ARGO-TECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF AT HOLDINGS CORPORATION)







NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE 39 WEEKS ENDED JULY 29, 2000 AND JULY 31, 1999
(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The principal operations of Argo-Tech Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary
of AT Holdings Corporation) and its Subsidiaries include the design,
manufacture and distribution of aviation products, primarily aircraft fuel
pumps, throughout the world. In addition, Argo-Tech leases a portion of its
manufacturing facility to other parties. Argo-Techs fiscal year ends on the
last Saturday in October. Argo-Tech is obligated to fulfill certain
obligations of AT Holdings Corporation. As a result, those obligations have
been reflected in its financial statements. Certain reclassifications have
been made in the prior years financial statements to conform to the current
year presentation.

Argo-Tech Corporation is a parent, holding company with four wholly-owned
operating guarantor subsidiaries, Argo-Tech Corporation (HBP), Argo-Tech
Corporation (OEM), Argo-Tech Corporation (Aftermarket) and J.C. Carter
Company, Inc. Argo-Tech has no outside assets, liabilities or operations
apart from its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Senior Subordinated Notes are
fully, unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed by the guarantor
subsidiaries, and therefore, separate financial statements of the guarantor
subsidiaries will not be presented. Management has determined that the
information presented by such separate financial statements of the guarantor
subsidiaries is not material to investors. All of Argo-Techs subsidiaries
are guarantors except one wholly-owned subsidiary that has inconsequential
assets, liabilities and equity. Its only operations are the result of
intercompany activity, which is immediately dividended back to Argo-Tech.

2. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of Argo-Techs financial position and results of operations and
cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for
the 39 weeks and 13 weeks ended July 29, 2000 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at standard cost which approximates the costs which
would be determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The
recorded value of inventories is not in excess of market value.
Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

4. CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters The soil and groundwater at Argo-Techs Euclid, Ohio
facility and the Costa Mesa, California facility contain elevated levels of
certain contaminants which are currently in the process of being removed
and/or remediated. Because Argo-Tech has certain indemnification rights from
former owners of the facilities for liabilities arising from these or other
environmental matters, in the opinion of Argo-Techs management, the
ultimate outcome is not expected to materially affect its financial
condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Other Matters Argo-Tech is subject to various legal actions and other
contingencies. In the opinion of Argo-Techs management, after reviewing the
information which is currently available with respect to such matters and
consulting with Argo-Techs legal counsel, any liability which may
ultimately be incurred with respect to these additional matters is not
expected to materially affect Argo-Techs financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in two business segments: Argo-Tech and J.C. Carter.
Argo-Tech includes the design, manufacture and distribution of aviation
products, primarily aircraft fuel pumps, throughout the world. J.C. Carter
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Argo-Tech Corporation which designs,
manufactures and distributes fuel flow related products found on a planes
airframe, aerial refueling systems, ground fueling system valves and related
components and industrial marine cryogenic pumps for transferring liquefied
natural gas.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on
operating profit before amortization of goodwill, deferred financing fees
and other identified intangibles, interest expense, interest income, other
miscellaneous fees and income taxes.

The following table presents revenues and other financial information by

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

Argo-Tech Corporation is a leading designer, manufacturer and servicer
of high performance fuel flow devices for the aerospace industry providing a
broad range of products and services to substantially all commercial and
domestic military engine and airframe manufacturers, to airlines worldwide and
to the U.S. and certain foreign militaries. Argo-Tech is the worlds leading
supplier of main engine fuel pumps to the commercial aircraft industry and a
leading supplier of airframe products and aerial refueling systems. Argo-Tech is
also a leading manufacturer of components for ground fueling systems.

The following is managements discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected Argo-Techs financial position and
operating results during the periods presented in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements. Argo-Techs fiscal year ends on the last
Saturday of October and is identified according to the calendar year in which it
ends.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE 13 WEEK PERIOD ENDED JULY 29, 2000 COMPARED WITH
THE 13 WEEK PERIOD ENDED JULY 31, 1999

Net revenues for the 13 week period ended July 29, 2000 decreased $6.5
million, or 14.6%, to $38.0 million from $44.5 million for the 13 week period
ended July 31,1999. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in aerospace
revenues of $6.9 million offset by a $0.4 million increase in industrial and
other revenues. The decrease in aerospace revenues was attributable to a
decrease of $3.9 million of commercial aerospace revenues and $3.0 million in
military revenues. Commercial OEM revenues decreased $2.7 million,

or 25.7%, to $7.8 million and commercial aftermarket revenues decreased $1.2
million, or 6.1%, to $18.5 million in the 13 week period ended July 29, 2000.
Commercial OEM revenues declined as a result of lower aircraft build rates and
lower exchange pump sales. Commercial aftermarket revenues were lower primarily
due to a decrease in the demand by airlines for spare pumps used for initial
provisioning purposes and a slight reduction in repair and overhaul services. A
decrease in demand for spare parts from an international distributor was offset
by an increase in demand from domestic airlines and third party repair
facilities. Military revenues decreased primarily due to lower sales on the
F-100, F-110 and AE2100 main engine programs and the F-18E/F 480 gallon fuel
tank, together with lower engineering revenues related to the F-22 and JSF
programs. Industrial revenues included an increase in ground fueling revenues of
$1.2 million, or 40.0%, to $4.2 million, primarily related to the August 1999
acquisition of Durodyne, Inc. and Heritage Business Park revenues of $0.3
million, or 23.1%, to $1.5 million offset by a decrease in cryogenic product
revenues of $1.1 million, or 47.8%, to $1.2 million.

Gross profit for the 13 week period ended July 29, 2000 decreased $2.4
million, or 12.2%, to $17.2 million from $19.6 million in the 13 week period
ended July 31, 1999. Gross margin increased to 45.3% for the 13 week period
ended July 29, 2000 from 44.0% in the 13 week period ended July 31, 1999. The
decrease in gross profit is primarily due to the decrease in aerospace revenues,
while the increase in gross margin is attributable to a favorable sales mix of
aerospace products.

Operating expenses for the 13 week period ended July 29, 2000 decreased
$2.4 million, or 20.9%, to $9.1 million from $11.5 million in the 13 week period
ended July 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily due to the non-recurrence of the
$0.8 million industrial product liability settlement agreement and reduced
general and administrative and research and development expenses. Operating
expenses as a percent of revenues were 23.9% for the 13 week period ended July
29, 2000 as compared to 25.8% for the 13 week period ended July 31, 1999.

Income from operations was $8.1 million for both of the 13 week periods
ended July 29, 2000 and July 31,1999. As a percent of revenues, income from
operations for the 13 week period ended July 29, 2000 increased to 21.3% from
18.2% for the 13 week period ended July 31, 1999. The increase was due to the
favorable sales mix of aerospace products and decreased operating expenses.

Interest expense was $6.5 million for both of the 13 week periods ended
July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999 due to lower outstanding borrowings offset by
higher interest rates on the term loans.

The income tax provision for the 13 week period ended July 29, 2000
increased $0.1 million, or 16.7%, to $0.7 million from $0.6 million in the 13
week period ended July 31, 1999. This increase is due to the effect of lower
non-deductible compensation expense associated with the Employee Stock Ownership
Plan offset by the reduced benefit associated with exercised stock options as
compared to the 13 week period ended July 31, 1999.

Net income for the 13 week period ended July 29, 2000 decreased $0.2
million, or 18.2%, to $0.9 million from $1.1 million for the 13 week period
ended July 31, 1999 primarily due to the revenue and expense factors discussed
above.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE 39 WEEK PERIOD ENDED JULY 29, 2000 COMPARED WITH
THE 39 WEEK PERIOD ENDED JULY 31, 1999

Net revenues for the 39 week period ended July 29, 2000 decreased $15.1
million, or 11.7%, to $113.6 million from $128.7 million for the 39 week period
ended July 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in aerospace
revenues of $17.9 million offset by a $2.8 million increase in industrial and
other revenues. The decrease in aerospace revenues was attributable to a
decrease of $14.3 million of commercial aerospace revenues and $3.6 million in
military revenues. Commercial OEM revenues decreased $5.4 million,

or 18.3%, to $24.1 million and commercial aftermarket revenues decreased $8.9
million, or 14.9%, to $51.0 million in the 39 week period ended July 31, 2000.
Commercial OEM revenues declined as a result of lower aircraft build rates and
lower exchange pump sales, while commercial aftermarket revenues were lower
primarily due to a decrease in the demand from an international distributor and
a decrease in repair and overhaul services. The distributor reduced its demand
to adjust inventories that had accumulated as a result of lower orders for JT8
and JT9 spare parts during the last half of fiscal year 1999 and in response to
lower demand by airlines for spare pumps used for initial provisioning purposes.
Military revenues decreased due to reductions in F-15 foreign military sales and
the AE2100 main engine program along with lower engineering revenues primarily
related to the F-22 and JSF programs, which were partially offset by an increase
in sales of KC-135 aerial refueling components. Industrial revenues included an
increase in ground fueling revenues of $3.7 million, or 38.5%, to $13.3 million,
primarily related to the August 1999 acquisition of Durodyne, Inc. and Heritage
Business Park revenues $0.3 million, or 7.9%, to $4.1 million. A reduction in
demand for cryogenic products led to a decline in revenues of $1.2 million, or
29.3%, to $2.9 million.

Gross profit for the 39 week period ended July 29, 2000 decreased $11.4
million, or 19.5%, to $47.1 million from $58.5 million in the 39 week period
ended July 31, 1999. Gross margin decreased to 41.5% for the 39 week period
ended July 29, 2000 from 45.5% in the 39 week period ended July 31, 1999. The
decrease in gross profit is primarily due to the decrease in aerospace revenues,
while the decrease in gross margin is attributable to an unfavorable sales mix
of aerospace products.

Operating expenses for the 39 week period ended July 29, 2000 decreased
$4.6 million, or 13.4%, to $29.7 million from $34.3 million in the 39 week
period ended July 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily attributable to the
non-recurrence of the $2.8 million non-cash compensation expense associated with
the vesting of stock options and stock appreciation rights in connection with
the repurchase of common stock from AT Holdings largest shareholder on January
4, 1999 and the $0.8 million industrial product liability settlement agreement.
Additionally, there has been a decrease of general and administrative expenses
of $1.4 million, which was offset by a $0.4 million increase in research and
development expense. Operating expenses as a percent of revenues were 26.1% for
the 39 week period ended July 29, 2000 as compared to 26.7% for the 39 week
period ended July 31, 1999.

Income from operations for the 39 week period ended July 29, 2000
decreased $6.8 million, or 28.1%, to $17.4 million from $24.2 million in the 39
week period ended July 31, 1999. As a percent of revenues, income from
operations for the 39 week period ended July 29, 2000 decreased to 15.3% from
18.8% for the 39 week period ended July 31, 1999. These decreases were due to
lower aerospace revenues and an unfavorable sales mix of aerospace products
offset by the decrease in operating expenses due to the non-recurrence of the
$2.8 million non-cash compensation expense associated with the vesting of stock
options and stock appreciation rights in connection with the repurchase of
common stock from AT Holdings largest shareholder and the $0.8 million
industrial product liability settlement agreement. Additionally, there has been
a decrease of general and administrative expenses of $1.4 million, which was
offset by an increase in research and development expense.

Interest expense for the 39 week period ended July 29, 2000 increased
$0.7 million, or 3.8%, to $19.2 million from $18.5 million for the 39 week
period ended July 31, 1999 primarily due to the issuance of $55.0 million of
8.625% senior subordinated notes issued in December 1999 in connection with the
repurchase of common stock of AT Holdings from its largest shareholder on
January 4, 1999 and higher interest rates on the term loans, partially offset by
lower term loan borrowings.

The income tax provision for the 39 week period ended July 29, 2000
decreased $3.8 million to a benefit of $0.7 million from an expense of $3.1
million in the 39 week period ended July 31, 1999. This decrease is due to a
pre-tax loss of $1.6 million for the 39 week period ended July 29, 2000 as
compared to pre-tax income of $6.0 million and the effect of the non-deductible
compensation expense on the vesting of stock options and stock appreciation
rights.

Net income for the 39 week period ended July 29, 2000 decreased $3.8
million, to a loss of $0.9 million compared to income of $2.9 million for the 39
week period ended July 31, 1999 primarily due to the revenue and expense factors
discussed above.

FLUCTUATIONS OF OPERATING RESULTS; LIMITATION OF QUARTERLY COMPARISONS

Argo-Techs results of operations are subject to fluctuations from
quarter to quarter due to changes in demand for its products, changes in product
mix and other factors. Demand for its products can vary from quarter to quarter
due to changes in demand for, and timing of deliveries of, OEM, aftermarket and
military products and services. In particular, the timing of Argo-Techs
aftermarket sales tends not to occur on a predictable schedule and, furthermore,
the sales tend to occur in large quantities that can significantly impact
quarterly comparisons. Accordingly, year-to-year and quarter-to-quarter
comparisons of quarterly results may not be meaningful, and quarterly results
during the year are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for any future period or for the entire year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Argo-Tech is a holding company that receives all of its operating
income from its subsidiaries. As a result, Argo-Techs primary source of
liquidity for conducting business activities and servicing its indebtedness has
been cash flows from operating activities.

Cash for the period ended July 29, 2000 decreased $0.3 million to $3.6
million. This was primarily due to the scheduled repayment of the term loans,
the purchase of stock from former employees and ESOP participants, an increase
in inventory and a decrease in accounts payable offset by operating income, a
decrease in accounts receivable, an increase in accrued and other liabilities
and an additional borrowing of long-term debt.

Capital expenditures for the 39 weeks ended July 29, 2000 totaled $1.5
million compared to $4.3 million for the 39 weeks ended July 31, 1999. Argo-Tech
expects to incur capital expenditures of approximately $2.0 million for the
remainder of fiscal year 2000, related to the continued maintenance of
facilities, equipment and systems to support current operating activities.

Long-term debt at July 29, 2000 consisted of $74.5 million principal
amount of term loans and $192.6 million principal amount of Senior Subordinated
Notes. A scheduled payment of $7.0 million was made on the term loans and $8.0
million was paid on the revolving credit facility. Argo-Tech has available,
after $1.1 million of letters of credit, an $18.9 million revolving credit
facility. As of July 29, 2000, there were no outstanding borrowings on the
revolving credit facility. The credit facility contains no restrictions on the
ability of Argo-Techs subsidiaries to make distributions to Argo-Tech.

On June 9, 2000, certain financial ratios and tests for the remainder
of the credit facility were amended, primarily to adjust for the additional
interest expense and debt associated with the $55.0 million of 8.625% senior
subordinated notes that were issued on December 17, 1999. In addition, the
supplemental percentage of interest applied to an Alternate Base Rate or LIBOR,
as chosen by the Company, was increased .25% when the leverage ratio, as defined
by the ratio of total debt to EBITDA, exceeds a multiple of 5.0 times and .50%
when the leverage ratio exceeds a multiple of 5.5 times.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

From time to time, information provided by Argo-Tech, statements by its
employees or information included in its filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (including those portions of the Managements Discussion and
Analysis that refer to the future) may contain forward-looking statements that
are not historical facts. Those statements are forward-looking within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
forward-looking statements, and the Companys future performance, operating
results, financial position and liquidity, are subject to a variety of factors
that could materially affect results. Some, but not necessarily all, of these
factors include: Argo-Techs dependence on the aerospace industry; government
regulation and oversight; defense spending; competition; product and
environmental liabilities; and risks associated with its workforce, suppliers,
and future acquisitions.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK


In the ordinary course of operations, Argo-Techs major market risk
exposure is to changing interest rates. Argo-Techs exposure to changes in
interest rates relates primarily to its long-term debt obligations. At July 29,
2000, Argo-Tech has fixed rate debt totaling $195 million, including $2.5
million of accretion, at 8.625% and variable rate debt under its existing credit
facility of $74.5 million calculated at Argo-Techs choice using an alternate
base rate (ABR) or LIBOR, plus a supplemental percentage determined by the ratio
of debt to EBITDA. The variable rate is not to exceed ABR plus 1.50% or LIBOR
plus 2.50%. In order to reduce variable interest rate exposure on borrowings
under its existing credit facility, Argo-Tech has three interest rate swap
agreements on a portion of the variable rate debt which fix the rate on the
notional amounts of $10.0 million at 6.08%, 6.10% and 6.805%, respectively. In
order to reduce fixed interest rate exposure on borrowings under its fixed rate
debt, Argo-Tech entered into a reverse rate swap agreement on March 17, 2000 on
the notional amount of $100.0 million at 6.38%. Argo-Tech does not enter into
derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. A 10% fluctuation in
interest rates would not materially affect Argo-Techs financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
