NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010

(Unaudited)


1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The December 31, 2010 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the previously audited consolidated balance sheet of Kaman Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). In the opinion of management, the remainder of the condensed financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this report. Certain amounts in the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current presentation. The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the entire year.

The Company has a calendar year-end; however, its first three fiscal quarters follow a 13-week convention, with each quarter ending on a Friday. The second quarter for 2011 and 2010 ended on July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010, respectively.


2.	RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ('"FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity and requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments are effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance requires changes in presentation only and will have no significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (ASC Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” ASU No. 2011-04 amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. The changes are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.


3.	ADDITIONAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Cash payments for interest were $5.4 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, respectively. Cash payments for income taxes, net of refunds, for the same periods were $10.4 million and $13.3 million, respectively.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

For the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2011

(Unaudited)


4.	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET (CONTINUED)

Accounts receivable, net includes amounts for matters such as contract changes, negotiated settlements and claims for unanticipated contract costs, which totaled $0.2 million and $0.5 million at July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company records revenue associated with these matters only when recovery can be estimated reliably and realization is probable.


5.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:


•	Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


•	Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.


•	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The table below segregates all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine their fair value at the measurement date (in thousands):



	Total Carrying Value at July 1, 2011		Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Derivative instruments	$	3,734	$	—	$	3,734	$	—

(Unaudited)


5.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

The Company’s derivative instruments are limited to foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates and our counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy and have been included in other current assets, other assets and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Based on the continued ability to trade and enter into forward contracts and interest rate swaps, we consider the markets for our derivative instruments to be active.

The Company evaluated the credit risk associated with the counterparties to these derivative instruments and determined that, as of July 1, 2011, such credit risks have not had an adverse impact on the fair value of these instruments.

6. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including market risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income are subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

The Company’s Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Term Loan”) contains floating rate obligations and is subject to interest rate fluctuations. During 2009, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for the purposes of hedging the eight quarterly variable-rate interest payments on its Term Loan due in 2010 and 2011. These interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. They are intended to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings and minimize the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Company’s earnings and cash flows attributable to changes in LIBOR rates. The Company will include in earnings amounts currently included in accumulated other comprehensive income upon payment of its two remaining quarterly variable-rate interest payments.

The Company holds foreign exchange contracts designed to hedge forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies and to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the Company’s earnings and cash flows. Some of these contracts were designated as cash flow hedges. The Company will include in earnings amounts currently included in accumulated other comprehensive income upon recognition of cost of sales related to the underlying transaction.

The following table shows the fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments (in thousands):



		Fair Value

6.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges – continued

During the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011, the loss reclassified to earnings from other comprehensive income for derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. During the three months and six months ended July 2, 2010, the loss reclassified to earnings from other comprehensive income for derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Over the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify $0.3 million to earnings from other comprehensive income for derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.

During the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010, no amounts were recorded for the ineffective portion of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The following table shows the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments (in thousands):

Foreign exchange contracts	Other current assets / Other assets	3,734		12,613		9,816 / 36,516 Australian Dollars
Total		$	3,734	$	12,623

On February 12, 2009, the Company dedesignated the forward contract it had entered into to hedge $36.5 million (AUD) of its $39.5 million (AUD) future minimum required payments to the Commonwealth of Australia. Payments of $26.8 million (AUD), of the $36.5 million (AUD) hedged liability, were made through July 1, 2011. At July 1, 2011, the U.S. dollar value of the remaining $9.8 million (AUD) hedged liability was $10.6 million.

The following table shows the location and amount of the gain (loss) recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for derivatives not designated as hedge instruments (in thousands):

For the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011, the Company recorded expense of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, to other income related to the change in the value of the previously hedged $36.5 million (AUD) payable. For the three months and six months ended July 2, 2010, the Company recorded income of $2.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, to other expense related to the change in the value of the previously hedged $36.5 million (AUD) payable.

6.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Hedges of a Net Investment in Foreign Operations

The Company did not reclassify any amounts related to hedges of a net investment in foreign operations from other comprehensive income to earnings during the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 or July 2, 2010. Over the next twelve months, the Company does not expect to reclassify any amounts related to the Euro note from other comprehensive income to earnings.


7.	INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):



	July 1, 2011		December 31, 2010
Merchandise for resale	$	117,748	$	113,841
Contracts and other work in process	186,343		184,210
Finished goods	14,450		18,848
Total	$	318,541	$	316,899

Inventories include amounts associated with matters such as contract changes, negotiated settlements and claims for unanticipated contract costs, which totaled $9.9 million and $10.4 million at July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company records costs associated with these matters in inventory only when recovery can be estimated reliably and realization is probable.

K-MAX® inventory of $20.9 million and $23.7 million as of July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, is included in other work in process and finished goods. The decrease in this balance reflects inventory being used on our contract for the K-MAX® unmanned aircraft systems. Management believes that a significant portion of this K-MAX inventory will be sold after July 1, 2012, based upon the anticipation of supporting the fleet for the foreseeable future.

SH-2G(I), formerly SH-2G(A), inventory of $52.9 million and $53.7 million at July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, is included in contracts and other work in process inventory. Management believes that a significant portion of this inventory will be sold after July 1, 2012, based upon the time needed to market the aircraft and prepare them for sale.

Legal Matters

FMU-143

As reported previously, the Company is involved in various litigation concerning its prior FMU-143 program at the Aerospace segment’s Orlando facility (“Orlando Facility”). The suits involve (a) a civil action brought by the U.S. Government (“USG”) under the False Claims Act in federal district court in Orlando alleging that the Company knowingly substituted the wrong version of the bellows motor into some FMU-143 lots, for which the current damages claim is approximately $6 million and (b) various claims and counterclaims before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (the “Board”) concerning performance under the program, with the USG alleging that the Company owes the USG over $15 million and the Company claiming that the USG owes it over $8 million. A trial is set for October 2011 in the False Claims Act matter. A trial regarding determination of liability in the contract matter is scheduled for July 2012. At July 1, 2011, the Company had no amount accrued for these matters, as it believes that the likelihood of adverse outcomes to these items is remote.

Legal Matters - continued

Wichita Subpoena Matter

A grand jury subpoena has been issued out of the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas to Kaman Aerospace Corp., Aerostructures Division, in connection with a government investigation relating to record keeping associated with the manufacture of certain composite parts. Kaman Aerospace is cooperating with the government’s investigation and believes that it has fully complied with all legal obligations in connection with the manufacture of the parts in question. At July 1, 2011, the Company had no amount accrued for this matter, as it is unable to estimate the amount of cost, if any, that might be incurred in connection with the resolution of this matter at this time. The Company believes that the likelihood of an adverse outcome to this matter is remote.

Other Matters

Revenue Sharing Agreement with the Commonwealth of Australia

Pursuant to the terms of its revenue sharing agreement with the Commonwealth of Australia, the Company will share all proceeds from the resale of the SH-2G(I), formerly SH-2G(A), aircraft, spare parts, and equipment with the Commonwealth on a predetermined basis, and total payments of at least $39.5 million (AUD) must be made to the Commonwealth regardless of sales. Cumulative payments of $26.8 million (AUD) have been made through July 1, 2011. Additional payments of $6.4 million (AUD) each must be paid in March of 2012 and 2013 to the extent that cumulative payments have not yet reached $33.1 million (AUD) and $39.5 million (AUD) as of such dates, respectively.

To secure these payments, the Company has provided the Commonwealth with a $12.7 million (AUD) unconditional letter of credit as of July 1, 2011, which is being reduced as such payments are made. As of July 1, 2011, the U.S. dollar value of the remaining $12.7 million (AUD) required payment was $13.7 million, of which $6.8 million is due no later than March 2012. In late 2008, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange contracts that limit the foreign currency risks associated with these required payments. These contracts will enable the Company to purchase $9.8 million (AUD) for $6.3 million. See Note 6, Derivative Financial Instruments, for further discussion of these instruments.

Moosup

The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (“CTDEP”) has given the Company approval for reclassification of groundwater in the vicinity of the Moosup, CT facility consistent with the character of the area. This facility is currently being held for disposal. The Company has completed the process of connecting neighboring properties to public drinking water in accordance with such approval and in coordination with the CTDEP and local authorities. Site characterization of the environmental condition of the property, which began in 2008, is continuing and is expected to be completed by the end of 2011.

The total anticipated cost of the environmental remediation activities associated with the Moosup property is $4.2 million, all of which has been accrued. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $2.0 million. A portion ($0.4 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other accruals and payables and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. The remaining balance of the accrual reflects the total anticipated cost of completing these environmental remediation activities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

New Hartford

In connection with the sale of the Music segment in 2007, the Company assumed responsibility for meeting certain requirements of the Connecticut Transfer Act (the “Transfer Act”) that applied to the transfer of the New Hartford, Connecticut, facility leased by that segment for guitar manufacturing purposes (“Ovation”). Under the Transfer Act, those responsibilities essentially consist of assessing the site's environmental conditions and remediating environmental impairments, if any, caused by Ovation's operations prior to the sale. The site is a multi-tenant industrial park, in which Ovation and other unrelated entities lease space. The environmental assessment process, which began in 2008, is still in process.

Other Matters - Continued

New Hartford - continued

The Company's estimate of its portion of the cost to assess the environmental conditions and remediate this site is $2.2 million, unchanged from previously reported estimates, all of which has been accrued. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $0.5 million. A portion ($0.5 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other accruals and payables and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. The remaining balance of the accrual reflects the total anticipated cost of completing these environmental remediation activities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Bloomfield

In connection with the 2008 purchase of the portion of the Bloomfield campus that Kaman Aerospace Corporation had leased from NAVAIR, the Company assumed responsibility for environmental remediation at the facility as may be required under the Transfer Act and continues the effort to define the scope of the remediation that will be required by the CTDEP. The assumed environmental liability of $10.3 million was determined by taking the undiscounted estimated remediation liability of $20.8 million and discounting it at a rate of 8%. This remediation process will take many years to complete. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $3.3 million. A portion ($1.4 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other accruals and payables and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

United Kingdom

In connection with the purchase of Kaman U.K. Composites (“U.K. Composites”), the Company accrued, at the time of acquisition, £1.6 million for environmental compliance at the facilities. The remaining balance of the accrual at July 1, 2011 was £1.0 million, with £0.4 million having been paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities and £0.2 million released to income. The U.S. dollar equivalent of the remaining environmental compliance liability as of July 1, 2011, is $1.7 million, which is included in other accruals and payables. The Company continues to assess the work that may be required, which may result in a change to this accrual. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

In December 2008, a workplace accident occurred at one of the Company’s U.K. Composites facilities in which one employee died and another was seriously injured. The local Health and Safety Executive initiated civil proceedings for alleged violations of U.K. health and safety laws and a hearing was held in March 2011. The Company was fined £0.1 million as a result of that hearing.

11. DEBT

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreements

On June 10, 2011, the Company amended its $275.0 million Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement and its Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement. These amendments allowed the Company to reduce the interest rate for these facilities to LIBOR plus 137.5 basis points compared to an interest rate of LIBOR plus 200.0 basis points prior to the amendments. In addition, the Company amended the required quarterly commitment fees on the unused revolving loan commitment amount from 0.35% to 0.50% per annum to 0.225% to 0.35% per annum, and the fees for outstanding letters of credit from 2.00% to 3.00% to 1.375% to 2.25%, based on the leverage ratio as defined in the agreements. These amendments did not result in any other changes to these facilities.

In November 2010, the Company issued Convertible Notes due on November 15, 2017 in the aggregate principal amount of $115.0 million. Shares issuable under the Convertible Notes that were dilutive during the period have been included in the calculation of earnings per share as the exercise price for the Convertible Notes was less than the average share price for the period. Excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 are 3,386,739 shares issuable under the warrants with a strike price of $44.40 sold in connection with the Company’s convertible note offering as they would be anti-dilutive.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of these financial statements. No material subsequent events were identified that required disclosure.


Item 2.	Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide readers of our consolidated financial statements with the perspectives of management. The MD&A presents in narrative form information regarding our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. This will allow our shareholders to obtain a comprehensive understanding of our businesses, strategies, current trends and future prospects. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in our 2010 Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS

Kaman Corporation is composed of two business segments:


•	Industrial Distribution, the third largest power transmission/motion control industrial distributor in North America.


•	Aerospace, a manufacturer and subcontractor in the commercial and military aerospace markets.

The following is a summary of our financial performance and a recap of key events:

Financial Performance


•	Net sales increased 21.4% and 28.5% for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011, respectively, compared to the comparable periods in the prior year.


•	Net earnings increased to $13.4 million and $27.0 million for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011, respectively, increases of $7.3 million and $19.2 million, respectively, compared to the comparable periods in the prior year.


•	Global Aerosystems, acquired in December 2010, was accretive to net earnings for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011.


•	Diluted net earnings per share increased to $0.50 and $1.02 for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011, respectively, increases of $0.27 and $0.72, respectively, compared to the comparable periods in the prior year.


•	Cash flows provided by operating activities were $6.1 million for the six months ended July 1, 2011, a decrease of $7.4 million when compared to the comparable period in the prior year.

Key Events


•	During the first quarter, we were awarded a $23.8 million order from the United States Air Force (“USAF”) under Option 8 of our Joint Programmable Fuze (“JPF”) program. During the second quarter, we were awarded an additional $23.7 million order from the USAF under Option 8 of our JPF program and a commercial JPF foreign military order of $3.1 million.

•

Through July 1, 2011, we have made cumulative payments of $26.8 million (AUD) to the Commonwealth of Australia in accordance with our settlement agreement related to the SH-2G(A) Helicopters. Of this amount, $23.9 million (AUD) was paid in the first six months of 2011, of which $23.8 million (AUD) was paid on March 14, 2011. At the exchange rate in effect on that date, the U.S. dollar value of the payment was $24.1 million; however, through the use of the Australian dollar foreign currency exchange contracts entered into in 2008 we were able to acquire the $23.8 million (AUD) for $15.5 million.


•	During the second quarter, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Agreement. The amendments, among other things, allowed us to reduce the interest rates on these facilities to LIBOR plus 137.5 basis points compared to an interest rate of LIBOR plus 200.0 basis points prior to the amendments.

Outlook

We continue to experience a solid recovery in Industrial Distribution with significant growth opportunities from our 2010 acquisitions. We anticipate growth in our Aerospace segment as we are aggressively pursuing a significant number of business development opportunities, and we continue to see recovery in orders for our bearing products, in line with our expectations.

For 2011, we are updating our guidance for Industrial Distribution anticipating operating margin to be 4.7% to 4.9%. Our updated 2011 outlook is as follows:

- Sales growth of 12.0% to 15.0%

- Operating margin between 4.7% and 4.9%


•	Aerospace:

- Sales growth of 13.0% to 16.0%

- Operating margin between 15.2% and 15.5%


•	Corporate expenses of approximately $43.0 million to $44.0 million for the year ⁽¹⁾


•	Interest expense of approximately $12.5 million


•	Estimated tax rate of 35.0%


•	Free cash flow in the range of $30.0 to $35.0 million

⁽¹⁾ The outlook for corporate expenses excludes the non-recurring benefit of $2.4 million recognized in the first quarter of 2011, resulting from the death of a former executive.

% change	21.4		%	8.1		%	28.5		%	1.1		%

The increases in net sales for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 versus the comparable periods in 2010 were attributable to an increase in sales at both our segments. Foreign currency exchange rates had a $2.2 million and $3.1 million favorable impact on sales during the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011, respectively. See segment discussion below for additional information.

Gross Profit

% of net sales	27.6		%	26.3		%	27.6		%	26.3		%

Gross profit increased for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 versus the comparable periods in 2010 primarily due to organic increases in gross profit at both our segments, and the contribution of gross profit from our 2010 acquisitions. The organic increase in gross profit in our Aerospace segment was due to increased gross profit on sales under our fuze programs, increased sales volume related to our bearing product lines for the commercial and regional / business jet markets and the absence of program related losses at our Aerospace Wichita facility. The organic increase in gross profit in our Industrial Distribution segment was primarily a result of higher sales volume compared to the prior year and higher gross margin rates despite increased pricing pressures from suppliers.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses (S,G&A)



	For the three months ended						For the six months ended
	July 1, 2011			July 2, 2010			July 1, 2011			July 2, 2010

% change	15.3		%	15.7		%	16.2		%	7.8		%
% of net sales	21.6		%	22.7		%	21.5		%	23.7		%

S,G&A increased for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 versus the comparable periods in 2010 due to increased expenses at both our segments, including $3.0 million and $11.5 million of expense related to our 2010 acquisitions for the three-month and six-month periods, respectively, and an increase in our Corporate expenses. The higher expense at our Industrial Distribution segment was attributable to the acquisitions and an increase in variable costs such as sales commissions and other employee related costs resulting from the higher sales volume. The increase in expense at our Aerospace segment was due to the additional expense resulting from the 2010 acquisition of Global Aerosystems and an increase in legal fees associated with the FMU-143 program litigation matters. The increase in our Corporate expenses was primarily due to increased incentive compensation expense and higher group health insurance expense, partially offset by lower acquisition related costs and, for the six-month period, a non-recurring benefit of $2.4 million associated with the death of a former executive.

Operating Income



	For the three months ended						For the six months ended
	July 1, 2011			July 2, 2010			July 1, 2011			July 2, 2010

% of net sales	6.0		%	3.5		%	6.1		%	2.6		%

The increase in operating income for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 versus the same periods in 2010 was primarily driven by increases in operating income at both our segments. See segment discussion below for additional information.

Interest Expense, Net

	(in thousands)
Interest Expense, net	$	2,821	$	2,337	$	5,891	$	4,391

Net interest expense generally consists of interest charged on the revolving credit facility and other borrowings, offset by interest income. The increases in net interest expense for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 versus the comparable periods in 2010 were primarily due to interest expense on our convertible notes and higher amortization of capitalized fees, offset by lower average borrowings during each period.

Effective Income Tax Rate

(a)Organic sales per sales day is a metric management uses to evaluate performance trends at its Industrial Distribution segment and is calculated by taking total organic sales for the quarter divided by the number of sales days during the quarter. An acquisition is included in organic sales beginning with the thirteenth month following the date of acquisition. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 increased versus the comparable periods in 2010 due to increases of 8.6% and 10.3%, respectively, in organic sales for each period and the incremental sales associated with the acquisitions completed in 2010. The growth in organic sales is due to increases in sales volume to both Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") and Maintenance, Repair and Operations ("MRO") customers and the impact of favorable foreign currency exchange rates for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 of $0.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Operating Income

Operating income increased for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 versus the comparable periods in 2010 primarily due to the increased sales volume and the resulting impact on our ability to leverage operating costs, higher rebate income and the contribution of operating income by our 2010 acquisitions. The increases were partially offset by an increase in variable costs such as sales commissions and other employee related costs resulting from the higher sales volume.

Backlog							$	535,746		$	460,667

Net sales increased for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 versus the comparable period in 2010 due to:


•	commercial sales to foreign militaries of the JPF fuze;


•	an increase in sales volume on bearings products in the commercial and business / regional jet markets;


•	the incremental contribution of sales from the acquisition of Global Aerosystems;


•	work on our portion of the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command contract for K-MAX® unmanned aircraft systems;


•	higher priced sales and an increase in volume on our JPF program to the United States Government (“USG”) under Option 6, which has a higher per fuze price than Option 5; and


•	increased sales volume related to tooling packages manufactured by our U.K. tooling facility.

Additionally, for the six months ended July 1, 2011 net sales increased due to increased sales volume on our other legacy fuze programs and initial deliveries on our Boeing A-10 program.

These increases were partially offset by:


•	reduced shipments under our Sikorsky BLACKHAWK helicopter cockpit program for the three months ended July 1, 2011;


•	lower volume on our helicopter after market programs, including the Egypt SH-2G(E) upgrade program, the K-MAX® fleet program and blade erosion coating programs; and


•	a decrease in offload volume at U.K. Composites.

Operating income increased for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2011 versus the comparable periods in 2010 due to:


•	higher gross profit generated by our bearings products resulting from the increased sales volume noted above;


•	contribution of gross profit from the K-MAX® unmanned aircraft systems;


•	gross profit generated from the increased sales on our fuze programs, including the impact of increased pricing on our USG JPF program beginning with Option 6;


•	the absence of program related losses at our Aerospace Wichita facility; and


•	operating income contributed by Global Aerosystems.

These increases were partially offset by decreased gross profit on our helicopter aftermarket programs due to decreased volume.

Major Programs/Product Lines

Below is a discussion of the significant changes in the Aerospace segment’s major programs during the first six months of 2011. Please see our 2010 Form 10-K for a discussion of our Aerospace segment’s programs.

FMU-152 – Joint Programmable Fuze (“JPF”)

We manufacture the JPF, an electro-mechanical bomb safe and arming device, which allows the settings of a weapon to be programmed in flight. During 2009 we entered into a contract modification with the USG for the award of Options 6, 7 and 8 under our multi-option JPF contract. During the first quarter, we were awarded a $23.8 million JPF order from the USAF for fuzes to be delivered in 2012 and 2013 under Option 8 of the program. During the second quarter, we were awarded an additional $23.7 million order from the USAF under Option 8 of our JPF program and a commercial JPF foreign military order of $3.1 million. Total JPF backlog at July 1, 2011 is $137.2 million.

A-10

In 2008, the segment signed a five-year requirements contract with Boeing for the production of wing control surfaces (inboard and outboard flaps, slats and deceleron assemblies) for the U.S. Air Force’s A-10 fleet. Initial deliveries under this program began in the third quarter of 2010; however, our customer's scheduling has changed and the timing of deliveries has shifted. We expect to deliver 10 ship sets in 2011, and full rate production for this program to begin in the fourth quarter of 2012, with an average of approximately 47 ship sets being delivered per year.

Other Matters

We continue to work with potential customers for the 11 SH-2G(I) aircraft, spare parts and equipment. Several foreign governments have expressed various levels of interest in the aircraft and we have received small orders for the spare parts and related equipment.

For a discussion of other matters related to our Aerospace segment see Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Discussion and Analysis of Cash Flows

We assess liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund working capital and investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting liquidity include: cash flows generated from or used by operating activities, capital expenditures, investments in our business segments and their programs, acquisitions, divestitures, dividends, adequacy of available bank lines of credit, and factors that might otherwise affect the company's business and operations generally, as described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 1A of Part I of our 2010 Form 10-K.

We continue to rely upon bank financing as an important source of liquidity for our business activities including acquisitions. We believe this, when combined with cash generated from operating activities, will be sufficient to support our anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we may decide to raise additional debt or equity capital to support other business activities including potential future acquisitions. We anticipate our capital expenditures will be approximately $30.0 to $35.0 million in 2011, primarily related to machinery and equipment and information technology infrastructure, including completion of an information technology back-up data center. We anticipate a variety of items, in addition to our working capital requirements, will have an impact on our liquidity during the next 12 months. These may include one or more of the matters described in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the FMU-143 litigation and continued legal costs associated with that matter, the revenue sharing arrangement with the Commonwealth of Australia, the cost of existing environmental remediation matters, required pension and Supplemental Employees’ Retirement Plan (“SERP”) contributions or the extension of payment terms by our customers. However, we do not believe any of these matters will lead to a shortage of capital resources or liquidity that would prevent us from continuing with our business operations as expected.

We regularly monitor credit market conditions to identify potential issues that may adversely affect, or provide opportunities for, the securing and/or pricing of additional financing, if any, that may be necessary to continue with our growth strategy and finance working capital requirements. This is evidenced by the replacement of our Revolving Credit Agreement and amendment of our Term Loan Agreement during the third quarter of 2010, our $115.0 million issuance of convertible notes in November 2010 and the repricing of the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreement in June 2011.

Management regularly monitors its pension plan asset performance and the assumptions used in the determination of our benefit obligation, comparing them to actual performance. We continue to believe the assumptions selected are valid due to the long-term nature of our benefit obligation.

Pursuant to the terms of the revenue sharing agreement with the Commonwealth of Australia, we will share all proceeds from the resale of the SH-2G(I), formerly SH-2G(A), aircraft, spare parts, and equipment with the Commonwealth on a predetermined basis. Total payments of at least $39.5 million (AUD) must be made to the Commonwealth regardless of sales. Cumulative payments of $26.8 million (AUD) have been made through July 1, 2011. Additional payments of $6.4 million (AUD) each must be paid in March of 2012 and 2013 to the extent that cumulative payments have not yet reached $33.1 million (AUD) and $39.5 million (AUD) as of such dates, respectively.

To secure these payments, we have provided the Commonwealth with a $12.7 million (AUD) unconditional letter of credit, which is being reduced as such payments are made. As of July 1, 2011, the U.S. dollar value of the remaining $12.7 million (AUD) required payment was $13.7 million, of which $6.8 million is due no later than March 2012. In late 2008, we entered into foreign currency exchange contracts that limit the foreign currency risks associated with these required payments. These contracts will enable us to purchase $9.8 million (AUD) for $6.3 million. See Note 6, Derivative Financial Instruments, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these instruments.

A summary of our consolidated cash flows is as follows:



	For the six months ended
	July 1, 2011			July 2, 2010			2011 vs. 2010
	(in thousands)
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	6,146		$	13,509		$	(7,363	)
Investing activities	(14,001		)	(56,723		)	42,722
Financing activities	(5,171		)	34,134			(39,305		)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(13,026	)	$	(9,080	)	$	(3,946	)
Free Cash Flow (a):
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	6,146		$	13,509		$	(7,363	)
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment	(12,530		)	(8,124		)	(4,406		)
Free cash flow	$	(6,384	)	$	5,385		$	(11,769	)

(a)Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less expenditures for property plant and equipment, both of which are presented on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $7.4 million for the six months ended July 1, 2011 versus the comparable period in 2010 primarily due to the settlement of our first guaranteed payment to the Commonwealth of Australia and the timing of payments made to our suppliers, offset by increased net earnings, driven by increased operating income at both our segments, and the receipt of cash from our counterparties upon settlement of our Australian dollar foreign currency exchange contracts.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $42.7 million for the six months ended July 1, 2011 versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to a decrease in cash used for acquisitions offset in part by an increase in cash used for the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $39.3 million for the six months ended July 1, 2011 versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to a decrease in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Financing Arrangements

We maintain a $275.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Agreement”) expiring September 20, 2014. The Revolving Credit Agreement includes an “accordion” feature that allows us to increase the aggregate amount available to $350.0 million, subject to additional commitments from lenders. The Revolving Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, letters of credit and other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. We also maintain a Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Term Loan Agreement”). The Term Loan Agreement, which is in addition to our current Revolving Credit Agreement, was a $42.5 million facility with a four-year term. Principal payments, which started in the third quarter of 2010, of $1.25 million are due quarterly, with $22.5 million of the initial aggregate principal payable in the final quarter of the Term Loan Agreement. We may increase the term loan by up to an aggregate of $50 million with additional commitments from the banks or new commitments from acceptable financial institutions.

On June 10, 2011, we amended our Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreement. These amendments reduced the interest rate for these facilities to LIBOR plus 137.5 basis points compared to an interest rate of LIBOR plus 200.0 basis points prior to the amendments. In addition, we amended the required quarterly commitment fees on the unused revolving loan commitment amount from 0.35% to 0.50% per annum to 0.225% to 0.35% per annum, and the fees for outstanding letters of credit from 2.00% to 3.00% to 1.375% to 2.25%, based on the leverage ratio as defined in the agreements. These amendments did not result in any other changes to these facilities.

Interest rates on amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement are variable. At July 1, 2011, the interest rate for the outstanding amounts on both the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreement was 1.56%. At December 31, 2010, the interest rate for the outstanding amounts on both the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreement was 2.39%.

During the first quarter of 2009, we entered into interest rate swap agreements for the purpose of hedging our eight quarterly variable-rate interest payments on the Term Loan Agreement due in 2010 and 2011. These interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. They are intended to manage interest rate risk associated with our variable-rate borrowings and minimize the impact on our earnings and cash flows of interest rate fluctuations attributable to changes in LIBOR rates. During the three months ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010 we recorded $0.2 million and $0.1 million of additional interest expense associated with the interest rate swap agreements. During the six months ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010 we recorded $0.4 million and $0.3 million of additional interest expense associated with the interest rate swap agreements.

The financial covenants associated with the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreement include a requirement that (i) the ratio of Consolidated Senior Secured Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, cannot be greater than 3.50 to 1.00, (ii) the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, cannot be greater than 4.00 to 1.00, and (iii) the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, to the sum of (a) all interest, premium payments, debt discounts, fees, charges and related expenses and (b) the portion of rent expense under capital leases that is treated as interest expense cannot be less than 4.00 to 1.00. We were in compliance with those financial covenants as of and for the quarter ended July 1, 2011, and we do not anticipate noncompliance in the foreseeable future.

Total average bank borrowings during the quarter ended July 1, 2011 were $48.5 million compared to $98.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. As of July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was $256.1 million and $228.2 million available for borrowing, respectively, under the Revolving Credit Agreement, net of letters of credit. Letters of credit are generally considered borrowings for purposes of the Revolving Credit Agreement. A total of $18.9 million and $43.2 million in letters of credit was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $13.7 million and $37.5 million of our letters of credit, respectively, related to the guaranteed minimum payments to Australia in connection with the ownership transfer of the 11 SH-2G(A) helicopters (along with spare parts and associated equipment). The letter of credit balance will continue to be reduced as payments are made to Australia.

Other Sources/Uses of Capital

We have contributed $19.6 million to the qualified pension plan and and expect to contribute $4.7 million to the SERP for the 2011 plan year. Of these amounts $9.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively, had been contributed as of July 1, 2011. The remaining $9.8 million of the $19.6 million contribution to the qualified pension plan was contributed in July 2011. We do not expect to make any further contributions to the qualified pension plan during 2011. For the 2010 plan year, we contributed $35.7 million to the qualified pension plan, $25.0 million of which was voluntary, and $3.4 million to the SERP.

In November 2000, our Board of Directors approved a replenishment of our stock repurchase program, providing for repurchase of an aggregate of 1.4 million common shares for use in administration of our stock plans and for general corporate purposes. There were no shares repurchased during the first six months of 2010 or 2011 under this program. At July 1, 2011, approximately 1.1 million shares were authorized for repurchase under this program.

On June 26, 2009, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This shelf registration statement allows us to offer, issue or sell from time to time, together or separately, (i) senior or subordinated debt securities, which may be convertible into shares of our common stock, preferred stock or other securities; (ii) shares of our common stock; (iii) shares of our preferred stock, which we may issue in one or more series; or (iv) warrants to purchase our equity or debt securities or other securities. The total offering price of the securities will not exceed $200 million in the aggregate. The shelf registration became effective on August 3, 2009. We do not currently have any commitments or intentions to sell securities. Future offerings, if any, will be made only by means of a written prospectus or other permitted documents. At that time, we will file a prospectus supplement with the SEC outlining the type of securities, amounts, prices, use of proceeds and other terms.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures used in this report on Form 10-Q provide investors with important perspectives into our ongoing business performance. We do not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. We define the non-GAAP measures used in this report as follows:

Organic Sales per Sales Day

Organic sales per sales day is defined as GAAP “Net sales from the Industrial Distribution segment” less sales derived from Industrial Distribution segment acquisitions completed during the preceding twelve months divided by the number of sales days in a given period. Sales days are the number of business days that the Industrial Distribution segment’s branch locations were open for business and exclude weekends and holidays. Management believes sales per sales day provides investors with an important perspective on how net sales may be impacted by the number of days the segment is open for business. Management uses sales per sales day as a measurement to compare periods in which the numbers of sales days differ.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is defined as GAAP “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” less “Expenditures for property, plant and equipment.” Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for dividends to shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long-term value creation. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. Management uses free cash flow internally to assess both business performance and overall liquidity.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements during the first six months of 2011. Please see our 2010 Form 10-K for a discussion of our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

A summary of recent accounting standards is included in Note 2, Recent Accounting Standards, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is included in Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparation of the company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in the Company's critical accounting policies and significant estimates in 2011.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the first six months of 2011. Please see the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K for a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 1, 2011. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of July 1, 2011, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting at the Company that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
