PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to Triumph's future
operations and prospects, including statements that are based on current
projections and expectations about the markets in which Triumph operates, and
management's beliefs concerning future performance and capital requirements
based upon current available information. Actual results could differ materially
from management's current expectations and additional capital may be required
and additional capital, if required, may not be available on reasonable terms,
if at all, at the times and in the amounts as may be needed by Triumph. In
addition to these factors and others described elsewhere in this report, among
other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are
competitive factors relating to the aerospace and metals industries, dependence
of some of Triumph's businesses on key customers, requirements of capital,
product liabilities in excess of insurance, uncertainties relating to the
integration of acquired businesses, general economic conditions affecting
Triumph's two business segments, including technological developments, limited
availability of raw materials or skilled personnel and changes in governmental
regulation and oversight. For a more detailed discussion of these and other
factors affecting Triumph, see the Risk Factors described in Item 1 of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Triumph does not undertake any obligation to revise
these forward-looking statements to reflect future events.

GENERAL

Triumph designs, engineers, manufactures, repairs, overhauls and distributes
aircraft components, such as mechanical and electromechanical control systems,
aircraft and engine accessories, structural components, auxiliary power units,
commonly referred to as APUs, avionics and aircraft instruments. Triumph serves
a broad spectrum of the aerospace industry, including commercial airlines and
air cargo carriers, as well as original equipment manufacturers, commonly
referred to as OEMs, of various commercial and military aircraft platforms, and
aircraft components.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Triumph's aviation segment offers a variety of products and services to the
aerospace industry which are offered through five groups within the aviation
segment as follows:

Triumph's STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS GROUP focuses primarily on aerospace

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Triumph was formed by members of management and Citicorp Venture
Capital, Ltd. to acquire particular businesses and assets from IKON Office
Solutions, Inc. In connection with this acquisition, 19 members of management
contributed capital in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.1 million and
Citicorp Venture Capital, an institutional investor, contributed capital in the
aggregate amount of approximately $6.9 million.

4
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

Triumph benefits from its proprietary rights relating to designs,
engineering, manufacturing processes and repair and overhaul procedures. For
some products, Triumph's unique manufacturing capabilities are required by the
customer's specifications or designs, thereby necessitating reliance on Triumph
for the production of such specially designed products. Triumph also holds two
SFAR 36 certifications that permit it to develop proprietary repair procedures
to be used in some repair and overhaul processes.

RAW MATERIALS AND REPLACEMENT PARTS

Triumph purchases raw materials, primarily consisting of steel and aluminum
coils, sheets and shapes, from various vendors. Triumph also purchases
replacement parts which are utilized in its various repair and overhaul
operations. Although Triumph believes that these raw materials and replacement
parts are generally available at competitive prices from numerous sources, at
times, castings and extrusions are in short supply and difficult to purchase in
sufficient amounts to meets its customers' demands.

OPERATING DIVISIONS AND SUBSIDIARIES

Triumph operates through several operating divisions and subsidiaries which
are divided into two segments: the aviation segment and the metals segment. The
following chart describes the operations, customer base and certain other
information with respect to Triumph's operating divisions and subsidiaries at
May 1, 2001:

METALS PROCESSING AND DISTRIBUTION

Triumph's metals segment has substantial experience in the metals industry.
The businesses in this segment include a leading producer of electrogalvanized
steel products and a steel service center specializing in flat rolled steel
products. These entities supply products to several hundred manufacturers and
other customers in the computer and electronics industries on a regional and
national basis. In addition, Triumph operates a business engaged in the erection
of structural frameworks for buildings in the midwestern United States.

Triumph's metals segment processes, converts and distributes steel and steel
products including electrogalvanized steel products which are stamped, formed,
welded and painted, and coated steel for the electronic and computer industries.
Triumph's steel service center specializes in flat rolled products and their
processing, including hot or cold rolled sheet and coil and galvanized sheet and
coil used primarily by the home and office products and appliance industry.

Triumph also erects structural framework, including steel members and allied
materials, for buildings with a specialty in commercial and industrial
buildings. These structural erection services are provided on a
project-by-project basis primarily in the midwestern United States. These
projects are generally awarded on a fixed fee, competitive bid basis.

SALES AND MARKETING

Each of Triumph's operating divisions and subsidiaries independently
conducts sales and marketing efforts directed at their respective customers and
industries and, where appropriate, collaborates with other Triumph operating
divisions and subsidiaries for cross-marketing efforts. Each sales force and the
respective officers of the operating divisions and subsidiaries are responsible
for obtaining new customers and maintaining relationships with existing
customers. Sales efforts are conducted primarily by independent regional
manufacturers' representatives and in-house personnel. Generally, manufacturers'
representatives receive a commission on sales and the in-house sales personnel
receive a base salary plus commission. Engaging independent sales
representatives at the local level facilitates responsiveness to each customer's
changing needs and current trends in each marketplace in which Triumph operates.

Triumph continually looks for opportunities to leverage its growing
capabilities. The presidents of Triumph's operating divisions and subsidiaries
in the aviation segment, meet periodically to discuss ways to improve sales and
cross-marketing opportunities. The management of each operating division and
subsidiary of Triumph also maintains close business relationships with many
customers, thereby furthering the sales and marketing efforts of their
businesses.

A significant portion of Triumph's government and defense contracts are
awarded on a competitive bidding basis. Triumph generally does not bid or act as
the primary contractor, but will typically bid and contract as a subcontractor
on contracts on a fixed fee basis. Triumph generally sells to its other
customers on a fixed fee, negotiated contract or purchase order basis.

8
BACKLOG

Triumph has a number of long-term agreements with several of its customers.
These agreements generally describe the terms under which the customer may issue
purchase orders to buy its products and services during the term of the
agreement. These terms typically include a list of the parts or services
customers may purchase, initial pricing for these products and services,
anticipated quantities to be purchased by the customer and, to the extent known,
delivery dates. Backlog only includes amounts for which Triumph has actual
purchase orders with firm delivery dates primarily for Triumph's OEM customer
base. Purchase orders issued by Triumph's aftermarket customers are usually
completed within a short period of time. As a result, Triumph's backlog data
relates primarily to the OEM customers within its aviation segment. The backlog
information set forth below does not include the sales that Triumph expects to
generate from long-term agreements associated with long-term aircraft production
programs but for which Triumph does not have actual purchase orders with firm
delivery dates.

As of March 31, 2001, Triumph's aviation and metals segments had outstanding
purchase orders representing an aggregate invoice price of approximately
$358.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2000, Triumph's
aviation and metals segments had outstanding purchase orders representing an
aggregate invoice price of approximately $235.9 million and $15.6 million,
respectively. Triumph believes that purchase orders totaling approximately
$86.7 million will not be shipped by the aviation segment by March 31, 2002.

COMPETITION

Triumph competes primarily with OEMs and the top-tier manufacturers that
supply them, some of which are divisions or subsidiaries of OEMs and other large
companies, in the manufacture of aircraft components and subassemblies.
OEMs are increasingly focusing on assembly activities while outsourcing more
manufacturing and repair to third parties.

Competition for the repair and overhaul of aviation components comes from
three primary sources, some with greater financial and other resources than
Triumph: OEMs, major commercial airlines and other independent repair and
overhaul companies. Some major commercial airlines continue to own and operate
their own service centers, while others have begun to sell their repair and
overhaul services to other aircraft operators. The repair and overhaul services
provided by domestic airlines are primarily for their own aircraft, although
these airlines may perform a limited amount of repair and overhaul services for
third parties. Foreign airlines that provide repair and overhaul services
typically provide these services not only for their own aircraft but for other
airlines as well. OEMs also maintain service centers which provide repair and
overhaul services for the components they manufacture. Other independent service
organizations also compete for the repair and overhaul business of other users
of aircraft components.

Participants in the aerospace industry compete primarily on the basis of
breadth of technical capabilities, volume capacity, quality, turnaround time and
cost.

Triumph's principal competitors in the metals industry include national and
regional steel mills, other steel service centers, steel erection companies and
pre-engineered building manufacturers. Some of these competitors have greater
financial and other resources than Triumph.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND INDUSTRY OVERSIGHT

The aerospace industry is highly regulated in the United States by the FAA
and in other countries by similar agencies. Triumph must be certified by the FAA
and, in some cases, by individual OEMs, in order to engineer and service parts
and components used in specific aircraft models. If material authorizations or
approvals were revoked or suspended, the operations of Triumph would be
adversely affected. New and more stringent government regulations may be
adopted, or industry oversight heightened, in the future and

9
these new regulations, if enacted, or any industry oversight, if heightened, may
have an adverse impact on Triumph.

Triumph must also satisfy the requirements of its customers, including OEMs,
that are subject to FAA regulations, and provide these customers with products
and services that comply with the government regulations applicable to aircraft
components used in commercial flight operations. The FAA regulates commercial
flight operations and requires that aircraft components meet its stringent
standards. In addition, the FAA requires that various maintenance routines be
performed on aircraft components, and Triumph currently satisfies these
maintenance standards in its repair and overhaul services. Several of Triumph's
operating divisions are FAA-approved repair stations.

Generally, the FAA is granting licenses only for the manufacture or repair
of a specific aircraft component, rather than the broader licenses that have
been granted in the past. The FAA licensing process may be costly and
time-consuming. In order to obtain an FAA license, an applicant must satisfy all
applicable regulations of the FAA governing repair stations. These regulations
require that an applicant have experienced personnel, inspection systems,
suitable facilities and equipment. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate a
need for the license. Because an applicant must procure manufacturing and repair
manuals from third parties relating to a particular aircraft component in order
to obtain a license with respect to this component, the application process may
involve substantial cost.

The license approval processes for the Joint Aviation Authority, which
regulates this industry in the European Union, and other comparable foreign
regulatory authorities are similarly stringent, involving potentially lengthy
audits.

Triumph's aviation and metals operations are also subject to a variety of
worker and community safety laws. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970, commonly referred to as OSHA, mandates general requirements for safe
workplaces for all employees. In addition, OSHA provides special procedures and
measures for the handling of hazardous and toxic substances. Specific safety
standards have been promulgated for workplaces engaged in the treatment,
disposal or storage of hazardous waste. Triumph believes that its operations are
in material compliance with OSHA's health and safety requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Triumph's business, operations and facilities are subject to numerous
stringent federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulation by
government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, commonly
referred to as the EPA. Among other matters, these regulatory authorities impose
requirements that regulate the emission, discharge, generation, management,
transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, pollutants and contaminants,
govern public and private response actions to hazardous or regulated substances
which may be or have been released to the environment, and require Triumph to
obtain and maintain licenses and permits in connection with its operations. This
extensive regulatory framework imposes significant compliance burdens and risks
on Triumph. Although management believes that Triumph's operations and its
facilities are in material compliance with these laws and regulations, future
changes in these laws, regulations or interpretations thereof or the nature of
Triumph's operations may require Triumph to make significant additional capital
expenditures to ensure compliance in the future.

Certain of Triumph's facilities have been or are currently the subject of
environmental remediation activities, the cost of which is subject to
indemnification provided by IKON Office Solutions pursuant to the acquisition by
Triumph of these facilities from IKON Office Solutions. One of these facilities
is connected with a site included on the National Priorities List of Superfund
sites maintained by the EPA. Another of these facilities is located on a site
included in the EPA's database of potential Superfund sites. IKON Office
Solutions' indemnification covers Triumph for losses it might suffer in
connection with liabilities and obligations arising under environmental, health
and safety laws with respect to operations or use of those facilities prior to
their acquisition by Triumph. More generally, the IKON Office Solutions'

10
indemnification covers both (i) the costs, claims and potential losses
associated with environmental matters identified in the purchase agreement for
the acquisition as the result of environmental assessments or other disclosures
made in connection with the acquisition, including the costs, claims and
potential losses associated with all the environmental remediation activities
and identified liabilities, and (ii) the losses connected to environmental
liabilities which were not identified in the purchase agreement and which arise
from conditions or activities existing at the facilities or operations acquired
from IKON Office Solutions prior to Triumph's acquisition from IKON Office
Solutions, provided that they were identified by Triumph to IKON Office
Solutions before July 22, 2000. Some other facilities acquired and operated by
Triumph or one of its subsidiaries, including a leased facility located on an
EPA National Priorities List site, were under active investigation for
environmental contamination by federal or state agencies when acquired, and
continue to be under investigation. Triumph is indemnified by prior owners or
operators and/or present owner of the facilities for liabilities which Triumph
incurs as a result of these investigations and the environmental contamination
found which pre-dates Triumph's acquisition of these facilities, subject to
certain limitations. Triumph also maintains a pollution liability policy that
provides coverage for material liabilities associated with the clean-up of
on-site pollution conditions, as well as defense and indemnity for certain third
party suits (including Superfund liabilities at third party sites), in each
case, to the extent not otherwise indemnified. This policy applies to all of
Triumph's manufacturing and assembly operations worldwide. However, if Triumph
were required to pay the expenses related to environmental liabilities for which
neither indemnification nor insurance coverage is available, these expenses
could have a material adverse effect on Triumph. See "Risk Factors--Any Exposure
to Environmental Liabilities May Adversely Affect Triumph."

EMPLOYEES

As of March 31, 2001, Triumph employed approximately 3,601 persons, of whom
220 were management employees, 101 were sales and marketing personnel, 341
technical personnel, 369 were administrative personnel and 2,570 were production
workers.

Several of Triumph's subsidiaries are parties to collective bargaining
agreements with labor unions. Under those agreements, Triumph currently employs
approximately 417 full-time employees, and from time to time employs up to an
additional 92 temporary employees for its steel erection business, all of whom
are members of labor unions. Currently, approximately 11.6% of Triumph's
permanent employees are represented by labor unions and approximately 20.9% of
the aviation segment's net sales and 100% of the metals segment's net sales are
derived from the facilities at which at least some employees are unionized. Two
of the collective bargaining agreements will expire in the next twelve months.
One subsidiary of Triumph is currently negotiating a collective bargaining
agreement that expired on February 28, 2001. No work stoppage is expected at
this location. Triumph's inability to negotiate acceptable contracts with these
unions could result in strikes by the affected workers and increased operating
costs as a result of higher wages or benefits paid to union members. If the
unionized workers were to engage in a strike or other work stoppage, or other
employees were to become unionized, Triumph could experience a significant
disruption of its operations and higher ongoing labor costs, which could have an
adverse effect on its business and results of operations.

Triumph has not experienced any material labor-related work stoppage and
considers its relations with its employees to be good.

RISK FACTORS

Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including those concerning
Triumph's expectations regarding the effect of industry trends on Triumph,
competitive advantages, strategies, future sales, gross profits, capital
expenditures, selling, general and administrative expenses, and cash
requirements, include forward-looking statements. Actual results may vary
materially from these expectations. Factors which could cause actual results to
differ from expectations include competition, dependence on key customers,

11
dependence on the aviation industry, requirements of capital, product
liabilities in excess of insurance, integration of acquired businesses,
government regulation, technological developments and obsolete inventory. For a
description of these and additional risks, see the discussion below. Triumph's
results of operations may be adversely affected by one or more of these factors.

COMPETITIVE PRESSURES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT TRIUMPH. Triumph has numerous
competitors in both the aerospace services and metals processing and
distribution industries. Triumph competes primarily with OEMs and the top-tier
manufacturers that supply them, some of which are divisions or subsidiaries of
OEMs and other large companies that manufacture aircraft components and
subassemblies. Competition for the repair and overhaul of aviation components
comes from three primary sources, some with greater financial and other
resources than Triumph: OEMs, major commercial airlines and other independent
repair and overhaul companies. Triumph's principal competitors in the metals
industry include national and regional steel mills, other steel service centers,
steel erection companies and pre-engineered building manufacturers. Some of
Triumph's competitors in both aviation and metals have substantially greater
financial and other resources than Triumph. Competitive pressures in either
industry may materially adversely affect Triumph's operating revenues and in
turn, its business and financial condition.

FACTORS THAT HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT TRIUMPH'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. A substantial percentage of Triumph's
gross profit and operating income is derived from its aviation segment.
Triumph's aviation operations are focused on designing, engineering and
manufacturing aircraft components on new aircraft and performing repair and
overhaul services on existing aircraft and aircraft components. Therefore,
Triumph's business is directly affected by economic factors and other trends
that affect its customers in the aerospace industry, including a possible
decrease in outsourcing by aircraft operators and OEMs or projected market
growth that may not materialize or be sustainable. When these economic and other
factors adversely affect the aerospace industry, they tend to reduce the overall
customer demand for Triumph's products and services, which decreases Triumph's
operating income. Economic and other factors that might affect the aerospace
industry may have an adverse impact on Triumph's results of operations.

TRIUMPH MAY NEED TO EXPEND SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL TO KEEP PACE WITH
TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN ITS INDUSTRY. The aerospace industry is
constantly undergoing development and change and it is likely that new products,
equipment and methods of repair and overhaul service will be introduced in the
future. In order to keep pace with any new developments, Triumph may need to
expend significant capital to purchase new equipment and machines or to train
its employees in the new methods of production and service. Triumph may not be
successful in developing new products and these capital expenditures may have a
material adverse effect on Triumph.

TRIUMPH MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES TO COMPLY WITH NEW OR MORE STRINGENT
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION. The aerospace industry is highly regulated in the
United States by the FAA and in other countries by similar agencies. Triumph
must be certified by the FAA and, in some cases, by individual OEMs in order to
engineer and service parts and components used in specific aircraft models. If
material authorizations or approvals were revoked or suspended, Triumph's
operations would be adversely affected. New or more stringent governmental
regulations may be adopted, or industry oversight heightened, in the future, and
Triumph may incur significant expenses to comply with any new regulations or any
heightened industry oversight.

THE LOSS OF TRIUMPH'S KEY CUSTOMERS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON
TRIUMPH. For the year ended March 31, 2001, Honeywell International, Inc. and
Boeing Co. represented approximately 8% and 12%, respectively, of net sales. The
loss of either of these customers could have a material adverse impact on
Triumph. Assuming that the pending acquisition of Honeywell by General Electric
Corporation occurred effective April 1, 2000, Honeywell and General Electric, on
a combined basis, would have accounted for approximately 12% of net sales for
the year ended March 31, 2001. In addition, some of

12
Triumph's operating divisions and subsidiaries have significant customers, the
loss of whom could have an adverse effect on those businesses.

TRIUMPH MAY BE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVE "TIER ONE" SUPPLIER STATUS
WITH OEMS, AND IT MAY BE REQUIRED TO RISK ITS CAPITAL TO ACHIEVE "TIER ONE"
SUPPLIER STATUS. Many OEMs are moving toward developing strategic partnerships
with their larger suppliers, frequently called "tier one" suppliers. Each tier
one supplier provides an array of integrated services including purchasing,
warehousing and assembly for OEM customers. Triumph has been designated as a
tier one supplier by some OEMs and is striving to achieve tier one status with
other OEMs. In order to maintain or achieve tier one status, Triumph may need to
expand its existing capacities or capabilities, and there is no assurance that
it will be able to do so.

Many new aircraft programs require that major suppliers become risk-sharing
partners, meaning that the cost of design, development and engineering work
associated with the development of the aircraft is born by the supplier, usually
in exchange for a long-term agreement to supply critical parts once the aircraft
is in production. In the event that the aircraft fails to reach the production
stage, results in the production of an inadequate number of units, or actual
sales otherwise do not meet projections, Triumph may incur significant costs
without any corresponding revenues. For example, Triumph is a subcontractor to a
company which is developing a new aircraft, the primary customer of which is a
major air cargo carrier. Triumph has substantially completed the development of
a major component of this aircraft and has invested to date approximately
$6 million. The company that is developing this aircraft has recently filed for
bankruptcy protection to secure relief while seeking to recapitalize the
company. If that company does not obtain additional financing and emerge from
bankruptcy protection, or if this project otherwise is abandoned or does not
succeed, Triumph may not be able to recover its investment.

TRIUMPH MAY NOT REALIZE ITS ANTICIPATED RETURN ON CAPITAL COMMITMENTS MADE
TO EXPAND ITS CAPABILITIES. From time to time, Triumph makes significant capital
expenditures to implement new processes and to increase both efficiency and
capacity. Some of these projects require additional training for Triumph's
employees and not all projects may be implemented as anticipated. If any of
these projects do not achieve the anticipated increase in efficiency or
capacity, Triumph's returns on these capital expenditures may not be as
expected.

TRIUMPH'S EXPANSION INTO INTERNATIONAL MARKETS MAY INCREASE CREDIT AND OTHER
RISKS. As Triumph pursues customers in Asia, South America and other less
developed aerospace markets throughout the world, its inability to ensure the
credit worthiness of its customers in these areas could adversely impact its
overall profitability. In addition, these business opportunities may entail
additional currency risks, different legal and regulatory requirements and
political considerations not associated with domestic markets.

TRIUMPH MAY NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING FOR ACQUISITIONS AND CAPITAL
EXPENDITURES AND ADDITIONAL FINANCING MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON TERMS ACCEPTABLE
TO IT. A key element of Triumph's strategy has been, and continues to be,
internal growth and growth through the acquisition of additional companies and
product lines engaged in the aerospace industry. In order to grow internally,
Triumph may need to make significant capital expenditures and may need
additional capital to do so. Triumph's ability to grow is dependent upon, and
may be limited by, among other things, availability under its revolving credit
facility and by particular restrictions contained in its revolving credit
facility and its other financing arrangements. In that case, additional funding
sources may be needed, and Triumph may not be able to obtain the additional
capital necessary to pursue its internal growth and acquisition strategy or, if
Triumph can obtain additional financing, the additional financing may not be on
financial terms which are satisfactory to it.

CANCELLATIONS, REDUCTIONS OR DELAYS IN CUSTOMER ORDERS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT
TRIUMPH'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Triumph's overall operating results are
affected by many factors, including the timing of orders from large customers
and the timing of expenditures to manufacture parts and purchase inventory in
anticipation of future sales of products and services. A large portion of
Triumph's operating expenses are relatively fixed. Because several of Triumph's
operating divisions and subsidiaries typically do not obtain long-term

13
purchase orders or commitments from its customers, they must anticipate the
future volume of orders based upon the historic purchasing patterns of customers
and upon Triumph's discussions with customers as to their anticipated future
requirements. Cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by a customer or
group of customers could have a material adverse effect on Triumph's business,
financial condition and results of operations.

TRIUMPH'S ACQUISITION STRATEGY EXPOSES IT TO RISKS, INCLUDING THE RISK THAT
IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE ACQUIRED BUSINESSES. Triumph has a
consistent strategy to grow, in part, by the acquisition of additional
businesses in the aerospace industry and are continuously evaluating various
acquisition opportunities. Triumph's ability to grow by acquisition is dependent
upon, among other factors, the availability of suitable acquisition candidates.
Growth by acquisition involves risks that could adversely affect Triumph's
operating results, including difficulties in integrating the operations and
personnel of acquired companies, the potential amortization of acquired
intangible assets and the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies.
Triumph may not be able to consummate acquisitions on satisfactory terms or, if
any acquisitions are consummated, satisfactorily integrate these acquired
businesses.

TRIUMPH MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN EXPANDING INTO THE IGT MARKET. Triumph has
recently entered into the competitive industrial gas turbine ("IGT") industry.
While Triumph's activities to date have primarily been limited to using
conventional materials and processes, Triumph anticipates expanding its IGT
activities into newer and more novel materials and processes, including more
exotic alloys and coatings. Such expansion may require significant capital
expenditures. In addition, several OEMs are already operating with such newer
materials and processes and, in certain cases, hold proprietary technology and
patents. While Triumph believes that it will successfully expand its current IGT
operations, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.

ANY PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS IN EXCESS OF INSURANCE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT
TRIUMPH'S FINANCIAL CONDITION. Triumph's operations expose it to potential
liability for personal injury or death as a result of the failure of an aircraft
component that has been serviced by Triumph, the failure of an aircraft
component designed or manufactured by Triumph or the irregularity of metal
products processed or distributed by Triumph. While Triumph believes that its
liability insurance is adequate to protect it from these liabilities, its
insurance may not cover all liabilities. Additionally, insurance coverage may
not be available in the future at a cost acceptable to Triumph. Any material
liability not covered by insurance or for which third party indemnification is
not available could have a material adverse effect on Triumph's financial
condition.

THE UNAVAILABILITY OF SKILLED PERSONNEL MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON
TRIUMPH'S OPERATIONS. From time to time, some of Triumph's operating divisions
and subsidiaries have experienced difficulties in attracting and retaining
skilled personnel to design, engineer, manufacture, repair and overhaul
sophisticated aircraft components. Triumph's ability to operate successfully
could be jeopardized if Triumph is unable to attract and retain a sufficient
number of skilled personnel to conduct its business.

ANY EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT
TRIUMPH. Triumph's business, operations and facilities are subject to numerous
stringent federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations.
Although management believes that Triumph's operations and facilities are in
material compliance with such laws and regulations, future changes in these
laws, regulations or interpretations thereof or the nature of its operations may
require Triumph to make significant additional capital expenditures to ensure
compliance in the future. Some of Triumph's facilities have been or are
currently the subject of environmental remediation activities, the cost of which
is subject to indemnification provided by IKON Office Solutions. One of these
facilities is connected with a site included in the National Priorities List of
Superfund sites maintained by the Environmental Protection Agency, commonly
referred to as the EPA. Another of these facilities is located on a site
included in the EPA's database of potential Superfund sites. The IKON Office
Solutions' indemnification covers the cost of liabilities that arise from
environmental conditions or activities existing at facilities prior to Triumph's
acquisition from IKON Office Solutions and that were identified before July 22,
2000, including the costs and claims associated with the

14
environmental remediation activities and liabilities discussed above. Some other
facilities acquired and operated by Triumph or one of Triumph's subsidiaries,
including a leased facility located on an EPA National Priorities List site,
have been under active investigation for environmental contamination by federal
or state agencies when acquired, and continue to be under investigation. Triumph
is indemnified by prior owners or operators and/or present owners of the
facilities for liabilities which it incurs as a result of these investigations
and the environmental contamination found which pre-dates its acquisition of
these facilities, subject to certain limitations. Triumph also maintains a
pollution liability policy that provides coverage for material liabilities
associated with the clean-up of on-site pollution conditions, as well as defense
and indemnity for certain third party suits (including Superfund liabilities at
third party sites), in each case, to the extent not otherwise indemnified. This
policy applies to all of Triumph's manufacturing and assembly operations
worldwide. However, if Triumph were required to pay the expenses related to
environmental liabilities for which neither indemnification nor insurance
coverage is available, these expenses could have a material adverse effect on
it.

ITEM 7. 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 and notes thereto contained elsewhere herein.)

FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2000

AVIATION SEGMENT

NET SALES. Net sales for the Aviation segment increased by $131.6 million,
or 35.7%, to $500.2 million for fiscal 2001 from $368.6 million for fiscal 2000.
Companies acquired having less than twelve months in each fiscal year ("Acquired
Companies") represented an aggregate of $106.1 million and $14.2 million in net
sales in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively. Net sales for the other
operating divisions and subsidiaries in the Aviation segment increased by
$39.7 million, or 11.2% from the prior year due to overall growth in the
businesses as well as new product lines.

COSTS OF PRODUCTS SOLD. Costs of products sold for the Aviation segment
increased by $87.6 million, or 35.9%, to $331.9 million for fiscal 2001 from
$244.3 million for fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion
of $71.3 million and $8.9 million in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively,
of costs of products sold associated with net sales generated by the Acquired
Companies. Costs of products sold for the other operating divisions and
subsidiaries in the Aviation segment increased $25.2 million, or 10.7%, due to
the overall growth in the businesses as well as new product lines.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the Aviation segment increased by
$43.9 million, or 35.3%, to $168.3 million for fiscal 2001 from $124.3 million
for fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of
$34.8 million and $5.3 million in fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively, of gross
profit on the net sales generated by the Acquired Companies. The remaining net
increase of $14.5 million was due to the reasons discussed above. As a
percentage of net sales, gross profit for the Aviation segment was 33.6% and
33.7% for fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the Aviation segment increased by $15.3 million, or
35.5%, to $58.5 million for fiscal 2001 from $43.2 million for fiscal 2000,
primarily due to the Acquired Companies.

19
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization for the
Aviation segment increased by $6.4 million, or 34.3%, to $25.0 million for
fiscal 2001 from $18.6 million for fiscal 2000, primarily due to the assets
acquired in connection with the Acquired Companies.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the Aviation segment increased by
$22.2 million, or 35.6%, to $84.7 million for fiscal 2001 from $62.5 million for
fiscal 2000. This increase was due to the addition of net sales and profits
generated by the Acquired Companies, as well as from an increase in operating
profit generated by the other divisions and subsidiaries in the Aviation segment
due to the overall growth in the businesses as well as new product lines. As a
percentage of net sales, operating income for the Aviation segment was 16.9% and
17.0% for fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively.

METALS SEGMENT

NET SALES. Net sales for the Metals segment decreased by $12.7 million, or
17.3%, to $60.4 million for fiscal 2001 from $73.1 million for fiscal 2000. This
increase was mainly due to decreased activity at the Company's structural steel
erection operation and import pricing pressures and lower volume at the
Company's electrogalvanized steel operation.

COSTS OF PRODUCTS SOLD. Costs of products sold for the Metals segment
decreased by $10.1 million, or 17.8%, to $46.6 million for fiscal 2001 from
$56.7 million for fiscal 2000. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in
activity at the Company's structural steel erection operation and the lower
volume at the Company's electrogalvanized steel operation.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the Metals segment decreased by
$2.6 million, or 15.8%, to $13.8 million for fiscal 2001 from $16.4 million for
fiscal 2000, due to the reasons discussed above. As a percentage of net sales,
gross profit for the Metals segment was 22.8% and 22.4% for fiscal 2001 and
fiscal 2000, respectively.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the Metals segment decreased by $0.8 million, or
7.0%, to $10.4 million for fiscal 2001 from $11.2 million for fiscal 2000.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for the Metals
segment remained unchanged from the prior year at $1.1 million for fiscal 2001.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the Metals segment decreased by
$1.9 million, or 44.6%, to $2.3 million, for fiscal 2001 from $4.2 million for
fiscal 2000, due to the reasons discussed above. As a percentage of net sales,
operating income for the Metals segment was 3.8% and 5.7% for fiscal 2001 and
fiscal 2000, respectively.

OVERALL RESULTS

CORPORATE EXPENSES. Corporate expenses increased by $1.3 million, or 30.1%,
to $5.6 million for fiscal 2001 from $4.3 million for fiscal 2000.

SPECIAL CHARGE. During fiscal 2000, the Company announced a realignment of
reporting responsibilities. As a result of the realignment, the Company recorded
a pre-tax charge of $0.7 million, primarily related to severance for three
employees.

20
INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER.  Interest expense and other increased by
$11.2 million, or 117.5%, to $20.7 million for fiscal 2001 from $9.5 million for
fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily due to significantly higher debt levels
associated with the Acquired Companies, the cash portions of which were financed
by borrowings under the Company's credit agreement, as well as a slightly higher
rate on the Company's borrowings under its Credit Facility.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The effective tax rate was 35.5% for fiscal 2001 and
33.7% for fiscal 2000.

NET INCOME. Net income increased by $4.6 million, or 13.3%, to
$39.2 million for fiscal 2001 from $34.6 million for fiscal 2000. The increase
in fiscal 2001 net income was primarily attributable to the Acquired Companies,
the overall growth in the other divisions and subsidiaries and new product
lines, partially offset by the increased interest expense due to the increased
debt levels associated with the Acquired Companies.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

AVIATION SEGMENT

NET SALES. Net sales for the Aviation segment increased by $40.0 million,
or 12.2%, to $368.6 million for fiscal 2000 from $328.6 million for fiscal 1999.
This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of an aggregate of
$81.8 million and $27.2 million in net sales for the Acquired Companies in
fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, respectively.

Net sales for the other operating divisions and subsidiaries in the Aviation
segment experienced a 4.8% decrease, totaling $14.6 million, from the prior
year. The decline in sales was due to slowdowns in the production rates of
certain Boeing commercial airplane programs, specifically the 737 Classic, 747
and 777, as well as the effects from Boeing working off excess inventory for
these programs, slightly offset by an increase in the production rate of the 737
New Generation and increases in sales related to the C-17 and E-2C military
aircraft programs.

COSTS OF PRODUCTS SOLD. Costs of products sold for the Aviation segment
increased by $24.3 million, or 11.0%, to $244.3 million for fiscal 2000 from
$220.0 million for fiscal 1999. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion
of $49.8 million and $15.8 million in fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, respectively,
of costs of products sold associated with net sales generated by the Acquired
Companies and a $1.0 million charge for inventory due to discontinuance of
certain product lines. Costs of products sold for the other operating divisions
and subsidiaries in the Aviation segment decreased $10.7 million, or 5.3%,
mainly due to the decline in shipments for Boeing commercial airplane programs
discussed above.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the Aviation segment increased by
$15.7 million, or 14.5%, to $124.3 million for fiscal 2000 from $108.6 million
for fiscal 1999. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of
$32.0 million and $11.4 million in fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively, of gross
profit on the net sales generated by the Acquired Companies. The remaining net
decrease of $4.8 million was due to the reasons discussed above. As a percentage
of net sales, gross profit for the Aviation segment was 33.7% and 33.0% for
fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, respectively.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the Aviation segment increased by $6.5 million, or
17.8%, to $43.2 million for fiscal 2000 from $36.7 million for fiscal 1999,
primarily due to the Acquired Companies.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for the
Aviation segment increased by $5.3 million, or 40.1%, to $18.6 million for
fiscal 2000 from $13.3 million for fiscal 1999, primarily due to the assets
acquired in connection with the Acquired Companies.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the Aviation segment excluding its
portion of the special charge recorded in the third quarter, increased by
$3.9 million, or 6.6%, to $62.5 million for fiscal 2000

21
from $58.6 million for fiscal 1999. This increase was due to the addition of net
sales and profits generated by the Acquired Companies, offset by a decrease in
operating profit generated by the other divisions and subsidiaries in the
Aviation segment mainly due to the decline in production rates in the Boeing
commercial airplane programs discussed above and the effects of Boeing working
off excess inventory. As a percentage of net sales, operating income for the
Aviation segment was 17.0% and 17.8% for fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999,
respectively.

METALS SEGMENT

NET SALES. Net sales for the Metals segment increased by $1.6 million, or
2.2%, to $73.1 million for fiscal 2000 from $71.5 million for fiscal 1999. This
increase was mainly due to an increase in activity at the Company's structural
steel erection operation.

COSTS OF PRODUCTS SOLD. Costs of products sold for the Metals segment
increased by $1.7 million, or 3.0%, to $56.7 million for fiscal 2000 from
$55.0 million for fiscal 1999. This increase was mainly due to the increase in
activity at the Company's structural steel erection operation and the effect of
a one-time reduction in the prior year due to lower raw material prices.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the Metals segment decreased by
$0.1 million, or 0.7%, to $16.4 million for fiscal 2000 from $16.5 million for
fiscal 1999, due to the reasons discussed above. As a percentage of net sales,
gross profit for the Metals segment was 22.4% and 23.1% for fiscal 2000 and
fiscal 1999, respectively.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the Metals segment increased by $0.1 million, or
1.2%, to $11.2 million for fiscal 2000 from $11.0 million for fiscal 1999.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for the Metals
segment increased by $0.1 million, or 1.7%, to $1.1 million for fiscal 2000 from
$1.0 million for fiscal 1999.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the Metals segment, excluding its
portion of the special charge recorded in the third quarter, decreased by
$0.3 million, or 6.1%, to $4.2 million, for fiscal 2000 from $4.4 million for
fiscal 1999, due to the reasons discussed above. As a percentage of net sales,
operating income for the Metals segment was 5.7% and 6.2% for fiscal 2000 and
fiscal 1999, respectively.

OVERALL RESULTS

CORPORATE EXPENSES. Corporate expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 4.8%,
to $4.3 million for fiscal 2000 from $4.5 million for fiscal 1999.

SPECIAL CHARGE. During fiscal 2000, the Company announced a realignment of
reporting responsibilities. As a result of the realignment, the Company recorded
a pre-tax charge of $0.7 million, primarily related to severance for three
employees.

INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER. Interest expense and other increased by
$4.4 million, or 85.1%, to $9.5 million for fiscal 2000 from $5.1 million for
fiscal 1999. This increase was primarily due to increased debt levels associated
with the Acquired Companies, the cash portions of which were financed by
borrowings under the Company's credit agreement, as well as a slightly higher
rate on and amortization of fees relating to the Company's amended and restated
Credit Facility.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The effective tax rate was 33.7% for fiscal 2000 and
38.0% for fiscal 1999.

NET INCOME. Net income increased by $1.5 million, or 4.4%, to
$34.6 million for fiscal 2000 from $33.1 million for fiscal 1999. The increase
in fiscal 2000 net income was primarily attributable to the Acquired Companies
and the change in the effective tax rate, partially offset by the special charge
and the

22
reduced earnings of the remaining Aviation segment operating units due to the
decline in shipments for Boeing commercial airplane programs discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital needs are generally funded through cash flows
from operations and borrowings under its credit arrangements. The Company
generated approximately $26.2 million of cash flows from operating activities
for the year ended March 31, 2001. The Company used approximately
$168.2 million in investing activities, and raised $140.6 million in financing
activities for the year ended March 31, 2001.

In March 2001, the Company completed the sale of 3,000,003 shares of its
Common stock for $37.50 a share through an underwritten public offering. In
addition, the Company granted the underwriters of its public offering a 30-day
option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments. In April 2001,
the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option and the Company sold an
additional 450,000 shares of its Common stock. The net proceeds from the sales
of $122.4 million were used to repay long-term debt.

On October 16, 2000, the Company amended its revolving credit facility
("Credit Facility") with its lenders to increase the Credit Facility to
$350.0 million from $250.0 million, and amend certain terms and covenants. The
Credit Facility bears interest at either LIBOR plus between 0.75% and 1.75% or
the prime rate (or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% if greater) at the option of
the Company and expires on June 13, 2004. The variation in the interest rate is
based upon the Company's ratio of total indebtedness to earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition, the Company is
required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.175% and 0.375% on the unused
portion of the Credit Facility. The Company may allocate up to $5.0 million of
the available Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit. As of
March 31, 2001, $203.3 million was available under the Credit Facility. On
March 31, 2001, an aggregate amount of approximately $145.0 million was
outstanding under the Credit Facility, all of which was accruing interest at
LIBOR plus applicable basis points totaling 7.62% per annum. Amounts repaid
under the Credit Facility may be reborrowed.

The Company has available a $10.0 million discretionary line of credit
("Line of Credit"). The Line of Credit bears interest at the current rate
offered by the lender. Borrowings under the Line of Credit are payable on the
last day of the applicable interest period or on demand. The Line of Credit has
no established expiration date. No amount was outstanding on the Line of Credit
as of March 31, 2001.

Capital expenditures were approximately $27.1 million for the year ended
March 31, 2001, primarily for manufacturing machinery and equipment for the
Aviation segment. The Company funded these expenditures through borrowings under
its Credit Facility. The Company expects capital expenditures to be
approximately $40.0 million for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2002. The
expenditures are expected to be used mainly to expand capacity at several
facilities.

Effective April 1, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock
of ACR Industries, Inc., Chem-Fab Corporation and Airborne Nacelle
Services, Inc. In May 2000, the Company acquired certain assets from the Anadite
California Restoration Trust. The combined cash portion of the purchase prices
paid at closing for these acquisitions of approximately $54.2 million was funded
by borrowings under the Company's Credit Facility. In connection with these
acquisitions, the Company assumed $32.6 million of seller financing, which
accrued interest at 7% and $3.6 million of other debt. In July 2000, the Company
retired $30.6 million of the assumed seller financing and approximately
$3.2 million of the assumed other debt. These payments were funded by borrowings
under the Credit Facility.

Effective September 30, 2000, the Company acquired certain product rights
and assets from Honeywell International, Inc. The Company paid $32.0 million at
closing, and assumed $27.0 million of seller financing which was paid in
December 2000.

23
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to
500,000 shares of its Common stock, subject to market conditions. Repurchases
may be made from time to time in open market transactions, block purchases,
privately negotiated transactions or otherwise at prevailing prices. The Company
has repurchased 244,200 shares through fiscal 2001 for an aggregate
consideration of $5.9 million, funded by borrowings under the Credit Facility.
No time limit has been set for completion of the program.

The Company believes that cash generated by operations and borrowings under
the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for
its current operations. However, the Company has a stated policy to grow through
acquisition and is continuously evaluating various acquisition opportunities. As
a result, the Company currently is 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 may be needed. There can be no
assurance that such funding sources will be available to the Company on terms
favorable to the Company, if at all.

MARKET RISK

The Company's primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in
interest rates on borrowings. An increase in interest rates would adversely
affect the Company's operating results and the cash flow available after debt
service to fund operations and expansion and, if permitted to do so under its
Credit Facility, to pay dividends on its Common stock. The Company manages its
exposure to changes in interest rate fluctuations by optimizing the use of fixed
and variable rate debt. The Company has entered into a two-year interest rate
swap to exchange floating rate for fixed rate interest payments to hedge against
interest rate changes for $100.0 million of the Company's outstanding balance
under its Credit Facility. The Company provides protection to meet actual
exposure and does not speculate in derivatives. The net effect of the spread
between the floating rate (30-day LIBOR) and the fixed rate (6.56%), on the
Company's earnings for the year ended March 31, 2001, was not material. The
information below summarizes the Company's market risks associated with debt
obligations and should be read in conjunction with Note 6 of the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

The following table presents principal cash flows and the related interest
rates by year of maturity. Fixed interest rates disclosed represent the weighted
average rate as of March 31, 2001. Variable interest rates disclosed fluctuate
with the LIBOR, federal funds rates and other weekly rates and represent the
weighted average rate at March 31, 2001.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to the Company's
future operations and prospects, including statements that are based on current
projections and expectations about the markets in which the Company operates,
and management's beliefs concerning future performance and capital requirements
based upon current available information. Such statements are based on
management's beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently
available to management. When used in this document,

24
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 management's 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 the Company. 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
the Company's business segments, dependence of certain of the Company's
businesses on certain key customers as well as competitive factors relating to
the aviation and metals industries. For a more detailed discussion of these and
other factors affecting the Company, see the risk factors described in the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Triumph Group, Inc. ("Triumph") is a Delaware corporation which, through its
operating subsidiaries, is engaged in aviation products and services and metals
converting and distribution.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Triumph and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). Intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial
statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Triumph's Aviation segment designs, engineers, manufactures or repairs and
overhauls aircraft components for commercial airlines, air cargo carriers and
original equipment manufacturers on a worldwide basis. Triumph's Metals segment
manufactures, machines, processes and distributes metal products to customers in
the computer, construction, container and office furniture industries, primarily
within North America. The Company's trade accounts receivable are exposed to
credit risk; however, the risk is limited due to the diversity of the customer
base and the customer base's wide geographical area. Trade accounts receivable
from Honeywell (formerly AlliedSignal) and Boeing Co. ("Boeing") represented
approximately 11% and 9%, respectively, of total accounts receivable as of
March 31, 2001 and 5% and 13%, respectively, at March 31, 2000. The Company had
no other significant concentrations of credit risk. For fiscal 2001, Honeywell
and Boeing represented approximately 8% and 12%, respectively, of consolidated
sales. In fiscal 2000, Honeywell and Boeing represented approximately 9% and
14%, respectively, of consolidated sales. In fiscal 1999, Honeywell and Boeing
represented approximately 12% and 19%, respectively, of consolidated sales. No
other single customer accounts for more than 10% of the Company's sales;
however, the loss of any significant customer, including Honeywell or Boeing,
could have a material effect on the Company and its operating subsidiaries.

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 amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded on the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The
Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Certain
provisions of SFAS No. 133 were amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities-an amendment of Statement
133." The provisions of these Statements are effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Had the Company adopted SFAS 133 at March 31,
2001, the estimated impact to the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated
statement of income would not have been material.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets by the straight-line method.
Buildings and improvements are depreciated over a period of 15 to 39 1/2 years,
and machinery and equipment are depreciated over a period of 7 to 15 years
(except for furniture, fixtures and computer equipment which are depreciated
over a period of 3 to 10 years).

EXCESS OF COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED

The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of twenty-five to thirty years.
Accumulated amortization at March 31, 2000 and 2001 was $10,303 and $17,097,
respectively. The carrying value of excess of cost over net assets acquired is
evaluated periodically in relation to the operating performance and expected
future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying businesses.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets at March 31, 2000 and 2001 of $17,912 and $64,551
respectively, consist primarily of certain product rights, patents, trademarks,
aerospace designs and covenant-not-to-compete agreements. Intangible assets are
amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which range
from five to thirty years. Accumulated amortization at March 31, 2000 and 2001
was $6,484 and $10,243, respectively.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues are recorded when services are performed or when products are
shipped. Reserves for contract losses are accrued when estimated costs to
complete exceed expected future revenues.

PRE-PRODUCTION DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company expenses as incurred design and development costs related to
long-term supply arrangements unless such costs are contractually recoverable.
At March 31, 2000 and 2001, the Company had capitalized $2,013 and $5,044,
respectively, of contractually recoverable design and development costs.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Effective April 1, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock
of ACR Industries, Inc. ("ACR"), Chem-Fab Corporation ("Chem-Fab") and Airborne
Nacelle Services, Inc. ("Airborne Nacelle") and on June 1, 2000, the Company
acquired certain assets from the Anadite California Restoration Trust ("Anadite
Assets") (collectively, the "2001 Acquisitions"). ACR, located in Macomb,
Michigan, is a leading manufacturer of complex geared assemblies including gas
turbine jet engine gear boxes, helicopter transmissions, geared systems for
fixed-winged aircraft and other related components. Chem-Fab and Airborne
Nacelle, both located in Hot Springs, Arkansas, together process sheet metal and
other structural parts and assemblies for the aerospace industry. The Anadite
Assets, which will be relocated to several of the Company's existing operating
facilities, provide anodizing, chemical film coating, phosphate flouride
coating, passiviation, liquid penetrant inspection, hardness testing,
conductivity testing, thermal optical properties testing and painting to the
aerospace industry. The combined purchase price for the 2001

31

3. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
Acquisitions was $101,434. The purchase price includes cash paid at closing, the
assumption of debt and certain liabilities, direct costs of the acquisitions and
deferred payments.

In addition to the above acquisitions, on September 30, 2000, in a series of
transactions with Honeywell, the Company acquired certain product rights and
assets associated with hydraulic systems ("New Hydraulic Systems Product Line")
and auxiliary power units ("APU's") ("New APU Product Lines"), (collectively,
the "New Product Lines"). The New Hydraulic Systems Product Line, which has been
relocated from Honeywell's Rocky Mount, North Carolina facility to Triumph's
Frisby Aerospace, Inc. subsidiary, located in Clemmons, North Carolina, is used
in connection with the design, manufacture and overhaul of hydraulic pumps,
motors and power transfer units. The New APU Product Lines, for which Triumph
has become the exclusive designated 700 APU Factory Service Center and exclusive
distributor of new 660 APU products, has been transferred to Triumph's Triumph
Air Repair facility located in Phoenix, Arizona. The combined purchase price for
the New Product Lines was $62,250. The purchase price includes cash paid at
closing, the assumption of debt and certain liabilities and direct costs of
acquisitions.

The combined excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of
the net assets acquired in the 2001 Acquisitions in the amount of $58,691 was
recorded as excess of cost over net assets acquired and is being amortized over
thirty years on a straight-line basis. The excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair value of the tangible assets acquired in the New Product Lines in
the amount of $51,198 has been recorded as intangible assets. The intangible
assets related to the hydraulic systems are being amortized over 30 years and
the intangible assets related to the APU product rights are being amortized over
10 years.

In fiscal 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Ralee
Engineering Company ("Ralee"), Construction Brevitees d'Alfortville ("CBA"), and
Lee Aerospace, Inc. ("Lee") and also acquired substantially all of the assets of
KT Aerofab, now operated by the Company as Triumph Components-San Diego, Inc.
(collectively, the "2000 Acquisitions"). Ralee, based in City of Industry,
California, manufactures long structural components such as stringers, cords,
floor beams and spars for the aviation industry. CBA, located near Paris, France
is a manufacturer of mechanical ball bearing control assemblies for the
aerospace, ground transportation and marine industries. Triumph Components-San
Diego, Inc. is a developer of high-temperature metal alloy parts. Lee, located
in Wichita, Kansas, is a leading supplier of unheated windshields, flight deck
windows and cabin windows to the general aviation and corporate jet market. The
combined purchase price for these acquisitions was $56,935. The purchase price
includes cash paid at closing, the assumption of debt and certain liabilities,
direct costs of the acquisitions, deferred payments and contingent payments of
approximately $9,142, which are included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2000.
The combined excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the
net assets acquired of $29,751 was recorded as excess of cost over the net
assets acquired and is being amortized over thirty years on a straight-line
basis. The Lee acquisition agreement provides for a reduction in the purchase
price in the event certain performance measurements are not met on each
specified date through 2003.

In fiscal 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Nu-Tech
Industries, Inc. ("Nu-Tech"), DG Industries, Inc. ("DG"), and DV
Industries, Inc. ("DV") and substantially all of the assets of Chase Aerospace
(UK) Limited, renamed Triumph Air Repair (Europe) Limited ("Triumph Air Repair
(Europe)"), Hartford Tool and Die Company, renamed HTD Aerospace, Inc. ("HTD")
and May Industries, Inc. and Metal Joining, Inc. together renamed Triumph
Precision, Inc. ("Triumph Precision").

costs of the acquisitions, deferred payments and a contingent payment of
approximately $7,000, which is included in accrued expenses at March 31, 1999.
The combined excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the
net assets acquired of $71,435 was recorded as excess of cost over net assets
acquired and is being amortized over thirty years on a straight-line basis.

These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method and,
accordingly, are included in the consolidated financial statements from their
dates of acquisition. These acquisitions were funded by the Company's long-term
borrowings in place at the date of each respective acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma information for the year ended March 31,
2000 has been prepared assuming the 2001 Acquisitions and the 2000 Acquisitions
had occurred on April 1, 1999: Net sales: $532,592; Net Income: $38,724;
Earnings per share--basic: $3.31; and Earnings per share--diluted: $3.12. The
pro forma effect of the 2001 Acquisitions for the year ended March 31, 2001 was
not material. The unaudited pro forma information includes adjustments for
interest expense that would have been incurred to finance the purchases,
additional depreciation based on the estimated fair market value of the property
and equipment acquired, and the amortization of the intangible assets and excess
of cost over net assets acquired arising from the transactions. The unaudited
pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations as they would have been had the transactions been effected on the
assumed dates.

On October 16, 2000, the Company amended its revolving credit facility
("Credit Facility") with its lenders to increase the Credit Facility to $350,000
from $250,000 and amend certain terms and covenants. The Credit Facility bears
interest at either LIBOR plus between 0.75% and 1.75% or the prime rate (or the
Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% if greater) at the option of the Company and
expires on June 13, 2004.

35
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

6. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
The variation in the interest rate is based upon the Company's ratio of total
indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.175%
and 0.375% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The Company may
allocate up to $5,000 of the available Credit Facility for the issuance of
letters of credit of which $1,400 and $1,700 was used as of March 31, 2000 and
2001, respectively. At March 31, 2000 and 2001, the interest rate on borrowings
under the Credit Facility was 7.05% and 7.62%, respectively. As of March 31,
2001, $203,300 of additional borrowings were available under the Credit
Facility.

The Company has entered into a two-year interest rate swap to exchange
floating rate for fixed rate interest payments to hedge against interest rate
changes on $100,000 of the Company's outstanding balance under its Credit
Facility. The Company provides protection to meet actual exposures and does not
speculate in derivatives. The net effect of the spread between the floating rate
(30-day LIBOR) and the fixed rate (6.56%) is reflected as an adjustment to
interest expense in the period incurred. The other party to the interest rate
swap agreement exposes the Company to credit loss in the event of
non-performance, although the Company does not anticipate such non-performance.

At March 31, 2001, the Subordinated Promissory Notes consist of five notes,
a $1,600 principal amount bearing interest at 7%, due on July 1 of 2001, a
$9,548 principal amount bearing interest at 10.5%, due in equal installments on
December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, a $4,683 principal amount bearing
interest at 7%, due in annual installments of $1,000 on July 1 of each year
commencing in 2001 through and including 2002 with a final payment of $2,683 on
July 1, 2003, a $2,000 principal amount bearing interest at 7%, due in equal
annual installments of $1,000 on March 31, 2002 and 2003 and an $827 principal
amount bearing interest at the 1 year Eurobor plus 1%, which at March 31, 2001
was 5.3%, due in annual installments of $288 on October 18 of 2001 and 2002 with
a final payment of $251 on October 18, 2003. With regard to the 10.5% note, the
Company, at its sole discretion, may pay interest by issuance of additional
10.5% notes and elected to do so for $770, $854 and $960 for the years ended
March 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively.

The indentures under the debt agreements described above contain
restrictions and covenants which include limitations on the Company's ability to
incur additional indebtedness, issue stock options or warrants, make certain
restricted payments and acquisitions, create liens, enter into transactions with
affiliates, sell substantial portions of its assets and pay cash dividends.
Additional covenants require compliance with financial tests, including
leverage, interest coverage ratio, and maintenance of minimum net worth.

The fair value of the Company's Credit Facility and the Bonds approximate
their carrying values. The fair value of the subordinated promissory notes,
based on a discounted cash flow method, is approximately $19,500.

Maturities of long-term debt are as follows: 2002--$6,017; 2003--$9,236;
2004--$10,045; 2005--$147,365; 2006--$775; thereafter, $2,884 through 2013.

Interest paid on indebtedness during the years ended March 31, 1999, 2000,
and 2001 amounted to $3,957, $8,057 and $19,278, respectively.

7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In March 2001, the Company completed the sale of 3,000,003 shares of its
Common stock for $37.50 a share through an underwritten public offering. In
addition, the Company granted the underwriters of its

36
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
public offering a 30-day option to purchase additional shares to cover
over-allotments. In April 2001, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment
option and the Company sold an additional 450,000 shares of its common stock.
The net proceeds from the sales totaled $122,406 and were used to repay
long-term debt.

On January 3, 2001, the Company granted to its two top executive officers a
total of 27,000 shares of its Common stock, valued at $1,043 at issuance, which
vests over three years and is included in capital in excess of par value.

The Company purchased 52,700 shares and 191,500 shares of its Common stock
as treasury stock in fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2000, respectively. Treasury stock
is recorded at cost.

The holders of the Common stock and the Class D common stock are entitled to
one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders of
Triumph except that Class D does not participate in the voting of directors and
is entitled to participate ratably in any distributions. The holders of Class D
common stock may elect at any time to convert any or all such shares into Common
stock on a share-for-share basis.

The Company has preferred stock of $.01 par value, 250,000 shares
authorized. At March 31, 2000 and 2001, no shares of preferred stock were
outstanding.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following is a reconciliation between the weighted average common shares
outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Options to purchase 114,200 shares of Common stock, at prices ranging from
$43.13 per share to $44.88 per share, were outstanding during fiscal 2001. These
options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the
Common stock during the twelve months ended March 31, 2001 and, therefore, the
effect would be antidilutive.

9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN

The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan, under which
salaried and certain hourly employees may defer a portion of their compensation.
Eligible participants may contribute to the plan up to 20% of their regular
compensation before taxes. The Company matches contributions of 50% of the first
6% of compensation contributed by the participant. All contributions and Company
matches are invested at the direction of the employee in one or more mutual
funds. Company matching contributions

vest immediately and aggregated $1,441, $1,748 and $2,152 for the years ended
March 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively.

OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

In connection with the acquisition of one of the Company's subsidiaries, the
Company provides certain postretirement medical and insurance benefits to
eligible employees under a collective bargaining agreement. For any employees
who retired through the date of the acquisition, the previous owner retained all
liabilities for benefits due and administration of the postretirement benefits.
The Company has assumed responsibility for administration of the postretirement
coverage for any eligible employee who retires subsequent to the date of
acquisition. The Company will pay the costs related to these benefits upon
retirement and will be reimbursed by the previous owner for its pro rata portion
based on relative length of service. The Company does not fund the plan.

The Company has recorded a total liability of approximately $3,762 (as
estimated by actuaries) for other postretirement benefits, of which
approximately $3,235 is estimated to be reimbursed by the previous owner as of
March 31, 2001. These amounts are included in other liabilities and other
assets, respectively. The annual expense for such benefits is not material.

ACCRUED COMPENSATION

Included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2000 and 2001 is accrued
compensation of $11,368 and $16,666, respectively.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company has stock option plans under which employees and non-employee
directors may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company's Common
stock at the fair market value at the time of the grant. Options generally vest
over three to four years and expire ten years from the date of the grant.

At March 31, 2000 and 2001, 747,381 options and 779,752 options,
respectively, were available for issuance under the plans.

The Company uses the accounting method under APB Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25")
and related interpretations for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, when
the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market
price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized. The Company adopted the disclosure-only option under SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123").

Pro forma disclosure, as required by SFAS 123, regarding net income and
earnings per share has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method.

The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.5% for 1999, 5.6% for 2000 and 6.2%
for 2001; no dividends; a volatility factor of the expected market price of the
Company's Common stock of .30, .36 and .34 for 1999, 2000 and 2001,
respectively, and a weighted-average expected life of the options of 6 years.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the weighted average fair value of
the options ($17.79 for the 1999 issuance, $11.66 for the 2000 issuance and
$14.13 for the 2001 issuance) is amortized to expense over the options' assumed
vesting period. The following pro forma information has been prepared assuming
the Company accounted for its stock options under the fair value method:

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Certain of the Company's business operations and facilities are subject to a
number of federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. The
Company is indemnified for environmental liabilities related to assets purchased
from IKON Office Solutions, Inc. (formerly Alco Standard Corporation) which
existed prior to the acquisition of the assets and any unidentified
environmental liabilities which arose subsequent to the date of settlement
through July 22, 2000, from conditions or activities existing at these
facilities prior to the acquisition. In the opinion of management, there are no
significant environmental concerns which would have a material effect on the
financial condition or operating results of the Company which are not covered by
such indemnification.

The Company is involved in certain litigation matters arising out of its
normal business activities. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
resolution of such litigation will not have a material effect on the financial
condition or operating results of the Company.

13. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS

Approximately 12% of the Company's labor force is covered under collective
bargaining agreements. These collective bargaining agreements expire over the
next several years, with the exception of one operating location in the Aviation
segment which expired and is currently being negotiated and one operating
location in the Metals segment which will expire in the next twelve months.

14. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company is organized based on the products and services that it
provides. Under this organizational structure, the Company has two reportable
segments: Aviation and Metals. The Company's Aviation segment consists of
thirty-two operating units and the Metals segment consists of two operating
units at March 31, 2001.

The Aviation segment revenue is generated from the manufacture, repair and
overhaul of sub-assembly and structural components and flight controls and
instrumentation for aircraft and related products.

The sub-assembly components revenues are derived from repair and overhaul
services on auxiliary power units for both commercial airlines and OEMs. The
Company also repairs and overhauls aircraft accessories, including
constant-speed drives, cabin compressors, starters and generators, and pneumatic
drive units. Further, the Company provides precision machining services
primarily to various OEMs for other sub-assembly components manufactured from
refractory and other metals for the aviation and aerospace industry. The
structural components revenues are derived from stretch forming, die forming,
milling, bonding, machining, welding and assembly and fabrication on aircraft
wings, fuselages and skins for aircraft produced by OEMs such as Boeing and
Bombardier. The Company also manufactures metallic and composite bonded
honeycomb assemblies for fuselage, wings and flight control surface parts for
airlines and other aircraft operators. The flight controls and instrumentation
revenues are derived from designing and engineering of mechanical and
electromechanical controls, such as hydraulic systems, main engine gearbox
assemblies and mechanical cable for OEMs and commercial airlines. The Company
also performs repair and overhaul services, and supplies spare parts, for
various types of cockpit instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial
airlines on a worldwide basis.

The Metals segment produces and distributes electrogalvanized steel, which
can be stamped, formed, welded and painted and coated steel. The Company also
operates a steel service center specializing in flat rolled products and their
processing, including hot and cold rolled sheet and galvanized sheet and coil.
In addition, the Company operates a business engaged in the erection of
structural frameworks for buildings and bridges.

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 evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating
income of each reportable segment, rather than at the operating unit level. The
accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described
in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2). There are no
intersegment sales.
