1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Triumph Group, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
The Company designs, engineers and manufactures products for original equipment manufacturers of aircraft and aircraft components and repairs and overhauls aircraft components and accessories for commercial airline, air cargo carrier and military customers on a worldwide basis.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires companies to measure compensation cost for all share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. In April 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a rule allowing public companies to delay the adoption of SFAS No. 123R to annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. As a result, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, using the modified-prospective transition method, beginning on April 1, 2006, and therefore, began to expense the fair value of all outstanding options over their remaining vesting periods to the extent the options were not fully vested as of the adoption date and began to expense the fair value of all options granted subsequent to March 31, 2006 over their requisite service periods. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded $600 and $1,164 of share-based compensation expense. Previous periods have not been restated. (See Note 7 for further details).
RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this interpretation.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets cost and accumulated amortization at September 30, 2006 were $86,959 and $38,009, respectively. Intangible assets cost and accumulated amortization at March 31, 2006 were $83,459 and $34,035, respectively. Intangible assets consists of two major classes: (i) product rights and licenses, which at September 30, 2006 had a weighted-average life of 11.6 years, and (ii) non-compete agreements, customer relationships and other, which at September 30, 2006 had a weighted-average life of 11.8 years. Gross cost and accumulated amortization of product rights and licenses at September 30, 2006 were $69,452 and $27,787, respectively, and at March 31, 2006 were $69,452 and $24,631, respectively. Gross cost and accumulated amortization of noncompete agreements, customer relationships and other at September 30, 2006 were $17,507 and $10,222, respectively, and at March 31, 2006 were $14,007 and $9,404, respectively. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 was $1,972 and $3,974, respectively. Amortization expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and the succeeding five fiscal years by year is expected to be as follows: 2007: $7,918; 2008: $7,875; 2009: $6,984; 2010: $6,881; 2011: $4,991; 2012: $3,573.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year presentation.

3. ACQUISITIONS
Effective April 1, 2006, the Company acquired the assets and business of Excel Manufacturing, Inc., through a newly organized, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Triumph Structures Wichita, Inc. The acquisition of this business adds a significant new capability to the Companys Aerospace Systems segment with the acquired companys high-speed monolithic machining processes. Triumph Structures-Wichita, Inc. specializes in complex, high speed monolithic precision machining, turning, subassemblies and sheet metal fabrication, serving domestic and international aerospace customers. Effective April 1, 2006 the Company also acquired the assets and business of Air Excellence International, Inc. and its affiliates through two newly organized, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, Triumph Interiors, LLC and Triumph Interiors Limited. The acquisition of this business expands the products and services supplied by our Aftermarket Services segment and allows the Company to provide integrated interior solutions to the airline industry and maintenance service providers. Triumph Interiors, LLC and Triumph Interiors Limited specialize in refurbishing and repairing aircraft interiors such as sidewalls, ceiling panels and overhead storage bins and manufactures a full line of interior lighting and plastic components. The acquisitions of the assets and businesses of Excel Manufacturing, Inc. and Air Excellence International, Inc. and its affiliates are herein referred to as the 2007 Acquisitions. The combined purchase price of the 2007 Acquisitions of $49,018 includes cash paid at closing, liabilities assumed and direct costs of the transactions. The excess of the combined purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair value of the net assets acquired of $24,336 was recorded as goodwill, all of which is tax-deductible. The Company has also identified intangible assets valued at approximately $3,500 comprised of noncompete agreements, customer relationships, and backlog. The Company has recorded its best estimate of the intangibles and property and equipment subject to appraisals; accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price is not complete and is subject to change.
The following condensed balance sheet represents the amounts assigned to each major asset and liability caption in the aggregate for the 2007 Acquisitions:

These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, are included in the consolidated financial statements from their effective dates of acquisition. These acquisitions were funded by the Companys long-term borrowings in place at the date of each respective acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma information for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005 has been prepared assuming the 2007 Acquisitions had occurred on April 1, 2005. The pro forma information for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005 is as follows: Net sales: $190,905 and $374,850; Net income: $7,577 and $15,014; Net income per share basic: $0.48 and $0.94; and Net income per share diluted: $0.47 and $0.94.
The unaudited pro forma information includes adjustments for interest expense that would have been incurred to finance the purchase, additional depreciation based on the estimated fair market value of the property and equipment acquired, and the amortization of the intangible assets arising from the transactions. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as it would have been had the transaction been effected on the assumed date.

Credit Facility
On September 18, 2006, the Company amended its existing amended and restated credit agreement (the Credit Facility) with its lenders to permit the issuance of up to $202,000 of convertible debt and to revise the definition of consolidated total indebtedness to exclude indebtedness under the senior notes.
On October 20, 2006, the Company amended the Credit Facility with its lenders to increase the Credit Facility to $350,000 from $250,000, extend the maturity date to June 30, 2011 and amend certain other terms and covenants. The Credit Facility bears interest at either (i) LIBOR plus between 0.625% and 2.00% or (ii) the prime rate or (iii) an overnight rate at the option of the company. The applicable interest rate is based upon the Companys 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 0.400% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The Company may allocate up to $30,000 of the available Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit. The Companys obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Companys subsidiaries.
On September 18, 2006, the Company issued $201,250 in convertible senior subordinated notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Notes). The Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the Company, and rank (i) junior in right of payment to all of the Companys existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) equal in right of payment with any other future senior subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Company entered into an indenture (the Indenture), dated as of September 18, 2006, with The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.
The Company received net proceeds from the sale of the Notes of approximately $195,620 after deducting estimated offering expenses of approximately $5,630. The intended use of the net proceeds from the sale was for prepayment of the Companys outstanding senior notes, including a make-whole premium, fees and expenses in connection with the prepayment, and to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Companys Credit Facility. Because prepayment of the senior notes required prior written notice to the note holders, a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were temporarily used to pay down the then outstanding amount under the Companys Credit Facility of $104,950. Approximately $5,630 in debt issuance costs have been recorded as other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are being amortized over a period of five years.
The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.625% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1 beginning April 1, 2007. During the period commencing on October 6, 2011 and ending on, but excluding, April 1, 2012 and each six-month period from October 1 to March 31 or from April 1 to September 30 thereafter, the Company will pay contingent interest during the applicable interest period if the average trading price (as defined in the Indenture) of a Note for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the first day of the relevant six-month period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the Notes. The contingent interest payable per Note in respect of any six-month period will equal 0.25% per annum calculated on the average trading price of a Note for the relevant five trading day period. This contingent interest feature represents an embedded derivative. Since it is in the control of the Company to call the Notes at any time after October 6, 2011, the value of the embedded derivative was determined to be de minimis. Accordingly, no value has been assigned at issuance or at September 30, 2006.
The Notes mature on October 1, 2026 unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Company may redeem the Notes for cash, either in whole or in part, anytime on or after October 6, 2011 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
11
the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, up to but not including the date of redemption. In addition, holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes on October 1, 2011, 2016 and 2021, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, up to, but not including, the date of repurchase. The Notes are convertible into the Companys common stock at a rate equal to 18.3655 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $54.45 per share), subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver to the holder surrendering the Notes for conversion, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, an amount consisting of cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 and the Companys total conversion obligation and, to the extent that the Companys total conversion obligation exceeds $1,000, at the Companys election, cash or shares of the Companys common stock in respect of the remainder.
If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any. The carrying amount of convertible senior subordinated notes approximates fair value.
12
Prepayment of Senior Notes
On October 4, 2006, the Company prepaid all of its outstanding Class A Senior Notes and Class B Senior Notes (collectively, the Senior Notes) and, accordingly, the rights of the holders of the Senior Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement, dated November 21, 2002, between the Company and such holders, as amended, ceased. The Senior Notes were prepaid with the proceeds from the Companys sale of the Notes as discussed above. Immediately prior to prepayment, $68,375 aggregate principal amount of Class A Senior Notes, which carried a fixed rate of interest of 6.06%, were outstanding, and $56,049 aggregate amount of Class B Senior Notes, which carried a fixed rate of interest of 5.59%, were outstanding. If the Company had not prepaid the outstanding Senior Notes, they would have matured on December 2, 2012, subject to a requirement under the Note Purchase Agreement that the Company annually prepay $8,007 of the outstanding Class B notes starting on December 2, 2006. The Senior Notes were senior unsecured obligations of the Company and ranked junior in right of payment to the rights of the Companys secured creditors to the extent of their security in the Companys assets, equal in right of payment to the rights of creditors under the Companys other existing and future unsecured unsubordinated obligations, senior in right of payment to the rights of creditors under obligations expressly subordinated to the Senior Notes, and effectively subordinated to secured and unsecured creditors of the Companys subsidiaries.
The prepayment was made upon proper notice to the holders of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes being prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $2,466, plus a make whole premium of approximately $4,395 based on the value of the remaining scheduled interest payments on the Senior Notes being prepaid. The Company will expense the make whole premium of $4,395 as well as unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Senior Notes of $692 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

7. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company has a number of stock-related compensation plans, including stock option and restricted stock plans, which are described in Note 2 and Note 10 to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Through March 31, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock option plans using the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (APB No. 25) and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, generally, when the exercise price of the Companys stock options equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense was recognized. As previously noted, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, using the modified-prospective transition method, beginning on April 1, 2006, and therefore, began to expense the fair value of all outstanding options over their remaining vesting periods to the extent the options were not fully vested as of the adoption date and began to expense the fair value of all options granted subsequent to March 31, 2006 over their requisite service periods.
SFAS No. 123R also requires the benefits of realized tax deductions in excess of previously recognized tax benefits on compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow ($472 for the six months ended September 30, 2006) rather than an operating cash flow, as previously required. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, the Company classified share-based compensation within selling, general, and administrative expenses to correspond with the same line item as the majority of the cash compensation paid to employees.
14
Employee options and non-employee director options generally vest over a three-year service period. Compensation expense recognized for all option grants is net of estimated forfeitures and is recognized over the awards respective requisite service periods. The fair values relating to the option grants were estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Companys stock and other factors, such as implied market volatility. We used historical exercise data based on the age at grant of the option holder to estimate the options expected term, which represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company anticipated the future option holding periods to be similar to the historical option holding periods. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of these awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of these awards.
The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of options granted:
Six months endedSeptember 30,
Weighted average risk-free interest rate
4.0
%
Expected dividend yield
Weighted average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Companys common stock
.42
Weighted average expected life of the options
6 years
Restricted shares generally vest in full after four years. The fair value of restricted shares under the Companys restricted stock plans is determined by the product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Companys common stock. The fair value of restricted shares is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of four years.
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded $600 and $1,164, respectively, of share-based compensation expense. Total share-based compensation expense was comprised of stock option expense of $153 and $315 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and restricted stock expense of $447 and $849 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The Company estimates it will record share-based compensation expense of approximately $2,300 in fiscal 2007. This estimate may be impacted by potential changes to the structure of the Companys share-based compensation plans which could impact the number of stock options granted in fiscal 2007, changes in valuation assumptions, and changes in the market price of the Companys common stock, among other things and, as a result, the actual share-based compensation expense in fiscal 2007 may differ from the Companys current estimate.

9. SEGMENTS
The Company has two reportable segments: Aerospace Systems and Aftermarket Services. The Companys Aerospace Systems segment consists of 28 operating locations and the Aftermarket Services segment consists of 18 operating locations at September 30, 2006.
The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Companys operations which manufacture products primarily for the aerospace OEM market. The segments operations design and engineer mechanical and electromechanical controls, such as hydraulic systems, main engine gearbox assemblies, accumulators and mechanical control cables. The segments revenues are also derived from stretch forming, die forming, milling, bonding, machining, welding and assembly and fabrication of various structural components used in aircraft wings, fuselages and other significant assemblies. Further, the segments operations also manufacture metallic and composite bonded honeycomb assemblies for floor panels, fuselage, wings and flight control surface parts. These products are sold to various aerospace OEMs on a global basis.
The Aftermarket Services segment consists of the Companys operations that provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services to both commercial and military markets on components and accessories manufactured by third parties. Maintenance, repair and overhaul revenues are derived from services on auxiliary power units, aircraft accessories, including constant-speed drives, cabin compressors, starters and generators, and pneumatic drive units. In addition, the segments operations repair and overhaul thrust reversers, nacelle components and other aerostructures. The segments operations also perform repair and overhaul services, and supply spare parts, for various types of cockpit instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial airlines on a worldwide basis.
Segment operating income is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses identifiable with that segment. Corporate includes general corporate administrative costs and any other costs not identifiable with one of the Companys segments.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating income of each reportable segment, rather than at the operating location level. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2).
Prior year period segment results have been changed to classify certain revenue and costs from the Aftermarket Services segment to the Aerospace Systems segment for the operations of Triumph Fabrications-Phoenix and Triumph Fabrications-Fort Worth due to the fact that most of their product line has been transitioned to aerospace OEM products. The transitioning of these business units resulted in the shift of approximately $4,979 in revenue and $1,744 in operating loss, previously reported in the Aftermarket Services segment, to the Aerospace Systems segments results for the three months ended September 30, 2005, and $9,409 in revenue and $2,560 in operating loss for the six months ended September 30, 2005. Segment results have been adjusted to reflect these changes.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein.)
OVERVIEW
We are a major supplier to the aerospace industry and have two operating segments: (i) Triumph Aerospace Systems Group, whose companies design, engineer and manufacture a wide range of proprietary and build to print components, assemblies and systems for the global aerospace OEM market; and (ii) Triumph Aftermarket Services Group, whose companies serve aircraft fleets, notably commercial airlines, the U.S. military and cargo carriers, through the maintenance, repair and overhaul services of aircraft components and accessories manufactured by third parties.
Financial highlights for the second quarter fiscal 2007 include:
· Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 23% to $226.1 million
· Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 76% to $23.3 million
· Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 79% to $12.6 million
· Backlog increased 39% during the quarter to $1.1 billion
For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, net sales totaled $226.1 million, a 23% increase from last years second quarter net sales of $183.6 million. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 79% to $12.6 million, or $0.77 per diluted common share, versus $7.0 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of the prior year. During the quarter, we generated $4.6 million of cash flow from operating activities.

Net sales increased by $42.5 million, or 23.1%, to $226.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 from $183.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The acquisitions of the assets and businesses of Excel Manufacturing, Inc. and Air Excellence International, Inc. and its affiliates, herein referred to as the 2007 Acquisitions, contributed $13.4 million of the net sales increase. Excluding the effects of the 2007 Acquisitions, organic sales growth was $29.1 million, or 15.8%.
The Aerospace Systems segment benefited primarily from increased sales to our OEM customers driven by increased aircraft build rates, while the increase in sales for our Aftermarket Services segment was the result of increased demand for our services as a result of growth in global air traffic.
Segment operating income increased by $11.2 million or 70.2%, to $27.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 from $16.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Operating income growth was a direct result of margins attained on increased sales volume as described above and the contribution of $4.0 million from the 2007 Acquisitions, partially offset by increases in payroll, healthcare, litigation costs and costs associated with the startup of our new Thailand maintenance and repair facility.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 42.0%, to $3.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 from $2.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to recognition of stock-based compensation and increased bonus accruals.
Interest expense and other increased by $0.6 million, or 19.6%, to $3.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared to $3.2 million for the prior year period. This increase was due to higher average borrowings outstanding and increased interest rates on our variable rate debt.
The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was 35.3% compared to 29.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The increase in the tax rate was primarily due to the expiration of the federal research and development tax credit and costs associated with the construction of our new Thailand maintenance and repair facility that were not tax benefited. The prior year quarter ended September 30, 2005 included a $0.3 million reduction of income tax expense resulting from adjusting the income tax accrual to the filed tax return.
The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Companys operations which manufacture products primarily for the aerospace OEM market. The Aerospace Systems operations design and engineer mechanical and electromechanical controls, such as hydraulic systems, main engine gearbox assemblies, accumulators and mechanical control cables. The Aerospace Systems revenues are also derived from stretch forming, die forming, milling, bonding, machining, welding and assembly and fabrication of various structural components used in aircraft wings, fuselages and other significant assemblies. Further, the segments operations also manufacture metallic and composite bonded honeycomb assemblies for floor panels, fuselage, wings and flight control surface parts. These products are sold to various aerospace OEMs on a global basis.
The Aftermarket Services segment consists of the Companys operations that provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services to both commercial and military markets on components and accessories manufactured by third parties. Maintenance, repair and overhaul revenues are derived from services on auxiliary power units, aircraft accessories, including constant-speed drives, cabin compressors, starters and generators, and pneumatic drive units. In addition, the Aftermarket Services operations repair and overhaul thrust reversers, nacelle components and other aerostructures. The Aftermarket Services operations also perform repair and overhaul services, and supply spare parts, for various types of cockpit instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial airlines on a worldwide basis.

Prior year period segment results have been changed to classify certain revenue and costs from the Aftermarket Services segment to the Aerospace Systems segment for the operations of Triumph Fabrications-Phoenix and Triumph Fabrications-Fort Worth as most of their product line has been transitioned to aerospace OEM products. The transitioning of these business units resulted in the shift of approximately $5.0 million in revenue and $1.7 million in operating loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, previously reported in the Aftermarket Services segment, to the Aerospace Systems segment. Segment results have been adjusted to reflect these changes.
Aerospace Systems: The Aerospace Systems segment net sales increased by $34.4 million, or 23.6%, to $179.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 from $145.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to increased sales to our OEM customers driven by increased aircraft build rates and the net sales contributed from the acquisition of the assets and business of Excel Manufacturing, Inc. (now Triumph Structures-Wichita).
Aerospace Systems segment operating income increased by $9.9 million, or 63.7%, to $25.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 from $15.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Operating income increased primarily due to margins attained on increased sales volume and the margins contributed from the Triumph Structures-Wichita acquisition, partially offset by increases in payroll, healthcare and litigation costs.
Aftermarket Services: The Aftermarket Services segment net sales increased by $7.7 million, or 19.5%, to $47.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 from $39.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to global air traffic growth, resulting in increased demand for our repair and overhaul services and the net sales contributed from the acquisition of the assets and business of Air Excellence International, Inc. and its affiliates (now Triumph Interiors).
Aftermarket Services segment operating income increased by $1.4 million, or 264.3%, to $1.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 from $0.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Operating income increased primarily due to margins attained on increased sales volume and the contribution from the acquisition of Triumph Interiors partially offset by increases in payroll, healthcare and costs associated with the start up of our new Thailand maintenance and repair facility.

Segment operating income increased by $16.1 million or 47.9%, to $49.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006 from $33.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005. Operating income growth was a direct result of margins attained on increased sales volume as described above and the contribution of $7.8 million from the 2007 Acquisitions, partially offset by increases in payroll, healthcare, litigation costs and costs associated with the startup of our new Thailand maintenance and repair facility.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 21.7%, to $8.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006 from $6.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to recognition of stock-based compensation and increased bonus accruals partially offset by decreased regulatory costs.
Interest expense and other increased by $1.2 million, or 18.4%, to $7.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $6.4 million for the prior year period. This increase was due to higher average borrowings outstanding resulting from the 2007 Acquisitions and our capital expenditures.
The effective tax rate was 35.3% for the six months ended September 30, 2006 and 31.0% for the six months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in tax rate was primarily due to the expiration of the federal research and development tax credit and cost associated with the construction of our new Thailand maintenance and repair facility that were not tax benefited. The first six months ended September 30, 2005 included a $0.3 million reduction of income tax expense resulting from adjusting the income tax accrual to the filed tax return.

25
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital needs are generally funded through cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit arrangements. During the six months ended September 30, 2006, we generated approximately $5.2 million of cash flows from operating activities, used approximately $74.1 million in investing activities and generated approximately $169.7 million in financing activities.
In April 2006, the Company acquired the assets and business of Excel Manufacturing, Inc., located in Wichita, Kansas. In April 2006, the Company also acquired the assets and business of Air Excellence International, Inc. and its affiliates which is headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, and operates three other strategically located facilities: Dallas, TX, Portland, OR and Shannon, Ireland. The total cash paid at these closings of approximately $39.5 million was funded by borrowings under the Companys revolving credit facility.
On September 18, 2006, the Company amended its existing amended and restated credit agreement (the Credit Facility) with its lenders to permit the issuance of up to $202.0 million of convertible debt and to revise the definition of consolidated total indebtedness to exclude indebtedness under the senior notes.
On September 18, 2006, the Company issued $201.3 million in convertible senior subordinated notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Notes). The Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the Company, and rank (i) junior in right of payment to all of the Companys existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) equal in right of payment with any other future senior subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Company entered into an indenture (the Indenture), dated as of September 18, 2006, with The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.
The Company received net proceeds from the sale of the Notes of approximately $195.6 million after deducting estimated offering expenses of approximately $5.6 million. The intended use of the net proceeds from the sale was for prepayment of the Companys outstanding senior notes, including a make-whole premium, fees and expenses in connection with the prepayment, and to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Companys credit facility. Because prepayment of the senior notes required at least 30 days prior written notice to the note holders, a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were temporarily used to pay down the then outstanding amount under the Companys credit facility of $105.0 million. Approximately $5.6 million in debt issuance costs have been recorded as other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are being amortized over a period of five years.
26
The Notes mature on October 1, 2026 unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Company may redeem the Notes for cash, either in whole or in part, anytime on or after October 6, 2011 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, up to but not including the date of redemption. In addition, holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes on October 1, 2011, 2016 and 2021, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, up to, but not including, the date of repurchase. The Notes are convertible into the Companys common stock at a rate equal to 18.3655 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $54.45 per share), subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver to the holder surrendering the Notes for conversion, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, an amount consisting of cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 and the Companys total conversion obligation and, to the extent that the Companys total conversion obligation exceeds $1,000, at the Companys election, cash or shares of the Companys common stock in respect of the remainder.
On October 4, 2006, the Company prepaid all of its outstanding Class A Senior Notes and Class B Senior Notes (collectively, the Senior Notes) and, accordingly, the rights of the holders of the Senior Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement, dated November 21, 2002, between the Company and such holders, as amended, ceased. Immediately prior to prepayment, $68.4 million aggregate principal amount of Class A Senior Notes, which carried a fixed rate of interest of 6.06%, were outstanding, and $56.0 million aggregate amount of Class B Senior Notes, which carried a fixed rate of interest of 5.59%, were outstanding. If the Company had not prepaid the outstanding Senior Notes, they would have matured on December 2, 2012, subject to a requirement under the Note Purchase Agreement that the Company annually prepay $8.0 million of the outstanding Class B notes starting on December 2, 2006. The Senior Notes were senior unsecured obligations of the Company and ranked junior in right of payment to the rights of the Companys secured creditors to the extent of their security in the Companys assets, equal in right of payment to the rights of creditors under the Companys other existing and future unsecured unsubordinated obligations, senior in right of payment to the rights of creditors under obligations expressly subordinated to the Senior Notes, and effectively subordinated to secured and unsecured creditors of the Companys subsidiaries.
The prepayment was made upon proper notice to the holders of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes being prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $2.5 million, plus a make whole premium of approximately $4.4 million based on the value of the remaining scheduled interest payments on the Senior Notes being prepaid. The Company will expense the make whole premium of $4.4 million as well as unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Senior Notes of $0.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
On October 20, 2006, the Company amended the Credit Facility with its lenders to increase the Credit Facility to $350.0 million from $250.0 million, extend the maturity date to June 30, 2011 and amend certain other terms and covenants. The Credit Facility bears interest at either (i) LIBOR plus between 0.625% and 2.00% or (ii) the prime rate or (iii) an overnight rate at the option of the company. The applicable interest rate is based upon the Companys 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 0.400% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The Company may allocate up to $30.0 million of the available Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit. The Companys obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Companys subsidiaries.
27
Capital expenditures were approximately $26.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006 primarily for manufacturing machinery and equipment. We funded these expenditures through borrowings under our Credit Facility. We expect capital expenditures to be up to $45.0 million for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2007. The expenditures are expected to be used mainly to expand capacity or replace old equipment at several facilities.
The expected future cash flows for the next five years for long term debt, leases and other obligations are as follows:

We believe that cash generated by operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for our current operations. However, we have a stated policy to grow through acquisition and are continuously evaluating various acquisition opportunities. As a result, we currently are pursuing the potential purchase of a number of candidates. In the event that more than one of these transactions are successfully consummated, the availability under the Credit Facility might be fully utilized and additional funding sources may be needed. There can be no assurance that such funding sources will be available to us on terms favorable to us, if at all.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Companys critical accounting policies are discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and notes accompanying the consolidated financial statements that appear in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Except as otherwise disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report, there were no material changes subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 in the Companys critical accounting policies or in the assumptions or estimates used to prepare the financial information appearing in this report.
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to our future operations and prospects, including statements that are based on current projections and expectations about the markets in which we operate, and our beliefs concerning future performance and capital requirements based upon current available information. Such statements are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us. When used in this document, words like may, might, will, expect, anticipate, believe, potential, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from our current expectations. For example, there can be no assurance that additional capital will not be required or that additional capital, if required, will be available on reasonable terms, if at all, at such times and in such amounts as may be needed by us. In addition to these factors, among other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are uncertainties relating to the integration of acquired businesses, general economic conditions affecting our business, dependence of certain of our businesses on certain key customers as well as competitive factors relating to the aviation industry. For a more detailed discussion of these and other factors affecting us, see the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, filed with the SEC in June 2006.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
For information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. There has been no material change in this information.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of September 30, 2006, we completed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2006.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
One of our subsidiaries, Triumph Controls, LLC. (TCI), has been a party to administrative proceedings before the National Labor Relations Board (the NLRB). In these proceedings, TCIs union has alleged that TCI engaged in unfair labor practices involving unilateral changes to existing terms and conditions of employment without first bargaining with the union. On February 11, 2005, following a hearing, an administrative law judge issued a recommended decision and order finding violations by TCI of the National Labor Relations Act and recommending to the NLRB that TCI take certain remedial action, including the reinstatement of certain employees and the previous terms and conditions of employment, the restoration of certain work, and a make whole remedy. TCI filed exceptions to the administrative law judges recommendations. While the matter was pending before the NLRB for decision, the parties agreed to a settlement of all matters that was completed during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Under the terms of the settlement, certain jobs will be maintained at TCIs facility on specified conditions, the outstanding NLRB Complaint was dismissed by the NLRB Regional Director, the unions remaining charges were withdrawn with the approval of the NLRB, and a sum of $750,000 has been distributed by TCI in accordance with the unions agreement among certain of the employees laid off at the facility.
