NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of DRS
Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (DRS or the Company) have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The
Company has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the
consolidated financial statements included in its fiscal 2001 Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except for the
April 1, 2001 adoption of the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) Nos. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (see Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements), 141, "Business Combinations", and 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" (see Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements). In the opinion of management, the interim financial information
provided herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated
financial position as of September 30, 2001, the results of operations for the
three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, and cash flows
for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000. The results of
operations for the three- and six-months ended September 30, 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
For further information, these interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On September 28, 2001, DRS acquired certain assets and liabilities of the
Sensors and Electronic Systems (SES) business of The Boeing Company (Boeing)
(the Acquisition). The Company paid approximately $67.1 million in cash, subject
to adjustment, for the Acquisition. In addition to the purchase price, the
estimated costs related to the Acquisition, including professional fees, will be
approximately $4.0 million. SES, located in Anaheim, California, is a leading
provider of advanced electro-optical airborne and naval surveillance and
targeting systems, high-performance military infrared cooled sensor systems, and
infrared uncooled sensor products for military and commercial applications. This
acquisition broadens the Company's product lines and customer base of its
Electro-Optical Systems Group, particularly in those areas associated with naval
and air-based applications, and provides a strong complement to DRS' existing
products in ground-based Forward Looking Infrared technology. SES is now
operating as DRS Sensors & Targeting Systems, Inc., a unit of the Company's
Electro-Optical Systems Group. The SES assets acquired and liabilities assumed
have been included in our consolidated financial statements as of the date of
acquisition.
The Company is in the process of obtaining a third-party valuation of the assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed as well as performing its own internal
assessment, thus, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to adjustment.
In addition, in connection with the Acquisition the Company may incur costs
associated with exiting certain activities, including severance costs. It is
management's expectation that a certain amount of the purchase price will be
allocated to acquired identifiable intangible assets, with such assets requiring
amortization. As the the Company is unable to estimate the amount of acquired
identifiable intangibles at this time, the entire excess of purchase price over
the tangible net assets acquired has been included as a separate line item on
the balance sheet as of September 30, 2001. In addition, since the Acquisition
was completed at the end of the second quarter, there is no amortization expense
related to the Acquisition in the results of operations. The purchase price
allocation will be adjusted during in the second half of fiscal 2002.

DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The following unaudited pro forma financial information shows the results of
operations for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and
2000, as though the Acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2000. For purposes of
the pro forma financial information shown below, DRS' operating results for the
three- and six-month periods ended September 30, have been combined with SES'
calendar year operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended June
30. In addition to combining the historical results of operations of the
businesses, the pro forma calculations include adjustments for additional
interest expense on the debt associated with the Acquisition, and the provision
for income taxes for the increase in interest expense and the SES business
pre-tax earnings. As indicated above, the Company is in the process of obtaining
a third-party valuation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as
well as performing its own internal assessment, and as a result, is unable at
this time to estimate the amount of acquired intangibles, therefore, there is no
amortization expense included in the pro forma financial information shown
below. For each $1.0 million allocated to acquired identifiable intangible
assets, with an estimated ten year useful life, amortization expense would
increase by $100,000.

The unaudited pro forma financial information shown above is derived from
preliminary financial data, is presented for illustrative purposes only and is
not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been
achieved had the Acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated above or
of the results that may be obtained in the future.
In connection with the SES Acquisition, the Company entered into a $240 million
credit agreement with First Union National Bank, as the lead bank, consisting of
a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $140 million (Term Loan) and a
$100 million revolving line of credit (Line of Credit) (collectively referred to
as the Credit Facility). The maturity dates of the Term Loan and the Line of
Credit are September 30, 2008, and September 30, 2006, respectively. The Term
Loan requires quarterly principal payments beginning on December 31, 2001.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest based on LIBOR (London
Interbank Offered Rate), United States Prime Rate or United States Federal Funds
Rate. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the
Company. There are certain covenants and restrictions placed on the Company
under the Credit Facility, including a maximum total leverage ratio and a
minimum fixed charge ratio, a restriction on the payment of dividends on the
capital stock of the Company, a limitation on the issuance of additional debt
and certain other restrictions. The interest rates on the Company's outstanding
Term Loan and Line of Credit borrowings were approximately 5.9% and 5.7%,
respectively, at September 30, 2001.
The proceeds of the Credit Facility at the date of the SES Acquisition of $161
million were used to acquire SES and repay the balance of the debt outstanding
under DRS's previous credit facility with Mellon Bank, N.A. (the Mellon
Facility) in the amount of $88.5 million. At September 30, 2001, the $161
million outstanding under the Credit Facility consisted of a $140 million term
loan and a $21 million borrowing under the revolving line of credit. As of
September 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $51.0 million available
under the revolving line of credit, after satisfaction of its borrowing base
requirement and certain restrictions.

DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
On August 22, 2001, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of the
Electro-Mechanical Systems (EMS) business of Lockheed Martin for approximately
$4.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment. EMS, located in Largo, Florida,
produces systems and antenna for radar and other surveillance sensor systems.
The acquisition of EMS provides certain product synergies and vertical business
integration opportunities for DRS. EMS is now operating as DRS Surveillance
Support Systems, Inc. (SSS), a unit of the Company's Electronic Systems Group.
The Company is in the process of obtaining a third-party valuation of the assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed, thus the allocation of the purchase price
is subject to adjustment. The financial position and results of operations of
SSS were not significant to those of the Company as of the acquisition date or
for the period ended September 30, 2001.

General and administrative costs included in work-in-process were approximately
$17.5 million and $14.5 million at September 30, 2001 and March 31, 2001,
respectively. General and administrative expenses included in costs and expenses
amounted to approximately $21.5 million and $19.9 million for the three-month
periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and approximately $42.2
million and $36.7 million for the six-month periods then ended. Included in
those amounts are expenditures for internal research and development amounting
to approximately $2.5 million and $2.0 million for the fiscal quarters ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively and approximately $4.6 million and
$4.1 million, respectively, for the six-month periods then ended.
4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 141 and 142 (SFAS 141 and SFAS 142),
"Business Combinations" and "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets",
respectively. SFAS 141 replaces APB 16 and requires the use of the purchase
method for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. It also
provides guidance on purchase accounting related to the recognition of
intangible assets, noting that any purchase price allocated to an assembled
workforce may not be accounted for separately, and accounting for negative
goodwill. SFAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization
method to an impairment-only approach. Under SFAS 142, goodwill will be tested
annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill
might be impaired.
The Company elected to adopt the provisions of SFAS 141 and 142 as of April 1,
2001. The Company has identified its reporting units to be its operating
segments and has determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by
assigning assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible
assets, to those reporting units as of April 1, 2001. Upon adoption of SFAS 142,
amortization of goodwill recorded for business combinations consummated prior to
July 1, 2001 ceased, and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 that
did not meet the criteria for recognition apart from goodwill under SFAS 141
were reclassified to goodwill. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, the
Company was required to perform a transitional goodwill impairment assessment
within six months of adoption. The Company completed its transitional goodwill
impairment assessment in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 with no adjustment to
its April 1, 2001 goodwill. The annual impairment test will be performed in the
fourth quarter of each fiscal year, after completion of the Company's annual
operating plan.

7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Effective April 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133. This Statement requires
the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in
the consolidated balance sheet, and the periodic adjustment of those instruments
to fair value. The classification of gains and losses resulting from changes in
the fair values of derivatives is dependent on the intended use of the
derivative and its resultant designation.
The Company utilizes variable rate debt to maintain its operations and sustain
its growth. Such variable rate borrowings expose the Company to interest rate
risk and the related impact that changes in interest rates can have on the
Company's earnings and on its cash flows. In an effort to limit its interest
expense and cash flow exposure the Company entered into interest rate collar
agreements with notional amounts covering a limited amount of the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the Company's term loans. The following is a
summary of the Company's interest rate collar agreements in place as of
September 30, 2001 and March 31, 2001:
(IN THOUSANDS)
NOTIONAL AMOUNT
EFFECTIVE EXPIRATION ----------------------------------- VARIABLE RATE CEILING FLOOR
DATE DATE SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 MARCH 31, 2001 BASE RATE RATE

January 29, 2001 January 31, 2003 $10,000 $10,000 3 Month LIBOR 6.50% 5.05%
On April 1, 2001, in accordance with the provisions in SFAS 133, the Company
designated its interest rate collars as cash flow hedges and recorded the fair
value of the instruments on the balance sheet at that date, with a corresponding
adjustment to comprehensive earnings. Due to the nature and characteristics of
the Company's designated hedging instruments, all adjustments to the fair values
of such instruments will be adjusted via comprehensive earnings. The effect of
adopting SFAS 133 at April 1, 2001, and the amounts recorded related to its
derivative financial instruments as of and for the three- and six-month periods
ended September 30, 2001, were not material to the Company's consolidated
financial position and did not impact the Company's consolidated results of
operations or cash flows.
8. OPERATING SEGMENTS
DRS operates in three principal business segments on the basis of products and
services offered: the Electronic Systems Group (ESG), the Electro-Optical
Systems Group (EOSG), and the Flight Safety and Communications Group (FSCG). All
other operations are grouped in "Other." During the first quarter of fiscal
2002, the Company's operating subsidiary, DRS Photronics, Inc. (DRS Photronics)
was combined with DRS' Flight Safety and Communications Group for management
purposes, based primarily on operational synergies. DRS Photronics had
previously been managed as part of the Electro-Optical Systems Group. Prior-year
balances and results of operations disclosed herein have been restated to give
effect to this change.

10. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to various legal actions and claims arising in the
ordinary course of its business. In management's opinion, the Company has
adequate legal defenses for each of the actions and claims and believes that
their ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In April and May 1998, subpoenas were issued to the Company by the United States
Attorney for the Eastern District of New York seeking documents related to a
governmental investigation of certain equipment manufactured by DRS Photronics,
Inc. (DRS Photronics). These subpoenas were issued in connection with United
States v. Tress, a case involving a product substitution allegation against an
employee of DRS Photronics. On June 26, 1998, the complaint against the employee
was dismissed without prejudice. Although additional subpoenas were issued to
the Company on August 12, 1999 and May 10, 2000, to date, no claim has been made
against the Company or DRS Photronics. During the Government's investigation,
until October 29, 1999, DRS Photronics was unable to ship certain equipment
related to the case, resulting in delays in the Company's recognition of
revenues. On October 29, 1999, DRS Photronics received authorization to ship its
first boresight system since the start of the investigation.
The Company is presently involved in a dispute in arbitration with Spar
Aerospace Limited (Spar) with respect to the working capital adjustment, if any,
provided for in the purchase agreement between the Company and Spar dated as of
September 19, 1997, pursuant to which the Company acquired, through certain of
its subsidiaries, certain assets of Spar. The Company is also in a dispute with
Raytheon Company (Raytheon) with respect to the working capital adjustment (not
to exceed $7.0 million), if any, provided for in the purchase agreement between
the Company and Raytheon dated as of July 28, 1998, pursuant to which the
Company acquired, through certain subsidiaries, certain assets of Raytheon.
On October 3, 2001, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court of
the Eastern District of New York by Miltope Corporation, a corporation of the
State of Alabama, and IV Phoenix Group, Inc., a corporation of the State of New
York, against DRS Technologies, Inc., DRS Electronic Systems, Inc., and a number
of individual defendants, several of whom are employed by DRS Electronic
Systems. The complaint alleges, among other things, that DRS and /or the other
defendants infringed upon certain patents, misappropriated trade secrets and
breached a confidentiality agreement. Plaintiffs request monetary and equitable
relief. In its answer, DRS has denied the plaintiffs' allegations, which it
believes are without merit, and DRS intends to vigorously defend this action.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) of the consolidated
financial condition and results of operations of DRS Technologies, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (hereinafter, we, us, our, the Company or DRS) as of September 30,
2001 and for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes.
The following discussion and analysis contains certain forward-looking
statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking
statements in this report are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Persons reading this report
are cautioned that risks and uncertainties are inherent to forward-looking
statements. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from those
suggested by such forward-looking statements.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On September 28, 2001, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Sensors
and Electronic Systems (SES) business of The Boeing Company (Boeing)(the
Acquisition). We paid approximately $67.1 million in cash, subject to
adjustment, for the Acquisition. In addition to the purchase price, we have
estimated that costs related to the Acquisition, including professional fees,
will be approximately $4.0 million. SES, located in Anaheim, California, is a
leading provider of advanced electro-optical airborne and naval surveillance and
targeting systems, high-performance military infrared cooled sensor systems, and
infrared uncooled sensor products for military and commercial applications. This
acquisition broadens our product lines and customer base of our Electro-Optical
Systems Group, particularly in those areas associated with naval and air-based
applications, and provides a strong complement to our existing products in
ground-based Forward Looking Infrared technology. SES is now operating as DRS
Sensors & Targeting Systems, Inc., a unit of our Electro-Optical Systems Group.
The SES assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been included in our
consolidated financial statements as of the date of acquisition.
We are in the process of obtaining a third-party valuation of the assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed as well as performing our own internal
assessment, thus, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to adjustment.
In addition, in connection with the Acquisition, we may incur costs associated
with exiting certain activities, including severance costs. It is our
expectation that a certain amount of the purchase price will be allocated to
acquired identifiable intangible assets, with such assets requiring
amortization. As we are unable to estimate the amount of acquired identifiable
intangible assets at this time, the entire excess of purchase price over the
tangible net assets acquired has been included as a separate line item on the
balance sheet as of September 30, 2001. In addition, since the Acquisition was
completed at the end of the quarter and we are unable to estimate the ultimate
amount of acquired intangibles at this time, there is no amortization expense
related to this acquisition in the results of operations. This allocation will
be adjusted during the second half of fiscal 2002.
On August 22, 2001, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of the
Electro-Mechanical Systems (EMS) business of Lockheed Martin for approximately
$4.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment. EMS, located in Largo, Florida,
produces systems and antenna for radar and other surveillance sensor systems.
The acquisition of EMS provides certain product synergies and vertical business
integration opportunities for us. EMS is now operating as DRS Surveillance
Support Systems, Inc., a unit of our Electronic Systems Group. The financial
position and results of operations of SSS were not significant to those of DRS
as of the acquisition date or for the period ended September 30, 2001.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 141 and 142 (SFAS 141 and SFAS 142),
"Business Combinations" and "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
respectively. SFAS 141 replaces APB 16 and requires the use of the purchase
method for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. It also
provides guidance on purchase accounting related to the recognition of
intangible assets, noting that any purchase price allocated to an assembled
workforce may not be accounted for separately, and accounting for negative
goodwill. SFAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization
method to an impairment-only approach. Under SFAS 142, goodwill will be tested
annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill
might be impaired.
13
DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
We elected to adopt the provisions of SFAS 141 and 142 as of April 1, 2001. We
have identified our reporting units to be our operating segments and we have
determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning assets and
liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those
reporting units as of April 1, 2001. Upon adoption of SFAS 142, amortization of
goodwill recorded for business combinations consummated prior to July 1, 2001
ceased, and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 that did not meet
the criteria for recognition apart from goodwill under SFAS 141 were
reclassified to goodwill. The Company completed its transitional goodwill
impairment assessment in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 with no adjustment to
its April 1, 2001 goodwill necessary. The annual impairment test will be
performed in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, after completion of the
Company's annual operating plan.
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121 but
retains its fundamental provisions for the (a) recognition / measurement of
impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 also supersedes the
accounting / reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30 for segments of a
business to be disposed of but retains the requirement to report discontinued
operations separately from continuing operations and extends that reporting to a
component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held
for sale. SFAS 144 is effective for us on April 1, 2002. We are currently
evaluating the impact of this new standard.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our operating cycle is long-term and involves various types of production
contracts and varying production delivery schedules. Accordingly, results of a
particular quarter or year-to-date period may not be indicative of future
operating results. The following comparative analysis should be viewed in this
context.
CONSOLIDATED SUMMARY
Consolidated revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30,
2001 increased approximately $9.0 million and $17.8 million, respectively, as
compared with the corresponding prior-year periods. The increase in revenues in
the second quarter of fiscal 2002 was driven by increased shipments of combat
display workstations and the continued growth of our second generation infrared
sighting and targeting systems programs. The revenue increase in the
year-to-date period ended September 30, 2001 was also favorably impacted by the
growth of our second generation infrared sighting and targeting systems
programs, as well as the impact of the inclusion of six months of revenues
generated by DRS Communications Company, which we acquired at the end of the
first quarter of fiscal 2001. Partially offsetting the revenue increases in both
the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2001 were decreases in
mission data recording systems. Operating income increased approximately 26% and
30% to $10.7 million and $20.4 million, respectively from the same three- and
six-month periods in fiscal 2001. The increases in operating income were due
primarily to the overall increases in revenues and the positive impact of our
fiscal 2002 first quarter adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 (see Note 4 of Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). In accordance with the
provisions of these standards, we ceased amortizing goodwill effective April 1,
2001. The adoption of SFAS 141 and 142 contributed approximately $1.2 million
and $2.5 million to the Company's fiscal 2002 second quarter and year-to-date
operating income, respectively. Had these standards been effective in the prior
year, our operating income, for the three- and six-month periods ended September
30, 2000, would have been $1.4 million higher and $2.7 million higher,
respectively. Partially offsetting the increases in operating income were the
impact of certain charges at our operating segments. See discussion of operating
segments below for additional information. Also impacting the overall increases
in revenues and operating income was the inclusion of the operating results of
our fiscal 2002 second quarter acquisition of DRS Surveillance Support Systems,
Inc.
14
DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Interest and related expenses decreased approximately $1.7 and $2.7 million for
the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2001 as compared with the
corresponding prior-year periods. These decreases were primarily the result of
46% and 47% decreases in average working capital borrowings outstanding during
the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively, as
compared with the corresponding prior-year periods, the favorable impact of the
conversion of all of our 9% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures during
the second half of fiscal 2001, and an overall decrease in weighted average
interest rates in fiscal 2002, as compared with fiscal 2001.
The provision for income taxes for the quarter- and year-to-date periods ended
September 30, 2001 reflects an annual estimated effective income tax rate of
approximately 47%, as compared with 52% and 51%, respectively, in the comparable
prior year periods of fiscal 2001. The decrease in our effective tax rate is
primarily due to the adoption of SFAS 142. It is anticipated that the Company's
effective tax rate may also decline moderately in future years as the Company
continues to grow.
Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2001 were $13.4 million
and $25.7 million, respectively, increases of approximately 7% and 9% over the
corresponding prior year periods, respectively.
OPERATING SEGMENTS
We operate in three principal business segments on the basis of products and
services offered: the Electronic Systems Group (ESG), the Electro-Optical
Systems Group (EOSG), and the Flight Safety and Communications Group (FSCG). All
other operations are grouped in "Other."
During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, one of our operating subsidiaries, DRS
Photronics, Inc., (DRS Photronics) was combined with DRS' Flight Safety and
Communications Group for management purposes based primarily on operational
synergies. DRS Photronics had previously been managed as part of the
Electro-Optical Systems Group. Prior-year balances and results of operations
disclosed in this MD&A have been restated to give effect to this change.
ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS GROUP
Our Electronic Systems Group is a leader in the development, production and
support of high-performance combat display workstations used by the U.S. Navy.
In addition, we supply the military and intelligence communities with signal
processing systems and computer systems adapted, or "ruggedized," for harsh
environments. By incorporating advanced commercial computing technology, we
provide rapidly fielded and cost-effective system solutions to enhance the
military's ability to attain information dominance in land, sea and air
applications. Our systems are used by the U.S. Navy and other military and
intelligence communities and are deployed on a number of front-line platforms,
including DDG-51 Aegis destroyers and cruisers, aircraft carriers, submarines
and surveillance aircraft. Our family of rugged computer products is also used
in the U.S. Army's ongoing battlefield digitization program.
ELECTRO-OPTICAL SYSTEMS GROUP
We are a leading provider of sophisticated thermal imaging and targeting
systems. Our Electro-Optical Systems Group is one of only two key suppliers to
the U.S. government for advanced focal plane array technology. We design,
manufacture and market thermal imaging systems that allow the operator to
detect, identify and target objects based upon their infrared signatures under
adverse conditions such as darkness, fog, smoke and dust. These systems are used
in the U.S. Army's battlefield platforms which include the M1A2 Abrams Main
Battle Tank, the M2A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the HMMWV scout vehicle and the
Javelin missile program. Moreover, we also design and manufacture eye-safe laser
range finders. In addition to military applications, we are leveraging our
technology base by expanding our products into related non-defense markets. For
example, we manufacture electro-optical modules for commercial devices used in
corrective laser eye surgery.
15
DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
FLIGHT SAFETY AND COMMUNICATIONS GROUP
Our Flight Safety and Communications Group supplies airborne deployable
recorders and surveillance and communications systems. We are the leading
manufacturer of deployable flight emergency, or "black box," voice and data
recording equipment for the U.S. and international militaries, as well as for
commercial customers. The recorder ejects automatically from an aircraft prior
to impact, minimizing the damage to the recorder and facilitating its recovery.
We have provided over 4,000 deployable recorders for military and search and
rescue aircraft. We also manufacture integrated naval ship communications
systems, information management systems, coastal border surveillance radar
systems, ultra high-speed digital imaging systems and multiple-platform weapons
calibration systems for diverse air platforms such as the AH-64 Apache attack
helicopter and the AC-130U gunship. In addition, we provide electronics
manufacturing services, often with value-added engineering content, to the
defense and space industries.
OTHER
"Other" includes the activities of DRS Corporate Headquarters and DRS Ahead
Technology. DRS Ahead Technology is a commercial operation that produces
magnetic head components used in the manufacturing process of computer disk
drives, which burnish and verify the quality of disk surfaces. DRS Ahead
Technology also services and manufactures magnetic video recording heads used in
broadcast television equipment.

DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS GROUP: Our Electronic Systems Group's revenues increased $7.4
and $4.0 million, or approximately 16% and 5%, for the three- and six-month
periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively, as compared with the
corresponding prior year periods. The increases in revenues were due primarily
to increased shipments of combat display workstations as well as approximately
$1.5 million of revenue contributed by DRS Surveillance Support Systems, Inc.,
which we acquired during the second quarter of this fiscal year. These increases
were partially offset by decreases in revenues from certain rugged computer
systems and peripherals. Operating income increased $464,000 and $2.8 million
for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2001, as compared
with the respective fiscal 2001 periods. The increase in second quarter
operating income was due to the favorable impact of the elimination of
approximately $448,000 in goodwill amortization, offset in part by unfavorable
operating margins in the group's U.K. operations. The increase in operating
income during the first half of fiscal 2002, as compared with the corresponding
prior year period, was primarily driven by the increase in revenues, operating
margin improvements due to a change in product mix, as well as the elimination
of goodwill amortization, which contributed approximately $896,000 in operating
income in the six-month period ended September 30, 2001. Had SFAS 142 been
effective in the prior year, operating income would have been $482,000 higher
and $969,000 higher for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30,
2000, respectively.
ELECTRO-OPTICAL SYSTEMS GROUP: Our Electro-Optical Systems Group's revenues and
operating income increased $3.5 million and $109,000, or approximately 9% and
2%, respectively, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, as
compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase in revenues was
driven by growth in our second generation infrared targeting and imaging systems
programs and shipments of certain commercial electro-optical products. The
slight increase in operating income resulted from the elimination of goodwill
amortization, which contributed approximately $434,000 to the EOSG operating
segment in the three-month period ended September 30, 2001. Had SFAS 142 been
effective in the prior year, operating income would have been $566,000 higher
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000. Excluding the benefit of
eliminating goodwill amortization, operating income would have been down
slightly over the corresponding period in the prior year. Driving the slight
decrease in fiscal 2002 operating income and operating margins was the fact that
EOSG's operating income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000
included a favorable program adjustment of $1.1 million to reflect the
realization of management's reductions in overall production costs on certain
long-term production programs.
Revenues and operating income increased $9.7 million and $717,000, or
approximately 13% and 8%, respectively, for the six-month period ended September
30, 2001, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase in
revenues is attributed to the continued growth on our second generation
electro-optical targeting and imaging systems offset, in part, by decreased
shipments of certain commercial electro-optical products during the first
quarter. The elimination of goodwill amortization contributed approximately
$888,000 to the EOSG operating segment in the six-month period ended September
30, 2001. Had this standard been effective in the prior year, operating income
would have been $1.1 million higher for the six-month period ended September 30,
2000. Excluding the benefit of eliminating goodwill amortization, operating
income in the first half of the current fiscal year would have been relatively
flat due to the $1.1 million program adjustment discussed above as well as the
impact of a fiscal 2002 first quarter charge of $650,000 for a certain
commercial product line.
FLIGHT SAFETY AND COMMUNICATIONS GROUP: Our Flight Safety and Communications
Group's revenues decreased $1.6 million, or approximately 7%, for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2001, as compared with the corresponding
prior year period. Increased volume in the group's contract manufacturing
business, as well as increased shipments of deployable flight incident recorders
(DFIRS) and ultra high-speed cameras were more than off-set by decreased
shipments of communications data links and airborne separation video systems.
Operating income increased $2.3 million for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2001, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The
increase in operating income is a result of overall higher operating margins, as
compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily for DFIRS, ultra-high
speed cameras, certain avionic equipment and contract

manufacturing. The elimination of goodwill amortization contributed
approximately $348,000 in operating income to the FSCG operating segment in the
three-month period ended September 30, 2001. Had SFAS 142 been effective in the
prior year, operating income would have been $364,000 higher for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2000. The three-month period ended September 30, 2000
also included a charge of approximately $1.4 million for additional costs
associated with the development of a certain mission data recording system.
Revenue increased approximately $4.5 million for the six-month period ended
September 30, 2001, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The
increase in revenues was primarily driven by our acquisition of DRS
Communications Company in the latter part of the first quarter of fiscal 2001.
Excluding the results of DRS Communications Company, FSCG's revenues decreased
$1.7 million, or 6%. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in shipments of
certain products as discussed above. Operating income increased approximately
$2.2 million for the six-month period ended September 30, 2001, as compared to
the corresponding prior year period. The primary drivers behind the increase in
operating income are the same as those indicated above for the second quarter of
fiscal 2002, off-set in part by a fiscal 2002 first quarter charge of $765,000
associated with shutting down FSCG's Santa Clara, California production and
engineering facility. The elimination of goodwill amortization contributed
approximately $700,000 in operating income to the FSCG operating segment in the
six-month period ended September 30, 2001. Had this standard been effective in
the prior year, operating income would have been $628,000 higher for the
six-month period ended September 30, 2000.
OTHER: Revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2001
decreased 15% and 7%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year
periods. Operating loss increased by approximately $654,000 and $936,000 in the
three- and six-months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, as compared with
the prior year periods. The decrease in revenue and increase in the operating
loss was primarily due to the continued soft demand in the disk drive
marketplace.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
CASH AND CASH FLOW
The following table provides cash flow data for the Company for the six-month
periods ended September 30, 2001and 2000:
(IN THOUSANDS)
SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
---------------------------------
2001 2000
------------- -------------
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 3,853 $ 13,442
Net cash used in investing activities $ (79,340) $ (12,030)
Net cash provided by financing activities $ 76,350 $ 3,123
Operating cash flow for the six-month period ended September 30, 2001 decreased
by approximately $9.6 million as compared with the corresponding prior-year
period. Increases in earnings (net of adjustments for non-cash items),
receivable collections and customer advances were more than offset by increases
in inventories and other current assets and a decrease in certain current
liabilities.
Cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended September 30,
2001 consisted of payments made to acquire SES and EMS of $67.1 million and $4.0
million, respectively. The remaining uses were comprised of capital
expenditures.
18
DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
In connection with the SES Acquisition, we entered into a $240 million
credit agreement with First Union National Bank, as the lead bank, consisting of
a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $140 million (Term Loan) and a
$100 million revolving line of credit (Line of Credit) (collectively referred to
as the Credit Facility). The maturity dates of the Term Loan and the Line of
Credit are September 30, 2008, and September 30, 2006, respectively. The Term
Loan requires quarterly principal payments beginning on December 31, 2001.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest based on LIBOR (London
Interbank Offered Rate), United States Prime Rate or United States Federal Funds
Rate. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the
Company. There are certain covenants and restrictions placed on us
under the Credit Facility, including a maximum total leverage ratio and a
minimum fixed charge ratio, a restriction on the payment of dividends on the
capital stock of the Company, a limitation on the issuance of additional debt
and certain other restrictions. The interest rates on our outstanding
Term Loan and Line of Credit borrowings were approximately 5.9% and 5.7%,
respectively, at September 30, 2001.
The proceeds of the Credit Facility at the date of the SES Acquisition of $161
million were used to acquire SES and repay the balance of the debt outstanding
under DRS's previous credit facility with Mellon Bank, N.A. (the Mellon
Facility) in the amount of $88.5 million. At September 30, 2001, the $161
million outstanding under the Credit Facility consisted of a $140 million term
loan and a $21 million borrowing under the revolving line of credit. As of
September 30, 2001, we had approximately $51.0 million available under the
revolving line of credit, after satisfaction of our borrowing base requirement
and certain restrictions.
Under the Mellon Facility, we paid approximately $1.8 million in principal
payments against our two term loans, borrowed approximately $48.6 million under
the revolving line of credit and repaid approximately $40.4 million. The
borrowings under our revolving line of credit were used to meet temporary
working capital requirements and to pay for the acquisition of EMS.
We actively seek to finance our business in a manner that preserves financial
flexibility, while minimizing borrowing costs to the extent practicable. We
continually review the changing financial, market and economic conditions to
manage the types, amounts and maturities of our indebtedness. Cash and cash
equivalents, internally generated cash flow from operations and other available
financing resources are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated operating,
capital expenditure and debt service requirements during the next twelve months
and the foreseeable future.
BACKLOG
Backlog at September 30, 2001 was approximately $569.2 million, including $75.5
million and $13.1 million from the acquisitions of SES and EMS, respectively.
The backlog at March 31, 2001 was $456.5 million. We booked approximately $244.9
million in new orders in the first six months of fiscal 2002.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are party to various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course
of our business. In our opinion, we have adequate legal defenses for each of the
actions and claims, and we believe that their ultimate disposition will not have
a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In April and May 1998, subpoenas were issued to us by the United States Attorney
for the Eastern District of New York seeking documents related to a governmental
investigation of certain equipment manufactured by DRS Photronics, Inc. (DRS
Photronics). These subpoenas were issued in connection with United States v.
Tress, a case involving a product substitution allegation against an employee of
DRS Photronics. On June 26, 1998, the complaint against the employee was
dismissed without prejudice. Although additional subpoenas were issued to us on
August 12, 1999 and May 10, 2000, to date, no claim has been made against us or
DRS Photronics. During the Government's investigation, until October 29, 1999,
DRS Photronics was unable to ship certain equipment related to the case,
resulting in delays in our recognition of revenues. On October 29, 1999, DRS
Photronics received authorization to ship such its first boresight system since
the start of the investigation.
We are currently involved in a dispute in arbitration with Spar Aerospace
Limited (Spar) with respect to the working capital adjustment, if any, provided
for in the purchase agreement between us and Spar dated as of September 19,
1997, pursuant to which we acquired, through certain of our subsidiaries,
certain assets of Spar. We are also in a dispute with Raytheon Company
(Raytheon) with respect to the working capital adjustment, if any, provided for
in the purchase agreement between us and Raytheon dated as of July 28, 1998,
pursuant to which we acquired, through certain subsidiaries, certain assets of
Raytheon.
On October 3, 2001, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court of
the Eastern District of New York by Miltope Corporation, a corporation of the
State of Alabama, and IV Phoenix Group, Inc., a corporation of the State of New
York, against DRS Technologies, Inc., DRS Electronic Systems, Inc., and a number
of individual defendants, several of whom are employed by DRS Electronic
Systems. The complaint alleges, among other things, that we and /or the other
defendants infringed upon certain patents, misappropriated trade secrets and
breached a confidentiality agreement. Plaintiffs request monetary and equitable
relief. In our answer, we have denied the plaintiffs' allegations, which we
believe are without merit, and we intend to vigorously defend this action.
