the Global Note may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depository to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of
such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository.
Although the Depository has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to
facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Note among participants of the
Depository, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such
procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither the
Trustee nor the Company will have any responsibility for the performance by
the Depository or its participants or indirect participants of their
respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their
operations.
CERTIFICATED NOTES
The New Notes represented by the Global Note are exchangeable for
certificated Notes in definitive form of like tenor as such New Notes in
denominations of $1,000 and multiples thereof if (i) the Depository notifies
the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the
Global Note or if at any time the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Company in its discretion at any
time determines not to have any of the Notes represented by the Global Note or
(iii) a default entitling the holders of the Notes to accelerate the maturity
thereof has occurred and is continuing. Any New Note that is exchangeable
pursuant to the preceding sentence is exchangeable for certificated New Notes
issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the
Depository shall direct. Subject to the foregoing, the Global Note is not
exchangeable, except for a Global Note of the same aggregate denomination to
be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee.
REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER; REGISTRATION RIGHTS
The Company has agreed pursuant to a registration rights agreement (the
"Registration Rights Agreement") with the Initial Purchasers, for the benefit
of the holders of the Notes, that the Company will, at its cost,(i) within 75
days after the Issue Date, file a registration statement (the "Exchange Offer
Registration Statement") with the SEC with respect to a registered offer (the
"Registered Exchange Offer") to exchange the Notes for the Exchange Notes,
which will have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the
Notes (except that the Exchange Notes will not contain terms with respect to
transfer restrictions) and (ii) use its best efforts to cause the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act
within 150 days after the Issue Date. Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement, the Company will offer the Exchange Notes in
exchange for surrender of the Notes. The Company will keep the Registered
Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days (or longer if required by
applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is
mailed to the holders of the Notes. For each Note surrendered to the Company
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, the holder of such Note will
receive an Exchange Note having a principal amount equal to that of the
surrendered Note. Interest on each Exchange Note will accrue from the last
interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Note surrendered in
exchange thereof or, if no interest has been paid on such Note, from the date
of its original issue. Under existing SEC interpretations, the Exchange Notes
would be freely transferable by holders other than affiliates of the Company
after the
79
<PAGE>
Registered Exchange Offer without further registration under the Securities
Act if the holder of the Exchange Notes represents that it is acquiring the
Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of its business, that it has no
arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Exchange Notes and that it is not an affiliate of the
Company, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC; provided, however, that
broker-dealers ("Participating Broker-Dealers") receiving Exchange Notes in
the Registered Exchange Offer will have a prospectus delivery requirement with
respect to resales of such Exchange Notes. The SEC has taken the position that
Participating Broker-Dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery
requirements with respect to Exchange Notes (other than a resale of an unsold
allotment from the original sale of the Notes) with the prospectus contained
in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. Under the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company is required to allow Participating Broker-Dealers and
other persons, if any, with similar prospectus and delivery requirements to
use the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in
connection with the resale of such Exchange Notes.
A holder of Notes (other than certain specified holders) who wishes to
exchange such Notes for Exchange Notes in the Registered Exchange Offer will
be required to represent that any Exchange Notes to be received by it will be
acquired in the ordinary course of its business and that at the time of the
commencement of the Registered Exchange Offer it has no arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes and that it is not an
"affiliate" of the Company, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or
if it is an affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable.
In the event that applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC do not
permit the Company to effect such a Registered Exchange Offer, or if for any
other reason the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated within 180 days
of the Issue Date, or if the Initial Purchasers so request with respect to
Notes not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Notes in the Registered
Exchange Offer, or if any holder of Notes is not eligible to participate in
the Registered Exchange Offer or does not receive freely tradeable Exchange
Notes in the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company will, at its cost, (a) as
promptly as practicable, file a shelf registration statement (the "Shelf
Registration Statement") with the SEC covering resales of the Notes or the
Exchange Notes, as the case may be, (b) use its best efforts to cause the
Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act
and (c) keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective until the earlier of
(i) the time when the Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement can be
sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any limitations under clauses (c), (e), (f)
and (h) of Rule 144 and (ii) three years from the Issue Date. The Company
will, in the event a Shelf Registration Statement is filed, among other
things, provide to each holder for whom such Shelf Registration Statement was
filed copies of the prospectus which is a part of the Shelf Registration
Statement, notify each such holder when the Shelf Registration Statement has
become effective and take certain other actions as are required to permit
unrestricted resales of the Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be. A
holder selling such Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement generally would be required to be named as a selling security holder
in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be
subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act
in connection with such sales and will be bound by the provisions of the
Registration Rights Agreement which are applicable to such holder (including
certain indemnification obligations).
If (i) by August 13, 1996, neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC; (ii) by
November 26, 1996, neither the Registered Exchange Offer is consummated nor
the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective; or (iii) after either
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement
is declared effective, such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be
effective or usable (subject to certain exceptions) in connection with resales
of Notes or Exchange Notes in accordance with and during the periods specified
in the Registration Rights Agreement (each such event referred to in clause
(i) through (iii) being herein called a "Registration Default"), interest will
accrue on the Notes at the rate of 11 1/2% per annum from and including the
date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the
date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured. At all other times,
the Notes will bear interest at a rate of 11% per annum.

Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Registration Rights
Agreement, a copy of which is available upon request to the Company.

The Indenture contains certain covenants, including the ones summarized
below, which covenants will be applicable (unless waived or amended) so long
as any of the Notes are outstanding.
Limitation on Indebtedness. The Company will not, and will not permit any of
its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, or
directly or indirectly guarantee, any Indebtedness, except for:

Company which exist as of the date of the Indenture and guarantees by the
Company of Indebtedness that is otherwise permitted under the Indenture; (vii)

Indebtedness of a Subsidiary to a Subsidiary; (ix) additional Indebtedness of
the Company and its Subsidiaries not outstanding as of the date of the
Indenture if the Consolidated EBITDA Coverage Ratio of the Company for its
four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding the date such additional
Indebtedness is created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed (the "Incurrence
Date") determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of
the net proceeds of such Indebtedness) as if such additional Indebtedness had
been created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed and any related transactions or
acquisitions had been consummated, at the beginning of such four quarter
period, for any Incurrence Date occurring during the period set forth below,
would have been at least 2.25 to 1.00; and (x) Indebtedness of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, all of the net proceeds, if any, of which (after reasonable
fees, expenses and costs related to the incurrence of such Indebtedness) are
applied entirely to repay or to refund outstanding Indebtedness permitted
under clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (ix) above and this clause (x) and
any extensions or renewals of outstanding Indebtedness under clauses (ii),
(iii), (iv) and (ix) and this clause (x) ("Refinancing Indebtedness");
provided, however, that (A) the maximum principal amount of the Refinancing
Indebtedness permitted under this clause (x) shall not exceed the maximum
principal amount outstanding (or, in the case of clause (ii) above, available)
and accrued interest of the Indebtedness to be repaid, refunded or refinanced
plus the amount of reasonable fees, expenses and costs related to the
incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness, (B) the maturity of any
Refinancing Indebtedness of Indebtedness other than Senior Debt shall not be
earlier than the maturity of the Indebtedness being so extended, renewed,
refunded or refinanced, and (C) with respect to any Refinancing Indebtedness
of Indebtedness other than Senior Debt, such Refinancing Indebtedness shall
rank no more senior, and shall be at least as subordinated, in right of
payment to the Notes as the Indebtedness being so extended, renewed, refunded
or refinanced. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the
Company will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create,
incur, issue, assume or guaranty directly or indirectly any Indebtedness
except for Indebtedness permitted by clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vii) and
(viii), Indebtedness permitted by clause (ix) to the extent incurred in
connection with an acquisition and Refinancing Indebtedness of Indebtedness

contrary, the Company may permit any Subsidiary to create, incur or assume (a)
Indebtedness incurred to purchase, or to finance the purchase of, fixed or
capital assets, including, without limitation, the deferred purchase price of
fixed or capital assets; provided that such Indebtedness is secured only as
permitted under "--Limitation on Liens" below; and (b) Indebtedness incurred
in connection with Capital Lease Obligations, provided that such Indebtedness

Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Company will not, and will not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: (i) declare or pay any
dividend or make any distribution on account of the Company's or any of its
Subsidiaries' capital stock or other Equity Interests, other than dividends or
distributions payable in Equity Interests of the Company or its Subsidiaries
and dividends or distributions payable to the Company or another Subsidiary of
the Company; (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value
any Equity Interests of the Company or any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate
of the Company, other than any such Equity Interests owned by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries (except as permitted in clause (iv) below);
(iii) voluntarily prepay, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for
value any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than
any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the Company or
another Subsidiary) that is subordinated to the Notes prior to the scheduled
maturity payments, scheduled sinking fund payments or similar mandatory
requirements provided for pursuant to the terms of such Indebtedness other
than as specifically permitted by the terms of the Indenture or in connection
with any refinancing thereof permitted by the terms of the Indenture; or (iv)
make any Investment in any Affiliate of the Company other than a Subsidiary or
a person which will become a Subsidiary as a result of any such Investment
(all of the foregoing dividends, distributions, purchases, redemptions or
other acquisitions, retirements, prepayments or Investments set forth in
clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred to as "Restricted
Payments"), if at the time of such Restricted Payment: (i) a Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a
consequence thereof; or (ii) the Company shall not be able to incur at least
$1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the limitation on additional
Indebtedness provisions set forth in the Indenture (as described above); or
(iii) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate of all other
Restricted Payments made after the date hereof, exceeds the sum of (x) 50% of
the amount of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken
as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter
immediately after the date of the Indenture to the end of the Company's most
recently ended quarter at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if
Consolidated Net Income for such period is negative, 100% of such accumulated
amount) plus (y) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the
Company from the issue or sale after the date of this Indenture of capital
stock of the Company (other than (i) the Company's Series B Preferred Stock,
(ii) Redeemable Capital Stock or Exchangeable Stock and (iii) capital stock
issued or sold to a Subsidiary of the Company) or any Indebtedness or other
security convertible into or exercisable for any such capital stock (other
than Redeemable Capital Stock or Exchangeable Stock) that has been so
converted or exercised, the sum of (x) and (y) hereinafter referred to as the
"Earned Amount"; provided, however, that if the amount of Investments made
pursuant to clause (v) below exceeds $5.0 million, the Company may not, and
may not permit any Subsidiary to, make any Restricted Payment (other than (i)
dividends on the Company's Series B Preferred Stock and the Company's Series C
Preferred Stock, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2.125 million in any
fiscal year and (ii) other Restricted Payments in the discretion of the
Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.0 million in any fiscal year)
unless the Earned Amount (less Restricted Payments made to such date) equals
the amount of Investments made pursuant to clause (v) below in excess of $5.0
million. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirement that the Company be
able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the
limitation on additional Indebtedness provisions in the Indenture will not
apply to the Company's ability to make Restricted Payments in the form of
dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of
this section shall not prohibit the following (none of which will, unless
otherwise indicated, be deemed Restricted Payments for purposes of reducing
the amount that would be available for Restricted Payments under the test
described in the immediately preceding sentence): (i) the payment of cash
dividends on the Company's Series B Preferred Stock and the Company's Series C
Preferred Stock in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2.125 million in any
fiscal year, provided, however, that such express permission will terminate as
of the end of the fiscal quarter during which the Earned Amount first equals
$10.0 million; (ii) the payment of other Restricted Payments in the discretion
of the Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.0 million in any fiscal
year, provided, however, that such express permission will terminate as of the
end of the fiscal quarter during which the Earned Amount first equals $10.0
million; (iii) the retirement of any shares of the Company's capital stock in
exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent
sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, other shares of
82
<PAGE>
the Company's capital stock; provided that the retirement of any shares of
capital stock out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent
sale of other shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to this clause
(iii) shall reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for Restricted
Payments under the test described in the immediately preceding sentence; (iv)
repurchases and redemptions of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures
required pursuant to or to be applied to the mandatory redemption provisions
of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures as in effect on the date of the
Indenture; provided that any such redemption or repurchase is consummated
during the 12-month period immediately preceding the date on which the next
such redemption or repurchase becomes mandatory; or (v) Investments in
Affiliates in an aggregate amount up to $20.0 million.
Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Company
Subsidiaries; Limitation on Preferred Stock of Subsidiaries. The Company will
not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
create or otherwise cause to exist or become effective any consensual
encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any Subsidiary (i) to
pay dividends or make any other distribution on its capital stock or any other
interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, owned by the
Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or pay any Indebtedness owed to the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) to make loans or advances to
the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or (iii) to transfer any of its
property or assets to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, except for
such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of (a)
applicable law; (b) the Indenture and the Notes; (c) provisions restricting
the assignability of contracts in the ordinary course of business; (d)
customary lease provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any
leasehold interest; (e) any instrument governing Indebtedness of a Person
acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company at the time of such
acquisition (but not in connection with such acquisition); (f) any
Indebtedness or other contractual obligation of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries existing on the date of the Indenture; or (g) with respect to
item (e) and item (f), any amendment, modification, renewal, extension,
replacement, refinancing or refunding thereof; provided that the restrictions
contained in any such amendment, modification, renewal, extension,
replacement, refinancing or refunding are not less favorable in any material
respect to the holders of the Notes.
The Company shall not permit any Subsidiary to issue, directly or
indirectly, any preferred stock, other than to the Company or any other
Subsidiary.
Limitation on Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, create, incur or assume any Lien of any kind upon any of its
property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits
therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, without
in any case effectively providing, concurrently with the creation, incurrence
or assumption of such Lien, that (x) in the case of any Lien securing
Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes, the Notes
outstanding shall be secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds
that is senior in priority to, and for the same period of time as, such Lien
and (y) in the case of any other Lien, the Notes outstanding shall be secured
equally and ratably with (or prior to), and for the same period of time as,
the Indebtedness secured by the Lien; provided, however, that the foregoing
restrictions shall not apply to: (i) any Lien existing on the date hereof
securing Indebtedness and any Lien securing Senior Debt; (ii) Liens on any
property or asset acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary which are in
existence on the date of acquisition of such property or are incurred in
connection with such acquisition, including purchase money Liens, and, in the
case of a person which becomes a Subsidiary, Liens on its property or capital
stock in existence on the date such person becomes a Subsidiary; (iii) Liens
on any property or asset acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in
favor of the seller of such property or asset or construction mortgages on
property created within six months after the acquisition, construction or
improvement of such property by the Company or a Subsidiary to secure the
purchase price or other obligations of the Company to the sellers of such
property or asset or the construction cost or improvement cost of only such
property in an amount up to the total cost of such property, construction or
improvement; provided that such Lien does not extend to or cover or include
any other property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv)
Liens to secure Indebtedness of a Subsidiary to the Company or to another
Subsidiary; (v) Permitted Liens; (vi) Liens other than those set forth above
provided that the aggregate amount of outstanding
83
<PAGE>
Indebtedness secured by such other Liens shall not exceed $2.0 million at any
one time; and (vii) any extension, renewal or replacement, in whole or in
part, of any Lien described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi);
provided that any Lien so extended, renewed or replaced shall be no more
restrictive in any material respect or extend to or cover or include any other
property or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. The Company will not, and will
not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or
suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including,
without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or
the rendering of any service or the entering into of any agreement, contract,
understanding, loan or guarantee) with or for the benefit of any Affiliate
(other than a wholly-owned Subsidiary) of the Company except for (i)
transactions the terms of which are at least as favorable as the terms that
could be obtained by the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a
comparable transaction made on an arm's length basis between unaffiliated
parties; provided that, with respect to any transaction or series of
transactions involving aggregate payments in excess of $3.0 million, the
Company delivers an officer's certificate to the Trustee certifying that such
transaction or transactions (x) complies with this clause (i) and (y) has
received the approval of a majority of the directors of the Board of Directors
of the Company that are not officers of the Company and otherwise have no
interest in the transaction being approved (the "Disinterested Directors"),
(ii) transactions the terms of which are not at least as favorable as the
terms that could be obtained by the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case
may be, in a comparable transaction made on an arm's length basis between
unaffiliated parties; provided that, with respect to any transaction or series
of transactions involving aggregate payments in excess of $1.0 million, the
Company delivers an officer's certificate to the Trustee certifying that such
transaction or transactions has received the approval of a majority of the
Disinterested Directors, (iii) transactions permitted by the provisions of the
Indenture described above under clause (v) of the second paragraph of
"Limitation on Restricted Payments" and (iv) payments to employees or
consultants for services rendered in the ordinary course of business.
Limitation on Asset Sales. The Company will not, and will not permit any of
its Subsidiaries to, sell, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of in any
transaction or related series of transactions any of its assets or property
(including the stock of any Subsidiary) with a value of $3.0 million or
greater (including by way of a sale-and-leaseback) (an "Asset Sale") other
than to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, except that: (i) the
Company and its Subsidiaries may sell inventory and assets or property in the
ordinary course of business; (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries may sell
property or assets at not less than fair market value thereof provided that
(a) in cases other than an Asset Sale of discontinued operations of the
Company and the Subsidiaries classified as such on the date of the Indenture,
at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such
Subsidiary is in the form of cash and (b) the Company shall apply 100% of the
Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale to an offer to redeem the Notes at a purchase
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, or to repay Senior Debt or, if no Senior Debt is at the time
outstanding, other Indebtedness that is not subordinate in right of payment to
the Notes; and (iii) the Company or any Subsidiary may make dispositions of
assets in order to comply with applicable law. The Company shall have no
obligation to make an offer to redeem the Notes or to repay Indebtedness

Company has a bona fide intent to reinvest the Net Proceeds from the Asset
Sale in another asset or business in the same or similar line of business as
the Company or its Subsidiaries existing on the date of the Indenture and
controlled by the Company or its Subsidiaries, such intent to reinvest is
evidenced by a certificate of a corporate officer of the Company to such
effect delivered to the Trustee within 30 days of the occurrence of such Asset
Sale and the Net Proceeds thereof are so reinvested within 270 days of the
receipt thereof; provided, however, that any such asset or business acquired

asset or property that is the subject of the Asset Sale. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries may make any Investment in any
Affiliate of the Company; provided that such Investment complies with "--
Limitation on Restricted Payments" above; and provided, further, that such
Investment is first applied to reduce the amounts available for Investment
pursuant to clause (v) of the second paragraph under "--Limitation on
Restricted Payments;" and (ii) any cash or Cash Equivalents received by the
Company or any Subsidiary at the time an Investment in an Affiliate is made in

Limitation on Senior Subordinated Debt. The Company will not (i) incur,
create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any

any default, officers of the Company are required to deliver an Officers
Certificate to the Trustee describing actions the Company proposes to take
with respect thereto.

Notes may waive compliance by the Company with certain restrictive provisions
of the Indenture. Without the consent of any Holder of the Notes, the Company
and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in
addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption
of the Company's obligations under the Notes in the case of a permitted
merger, to comply with the Trust Indenture Act, to reflect the release or
addition of a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, or to make any
change that does not adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder of the
Notes.
MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS
The Company will not and will not permit any Subsidiary to consolidate or
merge with or into (whether or not the Company or such Subsidiary is the
surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more
related transactions to, another corporation, person or entity unless (i)
either the Company or such Subsidiary or another Subsidiary is the surviving
person or the entity or the person (if other than the Company or such
Subsidiary or another Subsidiary) formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease,
conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation
organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof
or the District of Columbia; (ii) the person (if other than the Company or
such Subsidiary or another Subsidiary) formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease,
conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all the
obligations of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to
a supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee,
under the Notes and the Indenture; (iii) immediately after such transaction no
Default or Event of Default exists; and (iv) the Company (or, with respect to
such a transaction involving the Company in which the Company does not
survive, the surviving person) (A) shall have Consolidated Net Worth
(immediately after the transaction but prior to any purchase accounting
adjustments resulting from the transaction) equal to or greater than the
Consolidated Net Worth of the Company immediately preceding the transaction
and (B) shall be permitted, by virtue of its Consolidated EBITDA Coverage
Ratio for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters to incur at least
$1.00 of additional Indebtedness; provided, however, that for purposes of this
provision, the Consolidated EBITDA Coverage Ratio shall be calculated after
giving pro forma effect to such consolidation or merger, or such sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, as if the same
had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, any transaction
involving the disposition of the assets or property of any Subsidiary which
complies with "--Limitation on Asset Sales" above shall not be prohibited by
this paragraph.
DEFEASANCE
The Company at any time may terminate all its obligations under the Notes
and the Indenture ("legal defeasance"), except for certain obligations,
including those respecting the defeasance trust and obligations to register
the transfer or exchange of the Notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the
Notes. The Company at any time may terminate its obligations under the
covenants described under "Certain Covenants" and "Right to Require Repurchase
Upon Change of Control" above and the subordination provisions of the
Indenture ("covenant defeasance"). The Company may exercise its legal
defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant
defeasance option. If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option,
payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default
with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option,
payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default
specified in clause (c) or (e) of the first paragraph of "Events of Default"
above.
In order to exercise either defeasance option, the Company must irrevocably
deposit in trust (the "defeasance trust") with the Trustee money or U.S.
Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium (if any) and
interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be, and must
comply with
91
<PAGE>
certain other conditions, including delivery to the Trustee of an opinion of
counsel to the effect that holders of the Notes will not recognize income,
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance
and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been in the case if such defeasance
had not occurred (and, in the case of legal defeasance only, such opinion of
counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or other
change in applicable federal income tax law).
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
The Trustee under the Indenture may at times be a depository for funds of,
make loans to, or perform services for, the Company and its Subsidiaries in
the normal course of its business. The Indenture will not preclude the Trustee
from enforcing its rights as a creditor.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes
will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to
certain exceptions. The Indenture will provide that in case an Event of
Default shall occur (which shall not be cured), the Trustee will be required,
in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in
the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will
be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the
Indenture at the request of any of the Holders of the Notes, unless they shall
have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against
any loss, liability or expense.
The Trustee, or its affiliates, participate on a regular basis in various
banking transactions for the Company.
TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE
A holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture.
The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents, and to pay any taxes and fees required by
law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar is not required to transfer
or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Registrar is not
required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed or an interest payment date.

GOVERNING LAW
The Indenture and the Notes shall be deemed to be contracts made under the
laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a general discussion of the principal United States federal
income tax consequences of the exchange of Old Notes for New Notes (the
"Exchange") and of the ownership and disposition of the New Notes to initial
beneficial owners of the Notes who are U.S. Holders (as defined below), as
well as, the principal U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of the
Exchange and of the ownership and disposition of the New Notes to initial
beneficial owners of the Notes who are Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below).
This discussion is based on currently existing provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), existing and proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial
interpretations
92
<PAGE>
thereof, all as in effect or proposed on the date hereof and all of which are
subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or different
interpretations. It does not include any description of the tax laws of any
state, local or foreign government that may be applicable to the Exchange or
to the ownership and disposition of the New Notes. This discussion does not
address the tax consequences to subsequent beneficial owners of the New Notes,
and is limited to beneficial owners who hold the New Notes as capital assets
within the meaning of section 1221 of the Code. This discussion also does not
address the tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders that are subject to U.S.
federal income or estate tax on a net basis on income realized with respect to
a New Note because such income is effectively connected with the conduct of a
U.S. trade or business. Such holders are generally taxed in a similar manner
to U.S. Holders; however, certain special rules apply. Moreover, this
discussion is for general information only, and does not address all of the
U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular
initial beneficial owners in light of their personal circumstances, or to
certain types of initial beneficial owners (such as certain financial
institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, dealers in securities
or persons who have hedged the risk of owning a New Note).
HOLDERS EXCHANGING OLD NOTES FOR NEW NOTES ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN
TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE EXCHANGE AND
OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NEW NOTES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY
OF ANY FEDERAL TAX LAWS OR ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS, AND ANY
CHANGES (OR PROPOSED CHANGES) IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS OR INTERPRETATIONS
THEREOF.
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION OF U.S. HOLDERS
Payments of Interest
In general, interest on a New Note will be taxable to a beneficial owner who
or which is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation
created or organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof
(including the District of Columbia) or (iii) a person otherwise subject to
U.S. federal income taxation on its worldwide income (a "U.S. Holder") as
ordinary income at the time it is (actually or constructively) received or
accrued, depending on the beneficial owner's method of accounting for U.S.
federal income tax purposes.
Registered Exchange Offer
The exchange of Old Notes for the New Notes pursuant to this Exchange Offer
will not be treated as an "exchange" for U.S. federal income tax purposes
because the New Notes will not be considered to differ materially in kind or
extent from the Old Notes. As a result, there will be no U.S. federal income
tax consequences to beneficial owners exchanging the Old Notes for the New
Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
Sale, Exchange or Retirement of the New Notes
Upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement at maturity or other
disposition of a New Note, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize taxable gain
or loss equal to the difference between the sum of cash plus the fair market
value of all other property received on such disposition (except to the extent
such cash or property is attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which
will be taxable as ordinary income) and such beneficial owner's adjusted tax
basis in the New Note. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in a New Note
generally will equal the cost of the Old Note to such holder, less any
principal payments received by such holder.
Gain or loss recognized on the disposition of a New Note generally will be
capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the
time of such disposition, the U.S. Holder's holding period for the New Note
(which would include such holder's holding period in the Old Note exchanged
therefore) is more than one year.

U.S. TAXATION OF NON-U.S. HOLDERS
Under present U.S. federal income and estate tax law and subject to the
discussion of backup withholding below:
(i) payments of principal and interest on the New Notes by the Company or
any agent of the Company to any beneficial owner of a New Note that is not
a U.S. Holder (a "Non-U.S. Holder") will not be subject to U.S. federal
withholding tax, provided that in the case of interest, either (a) (1) the
Non-U.S. Holder does not actually or constructively own 10 percent or more
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company
entitled to vote, (2) the Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign
corporation that is related to the Company through stock ownership, (3) the
Non-U.S. Holder is not a bank described in Section 881 (c)(3)(A) of the
Code, and (4) either (A) the beneficial owner of the New Notes certifies to
the Company or its agent on Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W-8 (or a
suitable substitute form), under penalties of perjury, that it is not a
"U.S. person" (as defined in the Code) and provides its name and address,
or (B) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial
institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its
trade or business (a "financial institution") and holds the New Notes on
behalf of the beneficial owner certifies to the Company or its agent under
penalties of perjury that such statement has been received from the
beneficial owner by it or by a financial institution between it and the
beneficial owner and furnishes the payor with a copy thereof or (b) the
Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to the benefits of an income tax treaty under
which interest on the New Notes is exempt from U.S. withholding tax and
provides a properly executed IRS Form 1001 claiming the exemption;
(ii) the exchange of Old Notes for the New Notes pursuant to the Exchange
Offer will not be treated as an "exchange" for U.S. federal income tax
purposes because the New Notes will not be considered to differ materially
in kind or extent from the Old Notes. As a result, there will be no U.S.
federal income tax consequences to beneficial owners exchanging the Old
Notes for the New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer;
(iii) a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding
tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or redemption of a New Note,
unless the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United
States for a period or periods aggregating 183 or more days in the taxable
year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met; and
(iv) New Notes held at the time of death (or theretofore transferred
subject to certain retained rights or powers) by an individual who at the
time of death is a Non-U.S. Holder will not be included in such holder's
gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes provided that the
individual does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company entitled to
vote or hold the New Notes in connection with a U.S. trade or business.
INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING
For each calendar year in which the New Notes are outstanding, the Company
is required to provide the IRS with certain information, including the
beneficial owner's name, address and taxpayer identification number, the
aggregate amount of interest paid to that beneficial owner during the calendar
year and the amount of tax withheld, if any. This obligation, however, does
not apply with respect to certain payments to U.S. Holders, including
corporations, tax-exempt organizations, qualified pension and profit sharing
trusts and individual retirement accounts, provided that they establish
entitlement to an exemption.
In the event that a U.S. Holder subject to the reporting requirements
described above fails to supply its correct taxpayer identification number in
the manner required by applicable law or underreports its tax liability, the
Company, its agents or paying agents or a broker may be required to "backup"
withhold a tax equal to 31% of each payment of interest and principal (and
premium, if any) on the New Notes. This backup withholding is not an
additional tax and may be credited against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal
income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to
the IRS.
94
<PAGE>
Under current Treasury regulations, backup withholding and information
reporting will not apply to payments made by the Company or any agent thereof
(in its capacity as such) to a Non-U.S. Holder of a New Note if such holder
has provided the required certification that it is not a U.S. person as set
forth in clause (4) in the first paragraph under "U.S. Taxation of Non-U.S.
Holders", or has otherwise established an exemption (provided that neither the
Company nor its agent has actual knowledge that the holder is a U.S. person or
that the conditions of any exemption are not in fact satisfied).
Payment of the proceeds from the sale of a New Note to or through a foreign
office of a broker will not be subject to information reporting or backup
withholding, except that if the broker is a U.S. person, a controlled foreign
corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or a foreign person 50
percent or more of whose gross income from all sources for the three-year
period ending with the close of its taxable year preceding the payment was
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, information reporting may
apply to such payments. Payment of the proceeds from the sale of a New Note to
or through the U.S. office of a broker is subject to information reporting and
backup withholding unless the holder or beneficial owner certifies as to its
taxpayer identification number or otherwise establishes an exemption from
information reporting and backup withholding.
PROPOSED REGULATIONS
The IRS recently issued proposed regulations relating to withholding, backup
withholding and information reporting that, if adopted in their current form,
would, among other things, unify current certification procedures and forms
and clarify certain reliance standards. The regulations are proposed to be
effective for payments made after December 31, 1997 but provide that
certificates issued on or before the date that is 60 days after the proposed
regulations are made final will continue to be valid until they expire. The
proposed regulations, however, may be subject to change prior to their
adoption in final form.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Based on interpretations by the staff of the Commission set forth in no-
action letters issued to third parties, the Company believes that the New
Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Old Notes may be
offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by any holder thereof
(other than any such holder that is an "affiliate" of the Company within the
meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) without compliance
with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities
Act, provided that such New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such
holder's business, and such holder has no arrangement with any person to
participate in the distribution of such New Notes. Accordingly, any holder who
is an affiliate of the Company or any holder using the Exchange Offer to
participate in a distribution of the New Notes will not be able to rely on
such interpretations by the staff of the Commission and must comply with the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with a resale transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to the
Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of such New Notes. This Prospectus, as it may be
amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in
connection with any resale of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes
where such Old Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or
other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 180
days from the date of this Prospectus, it will make this Prospectus, as
amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection
with any such resale. The Company has not entered into any arrangement or
understanding with any person to distribute the New Notes to be received in
the Exchange Offer.
The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of New Notes by
broker-dealers. New Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more
transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions,
through the writing of options on the New Notes or a combination of such
methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at
prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such
resale may be made
95
<PAGE>
directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive
compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-
dealer and/or the purchasers of any such New Notes. Any broker-dealer that
resells New Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the
Exchange Offer and any broker-dealer that participates in a distribution of
such New Notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the
Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of New Notes and any
commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be
underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal
states that by acknowledging that it will deliver, and by delivering, a
prospectus as required, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is
an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.
For a period of 180 days from the date of this Prospectus, the Company will
send a reasonable number of additional copies of this Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests
such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company will pay all the
expenses incident to the Exchange Offer (which shall not include the expenses
of any holder in connection with resales of the New Notes). The Company has
agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers and the holders of the Notes
(including any broker-dealers participating in the Exchange Offer) against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters relating to the issuance of the New Notes will be
passed upon for the Company by Miles & Stockbridge, a Professional
Corporation, Baltimore, Maryland.
EXPERT
The consolidated balance sheets of UNC Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated statements of earnings, cash
flows, and changes in stockholders' equity for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1995 and the statements of earnings and cash flows
of certain of the hangar facilities (as described in Note 1 to the financial
statements "the Hangars") of AlliedSignal Engines-Hangar Operations, a
division of AlliedSignal Inc., for the six month period ended June 30, 1994
and the year ended December 31, 1993, included elsewhere in this registration
statement, have been included herein in reliance on the report of Coopers &
Lybrand L.L.P., independent accountants, given on the authority of that firm
as experts in accounting and auditing.
The consolidated financial statements of UNC Incorporated for the year ended
December 31, 1993, included in this Prospectus, have been included herein and
in the registration statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG Peat Marwick
LLP, independent certified public accountants, appearing elsewhere herein and
upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
Following discussions between KPMG Peat Marwick LLP and representatives of the
Company, the parties determined that KPMG Peat Marwick LLP 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 audit 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 LLP 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 LLP 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
96
<PAGE>
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.
The consolidated financial statements of Garrett Aviation Services and
subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and for the year ended December
31, 1995 and the period July 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994 appearing or
incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and Registration Statement have
been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, to the extent
indicated in their reports thereon also appearing elsewhere herein and in the
Registration Statement or incorporated by reference. Such consolidated
financial statements have been included herein or incorporated herein by
reference in reliance upon such reports given upon the authority of such firm
as experts in accounting and auditing.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
UNC Incorporated:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UNC
Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, cash flows and changes in
shareholders' equity for the years then ended. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements of UNC
Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and for the year then
ended, were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated February 9, 1994,
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UNC
Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

UNC INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Presentation. The accompanying financial statements include the
accounts of UNC Incorporated and its Subsidiaries ("the Company") after
elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.
(b) Long-Term Contracts. Revenues under fixed-price production contracts are
primarily recognized under the percentage-of-completion method and are
measured principally on a cost-to-cost basis. Cost estimates are reviewed
periodically as the work progresses, and adjustments are reflected in the
period in which revisions to such estimates are deemed necessary. Revenues
under fixed rate per hour service contracts are recognized as services are
performed based on actual hours incurred under the contracts. Performance
award fees incorporated in certain government contracts are recognized when
there is sufficient information to assess expected contract performance.
Provisions for estimated losses on contracts are recorded when identified.
(c) Inventories. Valuation of inventories is at the lower of cost or market,
utilizing the first-in, first-out and average cost methods.
(d) Depreciation and Amortization. The Company's property, plant and
equipment are depreciated and amortized over their estimated useful lives by
the straight-line method, using periods ranging from 10 to 30 years for
buildings and improvements and from 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment.
(e) Cost in Excess of Net Assets of Acquired Companies. The excess of
acquisition cost over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible
net assets of acquired companies at date of acquisition is amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods ranging from 10 to 40 years. The Company
assesses the recoverability of cost in excess of net assets of acquired
companies by determining whether the amortization of this intangible asset
over its remaining life can be recovered through estimated future undiscounted
operating cash flows. If it is not recoverable, the carrying value of the cost
in excess of net assets of acquired companies will be reduced by the estimated
shortfall of discounted cash flows.
(f) Pension Plans and Post-retirement Benefits. Substantially all non-union
employees of the Company are covered under defined contribution plans. The
cost of these plans is a fixed percentage of the participants' eligible
compensation. In addition, the Company provides benefits to a limited number
of active and retired employees under an unfunded contributory defined benefit
post retirement health care plan. Also, the Company participates in multi-
employer defined benefit pension plans for certain active and retired union
employees. The Company's policy is to fund these benefits in accordance with
the provisions of the collective bargaining agreements.
(g) Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method
whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary
differences and operating loss and credit carryforwards, and deferred tax
liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary
differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when it is "more likely than not" that some portion or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on
the date of enactment.
(h) Environmental Liabilities. The Company accrues environmental costs on an
undiscounted basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and
the amount can be reasonably estimated. To the extent such costs are covered
by U.S. government contracts, these costs are treated as contract cost and
recognized as incurred.
(i) Earnings Per Share. The calculation of earnings per share of common
stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, assuming
the exercise of stock options where the impact is dilutive. The weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the years 1995, 1994
and 1993 were 17,666,000, 17,474,000 and 17,356,000, respectively.
F-9
<PAGE>
UNC INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
(j) 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 reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. RESTRUCTURING
In the second quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a restructuring charge
of $58.7 million ($47 million after-tax) in connection with a strategic
program to reduce its cost structure and asset base in light of the continuing
depressed economic conditions in the aviation industry. The restructuring
charge consisted of a $21.8 million non-cash charge applicable to the
writedown of the estimated net realizable value of the assets, including $4.6
million of goodwill, associated with the sale and disposition of two business
units, the closing of a facility and the consolidation of two other plants,
and a $20.5 million provision for cost associated with the sale, closing and
consolidation of two business units and facilities, including severance and
related cost. The remaining $16.4 million restructuring charge consists of
non-cash charges of $3.0 million related to the writedown of the carrying
value of certain underutilized plant and equipment that were identified for
sale under the restructuring program and a $13.4 million writedown of the
carrying value of inventory that was identified for sale to third party
brokers and others under the restructuring program. The balance of the reserve
for future expenditures related to restructuring at December 31, 1995, was
$3.9 million.
3. ACQUISITIONS AND PROSPECTIVE ACQUISITION
On January 15, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Garrett Aviation
Services, a leading provider of aviation services in the business aviation
aftermarket. The purchase price is approximately $145 million which the
Company intends to finance through the issuance of $125 million of long-term
senior subordinated notes and $25 million of 8.5% cumulative convertible
Preferred Stock. In addition, borrowing under the Company's Revolving Senior
Bank Debt will be necessary to the extent the purchase price plus transaction
costs exceeds the amount of funds generated from the issuance of the notes and
Preferred Stock. The Company is currently in the process of soliciting the
holders of the 9 1/8% Senior Notes to amend certain covenants in order to
permit the borrowing of additional debt and amend the restrictions on the
payment of cash dividends to permit the payment of dividends on the Preferred
Stock. As of February 23, 1996, the Company received consent from the required
majority of note holders to amend the covenants. The acquisition is contingent
upon, among other things, receiving governmental approval under the Hart Scott
Rodino Act and financing on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. It is
anticipated that the acquisition will be completed in the latter part of April
1996. Under certain circumstances, if the acquisition is not ultimately
consummated, the Company may be required to pay a break-up fee of up to
potentially $5.0 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
During 1993, the Company acquired the entities described below, which were
accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations
of the acquired companies are included in the Company's statement of earnings
for the periods in which they were owned by the Company.
In April 1993, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
technology, and assumed certain liabilities of Artex Tool Corporation and
Stockton Enterprises (collectively "Artex") for $5.2 million which was funded
through a borrowing under the Company's revolving credit agreement. Artex is
engaged in the remanufacture and repair of aircraft engine gear box housings,
wheels and other aircraft and engine parts and accessories. Following its
acquisition this operation was renamed UNC Artex. Under the terms of the
purchase agreement, the Company may be required to make additional payments of
up to $1.2 million, contingent upon Artex achieving certain profit levels
during the three year period ending May 1, 1996. The excess of the purchase
price over the estimated fair value of the tangible and identifiable
intangible net assets acquired is amortized over a period of twenty-five years
using the straight-line method. Any future amounts earned under the terms of
this agreement will be recorded as additional cost in excess of net assets of
acquired companies.
In July 1993, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
technology, and assumed certain liabilities of Johnson Technology ("Johnson"),
a division of Freedom Forge Corporation for $14.5 million in cash and $4
million in notes, payable in annual installments through July 1997. The cash
portion of the purchase price was funded from proceeds received from the sale
of 9 1/8% Senior Notes (see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). Johnson provides proprietary turbine nozzle and vane
manufacturing and repairs, and specialized non-conventional machining of super
alloys such as electro-chemical deep hole drilling, laser milling, and
electro-discharge machining. Following its acquisition, this operation was
renamed UNC Johnson Technology. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the
Company may be required to make additional payments contingent upon Johnson
achieving certain gross profit levels during a five year period ending in
September 1998 of up to $5 million of which $0.9 million was paid in 1995, and
$1.0 million in 1994. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair
value of the tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired is
amortized over a period of forty years using the straight-line method.
Contingent amounts earned under the terms of this agreement are recorded as
additional cost in excess of net assets of acquired companies.
In August 1993, the Company acquired the assets and technology and assumed
certain liabilities of All Fab, Inc. ("All Fab"), an aerostructure supplier
for a major airframe manufacturer. All Fab serves the aviation industry as a
manufacturer of major aircraft structural components and sheet metal sub-
assemblies. Following its acquisition, this operation was renamed UNC
Aerostructures, Washington. The purchase price consisted of $2.7 million in
cash and $3.1 million in notes. The notes consist of a $1.8 million note
bearing interest at 8% and a $1.3 million note bearing interest at the prime
rate plus one half of one percent, payable in variable installments through
December 1998. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value
of the tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired is amortized
over a period of forty years using the straight-line method.
In August 1993, the Company acquired substantially all the assets and
technology, and assumed certain liabilities of Metcalf Servicing Company
("Metcalf") for $4.5 million in cash and the Company elected to retire $1.3
million of bank indebtedness of Metcalf. Metcalf serves the industrial turbine
engine market with overhauls, parts repair and contract maintenance services.
Following its acquisition, this operation was renamed UNC Metcalf Servicing,
Inc. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the
tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired is amortized over a
period of twenty-five years using the straight-line method.
In October 1993, the Company acquired substantially all the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Lear Siegler Management Services Corp. ("Lear
Siegler"). Lear Siegler provides contract services for the operation,
maintenance and repair of aircraft, land vehicles and marine vehicles for the
U.S. Department of Defense and
F-11
<PAGE>

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
the armed services of foreign governments. Following its acquisition, this
operation was renamed UNC Lear Siegler. The purchase price was $17.4 million.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible
and identifiable intangible net assets acquired is amortized over a period of
twenty-five years using the straight-line method.
Under the terms of the earn-out provisions of agreements related to
acquisitions prior to 1993, the Company paid $3.7 million in 1994, and $3.7
million in 1993. The earn-out provisions under these agreements have expired.
4. CONTRACTS IN PROGRESS
Unbilled costs and accrued profits on production contracts in progress
consist of the following:

</TABLE>
Amounts billed under contracts in progress and included in accounts
receivable at December 31, 1995 were $3.1 million under U.S. government prime
and subcontracts and $2.4 million under commercial contracts. At December 31,
1994 these amounts were $3.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
Also, included in accounts receivable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were
other amounts due from the U.S. government totaling $37.7 million and $42.2
million, respectively, including unbilled amounts of $14.9 million and $18.3
million in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Unbilled amounts are recoverable from the customer upon shipment of the
product, presentation of bills or completion of the contract. The Company
believes that a substantial portion (approximately 80%) of these unbilled
amounts will be collected in 1996.
Included in accounts receivable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 is $2.0
million of cost applicable to a $3.2 million claim for equitable adjustment
filed by the Company under a contract with the U.S. government. The claim,
which includes direct costs, overhead, general and administrative costs and
profit, arises from constructive change orders on the part of the government,
defective specifications, government caused delays and other issues in
connection with a contract to provide aircraft nozzle segment assemblies to
the U.S. Air Force. The Company has been advised by outside legal counsel that
a basis for entitlement exists and that recovery of the recorded amount of the
claim is probable.
Also included in accounts receivable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 is a
claim for $630,000 which the Company believes was improperly withheld by the
U.S. government in connection with a contract to provide aircraft intermediate
level maintenance, repair and overhaul services at six Naval Air Stations. The
claim arises from the U.S. government unilaterally imposing a previously
undisclosed conversion formula to the determination of the amount earned,
contrary to contract terms. In December 1993, the Company received a
F-12
<PAGE>
UNC INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
favorable ruling on the claim from the Armed Services Board of Contract
Appeals which overturned the government's previous position and instructed the
government to reconsider the matter. The Company believes it will prevail in
realizing the amount of the claim that has been recorded in accordance with
the terms of the contract.
5. INVENTORIES

6. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Assets held for sale, which are stated at their estimated net realizable
value, consist principally of real estate and improvements and inventories of
the Company's former JT8 engine overhaul business that was closed in 1994, and
certain other inventory and underutilized property and equipment that has been
identified for sale under the Company's restructuring program. Also included
in assets held for sale is real estate of the Company's discontinued minerals
business. The Company expects to recover the recorded value of these assets
over the next three years.

In May 1995, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement which
provides for a five year credit line through May 2000 with a borrowing
capacity of up to $90 million, subject to borrowing base limitations as
defined in the agreement and reduced by outstanding letters of credit. The
Company's unused availability under the credit line was $33.0 million at
December 31, 1995. Interest is payable on the borrowings at a base rate, as
defined in the agreement, or the LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable
margin based
F-13
<PAGE>
UNC INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
upon the Company's performance under certain financial ratios. The interest
rate at December 31, 1995, was 8.71%. The Company has agreed to pay an annual
commitment fee on the unused portion of the line at rates ranging from 1/2 of
1% to 1/4 of 1% dependent on meeting certain financial ratios. The revolving
credit is collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable and inventories.
The agreement contains covenants which, among other things, include provisions
for the maintenance of certain financial ratios and prohibits the payment of
cash dividends, except for cash dividends paid in connection with the senior
cumulative convertible preferred stock to be issued under the October 1995
agreement with Gildea Investment Company. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
On July 29, 1993 the Company issued $100.0 million of 9 1/8% Senior Notes
due July 15, 2003. The Notes are redeemable, at the option of the Company, on
or after July 15, 1998 at declining premiums through 2000 and at their
principal amount thereafter. The debt indenture contains certain covenants
which, among other things, allow additional borrowings based on certain
financial ratios and restrict the payment of cash dividends. In connection
with the proposed acquisition of Garrett Aviation Services, the Company is in
the process of soliciting current note holders to amend certain covenants in
order to permit additional borrowings and amend the restrictions on the
payment of cash dividends. As of February 23, 1996, the Company received
consent from the required majority of note holders to amend the covenants.
The 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2006 are convertible into
shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $15.40 per share
and are redeemable (subject to certain restrictions) at the option of the
Company at declining premiums through 1996 and at the principal amount
thereafter. Annual sinking fund payments of $4.2 million commence in March
1996. During 1995 the Company purchased approximately $3.6 million face amount
of debentures to satisfy, in part, the March 1996 sinking fund payment. In
January 1996, the Company purchased in the open market an additional $0.6
million of the 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures to satisfy the
balance of the 1996 sinking fund requirement.
Included in other assets at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, was
approximately $3.5 million and $3.9 million of unamortized issue costs
incurred in connection with the issuance of the 9 1/8% Senior Notes and the 7
1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures.
Annual maturities of long-term debt during the next five years are
$1,748,000 in 1996, $5,317,000 in 1997, $4,317,000 in 1998, $4,318,000 in 1999
and $41,381,000 in 2000.
The estimated fair values of the 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures,
and the 9 1/8% Senior Notes, based on quoted market prices, were approximately
$58.2 million and $98.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 1995 and $53.2
million and $89.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 1994. The Company
believes that the carrying value of its remaining debt, which consists
principally of revolving credit, approximates market value based on interest
rates that are available to the Company for the issuance of debt with similar
term and maturities.

The Company discontinued its minerals and offshore products and services
operations in 1984, its telecommunications operation in 1988 and its submarine
propulsion unit manufacturing operation and its environmental services
operation in 1990. In connection with these actions, the Company has
approximately $15.7 million, $12.6 million included in noncurrent liabilities,
accrued to cover the cost of certain long-term remediation activities, wind
down and final closure of certain long-term U.S. government contracts,
resolution of certain litigation and disposition of remaining properties. The
Company anticipates that these activities will be completed over the next
three years.
9. PREFERRED STOCK
In October 1995, the Company reached an agreement with Gildea Investment
Company ("Gildea") and other investors to provide up to $25 million of equity
financing on an as needed basis to assist in financing future acquisitions.
The equity investment will be in the form of a senior cumulative convertible
preferred stock ("the Preferred") issued by the Company. The Preferred will be
purchased at $100 per share with a cumulative annual dividend rate of 8.5%,
with no mandatory redemption, and will be convertible into common stock at a
price of $7 per share. The Company will have the option to pay dividends in
cash or in the form of a pay-in-kind cumulative preferred stock. Gildea has
the option to invest $10 million if a like amount of Preferred has not been
issued by the Company by April 4, 1996.
10. PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS
On September 25, 1987, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
dividend of one Preferred Share Purchase Right for each share of common stock
outstanding on October 19, 1987. Each Right entitles the holder to acquire one
one-hundredth of a share of newly created Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $50 per one one-hundredth of a
Preferred Share. The Rights trade with the common stock and are not
exercisable or transferable apart from the common stock until 10 days after a
person or group acquires, or announces a tender offer for 20% or more of the
Company's outstanding common stock.
If the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination, each
Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right's then-current
exercise price, a number of the acquiring company's shares having a market
value at that time of twice the Right's exercise price. In addition, if
someone acquires 20% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, each
Right will entitle its holder (other than the acquiring person) to purchase,
at the Right's then-current exercise price, a number of the Company's common
shares having a market value of twice the Right's exercise price.
F-15
<PAGE>
UNC INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Prior to the acquisition by someone of beneficial ownership of 20% or more
of the Company's common stock, the Rights are redeemable for $.01 per Right
either at the option of the Board of Directors or automatically in connection
with the consummation of any tender offer at a cash price per share equal to
or greater than the price approved by stockholders at a special meeting which
would be called under certain circumstances in accordance with procedures
contained in the Rights Plan. The Rights expire on October 19, 1997.
11. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
Since 1985 the former Western Union has been seeking recoupment (the
"Claim") from various providers of international telex services ("ITPs") for
interconnect charges with respect to the use of Western Union's domestic telex
network during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Among these ITPs was TRT
Communications, Inc. ("TRT"), which the Company had acquired in September
1985. As part of the Company's acquisition of TRT, the Company had received
certain representations and warranties from the seller of TRT with respect to
the Claims. In January 1995, nearly seven years after a 1988 remand from the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (the "Appeals Court"),
which had vacated an earlier determination by the FCC with respect to the
Claims, the FCC determined that the Claims were appropriate. The FCC's
determination was again appealed to the Appeals Court which on February 6,
1996 rendered a judgment upholding the FCC's determination with respect to
these matters. As a result, TRT may be liable to the former Western Union for
Claims and interest of approximately $5.0 million. However, the Company sold
its interest in TRT in 1988 and, in connection therewith, the Company provided
the purchaser with certain specific indemnities. The Company has been informed
that its purchaser has in turn sold TRT to a third party with whom the Company
has no contract for indemnity. As a consequence, the Company does not believe
that it has any indemnity liability to the current owner of TRT. The Company
intends to seek a rehearing by the Appeals Court, to assert a protective claim
against the seller of TRT, and to reject any claim by the current owner of
TRT. Both the Company and its outside legal counsel believe the Company has
meritorious defenses against any claim under its indemnification agreement.
Lockheed-Martin Corporation ("Lockheed") began an action in United States
District Court of the Central District of California under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") in
August 1994. In that action, Lockheed seeks to have owners and operators of
property situated above the San Fernando Valley aquifer contribute to the
costs incurred or to be incurred by Lockheed to clean up contaminated
groundwater constituting the aquifer. A subsidiary of the Company, Pacific
Airmotive Corporation ("PAC"), was made one of the defendants in the action.
The Company and a second subsidiary, Airwork Corporation, were added as
defendants in December 1995. Based on several series of soil tests conducted
on PAC's property and consultants' reports since approximately 1989, the
Company concluded, and continues to conclude, that there is no demonstration
that contaminants of concern identified in the groundwater by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency have been transmitted from the surface of
PAC's property to the underlying groundwater approximately 200 feet below
ground surface. PAC is also pursuing alternative remedies against Purex
Industries, Inc. which owned and operated the property prior to 1985. The
Company and Airwork have filed motions to dismiss the action as to them on the
ground, among others, that they did not own or operate PAC's property, or
control PAC's operations. The Company is not able to determine whether it or a
subsidiary of the Company will be held liable as a result of the Lockheed
action, or to establish a range of loss.
The Company during 1995 was involved in litigation with respect to a
promissory note issued by the Company in July 1981 in connection with the
acquisition of Normco Contractors, Inc. ("Normco"), a former subsidiary of the
Company that was discontinued in 1984 and sold in 1985. The plaintiff, a
former owner of Normco, brought action to obtain payment of $2.2 million
allegedly due under the note. The Company did not make payment on the note
because the Company believed that, under the terms of the note and the related
purchase agreement, payment was contingent upon Normco attaining certain
operating profit levels that were not

achieved. The plaintiff's motion for summary judgment was granted in March
1992. However, in July 1993 the appellate court reversed and remanded the case
for trial. Following trial in April 1994, a jury verdict was rendered in
plaintiff's favor for the amount of the note plus interest and attorney's
fees. The Company appealed the verdict on the grounds of prejudicial conduct
by the trial judge as well as on legal grounds that were essentially the same
as those argued in its previous successful appeal. The Appellate Court ruled
in favor of the plaintiff, and the Company paid the judgment of approximately
$3.5 million in October 1995. The Company is currently evaluating seeking
recovery of all or part of the judgment from the legal firm that represented
the Company in the 1981 acquisition of Normco.
In June 1995, the Company sold its chemical milled aircraft and engine
component business located in Weatherford, Texas, Chemical Dynamics, Inc., to
the former owner of the business. Under the terms of the agreement, the
purchaser assumed, among other things, all known environmental risks related
to the operation of the business.
The Company and a subsidiary, UNC Airwork Corporation, are defendants in
litigation commenced in New York by Energy Services, Inc. ("ESI") seeking $3.4
million in alleged contract damages relating to a proposal to provide and
install electrical generating and other related equipment for a third party.
The Company and Airwork believe they have meritorious defenses to ESI's
claims. Airwork has filed a counterclaim against ESI and an affiliate, Energy
Maintenance Corporation ("EMC") for more than $3.7 million. In December 1994,
the trial court granted Airwork's motion for partial summary judgment against
EMC, on a separate claim, in the amount of $458,000. The trial court
subsequently awarded $1.5 million of ESI's claims against the Company and
Airwork on a theory of unjust enrichment, based apparently on the opinion that
the Company, Airwork and ESI in 1992 were implementing an agreement between
Airwork and ESI's affiliate dated August 19, 1991. The Company and Airwork are
preparing for trial on Airwork's claim for more than $3.7 million, and will
appeal the trial court's award to ESI. The Company believes it is probable
that ESI and an affiliate will be found liable for Airwork's remaining claims,
and that any recovery against the Company and Airwork is not predictable.
During 1993, the State of New Mexico passed the New Mexico Mining Act
("Act"), which imposes certain reclamation obligations on owners and operators
of existing and new mining operations. The State has asserted that a number of
mines operated by the Company's subsidiary, United Nuclear Corporation
("United Nuclear"), at various times during the period 1970 through 1982 may
be covered by the Act. Regulations for compliance with the Act were issued in
1994. However, the regulations did not clarify the extent to which mines
previously operated by United Nuclear may be covered by the Act. Consequently,
it is impossible to estimate the cost of remediation or the timing and extent
of remedial action that may be required. The Company has been advised by
outside counsel that United Nuclear's defenses have merit, and it is
contesting the State's assertions.
A uranium mill and mill tailings facility of a subsidiary of the Company,
United Nuclear, located in Church Rock, New Mexico was placed on the National
Priorities List by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") in 1982,
pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"). EPA issued an Administrative Order in 1989
requiring remediation of ground water on or adjacent to the site that is the
same as those contained in the reclamation plan submitted to the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission ("NRC") in 1988 by United Nuclear in accordance with its
license with the NRC. United Nuclear has been remediating the site in
accordance with the Administrative Order and the NRC license and has incurred
cost for such remediation of $2.1 million, $2.2 million and $1.7 million in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company has accrued approximately $4.0
million in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the balance of
remediation required under the approved reclamation plan.
The Company's former Naval Products Division has been named under CERCLA,
along with a number of other parties, as a Potentially Responsible Party at
several waste disposal sites. In each case, the Division has
F-17

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
been named as a de minimus party. The Company believes that any cost,
estimated to be less than a total of $100,000, that may be assessed to the
Division is recoverable under its U.S. government contracts.
The Company and its subsidiaries are also parties to various other legal
actions and administrative proceedings and subject to various claims arising
in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the disposition
of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
12. INCOME TAXES
During 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), "Accounting for Income
Taxes" which supersedes SFAS No. 96. Similar to SFAS No. 96, SFAS No. 109
retains an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. This
standard also requires recognition of income tax benefits for loss
carryforwards, credit carryforwards and certain temporary differences for
which tax benefits have not previously been recorded. The tax benefits
recognized must be reduced by a valuation allowance where it is more likely
than not that the benefits may not be realized. The Company adopted SFAS No.
109 as of January 1, 1993. There was no cumulative effect of this change in
accounting for income taxes on the consolidated financial statements.
The income tax provision for continuing operations consists of the

The decrease in the deferred tax valuation allowance of $1,331,000 in 1995
was due to the realization of current income tax benefits resulting from the
reversal of temporary differences against financial statement income. The
increase in the deferred tax valuation allowance of $13,692,000 in 1994 was
due to the uncertainty of realizing the tax benefits from net operating losses
and certain tax assets generated by the 1994 restructuring provisions, the
provision for the withdrawal from a multi-employer pension plan and other one-
time charges. The net change in the valuation allowance in 1993 was a decrease
of $10,070,000 of which $2,451,000 resulted from the realization of tax
benefits of temporary differences which reversed during the year and
$7,619,000 resulted from the Company's re-evaluation of the realizability of
future income tax benefit occasioned by various events, including the
acquisition of four businesses which resulted in an adjustment to goodwill of
$1,829,000, the awarding of approximately $227,000,000 in new contracts and
the decision to withdraw from the unprofitable third-party JT8 engine overhaul
product line. The amount of deferred tax valuation allowance is determined
based upon management's evaluation of the net realizability of the future
income tax benefits, considering expiration of net operating losses,
predictability of future income, including the impact of the Company's
restructuring program, and the timing of reversal of temporary differences.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, other current assets include net deferred tax
assets of approximately $5.7 million and $3.2 million and other noncurrent
assets include net deferred tax assets of approximately $16.9 million and
$21.7 million, respectively. Also, at December 31, 1995 and 1994, current
liabilities include income taxes payable of $1.4 million and $3.5 million,
respectively.
At December 31, 1995, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
$34,621,000 for income tax reporting purposes of which $8,727,000 expire in
2008, $19,576,000 expire in 2009, and $6,318,000 expire in 2010. The Company
also has net operating loss carryforwards of $29,602,000 available for
purposes of federal

alternative minimum tax of which $1,454,000 expire in 2008, $22,777,000 expire
in 2009 and $5,371,000 expire in 2010. At December 31, 1995, the Company has
alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1,730,000 which
are available to reduce future Federal regular income taxes over an indefinite
period.
In connection with an examination of the Company's federal income tax
returns for the years 1990 through 1992, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
has proposed certain tax adjustments that could result in an additional tax
liability. The Company disagrees with a large majority of the proposed
adjustments and has asserted certain offsetting tax adjustments in its favor.
The Company has filed a written protest challenging the proposed adjustments
and supporting its right to the offsetting adjustments. Management and its tax
counsel are of the opinion that the issues making up most of the additional
tax liability proposed by the IRS are either not factually or legally
supportable and that the Company's offsetting adjustments are meritorious. In
addition, management is of the opinion that any additional net tax liability
that might ultimately result from the IRS audit would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of
operation or liquidity.
13. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company has stock plans, approved by the shareholders, which provide for
the granting of options and restricted stock to officers and key employees.
Options are granted at no less than fair market value on the date of grant,
become exercisable in increments, in some instances partially conditioned on
the attainment of specific performance objectives, and expire between six and
ten years from the date of grant.
The 1990 Stock Option Plan for Key Employees reserved 1,125,000 shares of
common stock, either previously unissued shares or shares held in treasury,
for issuance upon the exercise of options or as stock appreciation rights or
as restricted stock awards. The exercise of an option is conditioned upon the
holder, (i) purchasing at fair market value, within ninety days of the grant,
stock equal to twenty-five percent of the number of options granted, and (ii)
continuing as beneficial owner of all such stock through the time of exercise.
Options are granted at no less than fair market value on the date of grant,
expire in ten years and vest in five annual installments of twenty percent
each January 1 following the date of grant. The 1985 stock plan for Key
Employees terminated as of December 31, 1994, and no further options will be
granted under that plan. However, 677,820 options remain outstanding and will
be exercisable in future years in accordance with the terms of the plan.
As of December 31, 1995, officers and employees eligible under the 1985 and
1990 plans have purchased 234,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the
open market in order to qualify under the terms of these plans and held
outstanding options to purchase an additional 1,597,862 shares.
A summary of certain plan information related to stock options is as

14. PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company sponsors defined contribution plans that cover substantially all
of its employees. Contributions are based upon a percentage of the employee's
compensation. The cost of these plans was $6,273,000, $4,552,000 and
$3,354,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
A defined benefit plan is also maintained for a limited number of former
union personnel of an overhaul facility that the Company closed in 1994. The
cost of this plan was $98,000 in 1995, $81,000 in 1994 and $193,000 in 1993.
In connection with the restructuring program in the second quarter of 1994,
the Company recorded a curtailment loss of $460,000 as a result of the closing
of this facility and the termination of the employees who were covered under
this defined benefit plan. The projected benefit obligation and the fair value
of plan assets at December 31, 1995 were $1,568,000 and $985,000,
respectively. The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the
actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation was 7.25% in 1995.
The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 7.25% in 1995. Plan assets
consist principally of investments in commercial paper, marketable securities,
certificates of deposit and U.S. government obligations.
A subsidiary of the Company, UNC Airwork Corporation ("Airwork"), has been a
participating employer in a multi-employer pension plan covering its hourly
employees who are members of United Auto Workers ("UAW") Local 2315. The plan
is administered by trustees appointed by the UAW. Through December 1994,
Airwork has made contributions under the plan on the basis of a portion of its
hourly payroll based on collective bargaining, and has expensed such
contributions on a current basis. The Company's contribution to the plan, as
required by the union contract, was $383,000 in 1994, and $313,000 in 1993.
The Company has not made any payments to the plan in 1995 because it withdrew
from the plan in January 1995.
During 1994, the plan's trustees informed participating employers that the
plan's obligations were substantially underfunded, that funding deficiencies
were incurred in the previous three plan years, and that a substantial
increase in employer contributions would be required. This underfunded status
of the plan is not a result of Airwork not meeting its contractual
obligations, as Airwork has consistently complied with its funding
responsibilities in accordance with the terms of the collective bargaining
agreement. On January 31, 1995, the UAW provided participating employers with
an amendment to their respective collective bargaining agreements that would
have the effect of terminating the plan as to each employer entering into such
an amendment and, by doing so, withdrawing from the plan. Airwork entered into
such an amendment, recognizing that participating employers not withdrawing
from the plan would be liable for underfunding on an ongoing basis, that under
the circumstances most employers would withdraw from the plan, and that, as
probably the largest participating employer, Airwork's liability could be
substantial. As a result of the UAW's action, and confirming Airwork's
expectations, employers representing approximately 95% of the plan
participants withdrew from the plan on January 31, 1995.
Under the rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
regarding multi-employer plans, all employers who participate in an
underfunded multi-employer plan and withdraw are assessed a withdrawal
liability. Payment of the withdrawal liability is made over future years while
annual funding deficiencies, if not waived by the IRS, would be paid at the
time the waiver is denied. As a result of its withdrawal from the plan,
Airwork recognized as a non-recurring expense in 1994 of its portion of the
plan's unfunded liabilities and annual funding deficiencies which it estimated
to be approximately $14.0 million. The Company is currently negotiating with
the Plan Trustees regarding annual funding payments to the plan for the
withdrawal liability and anticipates payments in an undetermined amount will
begin in 1996.
The Company also contributes to other multi-employer plans that cover
approximately 566 employees. The cost of these plans was $630,000, $591,000
and $816,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

The Company has non-qualified unfunded supplemental executive retirement
plans covering certain officers and directors for which the Company has
purchased cost recovery life insurance. The Company is the sole owner and
beneficiary of such policies. The amount of coverage is designed to provide
sufficient revenues to recover substantially all costs of the plans if the
assumptions made regarding mortality experience, policy earnings and other
factors are realized. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994 the projected benefit
obligation was $16,231,000 and $12,972,000, respectively, and the accumulated
benefit obligation was $15,883,000 and $12,640,000, respectively, which is
included in other noncurrent liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.
The cost of these plans was $2,095,000, $2,280,000 and $1,232,000 for 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. The discount rate used in determining the pension
liabilities was 7.25% at December 31, 1995 and 8% at December 31, 1994. At
December 31, 1995, the additional minimum liability exceeded the unamortized
transition amount by $1,801,000, net of deferred income taxes. At December 31,
1994, the additional minimum liability exceeded the unamortized transition
amount by $540,000, net of deferred income taxes. These amounts have been
reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as reductions in
stockholders' equity at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
Post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits are provided to a
limited number of participating employees who become eligible for benefits
after reaching normal retirement age while employed by the Company. The plan,
which is an unfunded contributory defined benefit plan, covers approximately
3% of the Company's employees. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted
the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
106, "Employers' Accounting for Post-retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."
SFAS No. 106 requires the Company to accrue the estimated cost of such retiree
benefits payments, other than pensions, during the employee's active service
period. The Company previously expensed the cost of these benefits as claims
were paid. The Company is amortizing the unrecognized net loss and
unrecognized transition obligation over 20 years.
The actuarial and recorded liabilities for the post-retirement health care
and life insurance benefits at December 31, were as follows:

The net periodic post-retirement benefit cost for 1995 was $350,000 and
included $112,000 of service cost, $152,000 of interest and $86,000
amortization of the transition obligation. The cost for 1994 was $360,000 and
included $76,000 of service costs, $172,000 of interest and $112,000
amortization of the transition obligation.
For measurement purposes, a 7.25% and an 8% discount rate was used in
determining the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Also, a 10% annual rate of increase in the
per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 1995; the rate
was assumed to decrease gradually to 6% for 2002 and remain at that level
thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant
effect on the amounts reported. A 1% increase in the assumed health care cost
trend rates would increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation
as of December 31, 1995 by approximately $202,000

and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic
post-retirement benefit cost for the year then ended by approximately $24,000.
The Company also contributes in accordance with a union agreement to a
multi-employer health benefit plan. The cost of this plan was $2,592,000,
$1,865,000 and $959,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
15. LEASES
In December 1994 the Company sold a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 aircraft
which had previously been covered under a leveraged lease. The net proceeds
received of $6.8 million approximated the Company's investment in the lease.
Income from the leveraged lease in 1994 and 1993 was $2.6 million and $1.3
million, respectively ($1.5 million and $0.8 million net of income taxes in
1994 and 1993, respectively).
The Company entered into several agreements for the sale and leaseback of
certain equipment which resulted in gains totaling approximately $2.6 million

19. GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES
In July 1993, the Company issued $100 million principal amount of 9 1/8%
Senior Notes due 2003 (see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). The notes are guaranteed by all of the Company's domestic wholly-
owned operating subsidiaries in the manner described below. The combined
guarantors are jointly and severally liable under the subsidiary guarantees.
The Company's obligations under the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by
each of the Company's domestic wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (the
"Guarantees"). Each Guarantee is a senior unsecured obligation of the
subsidiary providing such Guarantee and ranks pari passu with all senior
unsecured indebtedness of such subsidiary. The domestic wholly-owned operating
subsidiaries also have guaranteed the indebtedness outstanding under the
Company's revolving credit facility (the "Subsidiary Bank Guarantees").
F-24
<PAGE>
UNC INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONCLUDED)
The Subsidiary Bank Guarantees are collateralized, in general, by the accounts
receivable and inventory of the subsidiaries and therefore effectively rank
senior to the Guarantees. The Guarantees are in effect only for as long as the
Subsidiary Bank Guarantees remain in effect. If the Guarantees are terminated
the Notes will be obligations solely of the Company and will be effectively
subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of the subsidiaries.
The following condensed consolidating information presents:
(1) Condensed financial statements as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 of (a) the
Company on a parent company only basis (Parent Company), (b) the
Combined Guarantors, and (c) the Company on a consolidated basis.
(2) The Parent Company with its investments in subsidiaries accounted
for on the equity method.
(3) Elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent Company and
its subsidiaries.

1. The accompanying financial statements, which should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual
Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, are unaudited.
The statements have been prepared in the ordinary course of business for the
purpose of providing information with respect to the interim periods, and are
subject to audit at the close of the year. It is the opinion of the management
of the Company that all adjustments (none of which were other than normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of such periods have
been included. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the full year.

3. Net sales of tangible products in the six month period ended June 30,
1996 amounted to $210.7 million and cost and operating expenses related to
tangible goods sold amounted to $171.7 million.
4. On May 30, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
certain liabilities of Garrett Aviation Services ("Garrett"), a leading
provider of aviation services in the business aviation aftermarket. The
purchase price of approximately $145 million was paid in cash. The financing
of the acquisition was accomplished through the issuance of $125 million in
11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 and $25 million in Convertible 8.5%
Preferred Stock. In addition, borrowings were made under the Company's
Revolving Senior Bank Debt for various transaction costs which exceeded the
amount of funds generated from the issuance of the notes and Preferred Stock.
The Acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase, and the purchase price
will be allocated to the assets and liabilities of Garrett based on their fair
values. The assets and liabilities of Garrett are included in the consolidated
balance sheet at June 30, 1996 at values reflecting preliminary allocation of
the purchase price. The final allocation of the purchase price is subject to
final determination based on valuations and other studies currently being
performed by the Company. The excess of the preliminary allocation of the
purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is
being amortized over a period of thirty years using the straight line method.
Also in connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 213,500 shares of
its treasury stock to certain Garrett executives it employed following the
closing at a purchase price of $5.75 per share, the closing price on the date
the purchase agreement was executed.
5. On May 30, 1996 in connection with the financing of the acquisition of
Garrett, the Company issued $25 million in Convertible 8.5% Preferred Stock
and $125 million in principal amount of 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2006. The Series B Preferred Stock was issued at $100 per share with an annual
cumulative dividend rate of 8.5%, with no mandatory redemption, and will be
convertible to common stock at a price of $7 per share. The Company will have
the option to pay dividends in the form of a pay-in-kind Series C Cumulative
Preferred Stock. The 11% Senior Subordinated Notes are redeemable on or after
June 1, 2001 at the option of the Company at declining premiums through 2003
and at principal amount thereafter.
6. Since 1985 the former Western Union has been seeking recoupment (the
"Claim") from various providers of international telex services ("ITPs") for
interconnect charges with respect to the use of Western Union's domestic telex
network during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Among these ITPs was TRT
Communications, Inc. ("TRT"), which the Company had acquired in September
1985. As part of the Company's
F-37
<PAGE>
UNC INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
acquisition of TRT, the Company had received certain representations and
warranties from the seller of TRT with respect to the Claims. In January 1995,
nearly seven years after a 1988 remand from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia (the "Appeals Court"), which had vacated an earlier
determination by the FCC with respect to the Claims, the FCC determined that
the Claims were appropriate. The FCC's determination was again appealed to the
Appeals Court which on February 6, 1996 rendered a judgment upholding the
FCC's determination with respect to these matters. As a result, TRT may be
liable to the former Western Union for Claims and interest of approximately
$5.0 million. However, the Company sold its interest in TRT in 1988 and, in
connection therewith, the Company provided the purchaser with certain specific
indemnities. The Company has been informed that its purchaser has in turn sold
TRT to a third party with whom the Company has no contract for indemnity. As a
consequence, the Company does not believe that it has any indemnity liability
to the current owner of TRT. The Company sought a rehearing by the Appeals
Court, to assert a protective claim against the seller of TRT, and to reject
any claim by the current owner of TRT. Appeals Court denied the Company's
petition for rehearing and reconsideration on April 11, 1996. The proceeding
is presently before the FCC for further determination. On April 12, 1996, the
Company filed a declaratory judgement action in Delaware seeking a judicial
determination that the Company is not required to indemnify its purchaser for
any amount for which TRT may be liable to the former Western Union. The case
is in the discovery phase, and a trial date has been initially scheduled in
June 1997. Both the Company and its outside legal counsel believe the Company
has meritorious defenses against any claim under its indemnification
agreement.
Lockheed-Martin Corporation ("Lockheed") began an action in United States
District Court of the Central District of California under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") in
August 1994. In that action, Lockheed seeks to have owners and operators of
property situated above the San Fernando Valley aquifer contribute to the
costs incurred or to be incurred by Lockheed to clean up contaminated
groundwater constituting the aquifer. A subsidiary of the Company, Pacific
Airmotive Corporation ("PAC"), was made one of the defendants in the action.
The Company and a second subsidiary, Airwork Corporation, were added as
defendants in December 1995. Based on several series of soil tests conducted
on PAC's property and consultants' reports since approximately 1989, the
Company concluded, and continues to conclude, that there is no demonstration
that contaminants of concern identified in the groundwater by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency have been transmitted from the surface of
PAC's property to the underlying groundwater approximately 200 feet below
ground surface. PAC is also pursuing alternative remedies against Purex
Industries, Inc. which owned and operated the property prior to 1985. The
Company and Airwork have filed motions to dismiss the action as to them on the
ground, among others, that they did not own or operate PAC's property, or
control PAC's operations. These motions to dismiss the Lockheed action filed
by the Company and Airwork were denied. Whether, as alleged by Lockheed, the
Company and Airwork owned or operated PAC's property, or controlled its
operations, and whether the Company is subject to jurisdiction in California,
remain issues for trial in the Lockheed case. Trial of the case is currently
scheduled for early August 1996. The Company is not able to determine whether
it or a subsidiary of the Company will be held liable as a result of the
Lockheed action, or to establish a range of loss.
The Company during 1995 was involved in litigation with respect to a
promissory note issued by the Company in July 1981 in connection with the
acquisition of Normco Contractors, Inc. ("Normco"), a former subsidiary of the
Company that was discontinued in 1984 and sold in 1985. The plaintiff, a
former owner of Normco, brought action to obtain payment of $2.2 million
allegedly due under the note. The Company did not make payment on the note
because the Company believed that, under the terms of the note and the related
purchase agreement, payment was contingent upon Normco attaining certain
operating profit levels that were not achieved. The plaintiff's motion for
summary judgment was granted in March 1992. However, in July 1993 the
appellate court reversed and remanded the case for trial. Following trial in
April 1994, a jury verdict was rendered in plaintiff's favor for the amount of
the note plus interest and attorney's fees. The Company appealed
F-38
<PAGE>
UNC INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
the verdict on the grounds of prejudicial conduct by the trial judge as well
as on legal grounds that were essentially the same as those argued in its
previous successful appeal. The Appellate Court ruled in favor of the
plaintiff, and the Company paid the judgment of approximately $3.5 million in
October 1995. The Company is currently evaluating seeking recovery of all or
part of the judgment from the legal firm that represented the Company in the
1981 acquisition of Normco.
The Company and a subsidiary, UNC Airwork Corporation, are defendants in
litigation commenced in New York by Energy Services, Inc. ("ESI") seeking $3.4
million in alleged contract damages relating to a proposal to provide and
install electrical generating and other related equipment for a third party.
The Company and Airwork believe they have meritorious defenses to ESI's
claims. Airwork has filed a counterclaim against ESI and an affiliate, Energy
Maintenance Corporation ("EMC") for more than $3.7 million. In December 1994,
the trial court granted Airwork's motion for partial summary judgment against
EMC, on a separate claim, in the amount of $458,000. The trial court
subsequently awarded $1.5 million of ESI's claims against the Company and
Airwork on a theory of unjust enrichment, based apparently on the opinion that
the Company, Airwork and ESI in 1992 were implementing an agreement between
Airwork and ESI's affiliate dated August 19, 1991. The Company and Airwork are
preparing for trial on Airwork's claim for more than $3.7 million, and will
appeal the trial court's award to ESI. The Company believes it is probable
that ESI and an affiliate will be found liable for Airwork's remaining claims,
and that any recovery against the Company and Airwork is not predictable.
During 1993, the State of New Mexico passed the New Mexico Mining Act
("Act"), which imposes certain reclamation obligations on owners and operators
of existing and new mining operations. The State has asserted that a number of
mines operated by the Company's subsidiary, United Nuclear Corporation
("United Nuclear"), at various times during the period 1970 through 1982 may
be covered by the Act. Regulations for compliance with the Act were issued in
1994. However, the regulations did not clarify the extent to which mines
previously operated by United Nuclear may be covered by the Act. The New
Mexico Mining Commission has ruled that three mines are covered by the
regulations, and United Nuclear is preparing to appeal that ruling to the
State courts. Consequently, it is impossible to estimate the cost of
reclamation or the timing and extent of reclamation that may be required. The
Company has been advised by outside counsel that United Nuclear's defenses
have merit, and it is contesting the State's assertions.
A uranium mill and mill tailings facility of a subsidiary of the Company,
United Nuclear, located in Church Rock, New Mexico was placed on the National
Priorities List by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") in 1982,
pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"). EPA issued an Administrative Order in 1989
requiring remediation of ground water on or adjacent to the site that is the
same as those contained in the reclamation plan submitted to the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission ("NRC") in 1988 by United Nuclear in accordance with its
license with the NRC. United Nuclear has been remediating the site in
accordance with the Administrative Order and the NRC license and has incurred
cost for such remediation of $0.6 million and $0.9 million in 1996 and 1995,
respectively. It is anticipated, based on the approved reclamation plan, that
the cost of future remediation through 1997 will be approximately $3.4
million. Such cost has been accrued as part of reserves established for the
discontinued operation.
The Company's former Naval Products Division has been named under CERCLA,
along with a number of other parties, as a Potentially Responsible Party at
several waste disposal sites. In each case, the Division has been named as a
de minimus party. The Company believes that any cost, estimated to be less
than a total of $100,000, that may be assessed to the Division is recoverable
under its U.S. government contracts.

(UNAUDITED)
The Company and its subsidiaries are also parties to various other legal
actions and administrative proceedings and subject to various claims arising
in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the disposition
of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
7. In July 1993, the Company issued $100 million principal amount of 9 1/8%
Senior Notes due 2003. The notes are guaranteed by the Company's domestic
operating subsidiaries in the manner described below. The combined guarantors
are jointly and severally liable under the subsidiary guarantees.
The Company's obligations under the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by
each of the Company's domestic operating subsidiaries (the "Guarantees"). Each
Guarantee is a senior unsecured obligation of the domestic operating
subsidiary providing such Guarantee and ranks pari passu with all senior
unsecured indebtedness of such subsidiary. The domestic operating subsidiaries
also have guaranteed the indebtedness outstanding under the Company's
revolving credit facility (the "Subsidiary Bank Guarantees"). The Subsidiary
Bank Guarantees are collateralized, in general, by the accounts receivable and
inventory of the domestic operating subsidiaries and therefore effectively
rank senior to the Guarantees. The Guarantees are in effect only for as long
as the Subsidiary Bank Guarantees remain in effect. If the Guarantees are
terminated the Notes will be obligations solely of the Company and will be
effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of the
subsidiaries.
The following condensed consolidating information presents:
(1) Condensed financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and for the six

are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Garrett
Aviation Services at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results
of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Formation and Description of Operations
Garrett Aviation Services (Garrett) is the d.b.a. of a limited partnership
with the legal name of CFC Aviation Services, L.P. The partnership was formed
as of June 30, 1994 and began operations July 1, 1994 upon the acquisition of
certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of AlliedSignal
discussed in the "Acquisitions" footnote herein. Garrett is owned 99 percent
by CFC Aviation Holding, L.P. as the limited partner and 1 percent by CFC
Aviation, Inc. as the general partner.
Garrett provides turbine-powered airframe maintenance and related services,
technical support and turbine engine repair, overhaul and related services on
turbine engine products to general aviation operators and regional commercial
airlines. The services are provided at airport hangar locations throughout the
United States.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements include all accounts of Garrett and its 99 percent
owned subsidiary (see "Acquisitions" below) after elimination of all
significant intercompany transactions and balances.
Cash and Equivalents
Garrett maintains zero-balance accounts to maximize its cash flows through
its disbursement arrangements. At March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995 and 1994,
there was $19,208,000, $24,742,000, and $9,598,000, respectively, of checks
which had been drawn and are either being held by Garrett or have not yet been
presented for payment against Garrett's cash accounts. Such amounts are
included in accounts payable. Cash and equivalents include instruments with
remaining maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition and at
March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995 and 1994 included $15,400,000, $11,200,000,
and $7,200,000, respectively, that was invested in money market mutual funds
consisting of bank certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, bankers
acceptances, commercial paper and other short-term obligations. These
investments are stated at cost which approximates market.
Inventories
Materials inventory consists of purchased parts and is stated at the lower
of cost or market, with cost being determined on the average cost basis. Work-
in-process consists principally of maintenance and repair projects in process
and includes material, labor and related overhead. Consigned inventory of
engine parts is not reflected in the inventory balance of Garrett and is
purchased and immediately charged to cost of sales upon sale of the related
parts to the customer.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost, and depreciation is computed
over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method.
Assets recorded under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized
over the shorter of their useful lives or the term of the related leases by
use of the straight-line method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
(THE INFORMATION FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995 IS
UNAUDITED)
Excess of Purchase Price Over Net Assets
The excess of purchase price over net assets consists of the excess over
fair value on the purchase transactions which is amortized over fifteen years
based upon the life of the operating agreement between Garrett and
AlliedSignal (see Operating Agreements footnote) and direct acquisition costs
which are amortized over one to five years based on the nature of the cost.
Accumulated amortization at March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995, and 1994 was
$2,535,000, $2,319,000, and $976,000, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Substantially all of the revenues are derived from customers in the general
aviation market by direct sales and through repairs and overhaul operations.
Garrett also derives revenues from AlliedSignal for prepaid maintenance
service and warranty programs sponsored by AlliedSignal, who also is a major
supplier of virtually all of the related engine parts.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from engine and airframe maintenance services is recognized upon
completion of the repair. Revenue from parts sales is recognized upon shipment
of the part to customers.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising as incurred. Advertising expense during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995, the year ended December
31, 1995, and for the period from July 1, 1994 (date of inception) to December
31, 1994 was approximately $120,000, $70,000, $450,000, and $250,000,
respectively.
Income Taxes
Under the Internal Revenue Code, a partnership is not a taxable entity, and
accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included in the
accompanying financial statements.
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.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company performed a review of
certain of its completed contracts and determined that $1,000,000 worth of
credits that had been established for future costs were no longer required.
Accordingly, this amount was reflected as a reduction of cost of sales during
the three months ended March 31, 1996.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 amounts to conform them
to the 1995 presentation.
ACQUISITIONS
Garrett entered into an agreement effective June 30, 1994 to acquire the
"Hangar Facilities" of AlliedSignal. The final price was $62,490,000 and was
financed through $12,000,000 of partners' capital with

On October 26, 1994, Garrett purchased 99 percent of certain assets and
assumed certain liabilities relating to an airframe maintenance, support and
fueling business known as "The Jet Center" for $2,420,000. The results of
operations of the acquired business have been included in the Garrett
financial statements from the date of acquisition. The one percent of The Jet
Center not owned by the Partnership is owned by CFC Aviation, Inc.
The acquisition of The Jet Center was accounted for by the purchase method
of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to assets acquired based upon

OPERATING AGREEMENTS
In conjunction with the purchase of the Hangar Facilities, the Partnership
entered into an Operating Agreement with AlliedSignal for a minimum term of 15
years covering certain critical aspects of the business. As a result of the
agreement, Garrett conducts a significant amount of business with the seller.
Some of the key provisions of the agreement include:
CONSIGNED INVENTORY. Garrett is permitted to hold on consignment certain
new spares, repair parts and exchange parts supplied by the seller. Such
inventory is held under the control of Garrett but is not purchased by
Garrett until the part is sold to the ultimate customer. Included in cost
of sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995, the
year ended December 31, 1995 and for the period from July 1, 1994 (date of
inception) to December 31, 1994, were purchases of approximately
$42,000,000, $38,000,000, $175,000,000, and $68,000,000, respectively,
under this arrangement.
PREPAID MAINTENANCE SERVICE PLANS. Garrett performs certain maintenance
services for eligible customers under the provisions of prepaid maintenance
service plans offered by AlliedSignal. Garrett is reimbursed for its costs
adjusted for performance incentives and disincentives as defined in the
Operating

Agreement. Total revenue from these plans was approximately $31,000,000,

from July 1, 1994 (date of inception) to December 31, 1994, respectively.

services for the three months ended March 31, 1996, and March 31, 1995, the
year ended December 31, 1995 and for the period from July 1, 1994 (date of
inception) to December 31, 1994, was approximately $9,000,000, $6,000,000,
$24,000,000, and $10,000,000, respectively.

of Garrett's assets), which matures December 31, 1999 unless it is in default,
and provides for maximum borrowings of up to $27,000,000, subject to reduction
for outstanding letters of credit of up to $5,000,000. Unused borrowings
available at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 are $4,000,000 and
$17,000,000, respectively, which is further reduced by outstanding letters of
credit of $354,000 at both March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. Interest
rates are determined at the time of borrowing and are based on the lender's
base rate, plus a margin of 0.75 percent to 0.0 percent based on operating
performance measures, or a Eurodollar rate, plus a margin of 2.0 percent to
1.0 percent based on operating performance measures. Interest on outstanding
balances under the Revolver is payable either monthly, quarterly or
semiannually dependent upon whether the borrowing is a base rate or Eurodollar
rate loan. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, $23,000,000 and
$10,000,000, respectively, was outstanding under the Revolver of which the
interest rate was 6.94 percent. The weighted average interest rate of the
Revolver for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the period from July 1,
1994 (date of inception) to December 31, 1994 was 7.65 percent and 7.20
percent, respectively. The Bank Credit Agreement contains various restrictive
covenants on financial ratios, capital expenditures and distributions among
other restrictions.

The Term Loan had an initial principal amount of $27,000,000 and annual
principal payments of $5,000,000 in 1995 and $5,500,000 thereafter. Interest
on the Term Loan is payable on the same basis and at the same rates as set
forth for the Revolving Credit Agreement. The term loan is part of the Bank
Credit Agreement that also includes the Revolving Credit Agreement.
Significant terms, interest and collateral are the same as set forth above in
the Revolving Credit Agreement footnote. At March 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995, the interest rate on the term loan was 6.56 and 8.50 percent on
$2,750,000 and $2,800,000, respectively, of the balance and 6.50 and 7.00
percent on $19,250,000 and $21,950,000, respectively, of the remaining
balance.
Garrett is required under the terms of its credit agreement to maintain an
interest rate swap to the extent of $20,000,000 from August 5, 1994 through
August 5, 1996, and has elected to enter into a $10,000,000 swap from August
6, 1996 to August 5, 1997 which effectively adjusts the variable interest rate
on this portion of Garrett's debt to a fixed 6.67 percent plus the margin as
defined in the Bank Credit Agreement (the actual rate as defined in the swap
at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 was 5.31 and 5.91 percent,
respectively, plus the margin). Garrett is required to make quarterly
settlements on the rate differentials and records a charge or credit to
interest expense at the end of each period for the impact of the swap. At
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, Garrett had accrued $24,000 and $23,000,
respectively, for the impact of the swap for the periods ended March 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995, respectively.
Lease obligations include two leases, the first of which relates to amounts
accrued in relation to a lease funded by a municipality through a $4,254,000
issue of tax-exempt bonds to finance certain hangar leasehold improvements
which is accounted for as a capital lease. These bonds were issued by the
respective city's airport authority prior to the acquisition and were
guaranteed by AlliedSignal. At the time of the acquisition, Garrett assumed
the $4,254,000 lease obligation and related leasehold improvement asset, and
under a sublease agreement, Garrett reimburses a monthly lease payment to
AlliedSignal in the amount of the monthly rental due on the lease which equals
the municipality's interest costs on the tax exempt bonds. This monthly
payment is recorded as interest expense. The $4,254,000 is due in October
2016. The second lease has a $4,400,000 balloon payment due in September 2018
and Garrett records annual rent expense in an amount which equals the lessor's
interest costs on the debt issued for the leasehold, and records an additional
expense of approximately $150,000 annually to establish the liability
necessary to satisfy the final payment. At March 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995, $1,142,000 and $1,104,000, respectively, has been accrued toward the
final obligation. Interest rates on both obligations are guaranteed by
AlliedSignal at four percent through June 1997 and five percent through
December 1999. Thereafter, the interest rates will be variable based on the
rate attached to the bonds.
Principal maturities on long-term debt at December 31, 1995, in the
aggregate are as follows:

GENERAL CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company is involved in certain litigation matters
through the normal course of business. Management does not believe that the
outcome of these matters will result in uninsured losses that will have a
material impact to the Company.
RELATED PARTIES
Garrett paid approximately $105,000, $75,000, $360,000, and $150,000,
respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995,
the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the period from July 1, 1994 (date of
inception) to December 31, 1994 for management fees to entities that are
partners in Garrett. Such management fee arrangements call for payment of
$300,000 per year beginning July 1, 1994 to one of the partner groups which is
to continue as long as their ownership interest equals or exceeds 20 percent
of their initial ownership interest, and an additional $120,000 per year to
another of the partner groups beginning July 1, 1995 which is to continue as
long as their ownership interest exceeds 20 percent of their ownership
interest.
Under the terms of the Bank Credit Agreement, Garrett is permitted to
distribute to its partners an amount equal to the maximum federal and state
tax rates applied to taxable income from the partnership attributable to the
partners. For the three months ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995, the
year ended December 31, 1995 and for the period from July 1, 1994 (date of
inception) to December 31, 1994, Garrett paid cash distributions of
approximately $1,476,000, $43,000, $6,164,000, and $22,000, respectively. At
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, Garrett has accrued an additional
$1,893,000 and $1,437,000, respectively, which is scheduled to be paid
subsequent to that date relating to operating results as of each of the
respective dates.
BENEFIT PLAN
During 1994, Garrett established the Garrett Aviation Services Savings Plan
covering substantially all employees who have completed 12 consecutive months
of service with Garrett or its predecessor businesses. Under the terms of the
Plan, employees may make voluntary contributions up to 15 percent of their
base compensation subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. The Company
will match 50 percent of employee contributions up to six percent of an
employee's base compensation. Contributions to the Plan for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the
period from July 1,

1994 (date of inception) to December 31, 1994 were approximately $190,000,
$182,000, $786,000, and $316,000, respectively.
FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance
sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.
Long and short-term debt: The carrying amounts of the Company's
borrowings under its short-term revolving credit agreement approximates its
fair value. 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. At
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the carrying amount of the Company's
long-term debt approximates its fair value.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In 1996, an unrelated third party has entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire substantially all of the assets and business of Garrett for
approximately $145 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.
The transaction is subject to various matters so there is no assurance that it
will ultimately be consummated.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
UNC Incorporated:
We have audited the accompanying statements of earnings and cash flows of
certain of the hangar facilities (as described in Note 1, "the Hangars") of
AlliedSignal Engines-Hangar Operations, a division of AlliedSignal Inc., for
the six month period ended June 30, 1994 and the year ended December 31, 1993.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Hangars management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of the
Hangars for the six month period ended June 30, 1994 and the year ended
December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

ALLIEDSIGNAL ENGINES--HANGAR OPERATIONS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Augusta, Ga.; Houston,
Tx.; Little Rock, Ark.; Los Angeles, Ca.; Ronkonkoma, NY.; and Springfield,
Ill. hangar facilities (those acquired by Garrett Aviation Services in July
1994, "the Hangars"), of AlliedSignal Engines--Hangar Operations, a wholly
integrated line of business of AlliedSignal Engines, a division of
AlliedSignal Inc. The financial results of operations of the Hangars, as
presented herein for the six month period ended June 30, 1994 and the year
ended December 31, 1993, would not be the same as would have occurred had the
Hangars been an independent entity. Certain costs, including certain employee
benefit costs, corporate expenses and income taxes were not allocated to these
facilities and are not included in the accompanying financial statements.
The Hangars provide turbine-powered airframe maintenance and related
services, technical support and turbine engine repair, overhaul and related
services on turbine engine products to general aviation operators and regional
commercial airlines. The services are provided at airport hangar locations
throughout the United States.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from engine and airframe maintenance services is recognized upon
completion of the repair. Revenue from parts sales is recognized upon shipment
of the part to the customers.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Hangars consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of
cash flows.
Inventories
Materials inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost
being determined on the average cost basis. Work-in-process includes material,
labor and related overhead.
Depreciation and Amortization
The cost of property and equipment are depreciated over the useful life of
the assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the related
leases using the straight-line methods.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Substantially all of the revenues are derived from customers in the general
aviation market by direct sales and through repair and overhaul operations.
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 of revenues and expenses reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Statement of Cash Flows
During 1993 and the six months period ended June 30, 1994, no interest was
paid by the Hangars.
2. RENTAL EXPENSE
The Hangars have various noncancelable operating leases relating principally
to real property, which expire at various dates through 2018. Rental expense
for the six month period ended June 30, 1994 and the year ended December 31,
1993 was $1,155,000 and $2,219,000, respectively.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes Delaware corporations to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or
in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
The Delaware General Corporation Law also authorizes a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of
the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation and
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the
court in which such action or suit is brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.
To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit
or proceeding discussed in the foregoing paragraphs, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection
therewith.
The registrant's Certificate of Incorporation does not limit the extent of
the indemnity provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Amended
and Restated Bylaws of the registrant permit indemnification of directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law, and the registrant's directors and officers are covered by certain
insurance policies maintained by the registrant.

ITEM 22(A). UNDERTAKINGS.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(j) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for
the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under
subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act ("Act") in accordance
with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section
305(b)(2) of the Act.
ITEM 22(B),(C). UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to
Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed
subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the
date of responding to the request.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-
effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company
being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in
the registration statement when it became effective.

The undersigned acknowledges receipt and review of the Prospectus, dated
September 24, 1996 (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to
time, the "Prospectus"), of UNC Incorporated, a corporation organized under
the laws of the State of Maryland (the "Company"), and this Letter of
Transmittal, which may be amended from time to time (this "Letter"), which
together constitute the Company's offer (the "Exchange Offer") to exchange an
aggregate principal amount of up to $125,000,000 of 11% Senior Subordinated
Notes Due June 1, 2006 ("New Notes") of the Company which have been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant
to a Registration Statement of which the Prospectus is a part, for an equal
principal amount of its outstanding 11% Senior Subordinated Notes Due June 1,
2006 ("Old Notes"). The New Notes will be obligations of the Company
evidencing the same indebtedness as the Old Notes and will be entitled to the
benefits of the same indenture which governs both the Old Notes and the New
Notes. The form and terms (including principal amount, interest rate, maturity
and ranking) of the New Notes are the same as the form and terms of the Old
Notes, except that (i) the New Notes have been registered under the Securities
Act and therefore will not be subject to certain restrictions on transfer
applicable to the Old Notes and will not be entitled to registration rights,
and (ii) the New Notes will not provide for any increase in the interest rate
thereon. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus.

the Exchange Agent at The Depository Trust Company (the "Book-Entry Transfer
Facility" or "DTC") pursuant to the procedures set forth in "The Exchange
Offer" section of the Prospectus. Holders of Old Notes whose certificates are
not immediately available, or who are unable to deliver their certificates or
confirmation of the book-entry tender of their Old Notes into the Exchange
Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility ("Book-Entry Confirmation")
and all other documents required by this Letter to the Exchange Agent on or
prior to the Expiration Date, must tender their Old Notes according to the
guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer--Procedures for
Tendering" section of the Prospectus. See Instruction 1. Delivery of documents

Exchange Agent.
The undersigned has completed, executed and delivered this Letter to indicate
the action he or she desires to take with respect to the Exchange Offer.
The Instructions included with this Letter must be followed in their
entirety. Questions and requests for assistance or for additional copies of the

PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the
undersigned tenders to the Company the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes
indicated above. Subject to and effective upon the acceptance for exchange of
all or any portion of the Old Notes tendered herewith in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including, if the Exchange Offer is
extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or
amendment), the undersigned exchanges, assigns and transfers to, or upon the
order of, the Company all right, title and interest in and to the Old Notes
tendered.
The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange
Agent as his or her agent and attorney-in-fact (with full knowledge that the
Exchange Agent also acts as the agent of the Company) with respect to the
tendered Old Notes, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney
being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest) subject only
to the right of withdrawal described in the Prospectus, to: (a) deliver
certificates for such Old Notes with all accompanying evidences of transfer and
authenticity to, or upon the order of, the Company upon receipt by the Exchange
Agent, as the undersigned's agent, of the New Notes to which the undersigned is
entitled upon the acceptance by the Company of the Old Notes tendered under the
Exchange Offer; (b) present certificates for such Old Notes for transfer, and
to transfer the Old Notes on the books of the Company; and (c) receive all
benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of the Old
Notes, all in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that he or she has full power
and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Old Notes tendered
hereby and that, when the same are accepted for exchange, the Company will
acquire good and unencumbered titled thereto, free and clear of all liens,
restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim.
The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional
documents deemed by the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the
assignment and transfer of the Old Notes tendered. The undersigned has read and
agrees to all of the terms of the Exchange Offer.
The undersigned agrees that acceptance of any tendered Old Notes by the
Company and the issuance of New Notes in exchange therefor shall constitute
performance in full by the Company of its obligations under the Registration
Rights Agreement (as defined in the Prospectus) and that, upon the issuance of
the New Notes, the Company will have no further obligations or liabilities
thereunder. By tendering Old Notes, the undersigned hereby represents and
agrees (i) that (a) the undersigned is not an "affiliate" of the Company within
the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended the
("Securities Act"); (b) any New Notes to be received by the undersigned are
being acquired in the ordinary course of its business; and (c) the undersigned
is not participating, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person
to participate, in a distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of
New Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer or (ii) that it is an
"affiliate" (as defined above) of the Company and that it will comply with the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the
extent applicable to it. By tendering Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer,
a holder of Old Notes which is a broker-dealer represents and agrees,
consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the staff of the
Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that
(a) such Old Notes held by the broker-dealer are held only as a nominee, or (b)
such Old Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer for its own account as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities and it will
deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with any resale of such New Notes; provided, however, that by so
acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, such broker-dealer will not be
deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the
Securities Act.
The undersigned understands that tenders of Old Notes pursuant to any one of
procedures described in "The Exchange Offer--Procedures for Tendering" section
of the Prospectus and in the instructions hereto will, upon the Company's
acceptance for exchange of such tendered Old Notes, constitute a binding
agreement between the undersigned and the Company upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of the Exchange Offer. The undersigned recognizes that, under
certain circumstances set forth in the Prospectus, the Company may not be
required to accept for exchange any of the Old Notes tendered hereby.

The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional
documents deemed by the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the
sale, assignment and transfer of the Old Notes tendered hereby. All authority
conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter and every obligation of the
undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon successors, assigns, heirs,
executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of
the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or
incapacity of the undersigned. This tender may be withdrawn only in accordance
with the procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer--Withdrawal Rights"
section of the Prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated herein in the box entitled "Special Issuance

transfer of Old Notes, that such New Notes be credited to the account indicated

duly executed Letter (or facsimile thereof) and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery,
substantially in the form provided by the Company (by facsimile transmission,
mail or hand delivery), setting forth the name and address of the holder of Old
Notes and the amount of Old Notes tendered, stating that the tender is being
made thereby and guaranteeing that within three New York Stock Exchange
8
<PAGE>
("NYSE") trading days after the date of execution of the Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery, the certificates for all physically tendered Old Notes, in proper
form for transfer, or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, and any
other documents required by this Letter will be deposited by the Eligible
Institution with the Exchange Agent, and (c) the certificates for all
physically tendered Old Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry
Confirmation, as the case may be, and any other documents required by this
Letter are received by the Exchange Agent within three NYSE trading days after
the date of execution of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES, THIS LETTER AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED
DOCUMENTS IS AT THE OPTION AND SOLE RISK OF THE TENDERING HOLDER. IF DELIVERY
IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL (RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED AND PROPERLY INSURED) OR
AN OVERNIGHT DELIVERY SERVICE IS RECOMMENDED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY. NO LETTERS OR OLD NOTES SHOULD BE
SENT TO THE COMPANY. To be tendered effectively, the Old Notes, this Letter and
all other required documents must be received by the Exchange Agent prior to
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of
receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Old Notes will be determined by
the Company whose determination will be final and binding. The Company reserves
the absolute right to reject any or all tenders that are not in proper form or
the acceptance of which, in the opinion of the Company's counsel, would be
unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to waive any irregularities or
conditions of tender as to particular Old Notes. All tendering holders, by
execution of this Letter, waive any right to receive notice of acceptance of
their Old Notes. Neither the Company, the Exchange Agent or any other person
shall be obligated to give notice of defects or irregularities in any tender,
nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.
See "The Exchange Offer" section of the Prospectus.
2. PARTIAL TENDERS (NOT APPLICABLE TO HOLDERS WHO TENDER BY BOOK-ENTRY
TRANSFER); WITHDRAWALS. If less than the entire principal amount of any Old
Notes evidenced by a submitted certificate is tendered, the tendering holder
must fill in the principal amount tendered in the fourth column of Box 1 above.
ALL OF THE OLD NOTES REPRESENTED BY A CERTIFICATE DELIVERED TO THE EXCHANGE
AGENT WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN TENDERED UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED. A
certificate for Old Notes not tendered will be sent to the holder, unless
otherwise provided in Box 5, as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date,
in the event that less than the entire principal amount of Old Notes
represented by a submitted certificate is tendered.
Old Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any
time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
For a withdrawal to be effective, a written telegraphic, telex or facsimile
transmission notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Exchange Agent
at its address set forth above or in the Prospectus. Any such notice of
withdrawal must specify the name of the person having tendered the Old Notes to
be withdrawn, identify the Old Notes to be withdrawn (including the principal
amount of such Old Notes), and (where certificates for Old Notes have been
transmitted) specify the name in which such Old Notes are registered if
different from that of the withdrawing holder, accompanied by evidence
satisfactory to the Company that the person withdrawing the tender has
succeeded to the beneficial ownership of the Old Notes being withdrawn. If
certificates for Old Notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the
Exchange Agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, the
withdrawing holder must also submit the serial numbers of the particular
certificates to be withdrawn and a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures
guaranteed by an Eligible Institution unless such holder is an Eligible
Institution. If Old Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for
book-entry transfer described in "The Exchange Offer--Procedures for Tendering"
section of the Prospectus, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and
number of the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited with
the withdrawn Old Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of such
facility. If any Old Notes are tendered for exchange but are not exchanged for
any reason, or if any Old Notes are submitted for a greater principal amount
than the holder desires to exchange, such unaccepted or nonexchanged Old Notes
will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to such holder (or, in the
case of Old Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent's
account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility pursuant to the book-entry transfer
procedures described in "The Exchange Offer--Procedures for Tendering" section
of the Prospectus, such Old Notes will be credited to an account maintained
with such Book-Entry Transfer Facility for the Old Notes) as soon as
practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender, termination of the Exchange
Offer or submission of
9
<PAGE>
nonexchanged Old Notes. Withdrawals of tenders of Old Notes may not be
rescinded. Old Notes properly withdrawn will not be deemed validly tendered for
purposes of the Exchange Offer, but may be tendered at any subsequent time on
or prior to the Expiration Date by following any of the procedures described in
"The Exchange Offer--Procedures for Tendering" section of the Prospectus.
All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of
receipt) of such withdrawal notices will be determined by the Company, in its
sole discretion, whose determination shall be final and binding on all parties.
Neither the Company, any affiliates or assigns of the Company, the Exchange
Agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give any notification of
any irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for
failure to give any such notification.
3. SIGNATURES; GUARANTEE OF SIGNATURES. If this letter is signed by the
holder(s) of Old Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond with the
name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) for such Old Notes,
without alteration, or any change whatsoever.
If any of the Old Notes tendered hereby are owned by two or more joint
owners, all owners must sign this Letter.
If any tendered Old Notes are held in different names on several
certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many
separate copies of this Letter as there are names in which certificates are
held.
Signatures on this Letter or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must
be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution, unless the Old Notes tendered
pursuant thereto are tendered (a) by a registered holder who has not completed
the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or "Special Delivery
Instructions" on this Letter or (b) for the account of an Eligible Institution.
In the event that signatures on this Letter or a notice of withdrawal, as the
case may be, are required to be guaranteed, such guarantee must be by an
Eligible Institution.
If this Letter is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any
Old Notes listed therein, such Old Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by
bond powers and a proxy which authorizes such person to tender the Old Notes on
behalf of the registered holder, in each case as the name of the registered
holder or holders appear on the Old Notes. If this Letter or any Old Notes bond
powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-
in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or
representative capacity, such person should so indicate when signing, and
unless waived by the Company, evidence satisfactory to the Company of their
authority to so act must be submitted with this Letter.
4. SPECIAL ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS. Tendering holders should
indicate, in Box 4 or 5, the name and address to which the New Notes or
certificates for Old Notes not tendered are to be issued or delivered,
respectively, if different from the name and address of the person signing this
Letter. In the case of issuance in a different name, the tax identification
number of the person named must also be indicated. A holder of Old Notes
tendering Old Notes by book-entry transfer may request that Old Notes not
exchanged be credited to such account maintained at the Book-Entry Transfer
Facility as such holder of Old Notes may designate hereon. If no such
instructions are given, such Old Notes not exchanged will be returned to the
name or address of the person signing this Letter.
5. TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. Federal income tax law requires that a holder
whose tendered Old Notes are accepted for exchange must provide the Exchange
Agent (as payor) with his or her correct taxpayer identification number
("TIN"), which, in the case of a holder who is an individual, is his or her
social security number. If the Exchange Agent is not provided with the correct
TIN, the holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue
Service. In addition, delivery to the holder of the New Notes pursuant to the
Exchange Offer may be subject to back-up withholding. (If withholding results
in overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained.) Exempt holders (including,
among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject
to these back-up withholding and reporting requirements. See the enclosed
Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute
Form W-9 for additional instructions.
Under federal income tax laws, payments that may be made by the Company on
account of New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be subject to
back-up withholding at a rate of 31%. In order to prevent back-up withholding,
10
<PAGE>
each tendering holder must provide his or her correct TIN by completing the
"Substitute Form W-9" referred to above, certifying that the TIN provided is
correct (or that the holder is awaiting a TIN) and that: (i) the holder has not
been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he or she is subject to
back-up withholding as a result of failure to report all interest or dividends;
or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the holder that he or she is
no longer subject to back-up withholding; or (iii) in accordance with the
Guidelines, such holder is exempt from back-up withholding. If the Old Notes
are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult
the enclosed Guidelines for information on which TIN to report.
6. TRANSFER TAXES. The Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any,
applicable to the transfer of Old Notes to it or its order pursuant to the
Exchange Offer. If, however, the New Securities or certificates for Old
Securities not tendered are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name
of, any person other than the record holder, or if tendered certificates are
recorded in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter,
or if a transfer tax is imposed by any reason other than the transfer of Old
Notes to the Company or its order pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then the
amount of such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the record holder or any
other person) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence
of payment of taxes or exemption from taxes is not submitted with this Letter,
the amount of transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder.
Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not be necessary for
transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the certificates listed in this Letter.
7. WAIVER OF CONDITIONS; NO CONDITIONAL TENDERS. The Company reserves the
absolute right to amend or waive any of the specified conditions in the
Exchange Offer.
No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be
accepted.
8. MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. Any holder whose
certificates for Old Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed
should contact the Exchange Agent at the address indicated above for further
instructions.
9. REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE OR ADDITIONAL COPIES. Questions relating to the
procedure for tendering, as well as requests for additional copies of the
Prospectus or this Letter, may be directed to the Exchange Agent at the address
and telephone number indicated above.
IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER (OR FACSIMILE THEREOF), TOGETHER WITH CERTIFICATES OR
CONFIRMATION OF BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, MUST BE

RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT, ON OR PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME,
