Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 30, 2003, Moog Inc. (the Company) completed the acquisition of the
net assets of the Poly-Scientific division of Litton Systems, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corporation, for $158 million in cash.
Poly-Scientific is a manufacturer of motion control and data transmission
devices and its principal products are electrical and fiber optic slip rings,
brushless D.C. motors and electromechanical actuators. Poly-Scientific has
locations in Blacksburg, Virginia, Springfield, Pennsylvania and Murphy, North
Carolina. Based on information obtained by the Company in connection with its
evaluation of the acquisition, Poly-Scientific had sales of approximately $133
million and operating margins of 12.2% for its fiscal year ended December 31,
2002.

The net assets acquired primarily include receivables, inventories, property,
plant and equipment, and goodwill and other intangible assets, net of current
liabilities. The Company intends to continue to use the property, plant and
equipment in the business.



The nature and amount of consideration related to the acquisition were
determined by arms-length negotiations between representatives of the Company
and Litton Systems, Inc.

On September 16, 2003, the Company completed the sale of 2,012,500 shares of
Class A Common Stock. The net proceeds of approximately $72 million were used to
pay for a portion of the purchase price of Poly-Scientific. The balance of the
purchase price was funded with $65 million under the Company's Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement (Credit Facility) with a banking group and $21 million
under a new 18-month bank loan.

In connection with the acquisition of Poly-Scientific, on August 6, 2003, the
Company modified its Credit Facility to allow for the acquisition. The $390
million Credit Facility provides for $315 million under a revolving facility and
a $75 million term loan with interest at LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which
is currently 175 basis points. The Credit Facility expires on March 31, 2008 and
requires quarterly principal payments on the term loan of $3.75 million, which
commenced on June 30, 2003. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all
of the Company's U.S. assets.

Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 1, 2003, the Company issued a press release announcing the
acquisition of Poly-Scientific and updating its outlook for fiscal 2004. The
