Triumph Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Triumph Group, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

The Company designs, engineers and manufactures products for original equipment manufacturers of aircraft and aircraft components and repairs and overhauls aircraft components and accessories for commercial airline, air cargo carrier and military customers on a worldwide basis.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109 (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 creates a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  In connection with its adoption of FIN 48 on April 1, 2007, the Company recognized a charge of approximately $291 to retained earnings.  See Note 8 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the Company’s uncertain tax positions.

In March 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-10 (“EITF 06-10”), Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements.  EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment agreement.  EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the EITF will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets cost and accumulated amortization at June 30, 2007 were $112,810 and $45,390, respectively.  Intangible assets cost and accumulated amortization at March 31, 2007 were $112,710 and $42,791, respectively.  Intangible assets consists of two major classes: (i) product rights and licenses, which at

7




June 30, 2007 had a weighted-average life of 11.3 years, and (ii) non-compete agreements, customer relationships and other, which at June 30, 2007 had a weighted-average life of 10.6 years.  Gross cost and accumulated amortization of product rights and licenses at June 30, 2007 were $73,957 and $32,824, respectively, and at March 31, 2007 were $73,957 and $31,070, respectively.  Gross cost and accumulated amortization of noncompete agreements, customer relationships and other at June 30, 2007 were $38,853 and $12,566, respectively, and at March 31, 2007 were $38,753 and $11,721, respectively.  Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2,599 and $2,002, respectively.  Amortization expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 and the succeeding five fiscal years by year is expected to be as follows: 2008: $10,372; 2009: $10,126; 2010: $9,876; 2011: $8,128; 2012: $6,597; 2013: $6,484.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year presentation.

3.   FISCAL 2007 ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Allied Aerospace Industries, Inc.

Effective November 1, 2006, the Company acquired Allied Aerospace Industries, Inc. (“Allied”) through the merger of a newly organized, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with and into Allied. The acquired business has since been consolidated into a single subsidiary of the Company, Triumph Aerospace Systems – Newport News, Inc.  The acquisition of this business allows the Company to meet the growing demand for outsourced technical design and engineering capabilities.  Triumph Aerospace Systems – Newport News, Inc. specializes in engineering design and manufacturing solutions for complex aerospace and defense programs.  The results for Triumph Aerospace Systems – Newport News, Inc. are included in the Company’s Aerospace Systems Segment.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company revised the purchase price allocation for the Allied acquisition as a result of receiving the final appraisal of tangible and intangible assets.  Based on the revised allocation, an additional $100 was allocated to intangible assets while the amount allocated to tangible assets was reduced by $232 and goodwill was reduced by $897.  The Company is still finalizing the deferred tax accounting related to its acquisition of Allied.  Therefore, the allocation of purchase price for the acquisition of Allied is not complete and is subject to change.

Acquisition of Grand Prairie Accessory Services, LLC

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company acquired the assets and business of Grand Prairie Accessory Services, LLC (“Grand Prairie”) through a newly organized, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Triumph Accessory Services – Grand Prairie, Inc.  Triumph Accessory Services – Grand Prairie, Inc. provides comprehensive maintenance solutions for engine accessories related to the CF34, CFM56, CF6, CT7 and V2500 family of engines.  Capabilities include fuel, oil, pneumatic, hydraulic and mechanical engine accessories for those and other aero and aero-derivative gas turbine engines.  The results for Triumph Accessory Services – Grand Prairie are included in the Company’s Aftermarket Services Segment.

The Company is awaiting final appraisals of tangible and intangible assets and the finalization of deferred tax accounting related to its acquisition of Grand Prairie.  Therefore, the allocation of purchase price for the acquisition of Grand Prairie is not complete and is subject to change.

8




The following unaudited pro forma information for the three months ended June 30, 2006 have been prepared assuming these acquisitions had occurred on April 1, 2006. The pro forma information for the three months ended June 30, 2006 is as follows: Net sales: $234,034; Income from continuing operations: $11,872; Income per share from continuing operations-basic: $0.74; Income per share from continuing operations-diluted: $0.73.

4.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

In July 2007, the Company signed a letter of intent to sell Triumph Precision, a build-to-specification manufacturer and supplier of ultra-precision machined components and assemblies in its Aerospace Systems Segment.  The Company is also in negotiations to sell Triumph Precision Castings Company, a casting facility that specializes in producing high quality hot gas path components for aero and land based gas turbines in its Aftermarket Services Segment.  These transactions are expected to be completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $4,000 based upon a write-down of the carrying value of these businesses to their estimated fair value less costs to sell.  The write-down was applied to long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property, plant and equipment.  For financial statement purposes, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of these businesses have been segregated from those of the continuing operations and are presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held for sale.

Revenues of discontinued operations were $4,464 and $4,826 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.  The loss from discontinued operations was $3,894 and $1,033, net of income tax benefit of $2,097 and $556, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.  Interest expense of $756 and $674 was allocated to discontinued operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively, based upon the actual borrowings of the operations, and the amount is included in the loss from discontinued operations.

Assets and liabilities held for sale are comprised of the following:

Effective April 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  The cumulative effects of adoption of FIN 48 has been recorded as a charge of $291 to retained earnings, an increase of $66 to net deferred income tax liabilities and an increase of $225 to income taxes payable as of April 1, 2007.

In conjunction with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company has classified uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities unless expected to be paid in one year.  Penalties and tax-related interest expense are reported as a component of income tax expense.  As of June 30, 2007 and April 1, 2007, the total amount of accrued income tax-related interest and penalties included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $215 and $174, respectively.

As of June 30, 2007 and April 1, 2007, the Company was subject to examination in a state jurisdiction for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 through March 31, 2006, none of which was individually material.  The Company has filed appeals in a state jurisdiction related to fiscal years ended March 31, 1999 through March 31, 2003.   We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

As of June 30, 2007 and April 1, 2007, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2,688 and $2,534, of which $2,335 and $2,181 would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to US federal income tax examinations for fiscal years ended before March 31, 2005, state or local examinations for fiscal years ended before March 31, 2004, or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years ended before March 31, 2006.

10.  SEGMENTS

The Company is organized based on the products and services that it provides.  Under this organizational structure, the Company has two reportable segments:  the Aerospace Systems Group and the Aftermarket Services Group.  The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating income of each reportable segment.  The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2).  Each segment has a president and controller who manage their respective segment.  The segment president reports directly to the President and CEO of the Company, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), as defined in SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.  The segment presidents maintain regular contact with the CODM to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts and plans for the segment.   The segment controllers have dual reporting responsibilities, reporting to both their segment president as well as the Corporate Controller.  The Company’s CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon review of segment information.  The CODM utilizes operating income as a primary measure of profitability.

At June  30, 2007, our Aerospace Systems segment consists of 33 operating locations, and the Aftermarket Services segment consists of 17 operating locations.

The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Company’s operations which manufacture products primarily for the aerospace OEM market. The Aerospace Systems operations design and engineer mechanical and electromechanical controls, such as hydraulic systems and components, main engine gearbox assemblies, accumulators and mechanical control cables. The Aerospace Systems revenues are also derived from stretch forming, die forming, milling, bonding, machining, welding and assembly and fabrication of various structural components used in aircraft wings, fuselages and other significant assemblies. Further, the segment’s operations also design and manufacture composite assemblies for floor panels, environmental control system ducts and non-structural cockpit components.  These products are sold to various aerospace OEMs on a global basis.

The Aftermarket Services segment consists of the Company’s operations that provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services to both commercial and military markets on components and accessories manufactured by third parties. Maintenance, repair and overhaul revenues are derived from services on auxiliary power units, airframe and engine accessories, including constant-speed drives, cabin compressors, starters and generators, and pneumatic drive units. In addition, the Aftermarket Services operations repair and overhaul thrust reversers, nacelle components and flight control surfaces. The Aftermarket Services operations also perform repair and overhaul services, and supply spare parts for various types of cockpit instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial airlines on a worldwide basis.

Segment operating income is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses identifiable with that segment. Corporate includes general corporate administrative costs and any other costs not identifiable with one of the Company’s segments.

The Company does not accumulate net sales information by product or service or groups of similar products and services, and therefore the Company does not disclose net sales by product or service because to do so would be impracticable.

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

(The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein.)

OVERVIEW

We are a major supplier to the aerospace industry and have two operating segments: (i) Triumph Aerospace Systems Group, whose companies design, engineer and manufacture a wide range of proprietary and build to print components, assemblies and systems for the global aerospace OEM market; and (ii) Triumph Aftermarket Services Group, whose companies serve aircraft fleets, notably commercial airlines, the U.S. military and cargo carriers, through the maintenance, repair and overhaul services of aircraft components and accessories manufactured by third parties.

·                  Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 26% to $275.0 million

·                  Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 57% to $30.3 million

·                  Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 70% to $17.8 million

·                  Backlog increased 27% over the prior year to $1,187.8 million

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, net sales totaled $275.0 million, a 26% increase from last year’s first quarter net sales of $218.0 million.  Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 70% to $17.8 million, or $1.04 per diluted common share, versus $10.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of the prior year.  During the quarter, we used $10.8 million of cash flow from operating activities.

Net sales increased by $57.0 million, or 26.2%, to $275.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $218.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.  The acquisitions of the assets of Allied Aerospace Industries, Inc. and Grand Prairie Accessory Services, LLC, herein referred to as the “2007 Acquisitions”, contributed $13.6 million of the net sales increase.  Excluding the effects of the 2007 Acquisitions, sales growth was $43.0 million, or 19.7%.

The Aerospace Systems segment benefited primarily from increased sales to our OEM customers driven by increased aircraft build rates, while the increase in sales for our Aftermarket Services segment was the result of increased demand for our services as a result of growth in global air traffic.

Segment operating income increased by $12.7 million, or 54.6%, to $36.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $23.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.  Operating income growth was a direct result of margins attained on increased sales volume as described above, improved execution and the contribution of $1.1 million from the 2007 Acquisitions, partially offset by increases in payroll, healthcare, litigation costs and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Corporate expenses increased by $1.7 million, or 41.1%, to $5.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $4.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to increased litigation costs, workers compensation and stock compensation, partially offset by an insurance reimbursement related to product liability claims.

Interest expense and other increased by $0.1 million, or 4.9%, to $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to $3.1 million for the prior year period.  This increase was due to higher average borrowings outstanding and amortization of debt issuance costs, partially offset by lower interest on our convertible notes issued in September 2006 as compared to the previously outstanding Class A Senior Notes and Class B Senior Notes.

The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was 33.9% compared to 35.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.  The decrease in the tax rate was primarily due to the retroactive reinstatement of the research and experimentation tax credit in December 2006.  Accordingly, the quarter ended June 30, 2006 did not include the benefit from the research and experimentation tax credit.

Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes was $6.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, which included an impairment charge of $4.0 million compared with a loss from discontinued operations before income taxes of $1.6 million for the first quarter ended June 30, 2006.  The benefit for income taxes was $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to a benefit of $0.6 million in the prior year period.

The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Company’s operations which manufacture products primarily for the aerospace OEM market. The Aerospace Systems operations design and engineer mechanical and electromechanical controls, such as hydraulic systems and components, main engine gearbox assemblies, accumulators and mechanical control cables. The Aerospace Systems revenues are also derived from stretch forming, die forming, milling, bonding, machining, welding and assembly and fabrication of various structural components used in aircraft wings, fuselages and other significant assemblies.

Aerospace Systems: The Aerospace Systems segment net sales increased by $44.7 million, or 25.9%, to $217.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $172.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to increased sales to our OEM customers of $39.0 million driven by increased aircraft build rates and the additional sales associated with the acquisition of the assets and business of Allied Aerospace Industries, Inc. (now Triumph Aerospace Systems – Newport News).

Aerospace Systems segment operating income increased by $10.0 million, or 49.1%, to $30.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $20.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Operating income increased due to higher margins generated on increased sales volume as described above partially offset by increases in staffing, depreciation and amortization expenses, and increased investments in research and development costs.

Aftermarket Services: The Aftermarket Services segment net sales increased by $11.9 million, or 25.5%, to $58.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $46.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. This increase was due to the sales increase associated with the acquisition of the assets and business of Grand Prairie Accessory Services, LLC (now Triumph Accessory Services – Grand Prairie, Inc.), and an increase in same store sales of $4.0 million due to new customers and products, growth in global commercial air traffic and U.S. military maintenance requirements resulting in increased demand for the repair and overhaul of auxiliary power units and the brokering of similar units.

Aftermarket Services segment operating income increased by $2.7 million, or 91.6%, to $5.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $3.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.  Operating income increased primarily due to margins attained on increased sales volume as described above and the contribution from the acquisition of Triumph Accessory Services – Grand Prairie partially offset by increases in payroll, costs associated with the startup of our new Thailand maintenance and repair facility and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital needs are generally funded through cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit arrangements.  During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we used approximately $10.8 million of cash flows in operating activities, used approximately $11.2 million in investing activities and generated approximately $20.8 million in financing activities.

As of June 30, 2007, $225.2 million was available under our revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).  On June 30, 2007, an aggregate amount of approximately $118.4 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, $110.0 million of which was accruing interest at LIBOR plus applicable basis points totaling 6.2% per annum, and $8.4 million of which was accruing interest at the overnight rate of 6.3% per annum.  Amounts repaid under the Credit Facility may be reborrowed.

Effective April 2007, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a customer relating to a long-term supply agreement (“LTSA”). The LTSA is related to the Company’s acquisition of Rolls-Royce Gear Systems, Inc. in fiscal 2004.  The Company has been producing the component parts for this LTSA at a loss for approximately one year which has been reserved for through a loss contract reserve. The agreement provides for the parties to establish a transition plan that provides for the customer to re-source the component parts from other suppliers, essentially terminating the Company’s requirement to provide future deliveries of these component parts. The agreement establishes a date no later than December 31, 2008 for completion of the re-sourcing effort, as well as providing a cap on the number of units during this time period. Additionally, the Company will be required to make four payments of $0.5 million each over the next two years, upon successful transition of the component parts, by the customer, to other vendors. The Company recorded the estimated impact of this settlement in its March 31, 2007 balance sheet, which did not result in a significant adjustment to the recorded loss reserve. As of June 30, 2007, the recorded loss reserve was $6.2 million.  If the transition is completed earlier than December 2008 or, the number of delivered units produced by the Company is less than the cap established in the settlement agreement, the recorded loss reserve may be in excess of the amount required. Because we cannot determine the extent of re-sourcing that may occur or the timing of the re-sourcing, we will monitor progress and make appropriate adjustments, as may be necessary, to the loss contract reserve on a periodic basis.

Capital expenditures were approximately $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily for manufacturing machinery and equipment.  We funded these expenditures through borrowings under our Credit Facility.  We expect capital expenditures to be in the range of $55.0 to $70.0 million for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2008.  The expenditures are expected to be used mainly to expand capacity or replace old equipment at several facilities.

The expected future cash flows for the next five years for long term debt, leases and other obligations are as follows:

(2) Includes interest component.

(3) Includes fixed-rate interest only.

We believe that cash generated by operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for our current operations.  However, we have a stated policy to grow through acquisition and are continuously evaluating various acquisition opportunities.  As a result, we currently are pursuing the potential purchase of a number of candidates.  In the event that more than one of these transactions are successfully consummated, the availability under the Credit Facility might be fully utilized and additional funding sources, such as the sale of debt or equity securities, may be needed.  There can be no assurance that such funding sources will be available to us on terms favorable to us, if at all.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s critical accounting policies are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and notes accompanying the consolidated financial statements that appear in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Except as otherwise disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report, there were no material changes subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007

17




in the Company’s critical accounting policies or in the assumptions or estimates used to prepare the financial information appearing in this report.

Forward Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to our future operations and prospects, including statements that are based on current projections and expectations about the markets in which we operate, and our beliefs concerning future performance and capital requirements based upon current available information.  Such statements are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us.  When used in this document, words like “may”, “might”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “potential”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements.  Actual results could differ materially from our current expectations.  For example, there can be no assurance that additional capital will not be required or that additional capital, if required, will be available on reasonable terms, if at all, at such times and in such amounts as may be needed by us.  In addition to these factors, among other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are uncertainties relating to the integration of acquired businesses, general economic conditions affecting our business, dependence of certain of our businesses on certain key customers as well as competitive factors relating to the aviation industry. For a more detailed discussion of these and other factors affecting us, see the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, filed with the SEC in June 2007.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

For information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, see “Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.  There has been no material change in this information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of June 30, 2007, we completed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2007.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

TRIUMPH GROUP, INC.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.                Legal Proceedings.

As we have previously disclosed, our company, our subsidiary Triumph Actuation Systems, LLC (formerly Frisby Aerospace, LLC) and certain employees of ours and our subsidiaries are the defendants in a suit brought by Eaton Corporation and several Eaton subsidiaries in the Circuit Court of the First Judicial District of Hinds County, Mississippi, involving claims of misappropriation of trade secrets and intellectual property allegedly belonging to Eaton relating to hydraulic pumps and motors used in military and commercial aviation.  We have also disclosed that, in a separate proceeding, five engineers of Triumph Actuation Systems who are former employees of Eaton Aerospace, LLC, have been indicted by a grand jury sitting in the Southern District of Mississippi on five counts of trade secret misappropriation, mail and wire fraud and conspiracy to misappropriate trade secrets and commit mail and wire fraud. 

 

On June 15, 2007, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi dismissed all but part of one of the counts of the indictment in the criminal case, leaving a charge of conspiracy to misappropriate trade secrets.  We understand that the government is currently considering its options, including whether to issue a superseding indictment within a time frame that will allow the maintenance of the previously scheduled September 2007 trial date.  In the meantime, the government has provided the defendant engineers an opportunity to present facts they believe support their position that no crime has occurred and that the case should be dismissed in its entirety.  No charges have been brought against Triumph Actuation Systems, and we understand that neither Triumph Actuation Systems nor our company is currently the subject of the criminal investigation.

 

In the civil case, after a previously entered stay of discovery was lifted by the Circuit Court of Hinds County, the defendants moved to stay discovery until completion of the criminal trial in order to protect the defendant engineers’ Fifth Amendment rights.  On June 25, 2007, the Mississippi Supreme Court, on appeal by the defendant engineers from the Circuit Court’s denial of the motion, granted a stay of at least the engineers’ depositions pending a hearing on their appeal of the Court’s decision.  On July 31, 2007, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi filed a motion seeking to intervene in the civil case and requesting a partial stay of discovery.  On August 1, 2007, the Circuit Court stayed all discovery in the civil case pending clarification from the Mississippi Supreme Court on whether all discovery should be stayed pending completion of the criminal trial.  No schedule for hearing the matters on appeal has been set.

 

No trial date has been scheduled in the civil case. It is too early to determine what, if any, exposure to liability Triumph Actuation Systems or we might face as a result of the civil suit. We intend to continue to vigorously defend the allegations contained in Eaton’s complaint and to vigorously prosecute the counterclaims brought by Triumph Actuation Systems.
