timely completion of contracts; any actions which may be taken by SNPE as the
controlling shareholder of the Company with respect to the Company and our
businesses; the timing and size of expenditures; the timely receipt of
government approvals and permits; the adequacy of local labor supplies at our

DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The information included in the Consolidated Financial Statements is
unaudited but includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
periods presented. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements that are included in the Company's
Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DMC and any
subsidiary in which it has a greater than a 50% interest. All significant
intercompany accounts, profits and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Foreign Operations and Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
-------------------------------------------------

The functional currency for our foreign operations is the applicable local
currency for each affiliate company. Assets and liabilities of foreign
subsidiaries for which the functional currency is the local currency are
translated at exchange rates in effect at period-end, and the statements of
operations are translated at the average exchange rates during the period.
Exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency financial statements
into U.S. Dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as
translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a
separate component of stockholders' equity and are included in other cumulative
comprehensive income (loss). Transactions denominated in currencies other than
the local currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such
transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction
gains and losses which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on
period-end translations) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Cash
flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated at actual exchange
rates when known, or at the average rate for the period. As a result, amounts
related to assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated statements of
cash flows will not agree to changes in the corresponding balances in the
consolidated balance sheets. The effects of exchange rate changes on cash
balances held in foreign currencies are reported as a separate line item below
cash flows from financing activities.

Revenue Recognition
-------------------

DMC's contracts with its customers generally require the production and
delivery of multiple units or products. The Company records revenue from the
contracts using the completed contract method as products are completed and


10


shipped to the customer. If, as a contract proceeds toward completion, projected
total cost on an individual contract indicates a potential loss, we provide
currently for such anticipated loss.

Stock Based Compensation
------------------------

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"), and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25,
because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options is generally
equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no
compensation expense is recognized. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"),
establishes an alternative method of expense recognition for stock-based
compensation awards to employees that is based on fair values. The Company
elected not to adopt SFAS 123 for expense recognition purposes.

Pro-forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted
for its employee stock options and employees stock purchase plan under the fair
value method of SFAS 123. There were no shares issued in connection with the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and
2002. Additionally, there were no stock options granted during the three months
ended March 31, 2002. The fair value of the options granted was estimated at the
date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions:


Three Months ended
March 31, 2003
--------------

Risk-free interest rate 2.5%
Expected lives 4.0 years
Expected volatility 101.0%
Expected dividend yield 0%


The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options. Because
changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock
options.

The weighted average fair value of options granted for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 was $2.36. For purposes of pro-forma disclosures, the
estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options'
vesting periods. The Company's pro-forma net income (loss) and pro-forma net
income (loss) per share, as if the Company had used the fair value accounting
provisions of SFAS 123, are shown below.

Impact of SFAS 142
------------------

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, on January 1, 2002 and completed
its determination of the goodwill impairment of the PMP division in the fourth
quarter of 2002. The transitional impairment of $2,318,108, net of taxes of
$1,482,000, was recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle as of January 1, 2002 and required the restatement of net income in
the consolidated statement of operations as of March 31, 2002.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------

On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations, which establishes accounting standards for recognition
and measurement of a liability for an asset retirement obligation and the
associated asset retirement cost. The adoption of this pronouncement did not
have a material impact on the Company.

On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which specifies that a liability
for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized at the
date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The adoption of this
pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation--Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative
methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires
that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently
and in a tabular format. The Company has implemented all required disclosures of
SFAS 148. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect
in interim financial statements. The transition requirements of SFAS No. 148 are
effective for the Company's fiscal year 2003. The Company does not plan to
transition to a fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation.

5. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

DMC is organized in the following two segments: the Explosive Metalworking
Group and the Aerospace Group. The Explosive Metalworking Group uses explosives
to perform metal cladding and shock synthesis. The most significant product of
this group is clad metal which is used in the fabrication of pressure vessels,
heat exchangers and transition joints used in the hydrocarbon processing,
chemical processing, power generation, petrochemical, pulp and paper, mining,
shipbuilding and heat, ventilation and air conditioning industries. The
Aerospace Group machines, forms and welds parts for the commercial aircraft,
aerospace and defense industries.

DMC's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different
products and services and are separately managed. Each segment is marketed to
different customer types and requires different manufacturing processes and
technologies. Segment information is presented for the three months ended March
31, 2003 and 2002 as follows:

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

General

DMC is a worldwide leader in explosive metalworking and, through its
Aerospace Group, is involved in a variety of metal forming, machining, welding,
and assembly activities. The explosive metalworking business includes the use of
explosives to perform metallurgical bonding (or "metal cladding") and shock
synthesis of synthetic diamonds. DMC performs metal cladding using its
proprietary technologies.

Explosive Metalworking. Clad metal products are used in manufacturing
processes or environments that involve highly corrosive chemicals, high
temperatures and/or high pressure conditions. For example, we fabricate clad
metal tube sheets for heat exchangers. Heat exchangers are used in a variety of
high temperature, high pressure, highly corrosive chemical processes, such as
processing crude oil in the petrochemical industry and processing chemicals used
in the manufacture of synthetic fibers. In addition, DMC has produced titanium
clad plates used in the fabrication of metal autoclaves to replace autoclaves
made of brick and lead for customers in the nickel mining industry. We believe
that our clad metal products are an economical, high-performance alternative to
the use of solid corrosion-resistant alloys. In addition to clad metal products,
the explosive metalworking business includes shock synthesis of synthetic
diamonds.

On July 3, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all
of the outstanding stock of Nobelclad Europe S.A. ("Nobelclad") from Nobel
Explosifs France ("NEF"). Nobelclad and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nitro
Metall AB ("Nitro Metall") are the primary manufacturers of explosion clad
products in Europe and operate cladding businesses located in Rivesaltes, France
and Likenas, Sweden, respectively, along with sales offices in each country.
Products manufactured by Nobelclad and Nitro Metall are similar to those
produced by DMC's domestic factory in Mount Braddock, Pennsylvania. NEF is
wholly owned by Groupe SNPE and is a sister company to SNPE, Inc., which owns
55% of the Company's common stock.

Aerospace Manufacturing. Products manufactured by our Aerospace Group are
typically made from sheet metal and forgings that are subsequently machined or
formed into precise, three-dimensional shapes that are held to tight tolerances.
Metal machining and forming is accomplished through traditional technologies,
including spinning, machining, rolling and hydraulic expansion. DMC also
performs welding services utilizing a variety of manual and automatic welding
techniques that include electron beam and gas tungsten arc welding processes.
Forming and welding operations are often performed to support the manufacture of
completed assemblies and sub-assemblies required by our customers. Fabrication
and assembly services are performed utilizing close-tolerance machining,
forming, welding, inspection and other special service capabilities. Our
forming, machining, welding and assembly operations serve a variety of product


16


applications in the commercial aircraft, aerospace, defense and power generation
industries. Product applications include tactical missile motor cases, titanium
pressure tanks for launch vehicles, and complex, high precision component parts
for satellites.

In January 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of the assets of AMK
Welding ("AMK"), a supplier of commercial aircraft engine, ground-based turbine
and aerospace-related welding services that include the use of automatic and
manual gas tungsten, electron beam and arc welding techniques. The Company
completed its acquisition of the assets of Spin Forge, LLC ("Spin Forge"), a
manufacturer of tactical missile motor cases and titanium pressure vessels for
commercial aerospace and defense industries, in March 1998. In December 1998,
the Company completed its acquisition of the assets of Precision Machined
Products, Inc. ("PMP"), a contract machining shop specializing in high
precision, high quality, complex machined parts used in the aerospace,
satellite, medical equipment and high technology industries.

Impact of SFAS No. 142. In June 2001, the FASB authorized the issuance of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill will no longer be amortized on a
straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, but will be tested for
impairment on an annual basis and whenever indicators of impairment arise. The
goodwill impairment test, which is based on fair value, is to be performed on a
reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as a SFAS No. 131 operating
segment or one level lower. Goodwill will no longer be allocated to other
long-lived assets for impairment testing under SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of.
Under SFAS No. 142, intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be
amortized. Instead they will be carried at the lower cost or market value and
tested for impairment at least annually. All other recognized intangible assets
will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

SFAS No. 142 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. DMC adopted SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002 and in early 2002 disclosed
that up to the full amount of the remaining goodwill associated with the
Company's 1998 acquisition of PMP could be impaired. In the fourth quarter of
2002, DMC completed its evaluation of goodwill impairment at PMP and determined
that the remaining goodwill in the amount of $3,800,108 was impaired.
Accordingly, we wrote off all of the remaining PMP goodwill, less associated tax
benefits of $1,482,000, and reported the resultant after tax loss of $2,318,108,
or $.46 per diluted share, as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle. The accompanying March 31, 2002 financial statements have been
restated to reflect the cumulative effect of this accounting principle change.

DMC generated significant operating income in 2001 and 2002 due to the
strong financial performance of its Explosive Metalworking Group, which had
earned a small operating profit in 2000 after incurring significant operating
losses in 1999. DMC has also experienced, and expects to continue to experience,
quarterly fluctuations in operating results caused by various factors, including
the timing and size of orders from major customers, customer inventory levels,
shifts in product mix, the occurrence of acquisition and divestiture-related
costs, and general economic conditions. Additionally, the aftermath of the Iraqi
war, the threat of terrorism and other geopolitical uncertainty could have a
negative impact on the global economy, the industries served by DMC and DMC's
operating results. We typically do not obtain long-term volume purchase
contracts from our customers. Quarterly sales and operating results therefore
depend on the volume and timing of backlog as well as bookings received during
the quarter. A significant portion of our operating expenses is fixed, and
planned expenditures are based primarily on sales forecasts and product


17


development programs. If sales do not meet our expectations in any given period,
the adverse impact on operating results may be magnified by our inability to
adjust operating expenses sufficiently or quickly enough to compensate for such
a shortfall. In addition, DMC uses numerous suppliers of alloys, steels and
other materials for its operations. We typically bear the short-term risk of
alloy, steel and other component price increases, which could adversely affect
our gross profit margins. Although DMC will work with customers and suppliers to
minimize the impact of any component shortages, component shortages have had,
and are expected from time to time to have, short-term adverse effects on the
our business. Results of operations in any period should not be considered
indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. Fluctuations in
operating results may also result in fluctuations in the price of our common
stock.

=== =====

Net Sales. Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 decreased by 18.7% to
$9,736,235 from $11,974,211 in the first quarter of 2002. Sales by the Explosive
Metalworking Group, which includes explosion bonding of clad metal and shock


18


synthesis of synthetic diamonds, decreased by 24.4% to $7,273,031 in the first
quarter of 2003 from $9,620,393 in the first quarter of 2002. The Aerospace
Group contributed sales of $2,463,204 (25.3% of total sales) in the first
quarter of 2003 versus $2,353,818 (19.7% of total sales) in the first quarter of
2002. The 4.6% quarter-to-quarter improvement in Aerospace Group sales is
principally due to a 12% sales increase at the Group's Precision Machined
Products Division along with sales increases of 2% and 3% at AMK Welding and
Spin Forge, respectively.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 decreased by 32%
to $2,126,017 from $3,125,512 in the first quarter of 2002. The gross profit
margin for the first quarter of 2003 was 21.8%, a 16.5% decrease from the gross
profit margin of 26.1% for the first quarter of 2002. The gross profit margin
for the Explosive Metalworking Group decreased to 28.4% in the first quarter of
2003 from 33.1% in the 2002 first quarter. The decrease in the gross profit
margin for the Explosive Metalworking Group is attributable to the 24.4%
decrease in sales discussed above and the resultant less favorable absorption of
fixed manufacturing overhead expenses. The gross profit margin for the Aerospace
Group was a positive 2.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to a
negative gross margin of 2.7% in the first quarter of 2002. The slight increase
in the Aerospace Group gross margin reflects modest improvements in gross
margins at all three divisions. However, Precision Machined Products continued
to deflate the overall gross margins of the Aerospace Group by reporting a
negative gross margin of 34.5% in the first quarter of 2003 as compared to a
negative gross margin of approximately 50% in the 2002 first quarter. In both
the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, PMP's sales volume was insufficient to cover
direct cost of sales and fixed manufacturing expenses.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended March 31, 2003 were $1,004,543 as compared to $1,029,029 in the first
quarter of 2002. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative
expenses increased from 8.6% in the first quarter of 2002 to 10.3% in the first
quarter of 2003 as a result of the 18.7% decrease in first quarter 2003 sales.

Selling Expense. Selling expenses increased by 14.6% to $728,996 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2003 from $635,955 in the first quarter of 2002. This increase
is attributable to an increase in outside selling commissions associated with a
large Russian order that Nobelclad Europe shipped during the first quarter of
2003. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses increased from 5.3% in the
first quarter of 2002 to 7.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as a result
of the increase in outside sales commissions and the decrease in first quarter
2003 sales.

Income from Operations. For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, we reported income
from operations of $392,478, a decrease of 73.1% from the $1,460,528 of
operating income reported for the first quarter of 2002. Our Explosive
Metalworking Group reported income from operations of $676,634 in the first
quarter of 2003 as compared to operating income of $1,950,302 for the comparable
period of 2002. This significant decrease reflects a sales decrease of
$2,347,362, or 24.4%, and a decrease in the Group's gross margin rate from 33.1%
in 2002 to 28.4% in 2003. Our Aerospace Group reported an operating loss of
$284,156 in the first quarter of 2003 as compared to an operating loss of
$489,774 in the prior year first quarter. The Group's decreased first quarter
2003 operating loss is attributable to decreased operating losses at both the
Precision Machined Products and Spin Forge divisions. AMK Welding reported first
quarter 2003 operating income that was slightly ahead of its 2002 first quarter
operating income.



19


Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $143,709 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003 from $184,537 in the first quarter of 2002. This decrease
reflects a combination of lower outstanding borrowings and lower average
interest rates in 2003.

Income Tax Provision. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, we recorded a
consolidated income tax provision of $100,324 on income before income taxes and
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as compared to a
consolidated income tax provision of $496,871 for the first quarter of 2002. The
effective tax rate increased slightly to 39.5% in 2003 from 38.7% in 2002.

Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle. On January 1, 2002, DMC
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, and in early 2002 disclosed that up to the full amount of the
remaining goodwill associated with the Company's 1998 acquisition of PMP could
be impaired. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we completed our evaluation of
goodwill impairment at PMP and determined that the remaining goodwill in the
amount of $3,800,108 was impaired. Accordingly, we wrote off all of the
remaining PMP goodwill, less associated tax benefits of $1,482,000, and reported
the resultant after tax loss of $2,318,108 as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. The financial statements for the three months ended March
31, 2002 have been restated to reflect the cumulative effect of this change in
accounting principle.

Net Income. We recorded net income of $153,705 in the first quarter of 2003
compared to a net loss of $1,531,572 in the first quarter of 2002. The 2002
first quarter net loss is entirely attributable to the $2,318,108 goodwill
impairment charge discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have obtained most of our operational financing from a
combination of operating activities and an asset-backed revolving credit
facility. In December 2001, we obtained a $6,000,000 revolving line of credit
with an U.S. bank that replaced the $4,500,000 credit facility between DMC and
SNPE, Inc. This bank line of credit is being used to finance ongoing working
capital requirements of our U.S. operations. Initial proceeds from the bank line
were used to repay $3,650,000 of borrowings that were outstanding under the
credit facility with SNPE, Inc. The bank line, which expires on December 4,
2004, carried an interest rate equal to the bank's prime rate plus 1.0% through
February 28, 2002, which was reduced to the bank's prime rate plus 0.5%
thereafter. Borrowings under the line of credit are limited to a calculated
borrowing base that is a function of inventory and accounts receivable balances
and are secured by accounts receivable and inventory of our U.S. operations and
by new investments in property, plant and equipment that are made during the
term of the agreement. As of March 31, 2003, borrowing availability under the
line of credit was approximately $3.1 million greater than the $756,309 in
outstanding borrowings as of that date.

In connection with its July 3, 2001 acquisition of Nobelclad, the Company
entered into a $4,000,000 term loan agreement with SNPE. The term loan bears
interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus 3.0%, payable quarterly. Commencing
September 30, 2002 and on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter,
principal payments of $333,333 are due, with a final principal payment of
$333,337 being due on June 30, 2005. The term loan is secured by a pledge of 65%
of the capital stock of Nobelclad held by the Company. In anticipation of its


20


acquisition by the Company, Nobelclad acquired the stock of Nitro Metall and
financed this acquisition with proceeds obtained from a revolving credit
facility with a French bank that provides for maximum borrowings of 1,448,266
Euros ($1,564,127 based upon the March 31, 2003 exchange rate). This bank line
of credit, which had outstanding borrowings of $1,564,127 on March 31, 2003,
carries interest at the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") plus 0.4%.
Beginning on June 21, 2004 and on each anniversary date thereafter until final
maturity on June 21, 2008, maximum borrowings available under the line become
permanently reduced by 289,653 Euros. The bank has the option of demanding early
repayment of any outstanding loans if Groupe SNPE's indirect ownership of
Nobelclad falls below 50%. Nobelclad also maintains a 2 million Euro ($2,160,000
based upon the March 31, 2003 exchange rate) intercompany working capital line
with Groupe SNPE under which no borrowings were outstanding as of March 31,
2002. This intercompany line bears interest at EURIBOR plus 1.5%.

The Company believes that its cash flow from operations and funds available
under its credit facilities will be sufficient to fund working capital, debt
service obligations and capital expenditure requirements of its current business
operations for the foreseeable future. However, a significant portion of the
Company's sales is derived from a relatively small number of customers;
therefore, the failure to perform existing contracts on a timely basis, and to
receive payment for such services in a timely manner, or to enter into future
contracts at projected volumes and profitability levels could adversely affect
the Company's ability to meet its cash requirements exclusively through
operating activities. Consequently, any restriction on the availability of
borrowing under the Company's credit facilities could negatively affect the
Company's ability to meet its future cash requirements. DMC attempts to minimize
its risk of losing customers or specific contracts by continually improving
product quality, delivering product on time and competing favorably on the basis
of price. Risks associated with the availability of funds is minimized by
borrowing from multiple lenders. The nature of DMC's business is largely
insulated from the negative effects of inflation on sales and operating income
because the pricing on custom orders reflects current raw material and other
manufacturing costs.

The table below presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average
interest rates by expected maturity dates for the Company's debt obligations.

Highlights from the Statement of Cash Flows for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2003

Net cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March
31, 2003 totaled $1,929,709. Significant sources of operating cash flow included
net income of $153,705, depreciation and amortization of $429,987 and positive
net changes of $1,374,670 in various components of working capital, including a
$2,113,810 decrease in accounts receivable.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $320,253 and was comprised
primarily of capital expenditures in the amount of $343,033.

Net cash flows used in financing activities totaled $1,165,138. Significant
uses of cash for financing activities included repayments on bank lines of
credit and bank overdrafts aggregating $626,805, a $333,333 principal payment on
the SNPE, Inc. term loan and an industrial development revenue bond principal
payment of $205,000.

Highlights from the Statement of Cash Flows for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2002

Net cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2002 totaled $1,324,072. Significant uses of operating cash flow
included a net loss of $1,531,572 and net negative changes in various components
of working capital in the amount of $2,807,139. Theses uses of operating cash
flow were largely offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of
$435,438, a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2,318,108 (net of related
deferred tax benefits) and a $264,705 provision for deferred income taxes. Net
changes in working capital included a $3,605,279 increase in accounts receivable
that resulted from the high level of sales we experienced in March 2002.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $651,718 and was comprised
primarily of capital expenditures in the amount of $689,460.

Net cash flows from financing activities totaled $545,830. The primary
source of cash flow from financing activities was a bank overdraft of $804,937
that was partially offset by principal payments on industrial development
revenue bonds in the amount of $205,000 and an $82,887 decrease in bank line of
credit borrowings.

Future Capital Needs and Resources

We anticipate that, for the foreseeable future, significant amounts of
available cash flows will be utilized for:

- operating expenses to support our domestic and foreign manufacturing
operations;
- capital expenditures;
- debt service requirements; and
- other general corporate expenditures.

We expect cash inflows from operating activities to exceed outflows for the
full year 2003. However, our success depends on the execution of our strategies,
including our ability to:

- secure an adequate level of new customer orders at all operating
divisions; and
- continue to implement the most cost-effective internal
processes.



22


Based on available cash resources, anticipated capital expenditures and
projected operating cash flow, we believe that we will be able to fully fund our
operations through 2003. In making this assessment, we have considered:

- presently scheduled debt service requirements during the remainder
of 2003 as well as the availability of funding related to our line
of credit with SNPE and our bank lines of credit;
- the anticipated level of capital expenditures during the remainder
of 2003;
- our expectation of realizing positive cash flow from operations
during the three reminding quarters of 2003.

If our business plans change, or if economic conditions change materially,
our cash flow, profitability and anticipated cash needs could change
significantly. In particular, any acquisition or new business opportunity could
involve significant additional funding needs in excess of the identified
currently available sources, and could require us to raise additional equity or
debt funding to meet those needs.

Significant Accounting Policies

In response to the SEC's Release No. 33-8040, Cautionary Advice Regarding
Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, we identified the most critical
accounting principles upon which our financial status depends. We determined the
critical principles by considering accounting policies that involve the most
complex or subjective decisions or assessments. We identified our most critical
accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition, inventory
valuation and impact of foreign currency exchange rate risks.

Revenue Recognition. The Company's contracts with its customers generally
require the production and delivery of multiple units or products. The Company
records revenue from its contracts using the completed contract method as
products are completed and shipped to the customer. If, as a contract proceeds
toward completion, projected total cost on an individual contract indicates a
potential loss, the Company provides currently for such anticipated loss.

Inventory Valuation. Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost (first-in,
first-out) or market value. Cost elements included in inventory are material,
labor, subcontract costs and factory overhead.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks. The functional currency for
the Company's foreign operations is the applicable local currency for each
affiliate company. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries for which the
functional currency is the local currency are translated at exchange rates in
effect at period-end, and the statements of operations are translated at the
average exchange rates during the period. Exchange rate fluctuations on
translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars that result
in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments.
Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of
stockholders' equity and are included in other cumulative comprehensive income.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currency are
recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent
changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses which are
reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end translations) or realized


23


upon settlement of the transactions. Cash flows from the Company's operations in
foreign countries are translated at actual exchange rates when known, or at the
average rate for the period. As a result, amounts related to assets and
liabilities reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows will not agree
to changes in the corresponding balances in the consolidated balance sheets. The
effects of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies are
reported as a separate line item below cash flows from financing activities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations, which establishes accounting standards for recognition
and measurement of a liability for an asset retirement obligation and the
associated asset retirement cost. The adoption of this pronouncement did not
have a material impact on the Company.

On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which specifies that a liability
for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized at the
date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The adoption of this
pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative
methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires
that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently
and in a tabular format. The Company has implemented all required disclosures of
SFAS 148. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect
in interim financial statements. The transition requirements of SFAS No. 148 are
effective for the Company's fiscal year 2003. The Company does not plan to
transition to a fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

There have been no events that materially affect our quantitative and
qualitative disclosure about market risk as reported in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.








25



ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2003, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and
with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management,
including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of March 31, 2003. There have been no significant
changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect internal controls subsequent to March 31, 2003.
