3.    LONG-TERM DEBT

      SENIOR NOTES - The Company placed $20.0 million in principal amount of
senior notes with an institutional investor on November 30, 1993. $12.0 million
in principal remains outstanding at June 30, 2000. The notes bear interest at
6.13%, payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30. Semi-annual principal
payments of $4.0 million, plus accrued interest, are due on March 31 and
September 30 through September 30, 2001. The senior notes contain certain
restrictions, including limitations on additional borrowings, the payment of
dividends and capital stock repurchases. Under the most restrictive provision of
the senior notes, the Company must meet consolidated fixed charge coverage
ratios at specified levels. As of June 30, 2000, the Company was in compliance
with all covenants under the senior notes. The fair value of the fixed rate
senior notes approximates their carrying amount based on the estimated current
incremental borrowing rates for similar obligations with similar terms.

defined). As of June 30, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all covenants
under the Agreement and there were no outstanding borrowings.

4.    COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

      The Company completed a Lease Termination Agreement ("Termination
Agreement") with the landlord of the Rancho Bernardo manufacturing facility
subsequent to December 31, 1999. The Termination Agreement allows the Company to
buy itself out of the remaining years (through 12/31/2001) of the lease for a
sum of $900,000. The Termination Agreement was finalized and the payment was
made on February 18, 2000. As such, the Company recovered approximately $0.6
million against previously taken plant consolidation charges.

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

OVERVIEW - BUSINESS CONDITIONS

      The Company is principally engaged in the business of designing,
manufacturing and marketing graphite (carbon fiber based composite) golf club
shafts, with approximately 90% of its net sales resulting from sales to golf
club manufacturers for inclusion in their clubs. As a result, the Company's
operating results are substantially dependent not only on demand by its
customers for the Company's shafts, but also on demand by consumers for clubs
including graphite shafts such as the Company's.

      In 1998, the Company established a manufacturing facility in Evanston,
Wyoming for the production of carbon fiber. During 1998 and through the first
ten months of 1999, the Company used the material from this facility to satisfy
a significant portion of its internal demand for carbon fiber in the
manufacturing of golf club shafts. During 1999, the Company also produced and
sold carbon fiber from this facility to other unrelated entities for the
manufacture of other carbon-based products. On October 29, 1999, SGL Carbon
Fibers and Composite, Inc. ("SGL") purchased a 50% interest in the Company's
carbon fiber manufacturing operation. The Company and SGL entered into an
agreement to operate the facility as a limited liability company with equal
ownership interests between the venture partners. The Company and SGL also
entered into supply agreements with the new entity, Carbon Fiber Technology LLC
("CFT"), for the purchase of carbon fiber at cost plus an agreed mark-up.
Profits and losses of CFT are shared equally by the partners. The Company
anticipates that the carbon fiber from this facility will primarily be consumed
by the joint venture partners; however, any excess carbon fiber produced at this
facility could be marketed for sale to unrelated third parties. The Company does
not expect third party sales at CFT nor the sale of graphite prepreg to have a
significant effect on either its sales or profitability for several years.

      Historically, graphite shafts have principally been offered by
manufacturers of higher priced, premium golf clubs, and the Company's sales have
been predominantly of premium graphite shafts. However, in recent years the
Company has realized substantial sales growth in the value priced segment of the
graphite shaft market. The Company now competes aggressively with primarily
United States based shaft manufacturers for premium graphite shafts and also
against primarily foreign based shaft manufacturers for lower priced value shaft
sales. The Company continues to maintain a broad customer base in the premium
shaft market segment. While the Company's market share in the value segment is
not as great as the premium segment, the Company has advanced rapidly in
securing new customers in this segment in recent years. Presently, there exists
substantial excess graphite shaft manufacturing capacity both in the United
States and in other countries. This has had the effect, and is expected by
management to continue to have the effect for at least the next several years,
of decreasing the selling prices of the Company's shafts. Although the Company's
gross profit margin is being adversely affected by the reduction in selling
prices, the adverse effects on gross margin have been mitigated in the past to
some extent by steps taken by the Company to control costs, including obtaining
lower prices for its raw materials and manufacturing its own graphite prepreg,
and should be mitigated


                                       8
<PAGE>


to some extent in the future as the Company increases the percentage of its
shafts being manufactured in countries with lower labor and overhead costs.

      In recent years, the Company's results of operations have been materially
affected on several occasions by dramatic year-to-year changes in sales to an
individual golf club manufacturer customer. Such changes can result either from
decisions by the customer to increase or decrease shaft purchases from an
alternative supplier or from the traditional volatility in consumer demand for
specific clubs. The Company believes that this volatility is likely to continue
in the future, particularly as club manufacturers seek to gain competitive
advantages through an increased rate of technological innovation in club design.
The Company's results will benefit whenever it has an opportunity to supply
shafts for the latest "hot" club and will be adversely affected whenever sales
of clubs containing Aldila shafts drop dramatically. In particular, in recent
years, a significant portion of the Company's sales has tended to be
concentrated among several customers, thereby making the Company's results of
operations dependent to a large extent on continued sales to Taylor Made-adidas
Golf Co. ("Taylor Made"), Callaway Golf Company ("Callaway") and Ping. In 1999
sales to Taylor Made, Callaway and Ping represented 17%, 12% and 10%,
respectively, of the Company's total net sales. The Company expects Taylor Made,
Callaway and Ping to continue to be the Company's largest customers, at least
through 2000. The Company believes that while it will often not be possible to
predict, with any certainty, shifts in demand for particular clubs, the
Company's broad range of club manufacturer customers should reduce in some cases
the extent of the impact on the Company's financial results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SECOND QUARTER 2000 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 1999

      NET SALES. Net sales increased $4.5 million, or 35.4%, to $17.1 million
for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000 (the "2000 Period") from $12.6
million for the second quarter ended 1999 (the "1999 Period"). The increase in
net sales was attributable to increased shaft unit sales to the Company's club
manufacturer customers which was partially offset primarily by no carbon fiber
sales in the 2000 Period which were $1.9 million in the 1999 Period, and also by
a decrease in the average shaft unit selling price of shafts sold. Shaft unit
sales increased 80.3% in the 2000 Period as compared to the 1999 Period, and the
average selling price of shafts sold decreased 6.9%.

      GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $3.0 million, or 114.8%, to $5.7
million for the 2000 Period from $2.7 million for the 1999 Period as a result of
the increase in net sales and less expensive carbon fiber consumed in the 2000
Period. The Company's gross profit margin increased to 33.4% in the 2000 Period
compared to 21.1% in the 1999 Period primarily as a result of increased volume,
which resulted in a lower overall cost per unit.

      OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased $2.6 million, or 459.4%, to
$3.1 million for the 2000 Period from $0.5 million for the 1999 Period, and
increased as a percentage of net sales to 18.1% in the 2000 Period compared to
3.7% in the 1999 Period. Selling, general and


                                       9
<PAGE>


administrative expense increased to $2.3 million in the 2000 Period from $1.8
million in the 1999 Period primarily resulting from higher incentive charges
partially offset by reductions in other expenditures. Selling, general and
administrative expense decreased as a percentage of net sales to 13.2% for the
2000 Period compared to 14.5% for the 1999 Period, primarily as a result of the
increase in net sales.

      INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAXES. Income (loss) before income taxes
increased $2.9 million to $3.0 million for the 2000 Period from $0.1 million for
the 1999 Period. The major portion of the increase is attributed to the increase
in operating income.

      INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.3
million in the 2000 Period compared to $0.2 million in the 1999 Period. The
increase in the income tax provision was a result of the Company's higher income
before income taxes.

SIX MONTH PERIOD IN 2000 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTH PERIOD IN 1999

      NET SALES. Net sales increased $10.6 million, or 45.8%, to $33.8 million
for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from $23.2 million for the six
month period ended June 30, 1999. The increase in net sales was attributable to
increased shaft unit sales which was partially offset primarily by no carbon
fiber sales in the 2000 Period which were $2.1 million in the 1999 Period, and
also by a decrease in the average shaft unit selling price. Shaft unit sales
increased by 94.9% in the six month period ended June 30, 2000 as compared to
the six month period ended June 30, 1999, and the average selling price of
shafts sold decreased 11.0%.

      GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $3.7 million, or 75.8%, to $8.7
million for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from $4.9 million for the
six month period ended June 30, 1999. The Company's gross profit margin
increased to 25.7% for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to
21.3% for the six month period ended June 30, 1999, primarily as a result of
increased volume which results in a lower overall cost per unit. Gross profit
margin was negatively impacted in the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from
the carry over of higher cost inventories from 1999. The impact of the 1999
higher cost inventories resulted in an approximate 14% reduction in gross profit
reported. Gross profit margin in the six month period ended June 30, 2000 was
impacted positively by an approximate $0.3 million adjustment to inventory
reserves.

      OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased $3.9 million, or 623.0%, to
$4.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from $0.5 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 1999, and increased as a percentage of net
sales to 13.0% for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to 2.3% for
the six month period ended June 30, 1999. Selling, general and administrative
expense increased by 12% to $4.1 million for the six month period ended June 30,
2000 from $3.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in the six months ended June 30, 2000 was a result of higher incentive
charges partially offset by reductions in other expenditures. Selling, general
and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of net sales to 12.3% for
the six month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to 15.9% for the six month
period ended June 30, 1999, primarily as a result of the increase in net


                                       10
<PAGE>


sales. In addition, operating income was positively impacted in the six month
period ended June 30, 2000 by the recovery of $0.6 million in previously
recorded plant consolidation charges.

      INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAXES. Income (loss) before income taxes
increased $4.4 million to $4.2 million for the six month period ended June 30,
2000 from ($0.2) million for the six month period ended June 30, 1999, primarily
as a result of higher operating income.

      INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.0
million in the six month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to $0.2 million in
the six month period ended June 30, 1999, which was primarily as a result of the
affect of higher income before taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company has in place a $12.0 million revolving credit facility from a
financial institution which is secured by substantially all the assets of Aldila
Golf and guaranteed by the Company. Borrowings under the line of credit bear
interest, at the election of Aldila Golf, at the bank reference rate or at the
adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 2.5%. Availability for borrowings under the Line
of Credit was approximately $6.1 million as of June 30, 2000. The Company has
$12.0 million in principal amount of senior notes outstanding which bear
interest at 6.13%. Semi-annual principal payments of $4.0 million, plus accrued
interest, are due on March 31 and September 30 through September 30, 2001.

      Cash (including cash equivalents) provided by operating activities in the
six month period ended June 30, 2000 was $7.7 million compared to $0.7 million
used for operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 1999. This
increase resulted principally from the increase in net income and an increase in
cash provided by working capital items in the six month period ended June 30,
2000 as compared to cash used for working capital items in the six month period
ended June 30, 1999. The Company used $0.3 million for capital expenditures
during the six month period ended June 30, 2000. Management anticipates capital
expenditures will not exceed $1.0 million for 2000. The Company may also incur
capital expenditures over the next several years to expand and enhance the
production capacity of the CFT operation in Evanston, Wyoming in order to take
advantage of new opportunities brought to CFT and further reduce production
costs for the carbon fiber acquired by the Company, in addition to an obligation
to support one half of CFT's fixed annual cost. The Company believes that it
will have adequate cash resources, including anticipated cash flow and borrowing
availability to meet its obligations at least through 2001.

      The Company may from time to time consider the acquisition of businesses
complementary to the Company's business. The Company could require additional
debt financing if it were to engage in a material acquisition in the future.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". SAB 101 provides the SEC staff's
views in applying


                                       11
<PAGE>


generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues.
We will be required to adopt SAB 101 in the fourth quarter of the 2000 fiscal
year. We do not expect the adoption of SAB 101 will have a material effect on
our financial position or results of operations.

SEASONALITY

      Because the Company's customers have historically built inventory in
anticipation of purchases by golfers in the spring and summer, the principal
selling season for golf equipment, the Company's operating results have been
affected by seasonal demand for golf clubs, which has generally resulted in the
highest sales occurring in the second quarter. The timing of customers' new
product introductions has frequently mitigated the impact of seasonality in
recent years.

                  United States;

         -        we will not achieve success marketing shafts to club
                  assemblers based in China;

         -        our international operations will be adversely affected by
                  political instability, currency fluctuation, export/import
                  regulation and other risks typical of multi-national
                  operations, particularly those operating in less developed
                  countries; and

         -        our joint venture with SGL Carbon Fibers and Composites, Inc.
                  will be unsuccessful.
