Brockway Moran & Partners Recapitalizes Tri-Star Electronics.

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Brockway Moran & Partners, Inc., a Florida-based private equity firm, announced today that it has recapitalized Tri-Star Electronics International, Inc. ("Tri-Star Electronics" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer of electronic interconnect components and assemblies for commercial aerospace, defense electronics and industrial applications, in partnership with management, Mark J. Silk and Odyssey Investment Partners.

Headquartered in El Segundo, California, Tri-Star Electronics specializes in the manufacture of contacts which provide the physical connection between electronic components, as well as customized cable assemblies and connectors for in-flight entertainment systems and specialized niche in-cabin applications. The Company is the dominant independent manufacturer of MIL-Spec qualified contacts used in connectors and provides the broadest product offering in the industry. In addition, Tri-Star Electronics is a supplier to the leading manufacturers of in-flight entertainment systems whose equipment is used by commercial airlines throughout the world. Tri-Star Electronics operates three facilities located on the West Coast and in Europe and employs more than 400 people.

Michael E. Moran of Brockway Moran & Partners commented, "Tri-Star Electronics is a clear leader in the electronic interconnect market, supplying 90% of the world's leading aerospace, avionics and electronics OEMs, with products that are found on virtually every aircraft platform worldwide. We are excited about the excellent growth potential of the Company, driven by strong commercial aircraft build rates and robust demand by airlines for in-flight entertainment systems."

"We look forward to working with Brockway Moran & Partners," stated Terry G. Jarnigan of Tri-Star Electronics. "We have aggressive growth plans for the Company and believe that Brockway Moran & Partners' experience in the commercial and military aerospace industry will be valuable in our efforts going forward."

As part of the transaction, Odyssey Investment Partners, a New York-based private equity firm, will retain a portion of its ownership in the Company. Odyssey Investment Partners acquired Tri-Star Electronics in 2003 as part of Aviation Technologies, Inc., and subsequently separated Tri-Star Electronics into a standalone business to capitalize upon the Company's strengths and growth opportunities. William F. Hopkins of Odyssey Investment Partners said, "We are very pleased with the performance of Tri-Star Electronics over the past three years and look forward to its continued growth."

Mark Silk, former CEO of Integrated Aerospace, Inc., a Brockway Moran & Partners portfolio company from 1999 to 2004, has also invested in the transaction. Mr. Silk plans to utilize his experience in the aerospace and defense industry to assist Tri-Star Electronics' current management team.
