OTHER EVENTS. Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. The adoption of SFAS 142 required us to eliminate amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives as of January 1, 2002 and to conduct a transitional impairment test of these assets by June 30, 2002. Additional impairment tests are required on an annual basis and under certain other circumstances in the future. We have completed the transitional impairment tests of goodwill as of January 1, 2002 and found no impaired goodwill. In accordance with SFAS 142, we are filing this Form 8-K to present the transitional disclosures required by paragraph 61 of SFAS 142 by presenting adjusted net earnings in our selected financial data for the three years ended December 31, 2001, as if SFAS 142 had been adopted at the beginning of each of those years. The following table summarizes certain of our selected financial information that has been derived from our audited Consolidated Financial Statements. You should read the information set forth below in conjunction with "Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001.

(b) In 2001, we expensed $1.4 million, which was included in selling and administrative expenses, related to the relocation of our Dallas, Texas facility. (c) The unusual loss in 2001 was primarily related to the aviation industry changes resulting from the September 11th terrorist attacks and consists of inventory and intangible write-downs, unfavorable leases and doubtful accounts, and costs related to our new capital structure. The unusual loss in 1999 resulted from costs incurred related to the strategic review process, executive severance pay and the write-down of inventory for discontinued product lines. The 1997 unusual gain resulted from the repayment of a discounted note. (d) Earnings from continuing operations and net earnings in 1998 included a $32.2 million tax benefit due to the release of a $33.5 million deferred tax valuation allowance offset by provisions of certain U.S. state and foreign taxes. (e) Our cash payments for taxes are substantially below reported tax expense due to our use of net operating losses, which are not expected to be fully utilized for several years. (f) In January 1996, we announced our intention to exit certain businesses and, accordingly, reported these businesses as discontinued operations. The earnings from discontinued operations resulted from changes in estimates for certain retained liabilities. (g) The extraordinary loss in 2001 resulted from the write-off of unamortized financing costs in connection with refinancing our senior credit facility. (h) Total capital consists of convertible preferred stock (net of issuance costs) and shareholders' equity. (i) Diluted net earnings per share were not dilutive, or lower than basic, in 2001. Therefore, diluted net earnings per share for 2001 is presented equal to basic net earnings per share. (j) Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. The statement eliminates amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives and requires a transitional impairment test of these assets within six months of the date of adoption and an annual impairment test thereafter and in certain circumstances. We have completed the transitional impairment tests of goodwill as of January 1, 2002, and no impairment was noted.
