NOTE 2 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - --------------------------------------------------------------------- In 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, "Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". This standard provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Additionally, the standard also requires prominent disclosures in the Company's financial statements about the method of accounting used for stock-based employee compensation, and the effect of the method used when reporting financial results. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company continues to measure compensation for such plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting, prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB), Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Compensation cost for share equivalent units is recorded based on the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the end of the period. 9 Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense has been recognized for the Company's stock option plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under those plans in accordance with the optional methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and net loss per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:
Three months ended June 30, 2003 2002 ---- ---- Net loss as reported $(658,000) $(456,000) Stock-based employee compensation cost net of related tax benefits (11,000) (1,000) --------- --------- Pro forma net loss $(669,000) $(457,000) ========= ========= Basic loss per share As reported $(.40) $(.27) Pro forma $(.41) $(.28) Diluted loss per share As reported $(.40) $(.27) Pro forma $(.41) $(.28)
For purposes of the disclosure above, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted- average assumptions used for grants in 2003 and 2002:
2003 2002 ---- ---- Expected life 5 years 5 years Volatility 50.06% 50.00% Risk-free interest rate 2.25% 2.81% Dividend yield 2.40% 2.35%
NOTE 3 - EARNINGS (LOSS) 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 10 basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is presented below:

This transaction was accounted for as a purchase. The shares were redeemed at the Impairment or Disposaloriginal issue price of Long Lived Assets." There was no effect$7.25, as compared to a market price at the time of the closing of $7.55. This transaction resulted in a $224,000 increase to treasury stock, a $204,000 reduction in notes receivable from officers and directors and cash payments to former officers. The cash payments approximate amounts previously paid 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.

notes. 1214 GRAHAM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS December 31, 2002June 30, 2003 Graham Corporation consists of two operating segments as determined by geographic areas (USA: Graham Corporation, UK: Graham Vacuum and Heat Transfer, Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Graham Precision Pumps, Ltd.). Certain statements contained in this document, including within this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, 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. Results of Operations - --------------------- Sales increased 16%Consolidated sales decreased 17% in the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal year 2003ending (FYE) March 31, 2004 compared to the same three month period one year ago. Sales from USA and UK operations for the current quarter (including intersegment sales) decreased 15% and 27%, respectively. The decreases are attributable to fewer shippable goods and, in addition, in the previous year. SalesUSA, fewer workable contracts qualifying 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 therepercentage-of- completion revenue recognition. Consolidated backlog on April 1, 2003 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 are26% less than last yearthe backlog at April 1, 2002 due to the declinefewer new orders booked in the economy and customer capital spending.FYE 2003.

UK cost of sales percentage was 84% compared to 81% in the prior year period and in the United Kingdom itas a percent of sales increased to 68% from 62% for the same period last year. The unfavorable percentages in the United States arelargely due to higher labora decrease in sales dollars greater than a proportionate decrease in manufacturing costs. USA manufacturing costs as a percent of sales increased due to lower sales, product specification complexities and less 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 significantlycost absorbed into inventory due 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.lower plant activity. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter were 8% higher2% less than SG&A expenses and for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. 15 Results of Operations (concluded) - --------------------- The elimination of postretirement medical benefits in FYE 2003 for all employees and former employees not retired and receiving medical benefits as of April 1, 2003 resulted in a curtailment gain of $522,000. This gain is reported as Other Income for the third quarter compared tocurrent quarter. Other Income for the samethree months ended June 30, 2002 was zero. Interest expense increased from $17,000 for the three month period in fiscal year 2002 but represented 21%to $37,000 in the current period. This increase is attributable to higher levels of sales compared to 22% last yearborrowings in both the USA and UK. Average borrowings during the first quarter of FYE 2004 and 2003 were $2,673,000 and $1,433,000, respectively. Borrowings in the USA were greater due to fewer advanced progress payments on new orders. Borrowings in the 16% increase in sales. For the nine month period, selling, general and administrative expensesUK 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. 13 Results of Operations (concluded) - ---------------------------------financing working capital needs. The effective income tax ratesrate for the thirdfirst quarter and nine month periodwas 29% compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2002 of fiscal year34%. The lower effective rate is due to the anticipated impact of the extra territorial income exclusion benefit from foreign shipments. The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 were 36% and 34%, respectively. The effective tax rateswas $658,000 or $.40 per diluted share. This compared to a net loss of $456,000 or $.27 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Liquidity and nineCapital Resources - ------------------------------- Consolidated cash flow from operations was negative $2,074,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 were 32% and 22%, respectively.June 30, 2003 as compared to a positive cash flow from operations of $3,447,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The lower tax ratesswing of $5,521,000 is substantially due to reduced cash collections of $6,079,000 in the prior year were attributable to the recognition of tax benefits associated with operating lossescurrent quarter. The unusually large cash collections in the United States. Financial Condition - ------------------- Working capitalfirst quarter 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 isFYE 2003 was due to a decreasesignificant project cancellation fees invoiced in accounts payable, accrued compensation and customer deposits. The decline in accounts receivable is attributable to the collectionfourth quarter 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,FYE 2002. Management expects that the cash flow from operations, investments, and lines of credit will provide sufficient resources to fund the fiscal year 20032004 cash requirements. The long-term debt to equity ratio was 3%remained constant at December 31, 2002 compared to 1% aton June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2002.2003. The total liabilities to assets ratio is currently 52%48% compared to 55%51% at March 31, 2002.2003. These ratios reflectare reflective of the continued stability and 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. 14financial condition.

New orders for fiscal year 2002 and backlog for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 have been restated to reflect this cancellation.

The current consolidated backlog, with the exception of the suspended orders,about $7,186,000, 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 15 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 carefully assessing the risks and benefits for incurring long-term debt. Based upon variable rate debt outstanding at December 31,June 30, 2003 and 2002, and 2001, a 1% change in interest rates would impact annual interest expense by $19,000$18,000 and $7,000,$10,000, 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 areis collected in the local currencies. ForIn the threefirst quarters of both 2004 and nine month periods ended December 31, 2002,2003, sales in foreign currencies were consistent with the prior year at 1% and 2% of total sales, respectively.sales. 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. 17 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk (concluded) - ---------------------------------------------------------- Graham has limited exposure to foreign currency purchases. During the three month periods ended December 31,June 30, 2003 and 2002, and 2001, purchases in foreign currencies were 5%7% and 7%8% 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 a net income (loss)loss of $298,000 and $13,000 in the thirdfirst quarter of 2003fiscal year 2004 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 2001,2003, 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 resultsU.K. reported net loss by approximately $7,000$30,000 and $12,000$1,000 in fiscal years 2003 and 2002, respectively, and year-to-date resultsthe first quarter of fiscal yearsyear 2004 and 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'sSEUs are recorded at fair market value thereby exposing the Company to equity price16 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'sSEUs outstanding at December 31,June 30, 2003 and 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 thirdfirst quarter operating results by $71,000 to $106,000 for 2003FYE 2004 and $65,000$74,000 to $98,000$111,000 for 2002.FYE 2003.

Assuming required net income of $500,000 to award SEU'sSEUs is met and SEU'sSEUs are granted to the seven outside directors in accordance with the plan over the next five years, based upon the December 31, 2002June 30, 2003 market price of the Company's stock of $8.73$8.60 per share, a 50% to 75% change in the stock price would positively or negatively impact the Company's operating results by $111,000$125,000 to $166,000 in 2004, $126,000 to $188,000$250,000 in 2005, and $136,000$143,000 to $203,000$285,000 in 2006, $146,000$156,000 to $218,000$312,000 in 2007, $170,000 to $339,000 in 2008 and $156,000$174,000 to $233,000$347,000 in 2008.2009. 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-completionpercentage-of- completion is determined by relating actual labor incurred to-dateto- date to management's estimate of total labor to be incurred on each contract. Contracts in progress are reviewed monthly, and18 Critical Accounting Policies (concluded) - ---------------------------- 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. 17 Forward Looking - --------------- Certain statements contained inGraham is beginning to see early signs of a potential global recovery for its core products.
