((2) - continued)

The Company has an available revolving credit agreement in the amount of $6.0
million as of March 31, 2000. The revolving credit agreement bears interest at
the bank's base rate. The average balance outstanding against the revolving
credit agreement was $0.14 million and $2.7 million during the six-month periods
of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. The balances outstanding under the
revolving credit agreement have been classified as long term debt. A commitment
fee of 1/4% is incurred on the remaining unused balance.

The Company has a 10-year, $12.0 million term note payable. The term note
payable requires quarterly payments of $0.3 million and bears interest at a
fixed rate of 7.24%, subject to adjustment if certain loan covenants are not
maintained.

The Company has outstanding $4.1 million of 15-year, Industrial Development
bonds. The proceeds of the bond were used to refund an existing Industrial
Development bond of $1.6 million, and the balance of the funds are being used to
expand the Turbine Component Services and Repair facility in Tampa, Florida. The
interest rate is reset weekly, based on prevailing tax-exempt money market
rates. Principal payments are due annually and increase each year until the
final payment of $355,000 is due in 2013. The initial principal payment in the
amount of $200,000 was paid in 1999. Subsequent payments increase by $15,000 and
$5,000 in the second and third year, respectively, and by $10,000 in the
following seven years. The bonds are secured by the property and equipment of
the Tampa, Florida facility, and are backed by an irrevocable letter of credit.

Among other covenants, the Company is required to maintain a minimum tangible
net worth (as defined) of $30.0 million, increasing by 50% of net income
subsequent to September 30, 1997. Tangible net worth exceeded the required
minimum by $12.6 million at March 31, 2000.

(3)     Income Taxes:
        -------------

The provision for taxes on income, which is based on the anticipated effective
rate for the year, does not bear the customary relationship to pre-tax income
due primarily to foreign source income. Income tax expense differs from amounts
currently payable due to certain items reported for financial statement purposes
in periods which differ from those in which they are reported for tax purposes,
principally accelerated depreciation.

(4)     Deferred Federal Income Taxes:
        ------------------------------

The Company has deferred to future periods the income taxes relating to timing
differences between financial statement pre-tax income and taxable income.




                                      (6)
<PAGE>   8

(5)     Depreciation:
        -------------
For financial reporting purposes, the Company provides for depreciation of plant
and equipment, principally by the straight-line method, at annual rates
sufficient to amortize the cost over its estimated useful life. For tax
purposes, the Company uses various accelerated methods and, accordingly,
provides for the related deferred taxes. The principal rates of depreciation for
financial reporting purposes are: buildings 2% to 5%, and machinery and
equipment 5% to 33-1/3%.

(6)     Inventories:
        ------------
The Company follows the LIFO method of accounting for certain of its
inventories. Since the LIFO inventory determination for fiscal 2000 will be
based upon year-end inventory levels and costs, the Company will provide for
anticipated "LIFO Adjustment," if any, based on its estimated year-end inventory
levels and costs. Under the Average Cost Method, inventories would have been
$3,428,000 and $3,789,000 higher than reported at March 31, 2000 and September
30, 1999, respectively.

The Company identified an oversight in the calculation of its March 31, 2000
inventory valuation that resulted in a net overstatement of inventory of
approximately $333,000. This resulted in an understatement of Cost of Goods Sold
and a corresponding overstatement of Income Before Income Taxes of approximately
$333,000 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2000. This inventory
valuation issue reversed itself, as the inventory was sold, during the
three-month period ended June 30, 2000. Consequently, during the three-month
period ended June 30, 2000 Cost of Goods Sold was overstated with a
corresponding understatement of Income Before Income Taxes of approximately
$333,000. The Company has reflected the impact of these adjustments in its
quarterly tax provisions.

(7)     Other Income:
        ------------
Other income is comprised primarily of grant income from Irish government
agencies, foreign exchange gains and losses, and royalty and fee income.

(8)     Comprehensive Income
        ---------------------
Effective October 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." This statement requires the disclosure of comprehensive
income, which includes net income and other comprehensive income items
previously included within separate components of shareholders' equity. For the
Company, this consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. Since the
undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are intended to be
permanently reinvested, taxes have not been provided for foreign currency
translation adjustments.

Comprehensive income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
are as follows (in thousands):

necessary.

In the opinion of the Company, the financial information in this Form 10-Q
includes all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature,
necessary to fairly state the results for the periods.

continues to rise and are expected to produce positive results for the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Working capital was $28.7 million at March 31, 2000, compared to $30.3
million at September 30, 1999. The current ratio as of those dates was 2.7 and
2.6, respectively. Total debt as a percentage of tangible shareholders' equity
was 27.7% at March 31, 2000 compared to 29.6% at September 30, 1999.

     The Company announced in February 2000 that its board of directors had
authorized a repurchase of up to 100,000 shares, or approximately 2% of the
common shares outstanding. The shares, when purchased, will be used for
corporate purposes. These purchases can be made in the open market or in
negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions. Any such repurchase of
shares will use a portion of the Company's working capital. Through March 31,
2000, the Company had repurchased 28,500 shares at an average price of $6.44.

     Year-to-date capital expenditures were $2.4 million compared to $2.2
million a year ago. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2000 are anticipated to be
approximately $5.0 million compared to $4.9 million in fiscal 1999. The
expenditures will be primarily used to upgrade existing equipment and new
capabilities.

     The Company has borrowed $0.1 million against its revolving credit line of
$6.0 million at March 31, 2000. The Company believes it has adequate financing
available to meet its needs through the foreseeable future.

                         PROVISION FOR TAXES ON INCOME
                         -----------------------------

        The provision for taxes on income, which is based on the anticipated
effective rate for the year, does not bear the customary relationship to pre-tax
income, due primarily to foreign source income.

                                YEAR 2000 ISSUE
                                ---------------

        Through April 30, 2000, the Company has not experienced any noticeable
disruptions in its operations or in its ability to provide service to its
customers as a result of Year 2000 issues. Furthermore, the Company has no
knowledge of any conditions that exist, relative to the Year 2000 issue, that
will present problems in the future that would have a material adverse effect on
its financial condition or results of operations. Cumulative expenditures,
excluding the cost of Company information technology personnel, made through
December 31, 1999 related to the Year 2000 issue amounted to approximately
$150,000. No such related expenditures were incurred during the second fiscal
quarter of 2000.

                             SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
