NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Common shares outstanding includes
share equivalent units which are contingently issuable shares.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and, when
applicable, potential common shares outstanding during the period.
A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and
diluted earnings (loss) per share is presented below:

All options to purchase shares of common stock at various

the periods.
Options to purchase shares of common stock which totaled 88,600
for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2001 were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the
effect would be antidilutive due to the options' exercise price
being greater than the average market price of the common shares.

NOTE 6 - STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 144, 146 & 148
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived
Assets." There was no effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows resulting
from the adoption of SFAS No. 144 at December 31, 2002.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit
or Disposal Activities." This Statement is effective for exit
or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The
Company does not believe the adoption of this Standard will
have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." This
Statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" to provide alternative methods of transition for an
entity that changes to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation and changes the disclosure
requirements. This Statement is effective for financial statements
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, and therefore, is
currently under review by the Company.
NOTE 7 - PRODUCT WARRANTIES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." This Interpretation elaborates
on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees in interim
and annual financial statements and changes the accounting for obligations
undertaken in issuing guarantees. The disclosure requirements, which
are applicable to the Company with regard to product warranties, are
effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending
after December 15, 2002.
The Company provides a liability for product warranty claims which is
determined primarily on the basis of past claims experience and ongoing
evaluations of any specific probable claims from customers. A reconciliation
of the changes in the product warranty liability is presented below.

GRAHAM CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
December 31, 2002
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Sales increased 16% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003
compared to the same period in the previous year. Sales for the
third quarter increased 16% in the United States and 25% in the
United Kingdom compared to fiscal year 2002. Sales for the nine
months ended December 31, 2002 were at the same level as sales for
the same period last year. Sales in the United States increased 2%
while sales in the United Kingdom declined 8% from the same period
last year. The increase in sales in the United States in the third
quarter is a reflection of uneven production load as year-to-date
sales are in line with the prior year. In the United Kingdom there
was a substantial improvement in sales levels of offshore and dry
pumps in the third quarter compared to the prior year, however,
year-to-date sales are less than last year due to the decline in
the economy and customer capital spending.
Cost of sales as a percent of sales for the third quarter was
81% compared to 73% a year ago. Cost of sales as a percent of
sales for the three month period was 84% in the United States
compared to 76% last year and in the United Kingdom it increased
from 55% to 65%. For the nine months, cost of sales as a percent
of sales was 81% compared to 78% last year. In the United States,
the cost of sales percentage was 84% compared to 81% in the prior
year period and in the United Kingdom it increased to 68% from 62%
for the same period last year. The unfavorable percentages in the
United States are due to higher labor and overhead costs while
sales have remained flat. Product mix has also impacted the
percentages as the prior year sales included revenue earned for
engineering services which contributed significantly to gross
profit. The higher percentage in the United Kingdom also reflects
product mix as well as rising manufacturing overhead costs while
year-to-date sales have fallen.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 8% higher in
the third quarter compared to the same period in fiscal year 2002,
but represented 21% of sales compared to 22% last year due to the
16% increase in sales. For the nine month period, selling, general
and administrative expenses increased 6% as compared to fiscal year
2002 and were 23% of sales compared to 21% last year. The higher
selling, general and administrative expenses are attributable to
increased employee and related benefit costs, additions to the
sales force and a monetary commitment to a community capital
project.
Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 was
3% greater than interest expense for the comparable three month
period of 2002. For the nine month period, interest expense
decreased 50% as compared to 2002. This significant decrease is
due to minimal borrowing in the United States during the current
fiscal year.
Results of Operations (concluded)
- ---------------------------------
The effective income tax rates for the third quarter and nine
month period of fiscal year 2003 were 36% and 34%, respectively.
The effective tax rates for the three months and nine months ended
December 31, 2001 were 32% and 22%, respectively. The lower tax
rates in the prior year were attributable to the recognition of tax
benefits associated with operating losses in the United States.
Financial Condition
- -------------------
Working capital of $11,820,000 at December 31, 2002 compares to
working capital at March 31, 2002 of $13,812,000. The decline
reflects a decrease in current assets and current liabilities of
$7,206,000 and $5,214,000, respectively. The decrease in current
assets related to a decrease in cash and accounts receivable offset
by an increase in investments and income taxes receivable. The
decrease in current liabilities is due to a decrease in accounts
payable, accrued compensation and customer deposits. The decline
in accounts receivable is attributable to the collection of
cancellation charges on certain orders for the electric power
generating industry that were recorded at year end. The cash
received and cash on hand were invested in short-term government
securities. The income tax receivable resulted from the tax
benefit recorded on the current year operating loss. The decrease
in accounts payable and accrued compensation is due to timing of
payments while the decline in customer deposits is the result of
the reclassification of progress payments to offset inventory when
the related inventory is purchased. The current ratio at
December 31, 2002 is 1.9 compared to 1.7 at March 31, 2002.
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended December 31,
2002 were $675,000 compared to $496,000 for the same period last
year. There were no major commitments for capital expenditures as
of December 31, 2002.
Management expects that the cash flow from operations and lines
of credit will provide sufficient resources to fund the fiscal year
2003 cash requirements.
The long-term debt to equity ratio was 3% at December 31,
2002 compared to 1% at March 31, 2002. The total liabilities to
assets ratio is currently 52% compared to 55% at March 31, 2002.
These ratios reflect the continued strength of the Company's
balance sheet although it has incurred operating losses and an
erosion of equity of $1,762,000 or 9% of total equity in the
current year. Due to poor performance of the stock market, the
Company recorded a minimum pension liability adjustment, net of a
tax benefit, of $990,000 which accounted for 56% of the equity
erosion. This decrease in equity will be reduced if the equity
markets improve. The operating losses, net of a favorable foreign
currency translation adjustment, attributed to 37% of the decline
in equity.
New Orders and Backlog
- ----------------------
New orders for the third quarter were $8,790,000 compared to
$9,074,000 for the same period last year. Prior to intercompany
eliminations, new orders in the United States were $6,833,000
compared to $7,629,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2002.
New orders in the United Kingdom were $2,276,000 compared to
$1,692,000 for the same quarter last year.
For the nine month period, new orders were $28,224,000 compared
to $37,700,000 for the comparable nine month period of the prior
year. Prior to intercompany eliminations, new orders in the United
States were $23,850,000 compared to $34,105,000 for the same period
last year and new orders in the United Kingdom were $5,421,000
compared to $4,304,000 in 2002.
In the United States, the decline in new orders is attributable
to over capacity in the petrochemical and chemical markets and
reduced capital spending by customers due to uncertain market
conditions. New orders in the United Kingdom have increased due to
the success in obtaining orders for certain offshore projects. The
increase in the foreign currency exchange rate used to convert to
U.S. dollars has also positively impacted the new order values.
Backlog of unfilled orders at December 31, 2002 is $27,003,000
compared to $29,965,000 at this time a year ago and $33,871,000 at
March 31, 2002. Prior to intercompany eliminations, current
backlog in the United States of $25,305,000 compares to $33,054,000
at March 31, 2002 and $27,721,000 at December 31, 2001. Current
backlog in the United Kingdom of $2,054,000 compares to $1,180,000
at March 31, 2002 and $2,613,000 at December 31, 2001. These
backlog amounts reflect the cancellation of an order for the
electric power generating industry that was previously suspended.
The cancellation of this order, which was received in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2002, reduced the backlog by $2,659,000.
New orders for fiscal year 2002 and backlog for fiscal years 2002
and 2003 have been restated to reflect this cancellation. Included
in backlog at December 31, 2002 and 2001 is $7,272,000 and
$6,847,000, respectively, of orders that have been suspended and
are with customers operating directly or indirectly in the
financially pressured electric power generating business and/or
whose financial condition has eroded. A substantial portion of the
suspended orders are protected with cancellation charges. The
current backlog, with the exception of the suspended orders, is
scheduled to be shipped during the next twelve months and
represents orders from traditional markets in the Company's
established product lines.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
- ----------------------------------------------------------
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates and equity prices which may adversely
impact its results of operations and financial position. The
assumptions applied in preparing quantitative disclosures regarding
interest rate, foreign exchange rate and equity price risk are
based upon volatility ranges experienced in relevant historical
periods, management's current knowledge of the business and market
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk (continued)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
place, and management's judgment of the probability of future
volatility based upon the historical trends and economic conditions
of the business.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through
its borrowing activities. Risk associated with interest rate
fluctuations on debt is managed by holding interest bearing debt to
the absolute minimum and assessing the risks and benefits for
incurring long-term debt. Based upon variable rate debt outstanding
at December 31, 2002 and 2001, a 1% change in interest rates would
impact annual interest expense by $19,000 and $7,000, respectively.
Over the past three years, Graham's international consolidated
sales exposure approximates 36% of annual sales. Operating in
world markets involves exposure to movements in currency exchange
rates. Currency movements can affect sales in several ways.
Foremost is the ability to competitively compete for orders against
competition having a relatively weaker currency. Business lost due
to this cannot be quantified. Secondly, cash can be adversely
impacted by the conversion of sales in foreign currency to local
currency. The substantial portion of Graham's sales are collected
in the local currencies. For the three and nine month periods
ended December 31, 2002, sales in foreign currencies were
consistent with the prior year at 1% and 2% of total sales,
respectively. At certain times, the Company may enter into forward
foreign exchange agreements to hedge its exposure against
unfavorable changes in foreign currency values on significant sales
contracts negotiated in foreign currencies.
Graham has limited exposure to foreign currency purchases.
During the three month periods ended December 31, 2002 and 2001,
purchases in foreign currencies were 5% and 7% of cost of goods
sold, respectively. For both the nine month periods ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, purchases in foreign currencies were 5%
of cost of goods sold. At certain times, forward foreign exchange
contracts may be utilized to limit currency exposure.
Foreign operations produced net income (loss) in the third
quarter of 2003 and 2002 of $71,000 and $121,000, respectively, and
$(87,000) and $230,000 for the nine month periods ended December
31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As currency exchange rates
change, translations of the income statements of our U.K. business
into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating
results. The Company does not hedge translation risks because cash
flows from U.K. operations are mostly reinvested in the U.K. A 10%
change in foreign exchange rates would have impacted the third
quarter results by approximately $7,000 and $12,000 in fiscal years
2003 and 2002, respectively, and year-to-date results of fiscal
years 2003 and 2002 by approximately $9,000 and $23,000,
respectively.
The Company has a Long-Term Incentive Plan which provides for
awards of share equivalent units (SEU) for outside directors based
upon the Company's performance. The outstanding SEU's are recorded
at fair market value thereby exposing the Company to equity price
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk (concluded)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
risk. Gains and losses recognized due to market price changes are
included in the quarterly results of operations. Based upon the
SEU's outstanding at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the respective
quarter end market price per share, a 50% to 75% change in the
respective quarter end market price of the Company's common stock
would positively or negatively impact the Company's third quarter
operating results by $71,000 to $106,000 for 2003 and $65,000 to
$98,000 for 2002. In the third quarters of 2003 and 2002, the
expense, net of a tax benefit, recorded due to the increase in the
stock price was not significant. Assuming required net income of
$500,000 to award SEU's is met and SEU's are granted to the seven
outside directors in accordance with the plan over the next five
years, based upon the December 31, 2002 market price of the
Company's stock of $8.73 per share, a 50% to 75% change in the
stock price would positively or negatively impact the Company's
operating results by $111,000 to $166,000 in 2004, $126,000 to
$188,000 in 2005, and $136,000 to $203,000 in 2006, $146,000 to
$218,000 in 2007 and $156,000 to $233,000 in 2008.
Critical Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------
The following discussion addresses the most critical
accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the
portrayal of the financial condition and results, and that require
judgment.
Revenue Recognition
- -------------------
Percentage-of-Completion - The Company recognizes revenue and
all related costs on contracts with a duration in excess of three
months and with revenues of $1,000,000 and greater using the
percentage-of-completion method. The percentage-of-completion is
determined by relating actual labor incurred to-date to
management's estimate of total labor to be incurred on each
contract. Contracts in progress are reviewed monthly, and sales
and earnings are adjusted in current accounting periods based on
revisions in contract value and estimated costs at completion.
Completed Contract - Contracts with values less than
$1,000,000 are accounted for on the completed contract method. The
Company recognizes revenue and all related costs on these contracts
upon substantial completion or shipment to the customer.
Substantial completion is consistently defined as at least 95%
complete with regard to direct labor hours. Customer acceptance is
generally required throughout the construction process and the
Company has no further obligations under the contract after the
revenue is recognized.
Use of Estimates - We have made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported
amounts of revenue and expenses in preparing our financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.
Forward Looking
- ---------------
Certain statements contained in this document, that are not
historical facts, constitute "Forward-Looking Statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Forward-looking statements, in general, predict, forecast,
indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements and
generally use words so indicative. The Company wishes to caution
the reader that numerous important factors which involve risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to economic, competitive,
governmental and technological factors affecting the Company's
operations, markets, products, services and prices, and other
factors discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, in the future, could affect the Company's
actual results and could cause its actual consolidated results to
differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company.
