Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(The following should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.)
ACQUISITION
On January 30, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of DME
Corporation (DME). The purchase price was approximately $50 million, comprised
of approximately $40.7 million in cash, 500,000 shares of the Company's common
stock held as treasury shares, valued at $3.6 million, or $7.17 per share, a
$5.0 million subordinated note payable to the former shareholders plus an
additional contingent $2.0 million subordinated note payable, subject to meeting
revenue performance criteria in 2009. The $2.0 million note will not be paid
should DME fail to attain the agreed upon 2009 calendar year revenue
performance. At July 4, 2009, the Company believes the probability of achieving
this revenue target is low, as such the Company has valued the note at
$0.1 million, its estimated fair value. DME is a designer and manufacturer of
military test training and simulation equipment and aviation safety products.
The aviation safety products are included in the Aerospace segment. The test
training and simulation equipment products comprise the Test Systems segment.
