Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

[The following  should be read in conjunction  with  Management's Discussion and
Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  contained  in the
Company's  Form  10-K for the  fiscal  year  ended  September  25,  1999 and its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 1999.]

Results of Operations

Consolidated

Sales for the second quarter of 2000 were $161 million  compared to $162 million
in the same period of 1999.  Increased  sales  volumes in  Industrial  Controls,
which resulted in an additional $3 million in sales, were offset by decreases in
Aircraft Controls and Satellite and Launch Vehicle  Controls.  For the first six
months of 2000,  sales were $318 million  compared to $310 million for the first
half of 1999.  Sales increased  across each of the Company's  operating  groups.
Satellites  and Launch  Vehicle  Controls  increased $4 million  while  Aircraft
Controls increased $3 million and Industrial Controls increased $1 million.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the second  quarter and first half of
2000 was 69.4% compared to 68.3% in the second quarter of 1999 and 68.7% for the
first six months of 1999. The increases in the current year are due primarily to
the redeployment of resources in Aircraft Controls from research and development
expenses  (R&D)  to  production  and  lower  sales  volumes  and  cost  overruns
associated with controls for electric applications.

R&D decreased to $6 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared to $9 million
in the same quarter a year ago.  Year-to-date,  R&D  decreased to $12 million in
2000 compared to $18 million in 1999.  The decreases  were  primarily due to the
winding down of efforts related to the  development of next generation  aircraft
flight  controls.  A portion of the costs associated with those efforts has been
redirected to either production or sales-support.

Interest  expense  increased $1 million in the second quarter to $8 million from
$7  million a year  ago.  The  increase  is due to  higher  average  outstanding
borrowings and higher interest rates associated with the Company's floating-rate
indebtedness.  On a year-to-date basis, interest expense increased $3 million to
$16  million  in 2000  compared  to $13  million  in the  first  half  of  1999.
Approximately  two-thirds  of  the  increase  is  attributable  to  indebtedness
incurred to finance the 1999 first quarter acquisitions. The remainder is due to
higher average borrowing levels and higher interest rates.

Backlog at March 31, 2000 was $327 million compared to $347 million at March 31,
1999.   The  decrease   relates  to  controls  on  certain  launch  vehicle  and
entertainment  simulator  programs nearing  completion and lower incoming orders
for satellite controls as softness continues in this market.

Aircraft Controls

Sales in  Aircraft  Controls  in the  second  quarter  of 2000 were $75  million
compared  to $78  million  in the same  quarter a year ago.  OEM sales to Boeing
decreased by $9 million due to several  reasons.  Reductions in Boeing  aircraft
production  rates were expected to be offset by new business  awarded by Boeing,
primarily controls for Trailing Edge  Transmissions on the 777 airplane.  Boeing
has since  unexpectedly  adjusted  its  requirements  for these  products  in an
attempt to reduce apparently high levels of existing  inventory.  Another factor
is that certain manufacturing  activities on the Boeing OEM business obtained as
part of the November 1998 acquisition of Montek were  substantially  transferred
to one of the  Company's  low cost  manufacturing  facilities  during the second
quarter of 2000. A build up of inventory  levels on this product occurred during
the first quarter to bridge the Company  through this second  quarter  transfer,
resulting in lower cost input and sales in the second  quarter.  The decrease in
Boeing OEM business was partially  offset by higher  aftermarket  sales for both
military  and  commercial  aircraft  and $3 million of  additional  sales on the
F/A-18E/F  program.  Sales in Aircraft  Controls for the first half of 2000 were
$153 million compared to $150 million in the first six months of 1999. OEM sales
to Boeing  decreased by $4 million.  Incremental  Boeing OEM sales of $7 million
resulting  from Montek being  included for a full six months in the current year
were offset by lower Boeing production rates.

Operating margins for Aircraft Controls were 13.4% in the second quarter of 2000
compared to 12.5% in the same period last year. On a year-to-date basis, margins
were 13.6% in 2000 compared to 11.9% in 1999. The increases are due primarily to
reductions in R&D related to the development of next generation  flight controls
and to improved margins on a favorable mix of military aftermarket sales.

Satellite and Launch Vehicle Controls

Sales in Satellite  and Launch  Vehicle  Controls were $29 million in the second
quarter of 2000 compared to $30 million in the same period a year ago. Increased
sales of controls for launch  vehicles of $4 million,  primarily on the Titan IV
program,  were more than offset by a decrease of $3 million in sales of tactical
missiles,  reflecting the completion of a large tactical missile program,  and a
$2 million decrease in sales of satellite  controls due to a continued low level
of order activity from the primes.  Year-to-date,  sales in Satellite and Launch
Vehicles  Controls  were $57  million in the first half of 2000  compared to $53
million  in the first  six  months of 1999.  Sales of  launch  vehicle  controls
increased  $9  million  primarily  on the  strength  of the  Titan  IV  program.
Offsetting  this  increase  was a decrease in sales of $4 million for  satellite
controls and lower tactical missile controls sales. Incremental sales associated
with  tactical  missile  programs,   which  were  obtained  through  the  Montek
acquisition, were more than offset by lower sales related to the 1999 completion
of work on a large tactical missile program.
                                       10
<PAGE>

Operating  margins for Satellite and Launch  Vehicle  Controls were 11.1% in the
second  quarter of 2000  compared  to 11.6% in the same  period a year ago.  The
decrease is due to lower sales of  satellite  controls and controls for tactical
missiles.  Year-to-date,  operating margins were 12.6% in 2000 compared to 10.7%
in 1999. The margin  improvement is due to the increase in sales mentioned above
and the resultant mix of sales favoring higher margin launch vehicle programs.

Industrial Controls

Sales in  Industrial  Controls  in the second  quarter of 2000 were $57  million
compared to $54 million in the same period in 1999.  Sales  increased $5 million
at constant currency on the strength of hydraulic  controls,  which increased by
$7 million.  This  increase  is due to higher  sales of  advanced  controls  for
industrial power-generating turbines and controls for plastics-making machinery,
primarily   injection   molding   machines.   Sales  of  controls  for  electric
applications at constant currency decreased by $2 million due to lower shipments
of aiming equipment for military ground vehicles and electric motion simulators.
Year-to-date, sales in Industrial Controls were $108 million in 2000 compared to
$107 million in 1999. Sales increased $7 million at constant currency with sales
of controls for hydraulic  applications,  primarily  for plastics  machinery and
turbines, increasing by $10 million. Sales of controls for electric applications
decreased $3 million at constant currency due to softness in the electric motion
simulator market and lower sales of controls for military ground vehicles.

Operating  margins for  Industrial  Controls were 11.9% in the second quarter of
2000 compared to 10.1% in the same period of 1999. The improved  margins are due
to strong  sales of hydraulic  controls  and  improvement  in  efficiencies  for
plastics  controls  primarily  related  to  the  integration  activities  at the
industrial  businesses  acquired in 1999.  Offsetting  this  improvement  was $1
million  of lower  operating  profit  associated  with lower  sales of  electric
controls.  Year-to-date,  operating margins were 10.9% in 2000 compared to 10.7%
in 1999 as strong margins  associated  with increased  hydraulic  controls sales
were offset by $2 million  less profit on lower sales of controls  for  military
ground  vehicles and  entertainment  motion  simulators and cost overruns on two
major development contracts for electric motion simulators.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Cash on hand at March  31,  2000 was $12  million  compared  to $10  million  at
September  25,  1999.  Cash from  operations  in the  first  half of 2000 was $7
million  compared to $32 million in 1999.  Long-term  debt  increased $9 million
during  the  first  half of 2000 to $358  million  at March 31,  2000  while the
percentage of long-term debt to capitalization remained at 62%. The reduction in
cash  from  operations  and the  resultant  increase  in debt were due to higher
receivable  levels and continuing  development  efforts on various  business jet
programs.  At March 31, 2000,  the Company has interest rate swap  agreements of
$100 million  outstanding,  effectively  converting  this amount into fixed rate
debt at 7.27% for the balance of the year.  The Company  expects a reduction  in
total debt in 2000 of as much as $10 million, notwithstanding the effects of the
stock  repurchase  program  announced in February 2000. For the six months ended
March 31, 2000, the Company purchased 129,100 shares at a cost of $3 million.

At March 31,  2000,  the Company had $89  million of unused  borrowing  capacity
under  short and  long-term  lines of credit,  including  $76  million  from the
Company's U.S. revolving credit facility.

Capital  expenditures  for the first half of 2000 were $8 million  compared with
depreciation and amortization of $15 million.  Capital expenditures in the first
half of 1999 were $14 million  compared to depreciation  and amortization of $15
million. Capital expenditures in 2000 are not expected to exceed $20 million.

The Company  believes its cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available
borrowings  under  short and  long-term  lines of credit,  will  continue  to be
sufficient to meet its operating  needs.

In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,"  which must be
adopted by fiscal 2001. Under this standard, companies are required to carry all
derivatives  in the balance sheet at fair value.  The  accounting for changes in
the fair value  (i.e.,  gains or losses) of a derivative  instrument  depends on
whether it has been  designated and qualifies as part of a hedging  relationship
and,  if so, on the reason for  holding  it.  The  Company is in the  process of
evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements.

Outlook

Aircraft  Controls'  2000 sales are expected to increase over 1999 due primarily
to increased  production  rates on the F/A-18E/F and strong  aftermarket  sales.
Declines in commercial aircraft production rates at Boeing, along with delays in
orders  associated with newly awarded  incremental  Boeing  commercial  aircraft
business,  will more than offset a full year of Boeing OEM sales  resulting from
the Montek  acquisition  in November  1998.  Although  the Company has  recently
signed  long-term  agreements with several  customers to supply various controls
for  satellites  and launch  vehicles,  sales in  Satellite  and Launch  Vehicle
Controls  are  expected  to  decrease  modestly  in 2000  compared to last year.
Production of satellites  continues to be low and customers continue to work-off
apparent high levels of inventory.  In addition,  sales of controls for tactical
missiles will decrease due to last year's completion of work on a large tactical
missile program.  Notwithstanding  further currency  fluctuations,  current year
sales in  Industrial  Controls  should show a slight  increase  over 1999 on the
continuing  strength of turbine  controls and a recovery in sales of servovalves
to the plastics  industry.  Partially  offsetting  these increases in Industrial
Controls is an expected decline in the sales of electric motion  simulators,  as
compared to 1999, as major programs are approaching  completion.  As a result of
the above,  consolidated  sales are expected to increase by  approximately 3% in
2000 compared to 1999.

Aircraft  Controls'  margins  should  increase  as  compared  to 1999 due to the
significant  drop  in  research  and  development  costs  associated  with  next
generation  flight  controls and a favorable  mix of higher  margin  aftermarket
sales.  Margins in Satellite and Launch Vehicle Controls  benefited in the first
half of 2000 from strong  revenues for controls for launch  vehicles.  Satellite
and Launch Vehicle  Controls' margins will trend downward over the course of the
year due to projected lower sales volume on various launch vehicle  programs and
continued low satellite controls activity.  Margins in Industrial  Controls will
be up in 2000 primarily due to strong  hydraulic  controls sales. As a result of
the foregoing,  overall  operating  margins are expected to increase over 1999's
level by less than a half of a percentage point.
