ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
                FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Fairchild Corporation was incorporated in October 1969, under the laws
of the State of Delaware.  We own 100% of RHI Holdings, Inc. and Banner
Aerospace, Inc. RHI is the owner of 100% of Fairchild Holding Corp. Our
principal operations are conducted through Fairchild Holding Corp. and Banner
Aerospace.

     The following discussion and analysis provide information which management
believes is relevant to the assessment and understanding of our consolidated
results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

GENERAL

     We are a leading worldwide aerospace and industrial fastener manufacturer
and distribution supply chain services provider and, through Banner Aerospace,
an international supplier to airlines and general aviation businesses,
distributing a wide range of aircraft parts and related support services.
Through internal growth and strategic acquisitions, we have become one of the
leading suppliers of fasteners to aircraft OEMs, such as Boeing, European
Aeronautic Defense and Space Company, General Electric, Lockheed Martin, and
Northrop Grumman.

     Our business consists of three segments: aerospace fasteners, aerospace
distribution and real estate operations. The aerospace fasteners segment
manufactures and markets high performance fastening systems used in the
manufacture and maintenance of commercial and military aircraft. Our aerospace
distribution segment stocks and distributes a wide variety of aircraft parts to
commercial airlines and air cargo carriers, fixed-base operators, corporate
aircraft operators and other aerospace companies. Our real estate operations
segment owns and operates a shopping center located in Farmingdale, New York.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

     Certain statements in this financial discussion and analysis by management
contain certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to our financial
condition, results of operation and business. These statements relate to
analyses and other information, which are based on forecasts of future results
and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements also relate to
our future prospects, developments and business strategies. These
forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such
as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may,"
"plan," "predict," "project," "will" and similar terms and phrases, including
references to assumptions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, including current trend information, projections for deliveries,
backlog and other trend estimates, that may cause our actual future activities
and results of operations to be materially different from those suggested or
described in this financial discussion and analysis by management. These risks
include: product demand; our dependence on the aerospace industry; reliance on
Boeing and European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company; customer satisfaction
and quality issues; labor disputes; competition, including recent intense price
competition; our ability to achieve and execute internal business plans;
worldwide political instability and economic growth; reduced passenger miles
flown as a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United
States; the cost and availability of electric power to operate our plants; and
the impact of any economic downturns and inflation.

     If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materializes, or if
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially
from those expected, estimated or projected. Given these uncertainties, users of
the information included in this financial discussion and analysis by
management, including investors and prospective investors are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We do not intend to
update the forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report, even if
new information, future events or other circumstances have made them incorrect
or misleading.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     On December 12, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Release
No. 33-8040, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting
Policies." Critical accounting policies are those that involve subjective or
complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates. In response
to Release No. 33-8040, we reviewed our accounting policies. The following areas
require the use of judgments and estimates: the valuation of long-lived assets,
pension and postretirement benefits, deferred income taxes, environmental and
litigation accruals and revenue recognition. Estimates in each of these areas
are based on historical experience and a variety of assumptions that we believe
are appropriate. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

     Valuation of Long-Lived Assets: We review our long-lived assets for
impairment, including property, plant and equipment, and identifiable
intangibles with definite lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To
determine recoverability of our long-lived assets, we evaluate the probability
that future undiscounted net cash flows will be greater than the carrying amount
of our assets. Impairment is measured based on the difference between the
carrying amount of our assets and their estimated fair value.

     Pension and Postretirement Benefits: We have defined benefit pension plans
covering most of our employees. Employees in our foreign subsidiaries may
participate in local pension plans, for which our liability is in the aggregate
insignificant. Our funding policy is to make the minimum annual contribution
required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or local
statutory law. The accumulated benefit obligation for pensions and
postretirement benefits was determined using a discount rate of 7.125% at June
30, 2002 and 7.25% at June 30, 2001. The effect of such change resulted in an
increase to the accumulated benefit obligation in 2002. Assumed health care cost
trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for health care
plans. For measurement purposes, we assumed a 10.0% annual rate of increase in
the per capita claims cost of covered health care benefits for 2002. The rate
was assumed to decrease to 5.0% in 2003 and remain at that level thereafter.

     Deferred and Noncurrent Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes reflect the net
tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in
making this assessment. As of June 30, 2002, we have recorded $53.8 million of
noncurrent income tax liabilities, which includes additional tax and interest we
may be required to pay if our tax positions are not sustained with respect to
the sale of several businesses, and repayment with property, of debt under a
bank credit agreement in which both we and our subsidiaries were liable, is not
treated as tax free under Section 361 of the Internal revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.

      Environmental Matters: Our operations are subject to stringent government
imposed environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, the
discharge of materials into the environment and the generation, handling,
storage, transportation and disposal of waste and hazardous materials. To date,
such laws and regulations have not had a material effect on our financial
condition, results of operations, or net cash flows, although we have expended,
and can be expected to expend in the future, significant amounts for the
investigation of environmental conditions and installation of environmental
control facilities, remediation of environmental conditions and other similar
matters, particularly in our aerospace fasteners segment.

     In connection with our plans to dispose of certain real estate, we must
investigate environmental conditions and we may be required to take certain
corrective action prior or pursuant to any such disposition. In addition, we
have identified several areas of potential contamination related to other
facilities owned, or previously owned, by us, that may require us either to take
corrective action or to contribute to a clean-up. We are also a defendant in
certain lawsuits and proceedings seeking to require us to pay for investigation
or remediation of environmental matters, and we have been alleged to be a
potentially responsible party at various "superfund" sites. We believe that we
have recorded adequate reserves in our financial statements to complete such
investigation and take any necessary corrective actions or make any necessary
contributions. No amounts have been recorded as due from third parties,
including insurers, or set off against, any environmental liability, unless such
parties are contractually obligated to contribute and are not disputing such
liability.

     Legal Matters: We are involved in various other claims and lawsuits
incidental to our business. We, either on our own or through our insurance
carriers, are contesting these matters. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate resolution of the legal proceedings will not have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, future results of operations, or net cash
flows.

     Revenue Recognition: Sales and related costs are recognized upon shipment
of products and/or performance of services, when collection is probable. Sales
and related cost of sales on long-term contracts are recognized as products are
delivered and services performed, as determined by the percentage of completion
method. Lease and rental revenue are recognized on a straight-line basis over
the life of the lease. Shipping and handling amounts billed to customers are
classified as revenues.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Business Transactions

     The following summarizes certain business combinations and transactions we
completed which significantly affect the comparability of the period to period
results presented in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition.

   Fiscal 2000 Transactions

     On July 29, 1999, we sold our 31.9% interest in Nacanco Paketleme to
American National Can Group, Inc. for approximately $48.2 million. Our
investment in Nacanco began in November 1987, and throughout the years we
invested approximately $6.2 million in Nacanco. Since the inception of our
investment, we recorded equity earnings of $25.7 million and received cash
dividends of $12.5 million from Nacanco. We recognized a $25.7 million
nonrecurring gain from this divestiture in the nine months ended April 2, 2000.
We also agreed to provide consulting services over a three-year period, at an
annual fee of approximately $1.5 million. We used the net proceeds from the
disposition to reduce our indebtedness. As a result of this disposition, our
interest expense was reduced. However, our equity earnings and dividend proceeds
also significantly decreased. In accordance with our plan to dispose of non-core
assets, the opportunity to dispose of our interest in Nacanco Paketleme
presented us with an excellent opportunity to realize a substantial return on
our investment and allowed us to reduce our then outstanding indebtedness by
approximately 8.6%.

     On September 3, 1999, we completed the disposal of our Camloc Gas Springs
division to a subsidiary of Arvin Industries Inc. for approximately $2.7
million. In addition, we received $2.4 million from Arvin Industries for a
covenant not to compete. We recognized a $2.0 million nonrecurring pre-tax gain
from this disposition. We decided to dispose of the Camloc Gas Springs division
in order to concentrate our focus on our operations in the aerospace industry.

     On December 1, 1999, we disposed of substantially all of the assets and
certain liabilities of our Dallas Aerospace subsidiary to United Technologies
Inc. for approximately $57.0 million. No gain or loss was recognized from this
transaction, as the proceeds received approximated the net carrying value of
these assets. Approximately $37.0 million of the proceeds from this disposition
were used to reduce our bank term indebtedness and our interest expense. As a
result of this transaction, we reported a reduction in revenues of $21.7 million
and operating income of $2.1 million for the nine months ended April 1, 2001, as
compared to the nine months ended April 2, 2000. We estimated that the market
base for the older-type of engines that we were selling was shrinking, and that
we would be required to invest a substantial amount of cash to purchase
newer-type of engines to maintain market share. The opportunity to exit this
business presented us with an opportunity to improve cash flows by reducing our
indebtedness by $37.0 million, and by preserving our cash, which would otherwise
have had to have been invested to upgrade our inventory.

     On April 13, 2000, we completed a spin-off to our stockholders of the
shares of Fairchild (Bermuda) Ltd. On April 14, 2000, Fairchild (Bermuda) sold
to Convac Technologies Ltd. the Optical Disc Equipment Group business formerly
owned by Fairchild Technologies. Subsequently, on April 14, 2000, Fairchild
(Bermuda), renamed Global Sources Ltd., completed an exchange of approximately
95% of its shares for 100% of the shares of Trade Media Holdings Limited, an
Asian based, business-to-business online and traditional marketplace services
provider. Immediately after the share exchange, our stockholders owned 1,183,081
shares of the 26,152,308 issued shares of Global Sources. Global Sources shares
are listed on the NASDAQ under the symbol "GSOL". This transaction allowed us to
complete our formal plan to dispose of Fairchild Technologies and provided our
shareholders with a unique opportunity to participate in a new public entity.

  Consolidated Results

     We currently report in three principal business segments: aerospace
fasteners, aerospace distribution and real estate operations. The results of
Camloc Gas Springs division, prior to its disposition, were included in the
Corporate and Other classification. The following table provides the historical
sales and operating income of our operations for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000. The
following table also illustrates sales and operating income of our operations by
segment, on an unaudited pro forma basis, for fiscal 2000, as if we had operated
in a consistent manner in each of the reported periods. The pro forma results
represent the impact of our dispositions of Dallas Aerospace in December 1999
and Camloc Gas Springs in September 1999, as if these transactions had occurred
at the beginning of fiscal 2000. The pro forma information is based on the
historical financial statements of these companies, giving effect to the
aforementioned transactions. The pro forma information is not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations, that would actually have occurred if
these transactions had been in effect since the beginning of fiscal 2000, nor is
it necessarily indicative of our future results.

</TABLE>

     Net sales of $624.1 million in 2002 increased by $1.3 million, or 0.2%,
compared to sales of $622.8 million in 2001. Results for the 2001 included
revenue of $8.4 million from an operation in our aerospace distribution segment,
which was shut down in June 2001. Excluding the results of the shut down
operation, net sales would have increased by $9.7 million, or 1.6%, in 2002, as
compared to 2001. Sales in 2002 reflected growth at our aerospace fasteners
segment due to strong order activity prior to September 11, 2001. Net sales of
$622.8 million in 2001 decreased by $12.6 million, or 2.0%, compared to sales of
$635.4 million in 2000. The results for 2000, included revenue of $22.4 million
from Dallas Aerospace and the Camloc Gas Springs division prior to their
respective dispositions. On a pro forma basis, adjusting for the 2000
dispositions, net sales increased by $9.9 million for 2001, as compared to 2000.

    Rental revenue was $6.7 million in 2002, $7.0 million in 2001, and $3.6
million in 2000. Rental revenue decreased slightly in 2002, due to a decrease in
the amount of space leased to tenants during the year. Rental revenue was higher
in the 2001 and 2000 periods due to an increase in the amount of space leased to
tenants.

     Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 24.3%, 25.1%, and 25.7% in 2002,
2001, and 2000, respectively. The changes in gross margin in 2002 are
attributable primarily to a higher volume of sales of lower margin products. The
changes in gross margin in 2001 are attributable to a change in product mix as a
result of dispositions.

     Selling, general & administrative expense as a percentage of sales was
20.6%, 20.1%, and 20.6%, in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

     Other income decreased $0.9 million in 2002, as compared to 2001, and was
offset partially by income recognized from the disposition of future royalty
revenues to an unaffiliated third party in exchange for promissory notes secured
by $12.8 million face value of our outstanding 10 3/4% senior subordinated
debentures due 2009 acquired by the third party. Other income decreased $4.9
million in 2001, as compared to 2000. The decrease in 2001 was due primarily to
$5.1 million of income recognized from the disposition of non-core property in
2000, and a $0.7 million loss recognized from the disposition of non-core
property during 2001.

     An impairment charge of $3.4 million and $5.9 million was recorded in 2002
and 2001, respectively. The fiscal 2002 impairment charge included $3.0 million
to write down the long-lived assets of a small airframe component manufacturing
operation at our aerospace fasteners segment that we are attempting to sell and
$0.4 million to write-off of former tenant improvements at our shopping center.
The fiscal 2001 impairment charge included $2.4 million due to the closing of a
small subsidiary at our aerospace distribution segment, of which $1.7 million
represented the write-off of goodwill, and $0.4 million represented severance
payments. Additionally, the fiscal 2001 impairment charge also included a
write-off of approximately $2.4 million of improvements at our shopping center,
and a $1.1 million for the write-off of leasehold improvements from the
relocation of our domestic distribution facility in our aerospace fasteners
segment.

     In fiscal 2000, we recorded $8.6 million of restructuring charges as a
result of the integration of Kaynar Technologies, acquired in April 1999, into
our aerospace fasteners segment. All of the charges recorded were a direct
result of product and plant integration costs incurred as of June 30, 2000.
These costs were classified as restructuring and were the direct result of
formal plans to move equipment, close plants and to terminate employees. Such
costs are nonrecurring in nature. Other than a reduction in our existing cost
structure, none of the restructuring charges resulted in future increases in
earnings or represented an accrual of future costs.

     Operating income of $26.8 million in 2002 increased $5.5 million, or 26.0%,
compared to operating income of $21.3 million in 2001. The 2001 results included
goodwill amortization of $12.5 million, prior to the implementation of a new
accounting pronouncement that eliminates goodwill amortization in the 2002
period. Operating income of $21.3 million in 2001 decreased by $1.9 million as
compared to operating income of $23.2 million in 2000. The results in fiscal
2000 included $2.1 million of operating income from Dallas Aerospace, prior to
its disposition and $5.1 million of income recognized from the disposition of
non-core property, offset partially by restructuring charges of $7.5 million.
Operating income in fiscal 2001 was adversely affected by the impairment charge
of $5.9 million.

     Net interest expense decreased by $9.0 million, or 16.1%, and cash interest
expense decreased by $5.8 million in fiscal 2002, as compared to fiscal 2001,
due primarily to lower interest rates on our variable rate debt. Net interest
expense increased $11.6 million in fiscal 2001 as compared to fiscal 2000.
However, cash interest expense of $50.5 million in 2001 actually decreased by
$4.1 million, as compared to cash interest expense of $54.5 million in 2000. We
recognized interest expense of $3.5 million in 2001, as compared to $1.0 million
in 2000, resulting from $30.8 million borrowed in March 2000, and we capitalized
$5.8 million of interest expense in fiscal 2000 from real estate development
activities at our shopping center in Farmingdale, New York.

     We recorded a net investment loss of $1.0 million in 2002, and investment
income of $8.4 million in 2001 and $9.9 million in 2000. The investment results
in fiscal 2002 included a $2.3 million write down for impaired investments and a
$0.8 million loss on investments sold, offset partially by $1.6 million of
dividend income and a $0.5 million increase in the fair market value of trading
securities. Investment income in 2001 and 2000 was due primarily to recognition
of gains on investments liquidated.

     The fair market value adjustment of our position in a ten-year $100 million
interest rate contract decreased by $4.6 million in fiscal 2002 and $5.6 million
in 2001. The fair market value adjustment of this agreement will generally
fluctuate, based on the implied forward interest rate curve for 3-month LIBOR.
If the implied forward interest rate curve decreases, the fair market value of
the interest hedge contract will increase and we will record an additional
charge. If the implied forward interest rate curve increases, the fair market
value of the interest hedge contract will decrease, and we will record income.

    Nonrecurring income of $28.6 million in fiscal 2000 resulted from $25.7
million, $2.0 million, and $0.9 million gains recognized on the disposition of
our equity investment in Nacanco Paketleme, our Camloc Gas Springs division and
a smaller equity investment, respectively.

     We recorded an income tax benefit of $15.4 million in fiscal 2002,
representing a 60.3% effective tax rate benefit on pre-tax losses from
continuing operations. The tax benefit was higher than the statutory rate due
primarily to the reversal of $14.0 million of tax accruals no longer required.
We recorded an income tax benefit of $16.5 million in fiscal 2001, representing
a 52.3% effective tax rate on pre-tax losses from continuing operations. The tax
benefit was higher than the statutory rate due primarily to the reversal of $3.5
million of tax accruals no longer required. We recorded an income tax benefit of
$4.4 million in fiscal 2000 on earnings from continuing operations of $17.7
million. A tax benefit was recorded due primarily to a change in the estimate of
required tax accruals.

     Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased by $0.2 million in 2002,
compared to 2001 and improved by $0.5 million in 2001 compared to 2000. The
decrease in 2002 reflected $0.1 million of equity losses in 2002 as compared to
equity income of $0.1 million in 2001. The improvement in 2001 was attributable
primarily to $0.1 million of income in 2001, as compared to $0.3 million of
losses from small start-up ventures in 2000.

     In 1998, we adopted a formal plan to discontinue Fairchild Technologies. In
connection with the adoption of such plan, we recorded an after-tax charge of
$12.0 million and $31.3 million, in discontinued operations, in fiscal 2000 and
1999, respectively. The fiscal 1999 after-tax operating loss from Fairchild
Technologies exceeded the June 1998 estimate recorded for expected losses by
$28.6 million, net of an income tax benefit of $8.1 million, through June 1999.
An additional after-tax charge of $2.8 million, net of an income tax benefit of
$2.4 million, was recorded in fiscal 1999, for estimated remaining losses in
connection with the disposition of Fairchild Technologies. The fiscal 2000
after-tax loss in connection with the final disposition of the remaining
operations of Fairchild Technologies exceeded anticipated losses by $20.0
million, net of an income tax benefit of $8.0 million.

     In 2002, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $144.6 million from
the implementation of SFAS No. 142, presented as a cumulative effect of change
in accounting, as of the beginning of our fiscal year. All of the impairment
charge relates to the three operating units within our aerospace fasteners
segment. No tax effect was recognized on the change in accounting for goodwill.
Instead of amortizing goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an
indefinite life, goodwill will be tested for impairment annually, or immediately
if conditions indicate that such an impairment could exist. All of our goodwill
has been deemed to have an indefinite life, and as a result of adopting SFAS No.
142, we ceased amortizing goodwill. Prior to the implementation of SFAS No. 142,
we recognized amortization expense for goodwill of $12.5 million and $12.6
million, in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

     Comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation
adjustments and unrealized holding changes in the fair market value of
available-for-sale investment securities. The fair market value of
available-for-sale securities, on an after-tax basis, declined by $0.6 million,
$1.0 million, and $4.0 million, in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The
changes in 2001 and 2000 reflect primarily gains realized from the liquidation
of investments. Foreign currency translation adjustments improved by $21.6
million in 2002, which reflected the strengthening of the EURO to the U.S.
Dollar. Foreign currency translation adjustments decreased by $24.5 million, and
$10.1 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively, due to the strengthening of the
U.S. Dollar against the EURO.

     We are currently evaluating a change in our method of accounting for our
inventory costing at two of our domestic aerospace fasteners manufacturing
operations from the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method, to the first-in,
first-out ("FIFO") method. Inventories accounted for using the LIFO method
represented only 15.6% of our total inventory. If we were to implement this
change in method of inventory costing we will be required to retroactively
restate our financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2000 and June 30,
2001, which were audited by Arthur Andersen LLP. Since Arthur Andersen is no
longer issuing audit opinions, our current auditors would be required to reaudit
our financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 2001.

     We adopted SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" on July 1, 2000. At adoption, we recorded within other comprehensive
income, a decrease of $0.5 million in the fair market value of our $100 million
interest rate swap agreement. The $0.5 million decrease will be amortized over
the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreement using the effective
interest method. The offsetting interest rate swap liability is separately being
reported as a "fair market value of interest rate contract" within other
long-term liabilities. In the statement of earnings we have recorded the net
swap interest accrual as part of interest expense. Unrealized changes in the
fair value of the swap are recorded net of the current interest accrual on a
separate line entitled "decrease in fair market value of interest rate
derivatives."

   Segment Results

  Aerospace Fasteners Segment

     Sales in our Aerospace Fasteners segment increased by $23.9 million, or
4.4%, in 2002, as compared 2001. The improvement reflected internal growth,
which was partially offset by a reduction in deliveries in the third and fourth
quarters due to retrenchment in the aerospace industry following the September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Our backlog decreased by $42.1 million in 2002, to
$177.9 million at June 30, 2002. Our book-to-bill ratio was 91.6% in fiscal
2002, reflecting the softening of new orders following September 11, 2001. Sales
in our Aerospace Fasteners segment increased by $3.3 million, or 0.6%, in 2001,
as compared to 2000. Sales by our European operations were adversely affected by
approximately $24.4 million in 2001, compared to 2000, due to the foreign
currency impact from the U.S. dollar strengthening against the Euro.

     Operating income increased by $4.6 million, or 12.4%, in 2002, as compared
to 2001. The improvement in 2002 was due primarily to the increase in sales and
related economies of scale and the adoption, as of July 1, 2001, of a new
accounting pronouncement that does not require us to amortize goodwill. Goodwill
amortization of $11.3 million was recorded in 2001. We also recorded an
impairment charge of $3.0 million to write down the long-lived assets of a small
airframe manufacturing operation at our aerospace fasteners segment, that we are
attempting to sell. Operating income increased by $3.1 million in 2001, compared
to 2000. The increase was due primarily to productivity improvements from cost
reduction efforts, offset partially by reduced gross margins resulting from
pricing pressures. Operating income in 2001 was adversely affected by
approximately $3.2 million due to the foreign currency impact on our European
operations.

     Announcements by our major customers have reinforced our view that
projected aircraft build rates will be adversely affected by decreased worldwide
demand for travel following September 11, 2001. Accordingly, we believe overall
demand for aerospace fasteners will decrease during the remainder of calendar
2002, and our business will be affected by this decreased demand. Nevertheless,
we also believe the impact on our business will be partially offset by the
supply chain service programs we entered into during the past several years and
by the decrease in fastener inventory available to OEMs and distributors.

     We have decided to sell our Fairchild Fasteners business for approximately
$657 million in cash to Alcoa Inc. The sale, which is expected to close before
November 30, 2002, is subject to customary conditions, including regulatory
approvals, the tendering of over 50% of our 10 3/4% senior subordinated
debentures due April 2009, and the approval of our shareholders (See Item 8,
Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Aerospace Distribution Segment

     Sales in our aerospace distribution segment decreased by $22.6 million in
2002, compared to 2001. Results in 2001, included revenue of $8.4 million from
an operation which was shut down in June 2001. Sales in 2002 were also adversely
affected due to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Sales in our
aerospace distribution segment decreased by $15.1 million, or 14.9%, in fiscal
2001, compared to fiscal 2000. Results from fiscal 2000 included revenue of
$21.7 million from Dallas Aerospace, prior to its disposition. On a pro forma
basis, sales increased $6.6 million, or 8.3%, in 2001 compared to 2000, which
reflected an overall improvement in demand for our products prior to September
11, 2001.

     Operating income increased by $0.1 million in 2002, as compared to 2001.
The results in 2002 were affected by the reduction in revenue. Operating income
in 2001 included asset impairment charges of $3.1 million due to the closing of
Banner Aircraft Services, which also had operating losses of $3.9 million in
2001. Operating income in our aerospace distribution segment decreased by $5.3
million in 2001, compared to 2000. The results for 2000, included operating
income of $2.1 million from Dallas Aerospace, prior to its disposition.

Real Estate Operations Segment

     Our real estate operations segment owns and operates a 456,000 square foot
shopping center located in Farmingdale, New York. We have two tenants that each
occupy more than 10% of the rentable space of the shopping center. Rental
revenue was $6.7 million in 2002, $7.0 million in 2001, and $3.6 million in
2000. Rental revenue decreased slightly in 2002, due to a decrease in the
average per square foot amount charged to tenants, as compared to 2001. Rental
revenue was higher in the 2001, as compared to 2000, due to an increase in the
amount of space leased to tenants. The weighted average occupancy rate of the
shopping center was 76.9%, 74.4% and 48.9% in 2002, 2001, and 2000,
respectively. The average effective annual rental rate per square foot was
$19.22, $20.91, and $16.23 in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. As of June 30,
2002, approximately 92% of the shopping center was leased. We anticipate that
rental income will increase during 2003, as a result of us entering to new
agreements, to lease approximately 54,000 square feet, shortly before the end of
2002.

      Operating income increased by $1.2 million in 2002, as compared to 2001.
In 2002, depreciation expense and real estate taxes increased by $0.5 million
and $0.2 million, respectively, as a result of an increased weighted-average
portion of the shopping center being placed into service in 2002. The results
for 2001 were adversely affected by one-time charge of $2.5 million to write-off
improvements at our shopping center. We reported an operating loss of $0.1
million for 2001, compared to operating income of $1.0 million in 2000. The
results of 2001 were also affected by an increase in administrative and
depreciation expenses as a result of the increase in rental revenue as compared
to 2000.

  Corporate Segment

     The corporate segment reported that operating results decreased by $0.3
million, or 1.9%, in 2002, as compared to 2001 and improved by $1.4 million, or
7.1% in 2001, as compared to 2000. Results from 2001 and 2000 included $3.1
million and $5.1 million, respectively, of gains recognized on the disposition
of non-core assets. Results in each of the three years ended June 30, 2002,
included consulting income of $1.5 million. The consulting agreement expired on
June 30, 2002 and no additional proceeds from this agreement will be received in
future years. The corporate segment included sales from the Gas Springs division
prior to its disposition in September 1999.



<PAGE>


FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Total capitalization as of June 30, 2002 and 2001 amounted to $719.8
million and $858.9 million, respectively. The changes in capitalization in 2002
included a decrease of $5.3 million in debt and $133.8 million in equity. The
decrease in debt reflected a $6.4 million decrease in short-term borrowings and
other debt, partially offset by a $1.2 million net increase in borrowings with
our primary lenders. The decrease in equity reflects the $144.6 million
cumulative effect of change in accounting for goodwill, and a $10.2 million loss
from continuing operations, offset partially by a $21.1 million increase in
cumulative other comprehensive income, which was due primarily to a $21.6
million favorable effect in foreign currency fluctuations.

     We maintain a portfolio of investments classified primarily as
available-for-sale securities, which had a fair market value of $5.9 million at
June 30, 2002. The market value of these investments decreased by $0.6 million
in 2002. There is risk associated with market fluctuations inherent in stock
investments, and because our portfolio is not diversified, changes in its value
may occur.

     Net cash provided by operating activities for 2002 was $18.8 million. The
working capital uses of cash in 2002 included a $29.4 million decrease in
accounts payable and other accrued liabilities and a $10.4 million increase in
other non-current assets, offset partially by a $10.6 million decrease in
accounts receivable, a $10.6 million decrease in other current assets and a $5.1
million decrease in inventory. The working capital uses of cash were offset by
$30.4 million of earnings after deducting non-cash expenses of $30.5 million for
depreciation, $2.1 million from the amortization of deferred loan fees, $144.6
million for the cumulative effect of change in accounting for goodwill, $3.4
million loss from impairments, and $4.6 million from the reduction in the fair
market value of an interest rate contract. Net cash used for operating
activities for fiscal 2001 was $39.5 million. The primary use of cash for
operating activities in 2001 was a $9.1 million increase in inventories, a
$117.7 million decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities,
offset partially by a $5.5 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $31.6
million increase in other current assets. Net cash used for operating activities
for 2000 was $67.1 million. In 2000, the primary use of cash for operating
activities was a $23.2 million increase in inventories, a $12.0 million decrease
in accounts payable, and a $25.2 million increase in other current assets.

     Net cash used for investing activities was $9.8 million in 2002. The
primary source of cash in 2002 was $8.0 million provided from the dispositions
of non-core real estate and net assets held for sale, offset by $11.9 million of
capital expenditures and a $5.6 increase in notes receivable. Net cash provided
from investing activities for 2001 was $4.1 million, and included $16.4 million
in proceeds received from the dispositions of investments, and $4.6 million in
proceeds received from the disposition of property, offset by capital
expenditures of $16.4 million. Net cash provided from investing activities for
2000 was $90.4 million, and included $108.8 million in proceeds received from
the dispositions of Dallas Aerospace, our Gas Springs division and our
investment in Nacanco Paketleme, and $12.0 million in proceeds received from the
condemnation of property. This was slightly offset by cash of $27.3 million used
for capital expenditures and $27.7 million for real estate investments.

     Net cash used for financing activities in 2002 included a $9.6 million
decrease in debt. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2001 was $15.4
million, and included a $14.7 million net issuance of additional debt used to
fund operations. Net cash used for financing activities in 2000 was $41.4
million. The primary use of cash for financing activities in 2000 was $39.4
million used to reduce debt.

     At June 30, 2002, $5.6 million of promissory notes were due to us from an
unaffiliated third party, which are included in notes receivable. The promissory
notes earn $1.4 million of annual cash interest and are being accreted to a face
value of $12.8 million through May 2006. The promissory notes are secured by
$12.8 million face value of our outstanding 10.75% senior subordinated
debentures due 2009 acquired by the third party. The third party may sell these
debentures for cash provided that it satisfies its obligation under its
promissory notes.

     Our principal cash requirements include debt service, capital expenditures,
and the payment of other liabilities including postretirement benefits,
environmental investigation and remediation obligations, and litigation
settlements and related costs. We expect that cash on hand, cash generated from
operations, cash available from borrowings and additional financing, and
proceeds received from dispositions of assets will be adequate to satisfy our
cash requirements during the next twelve months.

     We are required under the credit agreement with our senior lenders, to
comply with certain financial and non-financial loan covenants, including
maintaining certain interest and fixed charge coverage ratios and maintaining
certain indebtedness to EBITDA ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter. One
restrictive covenant is the interest coverage ratio, which represents the ratio
of EBITDA to interest expense, as defined in the credit agreement. At June 30,
2002, the interest coverage ratio was 2.32, which exceeded the minimum
requirement of 2.0. Our interest rates vary based upon the consolidated
indebtedness to EBITDA covenant, which represents the ratio of total debt to
EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement. On March 31, 2002 our indebtedness
to EBITDA ratio exceeded 5.0, and resulted in a 1/4% increase in our interest
rates under the credit agreement during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. On
June 30, 2002 our indebtedness to EBITDA ratio was 5.62, which was below the
maximum permitted ratio of 5.7. Additionally, the credit agreement restricts
annual capital expenditures to $40 million during the life of the facility. For
the year ended June 30, 2002, capital expenditures were $11.9 million. Except
for assets of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the credit agreement,
substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral under the credit
agreement. The credit agreement restricts the payment of dividends to our
shareholders to an aggregate of the lesser of $0.01 per share or $0.4 million
over the life of the agreement. Noncompliance with any of the financial
covenants without cure or waiver would constitute an event of default under the
credit agreement. An event of default resulting from a breach of a financial
covenant may result, at the option of lenders holding a majority of the loans,
in an acceleration of the principal and interest outstanding, and a termination
of the revolving credit line. At June 30, 2002, we were in compliance with the
covenants under the credit agreement.

     At June 30, 2002, we had contractual commitments to repay debt (including
capital lease obligations), and to make payments under operating leases. Our
long-term debt obligations are restricted by certain covenants that limit our
ability to encumber our assets. Payments due under these long-term obligations
are as follows:

     We have entered into standby letter of credit arrangements with insurance
companies and others, primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance
on certain contracts. At June 30, 2002, we had contingent liabilities of $18.0
million on commitments related to outstanding letters of credit.

     In addition, the Company has $17.8 million classified as other long-term
liabilities, which do not have specific payment terms or other similar
contractual arrangements.

     At June 30, 2002, we have $282.5 million of federal income tax loss
carryforwards expiring 2010 through 2022, and $3.2 million of unused alternative
minimum tax credit carryforward that does not expire. These federal income tax
loss carryforwards may be reduced by adjustments during the income tax audits of
1995 through 2002, which have not commenced. As the periods of assessment for
1995 to 1998 have expired, additional tax may be collected from us only for 1999
to 2002. Nonetheless, the tax losses of $68.3 million arising in 1995, 1997, and
1998 may still be reduced for determining the proper amount of net operating
loss available to be carried forward to years after 1998. The gain we reported
between 1995 and 2002, for federal income tax, may be significantly increased if
our tax positions are not sustained with respect to the sales of several
businesses; and the repayment with property, of debt under a bank credit
agreement in which both we and our subsidiaries were liable, is not treated as
tax free under Section 361 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If
all of these adjustments were made for 1995 to 2002, the federal income tax loss
carryforwards would be substantially reduced, and we may be required to pay
additional tax and interest of up to $74 million, which has already been
provided. The amount of additional tax and interest to be paid by the Company
depends on the amount of income tax audit adjustments, which are made and
sustained for 1995 to 2002. These adjustments, if any, would be made at a future
date, which is presently uncertain, and therefore we cannot predict the timing
of cash outflows. To the extent a favorable final determination of the recorded
tax liabilities occurs, appropriate adjustments will be made to decrease the
recorded tax liability in the year such favorable determination will occur. It
is presently uncertain when a final determination will occur since no Internal
Revenue Service audits of 1995 to 2002 have commenced.

Recent Developments

     On July 16, 2002 we announced that we signed a definitive agreement to sell
our aerospace fasteners business to Alcoa Inc., for approximately $657 million
in cash. The actual cash to be received from Alcoa is dependent upon a
post-closing adjustment based on the difference in net working capital between
March 31, 2002 and the closing date. We may also receive additional cash
proceeds up to $12.5 million per year, in an earnout formula based on the number
of Boeing and Airbus commercial aircraft deliveries during each of the calendar
years 2003-2006, inclusive. The sale, which is expected to close before November
30, 2002, is subject to customary conditions, including the approval of our
shareholders and bondholders. We will use a portion of the proceeds from the
sale to repay our bank debt and commence a tender offer at par to acquire all of
our outstanding $225 million, 10.75% senior subordinated notes, due in April,
2009. This tender offer will close concurrently with the closing of the sale to
Alcoa. The remaining proceeds from the sale will provide funds for new
acquisitions.

     The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has contacted us to understand the
impact of the sale of our aerospace fasteners business on our ability to fund
our long-term pension obligations. The PBGC has expressed concern that our
retirement plan will be underfunded by $86 million after the sale of our
aerospace fasteners business. We have provided the PBGC with information which
represented the underfunding to be $42 million, using the PBGC plan termination
assumptions. We currently anticipate that we will be required to make $17
million of plan contributions over the next five years, in the aggregate. We
have ongoing discussions with the PBGC and believe we will be able to resolve
this matter without any significant impact on our financial condition, although
we cannot make any assurances to you of that.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations". This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and
associated asset retirement costs. It applies to legal obligations associated
with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition,
construction, development, and normal operation of a long-lived asset, except
for certain obligations of leases. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002.

     In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-lived Assets," which supersedes SFAS No. 121. Though it retains
the basic requirements of SFAS 121 regarding when and how to measure an
impairment loss, SFAS 144 provides additional implementation guidance. SFAS 144
applies to long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of, including
assets under capital leases of lessees; assets subject to operating leases of
lessors; and prepaid assets. SFAS 144 also expands the scope of a discontinued
operation to include a component of an entity, and eliminates the current
exemption to consolidation when control over a subsidiary is likely to be
temporary. This statement is effective for our fiscal year beginning on July 1,
2002. Accordingly, we will account for the sale of the fastener business as a
discontinued operation in fiscal 2003.

     In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". This standard requires costs
associated with exit or disposal activities to be recognized when they are
incurred and applies prospectively to such activities initiated after December
31, 2002.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

      In fiscal 1998, we entered into a ten-year interest rate swap agreement to
reduce our cash flow exposure to increases in interest rates on variable rate
debt. The ten-year interest rate swap agreement provides us with interest rate
protection on $100 million of variable rate debt, with interest being calculated
based on a fixed LIBOR rate of 6.24% to February 17, 2003. On February 17, 2003,
the bank, with which we entered into the interest rate swap agreement, will have
a one-time option to elect to cancel the agreement or to do nothing and proceed
with the transaction, using a fixed LIBOR rate of 6.715% from February 17, 2003
to February 19, 2008.

     We did not elect to pursue hedge accounting for the interest rate swap
agreement, which was executed to provide an economic hedge against cash flow
variability on the floating rate note. When evaluating the impact of SFAS No.
133 on this hedge relationship, we assessed the key characteristics of the
interest rate swap agreement and the note. Based on this assessment, we
determined that the hedging relationship would not be highly effective. The
ineffectiveness is caused by the existence of the embedded written call option
in the interest rate swap agreement, and the absence of a mirror option in the
hedged item. As such, pursuant to SFAS No. 133, we designated the interest rate
swap agreement in the no hedging designation category. Accordingly, we have
recognized a non-cash decrease in fair market value of interest rate derivatives
of $4.6 million and $5.6 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively, as a result of
the fair market value adjustment for our interest rate swap agreement.

     The fair market value adjustment of these agreements will generally
fluctuate based on the implied forward interest rate curve for 3-month LIBOR. If
the implied forward interest rate curve decreases, the fair market value of the
interest hedge contract will increase and we will record an additional charge.
If the implied forward interest rate curve increases, the fair market value of
the interest hedge contract will decrease, and we will record income.

     In March 2000, the Company issued a floating rate note with a principal
amount of $30,750,000. Embedded within the promissory note agreement is an
interest rate cap. The embedded interest rate cap limits to 8.125%, the 1-month
LIBOR interest rate that we must pay on the note. At execution of the promissory
note, the strike rate of the embedded interest rate cap of 8.125% was above the
1-month LIBOR rate of 6.61%. Under SFAS 133, the embedded interest rate cap is
considered to be clearly and closely related to the debt of the host contract
and is not required to be separated and accounted for separately from the host
contract. In fiscal 2001, we accounted for the hybrid contract, comprised of the
variable rate note and the embedded interest rate cap, as a single debt
instrument.

     The table below provides information about our derivative financial
instruments and other financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in
interest rates, which include interest rate swaps. For interest rate swaps, the
table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by expected
(contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the
contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average
variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the
reporting date.

                Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors


To the Board of Directors of The Fairchild Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Fairchild
Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2002, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for the year then ended. Our audit also included the financial statement
schedule, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002, listed in the Index at
Item 14(a). These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our
audit. The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2001, and
the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2001 were audited
by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements in their report
dated September 7, 2001.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the 2002 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The Fairchild
Corporation and subsidiaries at June 30, 2002, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, effective July
1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."

                    Report of Independent Public Accountants

To The Fairchild Corporation:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The
Fairchild Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of June 30,
2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of earnings,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three years in the period ended June
30, 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the
financial statements of Nacanco Paketleme (see Note 6), an investment that was
sold in July 1999 and until then, was reflected in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The investment in
Nacanco Paketleme represented 1 percent of total assets as of June 30, 1999, and
the equity in its net income represented 11 percent of earnings from continuing
operations for the year ended June 30, 1999. The statements of Nacanco Paketleme
were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Nacanco Paketleme, is
based on the report of other auditors.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of The Fairchild Corporation and
subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

     Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. Schedules I and II in Item 14 of Part IV
of the Form 10-K is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements.
These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly state in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                   THE FAIRCHILD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 (In thousands, except share and per share data)

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     General: All references in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements to the terms "we," "our," "us," the "Company" and "Fairchild" refer
to The Fairchild Corporation and its subsidiaries.

     Corporate Structure:  The Fairchild Corporation was incorporated in
October 1969, under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Effective April 8, 1999,
we became the sole owner of Banner Aerospace, Inc. RHI Holdings, Inc. is our
direct subsidiary.  RHI is the owner of 100% of Fairchild Holding Corp.  Our
principal operations are conducted through Fairchild Holding Corp. and Banner
Aerospace. Our financial statements present the results of our former
Technologies segment as discontinued operations.

     Nature of Business Operations: We are a leading worldwide aerospace and
industrial fastener manufacturer and distribution supply chain services provider
and, through Banner Aerospace, an international supplier to airlines and general
aviation businesses, distributing a wide range of aircraft parts and related
support services. Through internal growth and strategic acquisitions, we have
become one of the leading suppliers of fasteners to aircraft OEMs, such as
Boeing, European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company, General Electric,
Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman.

     Our business consists of three segments: aerospace fasteners, aerospace
distribution and real estate operations. The aerospace fasteners segment
manufactures and markets high performance fastening systems used in the
manufacture and maintenance of commercial and military aircraft. Our aerospace
distribution segment stocks and distributes a wide variety of aircraft parts to
commercial airlines and air cargo carriers, fixed-base operators, corporate
aircraft operators and other aerospace companies. Our real estate operations
segment owns and operates a shopping center located in Farmingdale, New York.

     Recent Developments: On July 16, 2002 we announced that we signed a
definitive agreement to sell our Fairchild Fasteners business for approximately
$657 million in cash to Alcoa Inc. (See Note 24 for additional details).

    Fiscal Year: Our fiscal year ends June 30. All references herein to "2002",
"2001", and "2000" mean the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

     Consolidation Policy: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States and include our accounts and all of the accounts of our
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. Investments in companies in which ownership
interests range from 20 to 50 percent are accounted for using the equity method.

     Revenue Recognition: Sales and related costs are recognized upon shipment
of products and/or performance of services, when collection is probable. Sales
and related cost of sales on long-term contracts are recognized as products are
delivered and services performed, as determined by the percentage of completion
method. Lease and rental revenue are recognized on a straight-line basis over
the life of the lease. Shipping and handling amounts billed to customers are
classified as revenues.

     Shipping and Handling Costs: Shipping and handling costs are expensed as
incurred and included in cost of goods sold.

     Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially
subject us to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash, cash
equivalents and trade receivables. We sell our products throughout the world to
a large number of customers, primarily in the aerospace industry. To reduce
credit risk, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial
condition. We generally do not require collateral. We invest available cash in
money market securities of financial institutions with high credit ratings.

     Cash Equivalents/Statements of Cash Flows: For purposes of the Statements
of Cash Flows, we consider all highly liquid investments with original maturity
dates of three months or less as cash equivalents. Cash is invested in
short-term treasury bills and certificates of deposit. Total net cash
disbursements (receipts) made by us for income taxes and interest were as
follows:

</TABLE>

     Restricted Cash: On June 30, 2002 and 2001, we had restricted cash of $472
and $1,184, respectively, all of which is maintained as collateral for certain
debt facilities and tenant deposits.

     Investments: Management determines the appropriate classification of our
investments at the time of acquisition and reevaluates such determination at
each balance sheet date. Trading securities are carried at fair value, with
unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings. Available-for-sale
securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses,
net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Investments in equity securities and limited partnerships that do not have
readily determinable fair values are stated at cost and are categorized as other
investments. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific
identification method based on the trade date of a transaction. Interest on
corporate obligations, as well as dividends on preferred stock, are accrued at
the balance sheet date.

     Accounts Receivable: We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to
the estimated uncollectible amounts. Our estimate is based on historical
collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts
receivable. It is reasonably possible that our estimate of allowance for
doubtful accounts will change in the future. Changes in the allowance for
doubtful accounts are as follows:

</TABLE>

     Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method at two of our domestic
aerospace fastener manufacturing operations, and using the first-in, first-out
("FIFO") method elsewhere. If the FIFO inventory valuation method had been used
exclusively, inventories would have been approximately $3,675 and $3,188 higher
at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Allowances for excess and obsolete
inventory were $53,616 and $50,915 at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Inventories from continuing operations are valued as follows:

     Properties and Depreciation: The cost of property, plant and equipment is
depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost of
leasehold improvements is depreciated over the lesser of the length of the
related leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Our machinery and
equipment is depreciated over 10 years. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated
depreciation methods for Federal income tax purposes. Depreciation expense was
$30,529, $31,226 and $29,247 in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Property,
plant and equipment consisted of the following:

</TABLE>

     Net Assets Held for Sale: Net assets held for sale are stated at the lower
of cost or at estimated net realizable value, which considers anticipated sales
proceeds. Interest is not allocated to net assets held for sale. Net assets held
for sale at June 30, 2002 includes a small airframe manufacturing operation in
our aerospace fasteners segment and several parcels of real estate in our
corporate segment. The real estate is located primarily throughout the
continental United States, which we plan to sell, lease or develop, subject to
the resolution of certain environmental matters and market conditions. Also
included in net assets held for sale is a limited partnership interest in a
landfill development partnership.

     Real Estate Investment: We own and operate a shopping center located in
Farmingdale, New York, which is classified as a "real estate investment" on our
consolidated balance sheets. Our real estate investment is recorded at cost and
includes financing costs, interest costs, and real estate taxes incurred during
the original construction period. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed
as incurred and major replacements and improvements are capitalized. Building
and improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated
useful life of 30 years. Tenant improvements and costs incurred to prepare
tenant space for occupancy are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
terms of the respective leases or the assets' remaining useful lives, whichever
is shorter.

     Amortization of Goodwill: On July 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." Since the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible
assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized. Instead of
amortizing goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life,
goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or immediately if conditions
indicate that such an impairment could exist. All of our goodwill has been
deemed to have an indefinite life and as a result of adopting SFAS No. 142, we
ceased amortizing goodwill. Prior to the implementation of SFAS No. 142, we
recognized amortization expense for goodwill of $12,506 and $12,574 in 2001 and
2000, respectively. (See Note 3).

     Deferred Loan Costs: Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of
debentures and credit facilities are deferred and amortized, using the effective
interest method over the term of the agreements. Amortization expense of these
loan costs was $2,082, $1,871, and $1,200, in 2002, 2001, and 2000,
respectively.

     Valuation of Long-Lived Assets: We review our long-lived assets for
impairment, including property, plant and equipment, and identifiable
intangibles with definite lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To
determine recoverability of our long-lived assets, we evaluate the probability
that future undiscounted net cash flows will be greater than the carrying amount
of our assets. Impairment is measured based on the difference between the
carrying amount of our assets and their estimated fair value. An impairment
charge of $3.4 million, and $5.9 million, was recorded in 2002 and 2001,
respectively. The fiscal 2002 impairment charge included $3.0 million to write
down the long-lived assets of a small airframe manufacturing operation at our
aerospace fasteners segment, that we are attempting to sell, and $0.4 million to
write-off tenant improvements at our shopping center. The fiscal 2001 impairment
charge included $2.4 million due to the closing of a small subsidiary at our
aerospace distribution segment, of which $1.7 million represented the write-off
of goodwill, and $0.4 million represented severance payments. Additionally, the
fiscal 2001 impairment charge also included a write-off of approximately $2.3
million of improvements at our shopping center, and a $1.1 million for the
write-off of leasehold improvements from the relocation of our domestic
distribution facility in our aerospace fasteners segment.

     Foreign Currency Translation: The financial position and operating results
of our foreign operations are consolidated using the local currencies of the
countries in which they are located as the functional currency. The balance
sheet accounts are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the
period, and income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates
during the period. The resulting translation gains and losses are included as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains
and losses are included in our income statement in the period in which they
occur.

     Research and Development: Company-sponsored research and development
expenditures are expensed as incurred and were insignificant in 2002, 2001 and
2000.

     Capitalization of Interest and Taxes: We capitalize interest expense and
property taxes relating to certain real estate property being developed in
Farmingdale, New York. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the
underlying assets and is amortized over the useful lives of the assets. Interest
of $386 and $5,792 was capitalized in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

     Nonrecurring Gain: Nonrecurring gain of $28,625 in 2000 resulted from the
disposition of two of our equity investments including Nacanco Paketleme, and
the disposition of our Camloc Gas Springs division.

     Stock-Based Compensation: As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", we use the
intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, for our stock-based employee compensation plans. The fair
market disclosures that are required by SFAS No. 123 are included in Note 13.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amount reported in the
consolidated balance sheets approximates the fair value for our cash and cash
equivalents, investments, specified hedging agreements, short-term borrowings,
current maturities of long-term debt, and all other variable rate debt
(including borrowings under our credit agreements). The fair value for our other
fixed rate long-term debt is determined by the market value of recent trades or
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on our current incremental
borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Fair values of our
other off-balance-sheet instruments (letters of credit, commitments to extend
credit, and lease guarantees) are based on fees currently charged to enter into
similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements
and the counter parties' credit standing. These instruments are described in
Note 9.

     Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Reclassifications: Certain amounts in our prior years' consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.
Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income (loss) or
stockholders' equity.

     Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2001, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". This statement addresses
financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated asset retirement costs.
It applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived
assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and normal
operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of leases. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.

     In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-lived Assets," which supersedes SFAS No. 121. Though it retains
the basic requirements of SFAS No. 121 regarding when and how to measure an
impairment loss, SFAS No. 144 provides additional implementation guidance. SFAS
No. 144 applies to long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of,
including assets under capital leases of lessees; assets subject to operating
leases of lessors; and prepaid assets. SFAS No. 144 also expands the scope of a
discontinued operation to include a component of an entity, and eliminates the
current exemption of consolidation when control over a subsidiary is likely to
be temporary. This statement is effective for our fiscal year beginning on July
1, 2002. Accordingly, we will account for the sale of the fastener business as a
discontinued operation in fiscal 2003.

     In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". This standard requires costs
associated with exit or disposal activities to be recognized when they are
incurred and applies prospectively to such activities initiated after December
31, 2002.

2.       BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

    Divestitures

     On December 1, 1999, we disposed of substantially all of the assets and
certain liabilities of our Dallas Aerospace subsidiary, to United Technologies
Inc. for approximately $57.0 million. No gain or loss was recognized from this
transaction, as the proceeds received approximated the net carrying value of the
assets. Approximately $37.0 million of the proceeds from this disposition were
used to reduce our term indebtedness.

     On September 3, 1999, we completed the disposal of our Camloc Gas Springs
division to a subsidiary of Arvin Industries Inc. for approximately $2.7
million. In addition, we received $2.4 million from Arvin Industries for a
covenant not to compete. We recognized a $2.0 million nonrecurring gain from
this disposition. We used the net proceeds from the disposition to reduce our
indebtedness.

     On July 29, 1999, we sold our 31.9% interest in Nacanco Paketleme to
American National Can Group, Inc. for approximately $48.2 million. In fiscal
2000, we recognized a $25.7 million nonrecurring gain from this divestiture. We
also agreed to provide consulting services over a three-year period, at an
annual fee of approximately $1.5 million. We used the net proceeds from the
disposition to reduce our indebtedness.

3.  GOODWILL

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Accounting for Business Combinations."
This statement requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and establishes specific
criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. We
will follow the requirements of this statement for business acquisitions made
after June 30, 2001. There were no acquisitions during 2002.

     Effective July 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." This
statement changes the accounting for goodwill by requiring that goodwill and
intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life not be amortized and that
the amortization period of intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be
limited to forty years. Instead of amortizing goodwill and intangible assets
deemed to have an indefinite life, the statement requires a test for impairment
to be performed annually, or immediately if conditions indicate that such an
impairment could exist. The determination of impairment required by SFAS No. 142
is a two-step process. The first step compares the carrying value of a reporting
unit to the fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill. If the fair value of
the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed
to determine the amount of goodwill impairment. The second step allocates the
fair value of the reporting unit to the reporting unit's net assets other than
goodwill. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts
assigned to its net assets other than goodwill is considered the implied fair
value of the reporting unit's goodwill. The implied fair value of the reporting
unit's goodwill is then compared to the carrying value of its goodwill and any
shortfall represents the amount of goodwill impairment. The fair market value of
a reporting unit is determined by considering the market prices of comparable
businesses and the present value of cash flow projections.

     In 2002, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $144.6 million from
the implementation of SFAS No. 142, which is being presented as cumulative
effect of change in accounting, as of the beginning of our fiscal year. All of
the impairment charge relates to the three operating units within our aerospace
fasteners segment. No tax effect was recognized on the change in accounting for
goodwill. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 142, we will no longer amortize
goodwill of approximately $12.5 million per year. We have selected first day of
our fourth quarter as our annual impairment test date.

     The following table provides the comparable effects of adoption of SFAS No.
142 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively:

4.  PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

     The following table sets forth the derivation of the unaudited pro forma
results, representing the impact of our dispositions of Dallas Aerospace
(December 1999), Camloc Gas Springs (September 1999), and the investment in
Nacanco Paketleme (July 1999), as if these transactions had occurred on July 1,
1999. The pro forma information is based on the historical financial statements
of these companies, giving effect to the aforementioned transactions. In
preparing the pro forma data, certain assumptions and adjustments have been made
which affect interest expense and investment income from our revised debt
structures. The pro forma financial information does not reflect nonrecurring
income and gains from the disposal of discontinued operations that have occurred
from these transactions. The unaudited pro forma information is not intended to
be indicative of the future results of our operations or results that might have
been achieved if these transactions had been in effect since July 1, 1999.

6.       INVESTMENTS AND ADVANCES, AFFILIATED COMPANIES

     Our share of equity in earnings (loss), net of tax, of unconsolidated
affiliates for 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $(137), $110, and $(346), respectively.
The carrying value of investments and advances, affiliated companies was $3,261
and $2,813 at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     On June 30, 2002, approximately $(142) of our $91,947 consolidated retained
earnings were from undistributed losses of 50 percent or less currently owned
affiliates accounted for using the equity method.

7.       NOTES RECEIVABLE

     At June 30, 2002, $5.6 million of promissory notes were due to us from an
unaffiliated third party, which are included in notes receivable. The promissory
notes earn $1.4 million of annual cash interest and are being accreted to a face
value of $12.8 million through May 2006. The promissory notes are secured by
$12.8 million face value of our outstanding 10.75% senior subordinated
debentures due 2009 acquired by the third party. The third party may sell these
debentures for cash provided that it satisfies its obligation under its
promissory notes.

</TABLE>

     Credit Agreements

     We maintain credit facilities with a consortium of banks, providing us with
a term loan and revolving credit facilities. On June 30, 2002, the credit
facilities with our senior lenders consisted of a $140,650 term loan and a
$100,000 revolving loan with a $40,000 letter of credit sub-facility and a
$15,000 swing loan sub-facility. Borrowings under the term loan generally bear
interest at a rate of, at our option, either 2 1/4% over the Citibank N.A. base
rate, or 3 1/4% over the LIBOR rate. Advances made under the revolving credit
facilities generally bear interest at a rate of, at our option, either (i) 1
3/4% over the Citibank N.A. base rate, or (ii) 2 3/4% over the LIBOR rate. These
interest rates are subject to change quarterly based upon our financial
performance. The credit facilities are subject to a non-use commitment fee on
the aggregate unused availability, of 1/2% if greater than half of the revolving
loan is being utilized or 3/4% if less than half of the revolving loan is being
utilized. Outstanding letters of credit are subject to fees equivalent to the
revolving LIBOR rate margin. The revolving credit facilities and the term loan
will mature on April 30, 2005 and April 30, 2006, respectively. The term loan is
subject to mandatory prepayment requirements and optional prepayments. The
revolving loan is subject to mandatory prepayment requirements and optional
commitment reductions.

     We are required under the credit agreement with our lending institutions,
to comply with certain financial and non-financial loan covenants, including
maintaining certain interest and fixed charge coverage ratios and maintaining
certain indebtedness to EBITDA ratios, at the end of each fiscal quarter. One
covenant is the interest coverage ratio, which represents the ratio of EBITDA to
interest expense, as defined in the credit agreement. At June 30, 2002, the
interest coverage ratio was 2.32, which exceeded the minimum requirement of 2.0.
Our interest rates vary based upon the consolidated indebtedness to EBITDA
covenant, which represents the ratio of total debt to EBITDA, as defined in the
credit agreement. On March 31, 2002 our indebtedness to EBITDA ratio exceeded
5.0 and resulted in a 1/4% increase in our interest rates under the credit
agreement during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. On June 30, 2002 our
indebtedness to EBITDA ratio was 5.62, which was below the maximum permitted
ratio of 5.7. Additionally, the credit agreement restricts annual capital
expenditures to $40 million during the life of the facility. For the year ended
June 30, 2002, capital expenditures were $11.9 million. Except for assets of our
subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the credit agreement, substantially all
of our assets are pledged as collateral under the credit agreement. The credit
agreement restricts the payment of dividends to our shareholders to an aggregate
of the lesser of $0.01 per share or $0.4 million over the life of the agreement.
Noncompliance with any of the financial covenants without cure or waiver would
constitute an event of default under the credit agreement. An event of default
resulting from a breach of a financial covenant may result, at the option of
lenders holding a majority of the loans, in an acceleration of the principal and
interest outstanding, and a termination of the revolving credit line. At June
30, 2002, we were in compliance with the covenants under the credit agreement.

     At June 30, 2002, we had borrowings outstanding of $68,800 under the
revolving credit facilities and we had letters of credit outstanding of $17,959,
which were supported by a sub-facility under the revolving credit facilities. At
June 30, 2002, we had unused bank lines of credit aggregating $13,241, at
interest rates slightly higher than the prime rate. We also had short-term lines
of credit relating to foreign operations, aggregating $32,834, against which we
owed $18,221 at June 30, 2002.

     On March 23, 2000, we entered into a $30,750 term loan agreement with
Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York. The loan is secured by all of the
developed rental property of the Fairchild Airport Plaza shopping center located
in Farmingdale, New York, including tenant leases and mortgage escrows.
Borrowings under this agreement will mature on April 1, 2003, and bear interest
at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.1%.

     Senior Subordinated Notes

     On April 20, 1999, we issued, at par value, $225,000 of 10 3/4% senior
subordinated notes that mature on April 15, 2009. We pay interest on these notes
semi-annually on April 15th and October 15th of each year. Except in the case of
certain equity offerings by us, we cannot choose to redeem these notes until
five years have passed from the issue date of the notes. At any one or more
times after that date, we may choose to redeem some or all of the notes at
certain specified prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon the occurrence
of certain change of control events, each holder may require us to repurchase
all or a portion of the notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued
and unpaid interest.

     The notes are our senior subordinated unsecured obligations. They rank
senior to or equal in right of payment with any of our future subordinated
indebtedness, and subordinated in right of payment to any of our existing and
future senior indebtedness. The notes are effectively subordinated to
indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries, which are not
guarantors. Substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries guarantee the notes
with unconditional guaranties of payment that will effectively rank below their
senior debt, but will rank equal to their other subordinated debt, in right of
payment.

     The indenture under which the notes were issued contains covenants that
limit what we (and most or all of our subsidiaries) may do. The indenture
contains covenants that limit our ability to: incur additional indebtedness; pay
dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock; make investments; sell
assets; create certain liens; engage in certain transactions with affiliates;
and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets or the
assets of certain of our subsidiaries. In addition, we will be obligated to
offer to repurchase the notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, in the event of certain
asset sales. These restrictions and prohibitions are subject to a number of
important qualifications and exceptions.

     On June 30, 2002, the $225,000 face value of our outstanding 10 3/4% senior
subordinated notes had a fair market value of $130,500.

     Debt Maturity Information

     The annual maturity of our bank notes payable and long-term debt
obligations (exclusive of capital lease obligations) for each of the five years
following June 30, 2002, are as follows: $53,529 for 2003; $2,948 for 2004;
$71,501 for 2005; $134,234 for 2006; and $1,343 for 2007.

9.       DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

       In fiscal 1998, we entered into a ten-year interest rate swap agreement
to reduce our cash flow exposure to increases in interest rates on variable rate
debt. The ten-year interest rate swap agreement provides us with interest rate
protection on $100 million of variable rate debt, with interest being calculated
based on a fixed LIBOR rate of 6.24% to February 17, 2003. On February 17, 2003,
the bank with which we entered into the interest swap agreement will have a
one-time option to elect to cancel the agreement or to do nothing and proceed
with the transaction, using a fixed LIBOR rate of 6.715% for the period February
17, 2003 to February 19, 2008.

     We adopted SFAS No. 133 on July 1, 2000. At adoption, we recorded, within
other comprehensive income, a decrease of $0.5 million in the fair market value
of our $100 million interest rate swap agreement. The $0.5 million decrease will
be amortized over the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreement using
the effective interest method. The offsetting interest rate swap liability is
separately being reported as a "fair market value of interest rate contract"
within other long-term liabilities. In the statement of earnings, we have
recorded the net swap interest accrual as part of interest expense. Unrealized
changes in the fair value of the swap are recorded on a separate line entitled
"decrease in fair market value of interest rate contract."

     We did not elect to pursue hedge accounting for the interest rate swap
agreement, which was executed to provide an economic hedge against cash flow
variability on the floating rate note. When evaluating the impact of SFAS No.
133 on this hedge relationship, we assessed the key characteristics of the
interest rate swap agreement and the note. Based on this assessment, we
determined that the hedging relationship would not be highly effective. The
ineffectiveness is caused by the existence of the embedded written call option
in the interest rate swap agreement and the absence of a mirror option in the
hedged item. As such, pursuant to SFAS No. 133, we designated the interest rate
swap agreement in the no hedging designation category. Accordingly, we have
recognized a non-cash decrease in fair market value of interest rate derivatives
of $4.6 million and $5.6 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively, as a result of
the fair market value adjustment for our interest rate swap agreement.

     The fair market value adjustment of these agreements will generally
fluctuate based on the implied forward interest rate curve for the 3-month
LIBOR. If the implied forward interest rate curve decreases, the fair market
value of the interest hedge contract will increase and we will record an
additional charge. If the implied forward interest rate curve increases, the
fair market value of the interest hedge contract will decrease, and we will
record income.

     In March 2000, we issued a floating rate note with a principal amount of
$30,750. Embedded within the promissory note agreement is an interest rate cap.
The embedded interest rate cap limits to 8.125%, the 1-month LIBOR interest rate
that we must pay on the note. At execution of the promissory note, the strike
rate of the embedded interest rate cap of 8.125% was above the 1-month LIBOR
rate of 6.61%. Under SFAS 133, the embedded interest rate cap is considered to
be clearly and closely related to the debt of the host contract and is not
required to be separated and accounted for separately from the host contract. In
fiscal 2001, we accounted for the hybrid contract, comprised of the variable
rate note and the embedded interest rate cap, as a single debt instrument.

     We recognize interest expense under the provisions of the hedge agreements
based on the fixed rate. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of
non-performance by the lenders; however, such non-performance is not
anticipated.

     The table below provides information about our derivative financial
instruments and other financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in
interest rates, which include interest rate swaps. For interest rate swaps, the
table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by expected
(contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the
contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average
variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the
reporting date.

10.  PENSIONS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

     Pensions

     We have defined benefit pension plans covering most of our employees.
Employees in our foreign subsidiaries may participate in local pension plans,
for which our liability is in the aggregate insignificant. Our funding policy is
to make the minimum annual contribution required by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 or local statutory law.

     The changes in the pension plans' benefit obligations were as follows:

</TABLE>

     The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was determined using a
discount rate of 7.125% at June 30, 2002 and 7.25% at June 30, 2001. The effect
of such change resulted in an increase to the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation in fiscal 2002. For measurement purposes, we assumed a 10.0% annual
rate of increase in the per capita claims cost of covered health care benefits
for fiscal 2002. The rate was assumed to decrease to 5.00% in fiscal 2003 and
remain at that level thereafter.

     A summary of the components of total postretirement expense is as follows:

</TABLE>

     In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether
it is more likely than not, that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. The above asset basis differences represent timing
differences primarily related to fixed assets and investments. The timing
differences to fixed assets are due to depreciation being computed using the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated
depreciation methods for tax purposes. The timing differences to investments
result from the mark-to-market method required for financial reporting purposes
and original cost being used for tax purposes. We consider the scheduled
reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax
planning strategies in making this assessment.

     At June 30, 2002, we have a $3,196 unused alternative minimum tax credit
carryforward that does not expire and $282,547 of federal operating loss
carryforwards expiring as follows: $26,204 in 2010; $1,509 in 2012; $40,604
in2013; $56,566 in 2019; $60,868 in 2020; $53,671 in 2021; and $43,126 in 2022.
On June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, our federal operating loss carryforwards
were $239,421 and $185,751, respectively.

under Section 361 of the Internal revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     We maintain a very complex structure in the United States and overseas,
particularly due to the large number of acquisitions and dispositions that have
occurred along with other tax planning strategies. The noncurrent income tax
liability is after utilization of available net operating losses and is
attributable to permanent differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities which we have sold in prior years and their
respective tax bases. Our management performs a comprehensive review of its
worldwide tax positions on an annual basis. Based on outcomes in recent years,
as a result of discussions and resolutions of matters with the tax authorities
and the closure of tax years subject to tax audit, we have revised our tax
accruals, net of valuation allowances, by $(1,094), $3,500, and $7,800, in 2002,
2001, and 2000, respectively.

     At June 30, 2002, we have $282,547 of federal income tax loss carryforwards
expiring 2010 through 2022, and $3,196 of unused alternative minimum tax credit
carryforward that does not expire. These federal income tax loss carryforwards
may be reduced by adjustments during the income tax audits of 1995 through 2002,
which have not commenced. As the periods of assessment for 1995 to 1998 have
expired, additional tax may be collected from us only for 1999 to 2002.
Nonetheless, the tax losses of $68,317 arising in 1995, 1997, and 1998 may still
be reduced for determining the proper amount of net operating loss available to
be carried forward to years after 1998. The gain we reported between 1995 to
2002, for federal income tax, may be significantly increased if our tax
positions are not sustained with respect to the sales of several businesses; and
the repayment with property, of debt under a bank credit agreement in which both
we and our subsidiaries were liable, is not treated as tax free under Section
361 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If all of these
adjustments were made for 1995 to 2002, the federal income tax loss
carryforwards would be substantially reduced, and we may be required to pay
additional tax and interest of up to $74 million, which has already been
provided. The amount of additional tax and interest to be paid by the Company
depends on the amount of income tax audit adjustments, which are made and
sustained for 1995 to 2002. These adjustments, if any, would be made at a future
date, which is presently uncertain, and therefore we cannot predict the timing
of cash outflows. To the extent a favorable final determination of the recorded
tax liabilities occurs, appropriate adjustments will be made to decrease the
recorded tax liability in the year such favorable determination will occur. It
is presently uncertain when a final determination will occur since no Internal
Revenue Service audits of 1995 to 2002 have commenced.

     Domestic income taxes, less available credits, are provided on the
unremitted income of foreign subsidiaries and affiliated companies, to the
extent we intend to repatriate such earnings. No domestic income taxes or
foreign withholding taxes are provided on the undistributed earnings of foreign
subsidiaries and affiliates, which are considered permanently invested, or which
would be offset by allowable foreign tax credits. As of June 30, 2002, the
cumulative unremitted income of those foreign subsidiaries and affiliates for
which deferred taxes have not been provided was $80,366.

     In the opinion of our management, adequate provision has been made for all
income taxes and interest; and any liability that may arise for prior periods
will not have a material effect on our financial condition or our results of
operations.

12.      EQUITY SECURITIES

     We had 22,540,021 shares of Class A common stock and 2,621,502 shares of
Class B common stock outstanding at June 30, 2002. Class A common stock is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol of "FA". There is
no public market for the Class B common stock. The shares of Class A common
stock are entitled to one vote per share and cannot be exchanged for shares of
Class B common stock. The shares of Class B common stock are entitled to ten
votes per share and can be exchanged, at any time, for shares of Class A common
stock on a share-for-share basis. For the year ended June 30, 2002, we issued
12,220 shares of Class A common stock as a result of the pay out of 12,220
deferred compensation units pursuant to our stock option deferral plan. During
fiscal 2002, stock warrants entitled to purchase 400,000 shares of our common
stock expired.

13.      STOCK OPTIONS

     Stock Options

     We are authorized to issue 5,141,000 shares of our Class A common stock
upon the exercise of stock options issued under our 1986 non-qualified and
incentive stock option plan. The purpose of the 1986 stock option plan is to
encourage continued employment and ownership of Class A common stock by our
officers and key employees, and to provide additional incentive to promote
success. The 1986 stock option plan authorizes the granting of options at not
less than the market value of the common stock at the time of the grant. The
option price is payable in cash or, with the approval of our compensation and
stock option committee of the Board of Directors, in "mature" shares of common
stock, valued at fair market value at the time of exercise. The options normally
vest by twenty-five percent at the end of each of the first four years and
terminate five years from the date of grant, or for a stipulated period of time
after an employee's death or termination of employment. The 1986 plan expires on
April 9, 2006; however, all stock options outstanding as of April 9, 2006 shall
continue to be exercisable pursuant to their terms.

     We are authorized to issue 250,000 shares of our Class A common stock upon
the exercise of stock options issued under the ten-year 1996 non-employee
directors stock option plan. The 1996 non-employee directors stock option plan
authorizes the granting of options at the market value of the common stock on
the date of grant. An initial stock option grant for 30,000 shares of Class A
common stock is made to each person who becomes a new non-employee Director,
with the options vesting 25% each year from the date of grant. On the date of
each annual meeting, each person elected as a non-employee Director will be
granted an option for 1,000 shares of Class A common stock that vest
immediately. The exercise price is payable in cash or, with the approval of our
compensation and stock option committee, in shares of Class A or Class B common
stock, valued at fair market value at the date of exercise. All options issued
under the 1996 non-employee directors stock option plan will terminate five
years from the date of grant or a stipulated period of time after a non-employee
Director ceases to be a member of the Board. The 1996 non-employee directors
stock option plan is designed to maintain our ability to attract and retain
highly qualified and competent persons to serve as our outside directors.

     At the Annual Shareholders meeting held in November 2001, the shareholders
approved the 2001 non-employee directors stock option plan, pursuant to which
non-employee directors were issued stock options for 86,942 shares, in the
aggregate, immediately after the 2001 Annual Meeting.

     At the Annual Shareholders meeting held in November 2000, the shareholders
approved the 2000 non-employee directors stock option plan, pursuant to which
each non-employee director was issued stock options for 7,500 shares (52,500
shares in the aggregate) immediately after the 2000 Annual Meeting.

     Upon our April 8, 1999 merger with Banner Aerospace, all of Banner
Aerospace's stock options then issued and outstanding were converted into the
right to receive 870,315 shares of our common stock.

     The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during 2002,
2001, and 2000 was $1.62, $3.13, and $4.16, respectively. The fair value of each

     We recognized compensation expense of $9 and $13 from stock options issued
to consultants in 2002 and 2001, respectively. We are applying APB Opinion No.
25 in accounting for our stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost
has been recognized for the granting of stock options to our employees in 2002,
2001 or 2000. If stock options granted in 2002, 2001 and 2000 were accounted for
based on their fair value as determined under SFAS 123, pro forma earnings would
be as follows:

     The pro forma effects of applying SFAS 123 are not representative of the
effects on reported net earnings for future years. The effect of SFAS 123 is not
applicable to awards made prior to 1996. Additional awards are expected in
future years.

     Stock Option Deferral Plan

     On November 17, 1998, our shareholders approved a stock option deferral
plan. Pursuant to the stock option deferral plan, certain officers may, at their
election, defer payment of the "compensation" they receive in a particular year
or years from the exercise of stock options. "Compensation" means the excess
value of a stock option, determined by the difference between the fair market
value of shares issueable upon exercise of a stock option, and the option price
payable upon exercise of the stock option. An officer's deferred compensation is
payable in the form of "deferred compensation units," representing the number of
shares of common stock that the officer is entitled to receive upon expiration
of the deferral period. The number of deferred compensation units issueable to
an officer is determined by dividing the amount of the deferred compensation by
the fair market value of our stock as of the date of deferral.

14.      EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings
(loss) per share:

</TABLE>

     The computation of diluted loss from continuing operations per share for
2002 and 2001 excluded the effect of incremental common shares attributable to
the potential exercise of common stock options outstanding and warrants
outstanding, because their effect was antidilutive. No adjustments were made to
share information in the calculation of earnings per share for the change in
accounting for goodwill and discontinued operations in 2002 and 2000,
respectively.

15.      RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

     In fiscal 2000, we recorded $8,578 of restructuring charges as a result of
the continued integration of Kaynar Technologies into our aerospace fasteners
segment. All of the charges recorded during 2000 were a direct result of product
and plant integration costs incurred as of June 30, 2000. These costs were
classified as restructuring and were the direct result of formal plans to move
equipment, close plants and to terminate employees. Such costs are nonrecurring
in nature. Other than a reduction in our existing cost structure, none of the
restructuring charges resulted in future increases in earnings or represented an
accrual of future costs.

16.      DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     Based on our formal plan, we have disposed of the Fairchild Technologies'
businesses, including its intellectual property, through a series of
transactions. Because of Fairchild Technologies' significant utilization of
cash, in February 1998, our Board of Directors adopted a formal plan to
discontinue Fairchild Technologies, under which, Fairchild Technologies would
either be sold or liquidated. In connection with the adoption of that plan, we
recorded an after-tax charge of $36.2 million in discontinued operations in
fiscal 1998. Included in the fiscal 1998 charge, was $28.2 million, net of an
income tax benefit of $11.8 million, for the net losses of Fairchild
Technologies through June 30, 1998. This charge included the write down of
assets to estimated net realizable value and $8.0 million, net of an income tax
benefit of $4.8 million, for the estimated remaining operating losses of
Fairchild Technologies through February 1999, the originally anticipated
disposal date. The dispositions of the Fairchild Technologies semiconductor
equipment group, the major portion of the Fairchild Technologies business, took
place by June 1999, approximately 15 months after the adoption of the
disposition plan. We also completed a spin-off of the Fairchild Technologies
optical disc equipment group business in April 2000, approximately 25 months
after the original disposition plan. We received proceeds from the dispositions
of Fairchild Technologies of less than we originally projected, and the
operating losses of Fairchild Technologies, since the adoption date, exceeded
our original estimates. At each quarter end, we continued to reevaluate our
conclusions on discontinued operations and update the estimates of losses as
circumstances changed. At no point did we consider retaining any portion of the
Fairchild Technology business. As a result, we adjusted the net loss on disposal
of discontinued operations by $31.3 million and $12.0 million in fiscal 1999 and
2000, respectively. The following schedule provides a summary of the net loss on
disposal of discontinued operations for Fairchild Technologies:

(a)  The fiscal 1999 after-tax operating loss from Fairchild Technologies
     exceeded the June 1998 estimate recorded for expected losses by $28.6
     million, net of an income tax benefit of $8.1 million, through June 1999.
     Operating losses for fiscal 1999 of $8.0 million were originally planned
     for the first eight months of fiscal 1999. Operating costs were higher than
     originally projected, due to deterioration in market conditions, which
     resulted in increased operating expenses and hindered the disposition of
     Fairchild Technologies within twelve months, as originally expected. Due to
     the decision to cease operations of the Fairchild Technologies
     semiconductor group in March 1999, additional expenses became necessary to
     reflect the shut down of facilities and accrue for severance expenses. An
     additional after-tax charge of $2.8 million was recorded in fiscal 1999 for
     the estimated remaining losses in connection with the disposition of
     Fairchild Technologies.
(b)  The fiscal 2000 after-tax loss in connection with the disposition of the
     remaining operations of Fairchild Technologies exceeded anticipated losses
     by $12.0 million, net of tax. We recognized a higher than expected loss on
     the disposition of the final portions of Fairchild Technologies.
</FN>
</TABLE>

     At the measurement date in February 1998, management's reasonable
expectation was that Fairchild Technologies would be disposed of within one
year. Management felt confident that this could be accomplished for the
following reasons:

o We retained an investment banker to aid in the disposal of the Fairchild
Technologies business.
o        Our belief was further enhanced as active discussions began with
         approximately 20 potentially interested parties; and based on those
         discussions we believed that we could sell Fairchild Technologies
         within one year.
o        The expected quarterly losses, as accrued at the measurement date
         created an incentive to sell the Fairchild Technologies business in
         order to reduce cash outflows.

     However, our February 1998 expectations that we could sell Fairchild
Technologies within one year were severely hampered by a general slowdown in the
semiconductor manufacturing equipment industry, the economic crisis in Asia, and
public knowledge that the business was for sale. As a result of these
conditions, the major customer of Fairchild Technologies semiconductor equipment
group business refused to place additional firm orders and Fairchild
Technologies incurred net operating losses well in excess of the $8.0 million
originally planned. As a further result of these conditions, efforts to sell the
Fairchild Technologies business, as a whole, were unsuccessful. However, several
parties expressed interest in specific product lines and intellectual property
of Fairchild Technologies. Management realized that it would have to split-up
Fairchild Technologies and separately dispose of components of its semiconductor
equipment group and its optical disc equipment business. In February 1999,
disposition discussions began to intensify, and shortly thereafter letters of
intent were signed to sell portions of the Fairchild Technologies business.

     In March 1999, management decided to cease all manufacturing activities of
the semiconductor equipment group of Fairchild Technologies. In April 1999, we
began to dispose of the semiconductor equipment group's production machinery and
existing inventory, informed customers and business partners that it ceased
operations, significantly reduced its workforce, and stepped up the level of
discussions and negotiations with other companies regarding the sale of its
remaining assets. Fairchild Technologies also continued exploring several
alternative transactions with potential buyers for its optical disc equipment
group business.

     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, we liquidated, through several
transactions, a significant portion of Fairchild Technologies, consisting mostly
of its semiconductor equipment group. On April 14, 1999, we disposed of
Fairchild Technologies' photoresist deep ultraviolet track equipment machines
and technology, spare parts and testing equipment to Apex Co., Ltd., in exchange
for 1,250,000 shares of Apex stock valued at approximately $5.1 million. On May
1, 1999, we sold Fairchild CDI for a nominal amount. On June 15, 1999, we
received from Suess Microtec AG $7.9 million and the right to receive 350,000
shares of Suess Microtec stock (or approximately $3.5 million) in exchange for
Fairchild Technologies' Falcon semiconductor equipment group product line and
certain intellectual property.

     In July 1999, we received approximately $7.1 million from Novellus in
exchange for Fairchild Technologies' Low-K dielectric product line and certain
intellectual property. This transaction finalized the liquidation of the
semiconductor equipment group of Fairchild Technologies.

     Following these transactions Fairchild Technologies completely ceased
operations. Under these circumstances, management believes that discontinued
operations treatment for accounting purposes continued to be appropriate
subsequent to March 1999.

     On April 13, 2000, we completed a spin-off to our stockholders of the
shares of Fairchild (Bermuda) Ltd. On April 14, 2000, Fairchild (Bermuda) sold
to Convac Technologies Ltd. the Optical Disc Equipment Group business formerly
owned by Fairchild Technologies. Subsequently, on April 14, 2000, Fairchild
(Bermuda), renamed Global Sources Ltd., completed an exchange of approximately
95% of its shares for 100% of the shares of Trade Media Holdings Limited, an
Asian based, business-to-business online and traditional marketplace services
provider. Immediately after the share exchange, our stockholders owned 1,183,081
shares of the 26,152,308 issued shares of Global Sources. Global Sources shares
are listed on the NASDAQ under the symbol "GSOL". This transaction allowed us to
complete our formal plan to dispose of Fairchild Technologies and provided our
shareholders with a unique opportunity to participate in a new public entity.

     Fairchild Technologies reported sales of $8,087 in 2000.

17.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     We pay for a chartered helicopter used from time to time for business
related travel. The owner of the chartered helicopter is a company controlled by
Mr. Jeffrey Steiner. Cost for such flights that are charged to us are comparable
to those charged in arm's length transactions between unaffiliated third
parties. The total amounts paid for such helicopter was approximately $143 and
$200 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. No amounts were paid in 2002.

     We have extended loans to purchase our Class A common stock to certain
members of our senior management and Board of Directors, for the purpose of
encouraging ownership of our stock, and to provide additional incentive to
promote our success. The loans are non-interest bearing, have maturity dates
ranging from 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 years, and become due and payable immediately upon
the termination of employment for senior management, or director affiliation
with us for a director. As of June 30, 2002, the indebtedness owed to us from
Mr. Flynn, Mr. Juris, Mr. Persavich, and Mr. J. Steiner, was approximately $175
each. On June 30, 2002, Mr. Gerard, Ms. Hercot, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Miller and Mr.
E. Steiner owed us approximately $99, $167, $50, $220 and $220, respectively. On
June 30, 2002, approximately $106 of indebtedness was owed to us by each of Mr.
Caplin, Mr. David, Mr. Harris, Mr. Lebard, and Mr. Richey. As of June 30, 2002,
each of the individual amounts due to us represented the largest aggregate
balance of indebtedness outstanding under the officer and director stock
purchase program. We recognized compensation expense of $22 and $443 in 2001 and
2000, respectively, as a result of favorable terms granted to the recipients of
the loans.

     On November 16, 1999, Mr. Richey borrowed $46 from us to exercise stock
options and hold our Class A common stock. The loan matures on November 16, 2002
and bears interest at 5.5%. The loan balance was $53 at June 30, 2002.

18.      LEASES

     Operating Leases

     We hold certain of our facilities and equipment under long-term leases. The
minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases with lease
terms in excess of one year, for each of the five years following June 30, 2002,
are as follows: $9,383 for 2003; $7,801 for 2004; $6,424 for 2005; $4,420 for
2006; and $2,764 for 2007. Rental expense on operating leases from continuing
operations for fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000 was $9,279, $12,445, and $11,280,
respectively.

     Capital Leases

     Minimum commitments under capital leases for each of the five years
following June 30, 2002, are $344 for 2003; $176 for 2004; $37 for 2005; $23 for
2006; and $12 for 2007, respectively. At June 30, 2002, the present value of
capital lease obligations was $553 and imputed interest was $39. Capital assets
leased and included in property, plant, and equipment consisted of:

     Leasing Operations

     In fiscal 1999, we began leasing retail space to tenants under operating
leases at a 456,000 square foot shopping center that we developed in
Farmingdale, New York. Rental revenue is recognized as lease payments are due
from tenants, and the related costs are amortized over their estimated useful
life. The future minimum lease payments to be received from non-cancelable
operating leases on June 30, 2002 are $6,296 in 2003; $6,706 in 2004; $6,636 in
2005; $6,575 in 2006; $6,575 in 2007; and $44,531 thereafter. Rental property

19.       CONTINGENCIES

     Environmental Matters

     Our operations are subject to stringent government imposed environmental
laws and regulations concerning, among other things, the discharge of materials
into the environment and the generation, handling, storage, transportation and
disposal of waste and hazardous materials. To date, such laws and regulations
have not had a material effect on our financial condition, results of
operations, or net cash flows, although we have expended, and can be expected to
expend in the future, significant amounts for the investigation of environmental
conditions and installation of environmental control facilities, remediation of
environmental conditions and other similar matters, particularly in our
aerospace fasteners segment.

     In connection with our plans to dispose of certain real estate, we must
investigate environmental conditions and we may be required to take certain
corrective action prior or pursuant to any such disposition. In addition, we
have identified several areas of potential contamination related to other
facilities owned, or previously owned, by us, that may require us either to take
corrective action or to contribute to a clean-up. We are also a defendant in
certain lawsuits and proceedings seeking to require us to pay for investigation
or remediation of environmental matters, and we have been alleged to be a
potentially responsible party at various "superfund" sites. We believe that we
have recorded adequate reserves in our financial statements to complete such
investigation and take any necessary corrective actions or make any necessary
contributions. No amounts have been recorded as due from third parties,
including insurers, or set off against, any environmental liability, unless such
parties are contractually obligated to contribute and are not disputing such
liability.

     As of June 30, 2002, the consolidated total of our recorded liabilities for
environmental matters was approximately $13.9 million, which represented the
estimated probable exposure for these matters. On June 30, 2002, $4.8 million of
these liabilities was classified as other accrued liabilities and $9.1 million
was classified as other long-term liabilities. It is reasonably possible that
our total exposure for these matters could be approximately $18.1 million.

     Other Matters

     We are involved in various other claims and lawsuits incidental to our
business. We, either on our own or through our insurance carriers, are
contesting these matters. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution
of the legal proceedings, including those mentioned above, will not have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, future results of operations
or net cash flows.

24.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On July 16, 2002 we announced that we signed a definitive agreement to
sell our aerospace fasteners business for approximately $657 million in cash to
Alcoa Inc. The actual cash to be received from Alcoa is dependent upon a
post-closing adjustment based on the change in net working capital between March
31, 2002 and the closing date. We may also receive additional cash proceeds up
to $12.5 million per year, in an earnout formula based on the number of Boeing
and Airbus commercial aircraft deliveries during each of the calendar years
2003-2006, inclusive. The sale, which is expected to close before November 30,
2002, is subject to customary conditions, including the approval of our
shareholders and bondholders. We will use a portion of the proceeds from the
sale to repay our bank debt and commence a tender offer to acquire all of our
outstanding $225 million, 10.75% senior subordinated notes, due in April, 2009.
This tender offer will close concurrently with the closing of the sale to Alcoa.
The remaining proceeds from the sale will provide funds for new acquisitions.

ITEM 9.  DISAGREEMENTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

     On May 9, 2002, upon the recommendation of our Audit Committee, the Board
of Directors dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent auditors and
appointed Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent auditors for the fiscal
year which ended on June 30, 2002. The change in auditors is effective
immediately. Arthur Andersen's reports on our consolidated financial statements
for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000 did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During each of
our fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000 and through May 9, 2002,
there were: (i) no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on any matter of
accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen's satisfaction,
would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection
with their report on our consolidated financial statements for such years; and
(ii) there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K. We have provided Arthur Andersen with a copy of the foregoing
disclosures. Incorporated by reference as Exhibit 16 is a copy of Arthur
Andersen's letter, dated May 13, 2002, stating its agreement with such
statements. During each of our two previous fiscal years and through the May 9,
2002, we did not consult Ernst & Young with respect to the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed,
or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated
financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in
Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

PART III

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

     Beginning in the mid-1990's, articles have appeared in the French press
reporting an inquiry by a French magistrate into allegedly improper business
transactions involving Elf Acquitaine, a French petroleum company, its former
chairman and various third parties, including Maurice Bidermann. In connection
with this inquiry, the magistrate has made inquiry into allegedly improper
transactions between Mr. Jeffrey Steiner and that petroleum company. In response
to the magistrate's request, Mr. Steiner has submitted written statements
concerning the transactions and appeared in person, in France, before the
magistrate and others. The magistrate put Mr. Steiner under examination (mis en
examen) with respect to this matter and imposed a surety (caution) of ten
million French Francs, approximately $1.5 million at the time. The magistrate's
principal allegations are that, in 1990, Mr. Steiner improperly received or
dealt with others with respect to funds of Elf Acquitaine paid pursuant to a
written consulting agreement with Elf Acquitaine, and paid in connection with
the sale of a real estate company. The examining magistrate has notified Mr.
Steiner that he intends to transmit the dossier to the Republic prosecutor
(procureur de la Republique) for his evaluation. However, Mr. Steiner has not
been charged; and as of the date of this filing, the Company is not aware of any
developments involving Mr. Steiner and these matters, which are adverse to him.
We have provided the surety for Mr. Steiner and paid his legal expenses ($4.7
million) in connection with these matters, and will continue to do so, in
accordance with Delaware law. Mr. Steiner has undertaken to repay us the surety
and expenses paid by us on his behalf if it is ultimately determined that Mr.
Steiner was not entitled to indemnification under Delaware law. Delaware law
provides that Mr. Steiner would be entitled to indemnification if it is
determined that he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
