HI-SHEAR INDUSTRIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Hi-Shear Industries
Inc. and its subsidiaries (The Company) have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The interim
financial statements presented herein have not been audited by independent
public accountants, but include all material adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows for such periods. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of
results for any other interim period or for the full year. The consolidated
balance sheet data presented herein for May 31, 1998 was derived from the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year then
ended. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make certain
estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial
statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from
these estimates. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended May 31, 1998.
With the sale of Hi-Shear Corporation and Subsidiaries ("HSC") on February
26, 1996, the Company no longer conducts an operating business. The Company
currently anticipates that upon final resolution of its claims against the U.S.
Navy, it will complete the distribution of its assets to stockholders and seek
stockholder approval to dissolve the Company. Until that time, management's
plans to continue as a going concern include reducing expenses, the possible
sale of certain property and banks or stockholders' loans, if required.
Note B - Contingencies
On January 31, 1996, the Company filed damage claims against the U.S. Navy
totaling $62.9 million arising from the termination of two contracts held by a
subsidiary, Defense Systems Corporation. The government audited these claims but
did not express a willingness to negotiate a settlement of these claims with the
Company. As a result, on February 11, 1997, the Company filed an appeal before
the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals requesting an adjudication of this
dispute. At a hearing which concluded September 17, 1998, the Board heard
evidence regarding this matter and will now consider the facts brought out at
the hearing as well as briefs filed by both sides on January 22, 1999 and
February 22, 1999 in determining the amount of claim damages to be awarded to
the Company. As a result of the above, the amount or timing of the recovery
cannot be predicted at this time. The Company had previously written off
additional costs associated with this matter due to uncertainty of the outcome,
however, since the rendering of the favorable decision in May 1995 by the Armed
Services Board of Contract Appeals, the Company began capitalizing additional
costs incurred, primarily claims preparation and legal costs, as claims
receivable. At February 28, 1999 and May 31, 1998 claims receivable of $4.4
million and $3.5 million, respectively, are included as other long term assets
on the balance sheet, as management believes such amounts are reasonable and
collectable. Since the amount of recovery of these claims cannot presently be
determined, no recognition from any settlement proposal, other than the
-4-
<PAGE>
claim receivable noted above, has been reflected in the accompanying financial
statements.
Subsequent to the completion of the trial against the U.S. Navy, certain
Company employees involved in preparing the case were promised a discretionary
bonus contingent upon the successful recovery of monetary claims. In this
regard, the Company has entered into agreements with two of these employees
providing tor the payment of bonuses totaling 8% of the claim proceeds
recovered.
Note C - Net Income Per Share
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS
No. 128 supersedes and simplified the previous computational guidelines under
APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share." Among other changes, SFAS No. 128
eliminates the presentation of primary EPS and replaces it with basic EPS for
which common stock equivalents are not considered in the computation. It also
revises the computation of diluted EPS.
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income
(loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is
computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders
by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. The Company did not have any common equivalent
shares outstanding during the three and nine month periods ended February 28,
1999 and 1998. Net loss per share and weighted-average shares outstanding for
the three and nine month period ended February 28, 1998 have been restated in
accordance with SFAS No. 128.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition.
Results of Operations
On February 26, 1996, the Company sold its last remaining operating
entity, Hi-Shear Corporation and its subsidiaries and effectively ceased
operations. Since that time the Company has reduced corporate staff and expenses
to a minimum level. During the nine month periods ended February 28, 1999 and
1998, corporate overhead totaled $973,000 and $1,147,000 , respectively, which
consist primarily of the ongoing costs necessary to pursue the settlement of the
Company's dispute with the U.S. Navy. The interest income reported during the
respective periods was due to interest earned on the investment of the proceeds
retained from the sale of Hi-Shear Corporation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On February 26, 1996, the Company completed the sale of Hi-Shear
Corporation to GFI Industries S.A. for a total purchase price of $46 million
generating net proceeds from the sale , after deducting transaction costs, of
$44.4 million. Of that amount, approximately $13 million was used to repay all
amounts outstanding under the Company's loan agreements and the remaining
balance was deposited in short term investment accounts. The Company has
previously announced its intention to liquidate and distribute the proceeds from
this sale as well as any settlement received from the resolution of the
Company's long standing dispute with the U.S. Navy. In this regard, the Company
made an initial liquidating distribution to shareholders of approximately $23.4
million ($4 per share) on August 1, 1996. At February 28, 1999 the Company had
$409,000 remaining in cash and cash equivalents.
The Company's cash requirements include ongoing costs relating to
pursuing the settlement of the Company's dispute with the U.S. Navy and
normal recurring general and administrative expenses. The Company anticipates
that existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to satisfy the
Company's cash requirements through the time of settlement with the U.S. Navy
and final liquidation of the Company. Although management and its legal
counsel cannot currently estimate when these situations will be resolved, the
Company has retained what it considers sufficient funds to allow it to pursue
equitable settlements with regard to all open matters currently pending. In
addition, the Company has retained real estate which can be sold or used as
collateral to acquire additional capital if necessary.
Impact of the Year 2000 Issue
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year thus causing
date-sensitive software to recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. Since the Company no longer has operating activities,
Management believes that the Year 2000 Issue will not have a material impact on
the financial position, operations or cash flows of the Company.
Forward Looking Statements
The statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis which are not
historical fact are forward looking statements that are made pursuant to the
Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not
limited to uncertainties surrounding the Company's dispute with the U.S. Navy
which could cause actual results to vary materially from those discussed herein.
