See notes to consolidated financial statements. 5 K & F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by K & F Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 2. Accounting Changes Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS No. 142 also requires that any recognized intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life not be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment in accordance with this Standard until its life is determined to no longer be indefinite. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, at which time amortization of goodwill ceased. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company completed its impairment analysis in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The analysis did not result in an impairment charge. The following table adjusts net income assuming the adoption of SFAS No. 142 at the beginning of the periods presented:

There was no change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002. Goodwill at September 30, 2002 allocated to the Company's segments, Aircraft Braking Systems and Engineered Fabrics, was $135,683,000 and $31,328,000, respectively. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. There was no impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows related to the adoption of this Standard. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133, as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. SFAS No. 133 defines new requirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships as well as ongoing effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings. As a requirement of its credit facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in 1997 to reduce the impact of potential increases in interest rates on the credit facility. This interest rate swap agreement is the only financial instrument of the Company that is required to be accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 133. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 resulted in a cumulative pre-tax reduction in other comprehensive income of $923,000 ($550,000 after tax) during the nine months ended September 30, 2001, related to the derivative designated in a cash flow-type hedge prior to adopting SFAS No. 133. This amount is being amortized into interest expense over three years which was the remaining life of the interest rate swap 7 K & F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) agreement at January 1, 2001. During the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the change in fair market value of this derivative instrument resulted in a non-cash charge of $294,000 and $2,605,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the change in fair market value of this derivative instrument resulted in a non-cash charge of $90,000 and $4,299,000, respectively. These amounts were recorded in interest expense as this derivative was not designated as a hedging instrument. The Company does not utilize derivatives for speculative purposes. 3. Receivables are summarized as follows:

11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION General The Company is a supplier to manufacturers and operators of commercial, general aviation and military aircraft. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 were adversely affected by the sluggish economy and the events of September 11, 2001. The Company believes the impact was to lower sales by approximately $7,000,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 continue to be adversely affected by the sluggish economy. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, workers compensation liabilities, pension and other postretirement benefits, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Inventory. Inventory is stated at average cost, not in excess of net realizable value. In accordance with industry practice, inventoried costs may contain amounts related to contracts with long production cycles, a portion of which will not be realized within one year. Reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventories are provided based on current assessments about future product demand and production requirements for the next twelve months. The Company evaluates the adequacy of these reserves quarterly. Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis. In evaluating the value and future benefits of long-lived assets, their carrying value is compared to management's estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived asset. Any necessary impairment charges are recorded when the Company does not believe the carrying value of the long-lived asset will be recoverable. Warranty. Estimated costs of product warranty are accrued when individual claims arise with respect to a product. When the Company becomes aware of such defects, the estimated costs of all potential warranty claims arising from such defects are fully accrued. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits. The determination of the Company's obligation and expense for pension and other postretirement benefits is dependant on the Company's selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and rates of increases in compensation and health care costs. Actual results 12 that differ from the Company's assumptions would affect the pension and postretirement obligations and future expense. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 totaled $251,979,000, reflecting a decrease of $16,111,000 compared with $268,090,000 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was principally due to lower commercial transport sales of wheels and brakes of $16,308,000, primarily on the Fokker FO-100, DC-9 and DC-10 programs. General aviation sales decreased $3,240,000 due to lower sales of wheels, brakes and fuel tanks on various aircraft. Military sales increased $3,437,000 due to higher sales of wheels and brakes on the B-1B and various other military aircraft, partially offset by lower sales of fuel tanks primarily on the F/A-18 program. Operating income decreased $5,178,000 to $70,630,000, or 28.0% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared with $75,808,000, or 28.3% of sales for the same period in the prior year. Operating margins decreased primarily due to the unfavorable overhead absorption effect relating to the lower sales. Partially offsetting this decrease was the elimination of $4,581,000 of goodwill amortization during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements), and lower research and development costs on various programs. Net interest expense decreased $6,875,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared with the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to lower non-cash interest expense of $4,209,000 (non-cash interest expense of $90,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared with non-cash interest expense of $4,299,000 for the same period in the prior year) relating to the change in the fair market value of the Company's interest rate swap in accordance with SFAS No. 133. Net interest expense also decreased due to a lower average debt balance. The Company's effective tax rate of 42.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state, local and foreign income taxes. The effective tax rate of 42.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state, local and foreign taxes. The decrease in the effective rate in 2002 over 2001 is primarily due to higher tax benefits derived from foreign sales. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002 totaled $93,210,000, reflecting an increase of $7,926,000 compared with $85,284,000 for the same period in the prior year. This increase was due to higher military sales of wheels and brakes of $6,370,000, primarily on the B-1B and various other military aircraft. Commercial transport sales increased $1,589,000 primarily due to higher sales of wheels and brakes on the Canadair Regional Jet and MD-80 programs. General Aviation sales were essentially even with the prior year. Operating income increased $7,113,000 to $30,787,000, or 33.0% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared with $23,674,000, or 27.8% of sales for the same period in the prior year. Operating margins increased primarily due to a favorable overhead absorption effect relating to the higher sales and the elimination of $1,527,000 of goodwill amortization during the three months ended September 30, 2002 due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements). Partially offsetting this increase was higher program investments. 13 Net interest expense decreased $3,046,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared with the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to lower non-cash interest expense of $2,311,000, (non-cash interest expense of $294,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared with non-cash interest expense of $2,605,000 for the same period in the prior year) relating to the change in the fair market value of the Company's interest rate swap in accordance with SFAS No. 133. Net interest expense also decreased due to a lower average debt balance. The Company's effective tax rate of 42.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state, local and foreign income taxes. The effective tax rate of 49.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state, local and foreign taxes. The decrease in the effective rate in 2002 over 2001 is primarily due to higher tax benefits derived from foreign sales. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company expects that its principal use of funds for the next several years will be to fund capital expenditures, to make investments in new airframes and to pay interest and principal on indebtedness. The Company's primary source of funds for conducting its business activities and servicing its indebtedness has been cash generated from operations and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2002, the Company had $44.1 million available to borrow under its $50 million revolving credit facility. Cash Flows During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, cash provided by operating activities amounted to $58,507,000 and reflected $79,576,000 of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), decreases in accounts receivable of $1,080,000 and increases in accounts payable of $1,127,000, partially offset by increases in inventory of $2,254,000, other current assets of $26,000, other working capital of $221,000, decreases in other current liabilities of $249,000, other long-term liabilities of $3,031,000, interest payments of $14,042,000 and tax payments of $3,453,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, cash provided by operating activities amounted to $57,701,000 and reflected $88,212,000 of EBITDA, decreases in accounts receivable of $5,920,000 and increases in long-term liabilities of $594,000, partially offset by increases in inventory of $3,597,000, other current assets of $1,142,000, decreases in accounts payable of $1,073,000, notes payable of $2,600,000, other current liabilities of $9,229,000, increases in other working capital of $270,000, interest payments of $17,045,000 and tax payments of $2,069,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net cash used in investing activities amounted to $8,921,000 due to $1,842,000 of capital expenditures and $7,079,000 of program participation payments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, net cash used in investing activities amounted to $12,770,000 due to $3,565,000 of capital expenditures and $9,205,000 of program participation payments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, net cash used by financing activities amounted to $47,625,000 and $45,125,000, respectively, each representing the repayment of indebtedness. Accounting Changes Effective January 1 ,2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS No. 142 also 14 requires that any recognized intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life not be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment in accordance with this Standard until its life is determined to no longer be indefinite. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, at which time amortization of goodwill ceased. At September 30, 2002, goodwill net of accumulated amortization was $167.0 million and goodwill amortization expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $1,527,000 and $4,581,000, respectively. Amortization of goodwill had been $6,108,000 per year prior to the adoption of this Standard. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company completed its impairment analysis in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The analysis did not result in an impairment charge. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. There was no impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows related to the adoption of this Standard. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133, as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. SFAS No. 133 defines new requirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships as well as ongoing effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings. As a requirement of its credit facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in 1997 to reduce the impact of potential increases in interest rates on the credit facility. This interest rate swap agreement is the only financial instrument of the Company that is required to be accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 133. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 resulted in a cumulative pre-tax reduction in other comprehensive income of $923,000 ($550,000 after tax) during the nine months ended September 30, 2001, related to the derivative designated in a cash flow-type hedge prior to adopting SFAS No. 133. This amount is being amortized into interest expense over three years which was the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreement at January 1, 2001. During the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the change in fair market value of this derivative instrument resulted in a non-cash charge of $294,000 and $2,605,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the change in fair market value of this derivative instrument resulted in a non-cash charge of $90,000 and $4,299,000, respectively. These amounts were recorded in interest expense as this derivative was not designated as a hedging instrument. The Company does not utilize derivatives for speculative purposes. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company had $238 million of total debt outstanding at September 30, 2002. Of this amount, $185 million is borrowed at a fixed rate of 9 1/4% and the balance is borrowed under the credit facility. The interest rate for borrowings under the credit facility varies with LIBOR or the prime rate at the Company's option. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce the impact of potential increases in interest rates. The interest rate swap agreement 15 effectively fixes the Company's borrowing rate at 6.6% on all outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, and expires on December 17, 2003. Therefore, the Company has effectively fixed the interest rate on all of its indebtedness at September 30, 2002. Given that all of the Company's borrowings are at fixed interest rates, a 10% change in rates would not have a significant impact on fair values, cash flows or earnings. The Company has no other derivative financial instruments. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days before the filing date of this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to their evaluation. 16 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
