The company’s loss from continuing operations was $33.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2005, as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $7.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2004.

The company said revenues were up by $24.4 million, or 7.4%, compared to the year ended September 30, 2004. The improvement was due in part to a 5.9% increase in revenues in the Sports & Leisure segment, by foreign sales benefiting from favorable foreign exchange rates, and by a 12.1% increase in revenues at the company’s Aerospace segment.
The business of Fairchild consists of three segments: sports & leisure, aerospace, and real estate operations.
