      In March 1998, the Company refinanced its revolving and term loans,
consolidating them with one lending institution. The financing agreement was
amended in June 1998 to increase the capital expenditure facility from $3.0
million to $5.0 million. The agreement was further amended on March 24, 1999 to
increase the balance of the term loan to $18.0 million from the paid-down
balance of $16.1 million existing just prior to the increase. The Company's
credit facility with this lending institution totals $50.0 million consisting
of: (1) $27.0 million of revolving credit against eligible receivable and
inventory balances, (2) an $18.0 million term loan and (3) a $5.0 million
capital expenditure facility. As of July 2, 1999, the Company had approximately
$3.2 million of unused borrowing availability on this credit facility.

                                  Page 7 of 15

      The loans are secured by collateral consisting of substantially all of the
Company's assets including inventory, equipment, receivables, general
intangibles, investment property and real property. The interest rates on the
loans are set quarterly based on the Company's performance against
debt-to-earnings ratios specified in the agreement. Interest rates can range
from LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rates) plus 2.25% to LIBOR plus 1.0% on
the revolving loan and from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 1.5% on the term and
equipment loans. Alternatively, the Company may elect interest rates based on
the lending institution's prime rate with the revolving loan fixed at prime plus
0.25% and the term and equipment loans fixed at prime plus 0.50%. Interest is
paid monthly in arrears on all loans. The credit facility matures on December
31, 2000.

7.    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

      Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement
establishes items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards
as components of comprehensive income. Statement 130 requires, among other
things, that an enterprise report a total for comprehensive income in financial
statements of interim periods issued to shareholders. For the quarterly and six
month periods ended July 2, 1999 and July 3, 1998, the Company's consolidated
comprehensive income does not differ materially from the consolidated net income
set forth on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

      The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included
elsewhere herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 2, 1999 COMPARED WITH THE QUARTER AND SIX
MONTHS ENDED JULY 3, 1998

      Revenues for the quarter ended July 2, 1999 increased $9.2 million over
the quarter ended July 3, 1998, or 23.1%, from $39.6 million in 1998 to $48.8
million in 1999. Revenues for the six months ended July 2, 1999 increased $20.7
million over the six months ended July 3, 1998, or 29.3%, from $70.4 million in
1998 to $91.1 million in 1999. The increase in revenue in 1999 over 1998 was
primarily attributable to the following factors: (i) increased revenues on
chemical defense contracts, including two large contracts which were in the
design or start-up phase during the first half of 1998 and are now in full
production, (ii) increased deliveries of composite components on several
long-term aerospace / defense programs, including the C-17 and F-18 E/F military
aircraft and (iii) increased sales of the Company's commercial products,
including natural gas vehicle ("NGV") fuel tanks and specialty vehicle
electronics.

      Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 23.6% in the second quarter
of 1999, compared to 23.0% in the second quarter of 1998. The gross profit
percentage for the first six months increased from 22.9% in 1998 to 23.0% in
1999. The increase is primarily the result of improved efficiencies resulting
from increased volume and minor changes in product sales mix.

      General and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million, or 19.9%, for
the quarter and $1.8 million, or 14.9%, for the first six months in 1999,
reflecting a general increase in business activity. As a percentage of revenues,
general and administrative expenses decreased from 15.5% in 1998 to 15.1% in
1999 for the quarter, and from 17.3% in 1998 to 15.4% in 1999 for the six
months. The percentage decrease is primarily attributable to the increase in
revenues.

      Operating income was $4.1 million, or 8.5% of sales, for the second
quarter of 1999, compared to $2.9 million, or 7.4% of sales, for the second
quarter of 1998. Operating income for the first six months of 1999 was $6.9
million, or 7.6% of sales, compared to $3.9 million, or 5.6% of sales, for the
first six months ended of 1998. The increase in operating income for the quarter
and six months ended July 2, 1999 is primarily attributed to the increase in
revenues and gross profit margin.

      Interest expense in 1999 increased $120,000 for the quarter and $266,000
for the six months, primarily the result of an increase in average loan balances
outstanding in the first half of 1999 compared to the same period of 1998.

      Income taxes increased $0.4 million for the quarter and $1.0 million for
the six months in 1999 as a result of higher pre-tax earnings. The effective tax
rate was 38.5% for both periods.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

      Cash flow provided by operations was $2.0 million for the first six months
of 1999 compared to $3.3 million used in operations for the same period in 1998.
Working capital, excluding short-term debt balances, increased $1.9 million in
the first six months of 1999 to $53.7 million. This increase was the result of
(i) an increase of $3.7 million in inventory, reflecting a continued build-up on
a few major aerospace composites programs which are in the start-up or early
production phases, (ii) a decrease of $1.0 million in accounts receivable,
resulting from the conversion of a major portion of the receivables build-up at
December 31, 1998 to cash during the first quarter of 1999, (iii) a decrease of
$0.8 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, (iv) a decrease in cash
balances of $1.2 million and (v) a net decrease in other working capital
components of $0.1 million. Cash flow of $3.4 million used in investing
activities in the first six months of 1999 resulted exclusively from capital
expenditures.

      The Company's primary loan agreement was amended on March 24, 1999 to
increase the balance of the term loan to $18.0 million from the paid-down
balance of $16.1 million existing just prior to the increase. The Company's
total credit facility under the amended agreement is $50.0 million consisting
of: (i) $27.0 million of revolving credit against eligible receivable and
inventory balances, (ii) an $18.0 million term loan and (iii) a $5.0 million
capital expenditure line of credit. The term loan is payable quarterly based on
a seven-year amortization period. The interest rates on the loans are set
quarterly based on the Company's performance against debt-to-earnings ratios
specified in the agreement. Interest rates can range from LIBOR (the London
Interbank Offered Rates) plus 2.25% to LIBOR plus 1.0% on the revolving loan and
from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 1.5% on the term and equipment loans.
Alternatively, the Company may elect interest rates based on the lending
institution's prime rate with the revolving loan fixed at prime plus 0.25% and
the term and equipment loans fixed at prime plus 0.50%. Interest is paid monthly
in arrears on all loans. The credit facility matures on December 31, 2000. As of
July 2, 1999, the Company had approximately $3.2 million of unused borrowing
availability on this credit facility.

      At July 2, 1999, the Company's backlog of orders and long-term contracts
was approximately $591 million, compared to $585 million at December 31, 1998.
The backlog includes firm released orders of approximately $182 million and $191
million at July 2, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.

      As discussed above, the Company has made capital expenditures totaling
$3.4 million during the first six months of 1999, which have been financed by a
combination of cash flows from operations and increased borrowings under the
revolving and equipment loan portions of the Company's credit facility.

      ATP announced on June 15, 1999 that its negotiations with a third party
financial buyer regarding the possible sale of the Company have terminated. ATP
also announced that it has received indications of interest from several other
third parties and ATP's board of directors has instructed its management to
explore these potential opportunities. On August 3, 1999, ATP announced that
management is continuing to explore indications of interest from several other
parties regarding the sale of the Company. However, there can be no assurance
that any of these discussions will result in the sale or merger of the Company.

                                 Page 11 of 15

      Pending the possible sale or merger of the Company, ATP is continuing to
look for acquisition candidates that will enhance its operations. The timing,
size or success of any acquisitions and the resulting additional capital
commitments are unpredictable. The Company expects to fund any future
acquisitions primarily through a combination of issuances of additional equity,
working capital, cash flow from operations and borrowings, including any unused
portion of the credit facility. To the extent new sources of financing are
necessary to fund future acquisitions, there can be no assurance that the
Company can secure such additional financing if and when it is needed or on
terms deemed acceptable to the Company.

      Management of ATP believes that cash flows from operations and available
borrowings under its credit facility are adequate to sustain the ATP's current
operating level and future short-term growth. However, should circumstances
arise affecting cash flow or requiring capital expenditures beyond those
anticipated by the Company, there can be no assurance that such funds will be
available.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

      ATP is currently in the process of evaluating its computer hardware and
software systems to ensure such programs and systems will be able to process
transactions in the year 2000 ("Y2K"). The Company is also currently identifying
other equipment that contains embedded electronics that may render the equipment
inoperable in the year 2000 and is evaluating the plans of its material
suppliers and vendors to become Y2K compliant. ATP has organized its efforts to
prepare for Y2K problems under a plan that involves the following steps:
assessment, modification / implementation and testing. Each division has a core
of employees who have been assigned specific Y2K responsibilities, in addition
to their regular assignments. The Y2K readiness project is a company-wide effort
and is monitored centrally.

      ATP has completed the assessment phase under its plan. ATP estimates that
it has currently completed 80% of the modification / implementation phase and
60% of the testing phase of its plan. ATP anticipates that it will complete all
phases of its plan by the end of 1999. ATP anticipates that it will be Y2K
compliant by the end of 1999 with respect to internal information technology
("IT") and non-IT systems that are critical to its operations. ATP is currently
evaluating the time table upon which all other IT and non-IT systems can be made
Y2K compliant and will target a date when the evaluation is complete. However,
ATP does not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on its business
operations, products or financial prospects as a result of the Y2K problem.

      In addition, ATP has undertaken efforts to monitor and evaluate the Y2K
compliance efforts of its key suppliers and vendors. In particular, ATP is
requesting certification of Y2K compliance from its key suppliers and vendors.

      Although it is not possible to accurately estimate the costs of this
information systems analysis, at this time ATP expects that such costs will not
be material to its financial position or results of operations. There can be no
assurance, however, that ATP, its suppliers and vendors or their respective
software vendors will complete all modifications to all material IT and non-IT
systems in a timely manner, or as to the costs associated with ATP becoming Y2K
compliant, or the costs of the failure of any of ATP's vendors failing to become
Y2K compliant.

                                 Page 12 of 15
<PAGE>
      Some of the possible consequences of non-compliance by ATP or significant
third parties include, among other things, temporary plant closings, delays in
the receipt and delivery of raw materials and products, invoice and collection
errors, and obsolescence of inventory. Given this risk, ATP is developing
contingency plans to mitigate possible disruption in business operations that
may result from Y2K related interruptions. Contingency plans may include
increasing safety stocks of raw materials, securing alternative suppliers or
other appropriate measures.

      ATP's Y2K activities are an ongoing process and the estimates of costs and
completion dates for various activities described above are subject to change.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS - CAUTIONARY FACTORS

      This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are those that do
not state historical fact and are inherently subject to risk and uncertainties.
The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current

results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking
statements. For additional information identifying such risks and uncertainties,
see the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Item 7, under the heading
"Factors Affecting Future Operating Results").

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

      The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily relating to
its $50 million credit facility. However, the carrying value of borrowings under
the credit facility generally approximate fair value due to the variable rate
nature of such borrowings.

      The Company has not entered into transactions which subject it to material
foreign currency transaction gains and losses.
