Financial Statements, Continued: Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (In thousands) Basis of Presentation - ---------------------- The December 31, 2001 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the previously audited consolidated balance sheet of Kaman Corporation and subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the balance of the condensed financial information reflects all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this report. The statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Kaman Corporation's 2001 Annual Report. Acquisitions - ------------ On July 1, 2002, the Corporation completed its acquisition of Dayron (a division of DSE, Inc.), a weapons fuze manufacturer, located in Orlando, Florida. In late July, the Corporation acquired RWG Frankenjura-Industrie Flugwerklager GmbH (RWG), a German aerospace bearing manufacturer. The Corporation used approximately $32,200 for these acquisitions. Restructuring Costs - -------------------- The Corporation's Aerospace segment recorded pre-tax restructuring costs of $8,290 in the second quarter of 2002 for the cost of phasing out the company's aircraft manufacturing plant in Moosup, Connecticut in 2003. The charges represent severance costs of $3,290 at the Moosup and Bloomfield, Conn. locations of approximately 409 employees (to date there have been 99 such separations) and the cost of closing the facility of $5,000. An additional $8,300 of ongoing pre-tax costs are expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2002 and later periods, mostly in 2003, for moving machinery to other company facilities and for recertifying products and processes. - 5 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 1. Financial Statements, Continued: Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (In thousands) Asset Write-Downs/Write-Offs - ---------------------------- During the second quarter of 2002, as a result of management's current evaluation of the K-MAX program, the Aerospace segment wrote-down its K-MAX helicopter program assets, including $46,665 for inventories and $3,335 for fixed assets. In addition, the segment wrote-off Moosup facility assets of $2,679, as a result of the previously described facility closure. These charges are included in cost of sales for 2002.

- 6 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 1. Financial Statements, Continued: Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (In thousands except share amounts) Accrued Contract Loss - --------------------- During the second quarter of 2002, the Corporation's Aerospace segment recorded a pre-tax charge of $25,000 for estimated cost growth on the Australia SH-2G(A) helicopter program, which has put the contract in a loss position. Accordingly, the Company has eliminated the $6,505 profit element of previously recorded sales and has recognized pre-tax loss accruals of $18,495 for anticipated cost growth associated with completion of the aircraft, final integration and testing of the aircraft's advanced Integrated Tactical Avionic System (ITAS) software. In the second quarter of 2001, the Aerospace segment recorded a sales and pre-tax earnings adjustment of $31,181, substantially all of which was associated with a change in estimated costs to complete the SH-2G(A) helicopter program. Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement - --------------------------------------- During the second quarter of 2002, the Corporation's Revolving Credit Agreement was amended to exclude the non-cash portion of the 2002 second quarter charges, up to $52,500, from the financial covenant calculations under the Agreement. Net Gain on Sale of Product Line and Other Assets - ------------------------------------------------- Included in "Other (income)/expense, net" for the 2002 nine months results is a pre-tax $1,928 gain from the sale of the Company's microwave products line in the second quarter. The 2001 nine months results included gains totaling $2.7 million from the sale of two facilities in the first half of the year. Cash Flow Items - --------------- Cash payments for interest were $2,137 and $2,056 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Cash payments for income taxes for the comparable periods were $2,714 and $11,930, respectively. Comprehensive Income/(Loss) - --------------------------- Comprehensive income (loss) was $(39,606) and $4,634 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Comprehensive income was $5,350 and $8,428 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The changes to net earnings (loss)used to determine comprehensive income (loss) are foreign currency translation adjustments. - 7 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 1.

- 9 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations - --------------------- Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 were $218.8 million compared to $219.4 million the previous year. Consolidated revenues for the first nine months of 2002 were $651.5 million compared to $658.8 million for the same period of 2001. Revenue in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 was reduced by $6.5 million as a result of the $25 million Australia SH-2G program adjustment taken in the second quarter. The 2001 nine-month period revenues were reduced by $31.2 million, reflecting a sales and pre-tax earnings adjustment taken in that year's second quarter relating principally to cost growth for the Australia program. Aerospace segment net sales for the third quarter of 2002 were $65.2 million (including $6.6 million from acquisitions made during the past year), compared to $77.1 million in the previous year. Sales for the 2002 nine-month period were $201.3 million (including $12.1 million from acquisitions made during the past year) compared to $223.8 million for the period last year. Excluding the impact of the Australia program adjustments, 2002 nine-month sales would have been $207.8 million compared to $255.0 million for 2001. These results reflect reduced helicopter program revenues as the Australia and New Zealand SH-2G programs taper off. In the second quarter of 2002, the corporation recorded pre-tax charges totaling $86.0 million(of which $52.7 million was non-cash) in the Aerospace segment to cover the write-down of K-MAX helicopter assets, principally inventories; for cost growth associated with the Australian SH-2G(A) program; and to phase out operations at the corporation's Moosup, Connecticut plant. The Aerospace segment's programs include helicopter manufacturing along with spare parts and support; aerostructure and helicopter subcontract work as well as manufacture of components such as self-lubricating bearings and driveline couplings for aircraft applications; and advanced technology products. The corporation's helicopter programs include the SH-2G multi- mission maritime helicopter and the K-MAX medium-to-heavy external lift helicopter. For the third quarter, these programs generated sales of $20.3 million (approximately 31 percent of Aerospace segment sales) compared to 2001 third quarter sales of $33.5 million (approximately 43 percent of Aerospace segment sales), virtually all of which represent SH-2G remanufactured helicopter sales. The percentage change reflects reduced revenues from the SH-2G helicopter programs for Australia and New Zealand as those programs mature, the absence of new SH-2G helicopter sales, and the lack of K-MAX helicopter sales. - 10 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) The 2002 second quarter pre-tax charges include the impact of $25.0 million of additional cost growth in the Australia SH-2G helicopter program, which has put the contract in a loss position. Accordingly, the corporation has eliminated the $6.5 million profit element of previously recorded sales and recognized pre-tax loss accruals of $18.5 million for anticipated cost growth associated with completion of the aircraft, and final integration and testing of the aircraft's advanced Integrated Tactical Avionics System (ITAS) software. This program involves eleven (11) helicopters with support, including a support services facility, for the Royal Australian Navy. The total contract has an anticipated value of about $700 million (US). The helicopter production portion of the work is valued at $580 million, of which about 90% has been recorded as revenue through September 30, 2002, including the 2002 second quarter adjustment. Ten of the aircraft are substantially complete. All of the aircraft presently lack the full ITAS software because the corporation was required to select new subcontractors to complete ITAS software development as a result of a contract dispute settlement with the original software supplier. One result of the new subcontractor arrangements is that Kaman now has responsibility for aircraft system integration (previously a subcontracted task). Work with the new subcontractors is proceeding and the corporation continues its discussions with the Royal Australian Navy to develop an acceptable plan for completion of aircraft deliveries with the full ITAS software, which plan is expected to include phased acceptance of the aircraft. The corporation anticipates that the fully completed ITAS software will be installed and operational on all of the Australian aircraft by the end of 2004. Management believes that when it is equipped with the full ITAS, the SH-2G(A)helicopter will have the most sophisticated, integrated cockpit and weapons system available in an intermediate weight helicopter. The program for New Zealand involves five (5) aircraft, and support, for the Royal New Zealand Navy. The contract has an anticipated value of about $189 million (US), of which about 97% has been recorded as revenue through September 30,2002. Four SH-2G(NZ) helicopters have been accepted and are in operational service with the New Zealand Defence Force. The fifth aircraft, ordered on option under the original contract, is scheduled for delivery on or about the end of this year. The corporation is continuing work on a small contract to refurbish four existing SH-2G aircraft previously in service with the U.S. Navy Reserves to operate aboard two Polish Navy frigates in multi-mission roles such as surface surveillance and anti- submarine warfare. Two helicopters have completed the reactivation process and been accepted by the Government of - 11 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Poland. Reactivation of the other two aircraft is underway and is scheduled for completion by the end of the year. The corporation expects to receive a follow-on contract to provide for pilot and mechanic training. The corporation is also participating in a competition to supply up to six search and rescue helicopters to Egypt, proposing to supply remanufactured SH-2Gs for that requirement. The corporation's involvement in this process began in early 1999. At this point, political conditions in that region are making it difficult to estimate when the government might act on the procurement. Given the lack of other new SH-2G helicopter programs, receipt of an award for this program is important to maintaining the Aerospace segment's third quarter 2002 profit levels. If this program award is not received in 2003, management believes that the Aerospace segment will be required to engage in significant expense reductions in order to attempt to maintain this level of profitability. The corporation is actively pursuing other opportunities for the SH-2G helicopter in the international defense market. This market is highly competitive and heavily influenced by economic and political conditions, however management believes that the aircraft is in a good competitive position to meet the specialized needs of navies around the world that operate smaller ships for which the SH-2G is ideally sized. The corporation also maintains a consignment of the U.S. Navy's inventory of SH-2 spare parts under a multi-year agreement that provides the ability to utilize certain inventory for support of the corporation's SH-2G programs. The K-MAX helicopter program, for which the corporation has maintained a substantial inventory, has experienced significant market difficulties in the past several years. There have been no sales of this helicopter since the first quarter of 2001. In the second quarter of 2002, management made the determination, following a market evaluation of the program, that it would produce further aircraft only upon firm order by a customer and would pursue both a sale and short-term lease program for existing new and used K-MAX aircraft inventory. To date, two K-MAXs have been leased under that program, one each to a new and an existing customer. In connection with the decision made in the second quarter, the corporation wrote down the value of existing aircraft, excess spare parts and equipment inventories ($46.7 million for inventories and $3.3 million for fixed assets). Development costs for the aircraft were previously written off. On a going forward basis, the corporation intends to maintain adequate inventories and personnel to support the fleet. - 12 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Also included in the second quarter 2002 pre-tax charges was $11.0 million for the cost of phasing out the corporation's aircraft manufacturing plant in Moosup, Connecticut, in 2003. The work performed at that facility, the corporation's oldest and least efficient, will be relocated to other company facilities. The charge represents severance costs of about $3.3 million at the Moosup and Bloomfield, Conn. locations which is expected to involve the separation from service of approximately 409 employees (to date there have been 99 such separations); asset write-offs of about $2.7 million; and $5.0 million for the cost of closing the facility. An additional $8.3 million of ongoing pre-tax costs are expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2002 and later periods, mostly in 2003, for moving machinery and re-certifying products and processes. The Aerospace segment also performs aerostructure and helicopter subcontract work for a variety of aerospace manufacturing programs as well as manufacture of proprietary self-lubricating bearings. This work generated sales of $31.2 million for the third quarter of 2002 (48% of Aerospace segment sales) compared to $31.4 million a year ago (about 41% of Aerospace segment sales). Boeing is an important customer of the aerostructures subcontracting and self-lubricating bearings manufacturing operations and management expects some reduction in sales to Boeing in future periods as a result of its projected declines in commercial aircraft production. Aerostructures subcontract work involves commercial and military aircraft programs. Current programs include production of wing structures for virtually all Boeing commercial aircraft and the C-17 military transport. In September, the corporation received a follow-on contract from Boeing for C-17 structural components; the contract runs through June 2007 and has a potential value of $67.5 million. During the second quarter, the corporation received a new contract from Boeing related to the production and fabrication of an additional group of subassemblies that will become part of aircraft fuselages, wings and tail structures for Boeing 747, 757, 767 and 777 families of commercial airplanes. Under this new contract, the Aerospace segment will receive and assemble parts from other suppliers and ship higher-level assemblies to Boeing. Helicopter subcontract work involves commercial and military helicopter programs. Current work includes the production of fuselages and rotor systems for various MD Helicopters, Inc. programs. This work is expected to continue to run at significantly lower sales rates than originally anticipated due to a reduction in demand. Management considers the aircraft structures and components operations to be an area of strategic emphasis for the business. In December 2001, the Corporation acquired Plastic Fabricating Company, Inc., a Wichita, Kansas manufacturer of composite parts - 13 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) and assemblies for aerospace applications. This acquisition provides the segment with a presence in one of the largest aerospace manufacturing areas in the United States and complements its existing composites and metal bonding operations. The segment's proprietary self-lubricating bearings are used in aircraft flight controls, turbine engines and landing gear as well as driveline couplings for helicopters. This business continues to be affected by the drop-off in commercial and regional aircraft manufacturing, although the effect has been offset to some degree by increases in commercial aftermarket and military programs. In late July, the corporation acquired RWG Frankenjura-Industrie Flugwerklager GmbH ("RWG"), a German aerospace bearing manufacturer that complements the corporation's proprietary line of bearings and provides a presence in European aerospace markets. RWG had sales of about US $10 million in 2001 and its largest customer is Airbus Industries. The Aerospace segment also produces advanced technology products which generated sales of $13.7 million in the third quarter of 2002 (about 21% of Aerospace segment sales) compared to $12.2 million a year ago (approximately 16% of Aerospace segment sales). This portion of the segment's business is benefiting from increased defense spending. The corporation manufactures a mix of products for military and commercial markets, including safe, arm and fuzing devices for several missile and bomb programs; electromagnetic motors used commercially in the oil service and transportation industries and for military uses; electro-optic systems; high reliability memory systems for airborne, shipboard, and ground-based applications; and precision non-contact measuring systems for industrial and scientific use. In the third quarter, the corporation was selected to participate on a Northrop-Grumman led team for a U.S. Navy program to design and develop the Rapid Airborne Mine Clearance System, a helicopter-borne clearance capability system for near surface and surface moored sea mines that will provide airborne mine defense for carrier battle groups and amphibious ready groups. The corporation will be responsible for the laser-based target sensor subsystem development. The 36-month subcontract is valued at approximately $7.6 million. In October, the corporation was selected to participate with the University of Arizona to build a collimator used for testing large optical systems in a vacuum environment. The corporation's portion of the five-year contract is valued at about $12.8 million, with the majority of the work expected to occur in 2003. The corporation is also part of the industry team selected by the U.S. Navy to design the integrated electric drive system for the - 14 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Navy's DD(X) next generation surface vessel. The corporation's role will be the design and development of the active electromagnetic components and drive electronics for the propulsion motor in conjunction with Northrop-Grumman Newport News and Power Technology, Incorporated. The value of the corporation's three-year DD(X) effort could exceed $50 million. The corporation has received letter authorization to begin detailed design of the propulsion motor and drive. The contract is expected to be finalized by early next year. On July 1, the corporation completed its acquisition of Dayron, (a division of DSE, Inc.) a weapons fuze manufacturer, located in Orlando, Florida. Dayron manufactures bomb fuzes for a variety of munitions programs, and has the contract to develop a fuze for the Air Force Joint Programmable Fuze (JPF) program. The corporation expects to receive the results of qualification testing for the JPF program in the March/April 2003 time frame. Once the JPF program is qualified and deployed, the corporation expects that it will be the leading fuze supplier for precision- guided munitions for the U.S. Air Force and Navy. Industrial Distribution segment net sales for the third quarter of 2002 were $120.3 million (including $10.1 million from acquisitions made during the past year) compared to $109.6 in the 2001 quarter. For the nine-month period, segment net sales were $358.7 million (including $27.4 million from acquisitions made during the past year) compared to $345.7 million the previous year. Since the segment's customers include nearly every sector of U.S. industry, this business is influenced by industrial production levels and has been adversely affected by conditions in the manufacturing sector that have existed since late 2000. These difficult economic conditions are continuing, however cost reduction activity has helped the segment to remain profitable to date. Management believes that when economic recovery occurs, this segment will be in a good position to benefit due to its lean operating posture. The Industrial Distribution segment's 2002 results include A-C Supply of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which was acquired in September 2001 and Delamac de Mexico S.A. de C.V. ("Delamac"), a leading distributor of industrial products headquartered in Mexico City, in which the corporation acquired a sixty percent interest in the first quarter of 2002. These acquisitions expand the segment's presence into new geographical areas and improve its ability to serve national account customers. These acquisitions also represent incremental steps in the corporation's overall strategy of building the value of its businesses through acquisitions and internal growth. - 15 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) In the past, the Industrial Distribution segment has been one of numerous defendants in a few "John Doe" type legal proceedings, and generally relating to parts allegedly supplied to the U.S. Navy's shipyard in San Diego, California by a predecessor company over 25 years ago, that may have contained asbestos. The corporation settled those few claims for nominal amounts with contribution by insurance carriers. During the past quarter, however, the corporation has experienced an increase in such claims. Management believes that the Industrial Distribution segment has good defenses to these claims, which it intends to assert and does not currently expect that this situation will have a material adverse effect on the corporation. Music Distribution segment net sales were $32.8 million for the third quarter of 2002 compared to $32.4 million the previous year. Net sales for the first nine months of 2002 were $90.5 million, compared to $88.4 million in the 2001 period. The segment had a good quarter despite sluggishness in both domestic and international markets. On October 18, 2002, this segment acquired Latin Percussion, Inc., a leading global distributor of a wide range of Latin percussion instruments. Latin Percussion's revenues for 2002 are projected to be about $20 million. In the third quarter, one of the Music Distribution segment's larger chain store customers, Mars Music, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The corporation's exposure as an unsecured creditor has been reserved for. Management believes that it is too early to determine what effect this bankruptcy will have on the overall music market. The corporation's segments, in total, had operating profits of $12.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to $13.0 million last year. For the third quarter 2002, the Aerospace segment had operating profits of $7.2 million compared to $8.1 million last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Aerospace segment had an operating loss of $61.7 million, primarily due to the 2002 pre-tax charges. Excluding the 2002 second-quarter charges, Aerospace segment operating profits would have been $24.3 million for the nine-month period. In the 2001 nine-month period, this segment had an operating loss of $2.7 million. Excluding the 2001 sales and earnings adjustment, segment operating profits would have been $28.5 million in the first nine months. The 2002 results are reflective of reduced revenues in the segment's helicopter programs. Operating profits for the Industrial Distribution segment were $3.0 million for the third quarter and $9.1 million for the nine- month period, compared to $2.7 million and $11.3 million in the - 16 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) comparable 2001 time periods. Results reflect intense pricing pressures in the marketplace and very difficult economic conditions that continue to affect the segment's customer base. Consistent with last year, supplier discounts continue to be an important contributor to segment operating profits. Operating profits for the Music Distribution segment were $2.3 million in the third quarter and $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $2.3 million and $4.2 million for the comparable periods of 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and the nine-month periods of 2002 were higher than the same period of last year, principally due to acquisitions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, interest expense was about $1.8 million compared to about $1.7 million during the same period of 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, interest income was $264 thousand, compared to about $1.5 million the previous year. These amounts are netted together on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other income for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002 includes a pre-tax $1.9 million gain from the sale of the corporation's microwave products line. The 2001 nine-month period included gains from the sale of facilities of $2.7 million. The tax benefit for the 2002 nine-month period is calculated at approximately 34% and represents the combined estimated federal and state tax effect attributable to the second quarter loss. In the 2001 period, the corporation adjusted its estimated tax rate to 25 percent, primarily due to reduced tax considerations on the Australian helicopter program. The corporation has not been required to make a contribution to its tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan since 2000. As a result of market conditions, management expects that the corporation will be required to make a contribution for 2003, the size of which will depend upon the asset value of the pension trust fund as of December 31, 2002. Net earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 were $5.6 million compared to $8.5 million in the same quarter last year. Earnings per share diluted were $0.25 for the quarter compared to $0.37 in the same period a year ago. As a result of the second quarter $86.0 million pre-tax charges, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the corporation's segments, in total, experienced a net loss of $39.5 million (or $1.76 net loss per share diluted) compared to net earnings of $4.8 million (or $0.21 per share diluted) in the same period last year. The 2002 nine month results also include a pre-tax $1.9 million gain from the - 17 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) sale of the corporation's microwave products line in the second quarter. 2001 nine-month results included a $31.2 million adjustment to sales and pre-tax earnings in the second quarter related to a change in estimated costs to complete the Australia SH-2G helicopter program; results also included gains totaling $2.7 million from the sale of two facilities in the first half of that year. Excluding the 2002 second-quarter pre-tax charges, nine-month earnings would have been $16.2 million ($0.72 per share diluted). Excluding the $31.2 million adjustment largely attributable to the Australia SH-2G program, 2001 nine-month net earnings would have been $24.4 million ($1.06 per share diluted). These results reflect a weak economy, maturation of the New Zealand and Australia helicopter programs, the absence of new SH-2G programs, and the lack of K-MAX helicopter sales. In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146"). This statement provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with disposal activities and is effective for the corporation on January 1, 2003, at which time it will be adopted. Critical Accounting Policies - ---------------------------- The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting policies are disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. The most significant current areas involving management judgments and estimates are described below. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Long-Term Contracts - Revenue Recognition - ----------------------------------------- Sales and estimated profits under long-term contracts are principally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, generally using either a ratio that costs incurred bear to estimated total costs, after giving effect to estimates of costs to complete based upon most recent information for each contract, or units-of-delivery as the measurement basis for effort accomplished. Reviews of contracts are made regularly - 18 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) throughout their lives and revisions in profit estimates are recorded in the accounting period in which the revisions are made. Any anticipated contract losses are charged to operations when first indicated. Inventories - ----------- Inventory of merchandise for resale is stated at cost (using the average costing method) or market, whichever is lower. Contracts and work in process, and finished goods are valued at production cost represented by material, labor and overhead, including general and administrative expenses where applicable. Contracts and work in process, and finished goods are not recorded in excess of net realizable values. Goodwill Accounting - ------------------- The corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective January 1, 2002. Goodwill is no longer required to be amortized but rather is evaluated at least annually for impairment. The corporation utilizes discounted cash flow models to determine fair value used in the goodwill impairment evaluation. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon factors such as projected sales and cash flows and other elements requiring significant judgments. The corporation utilizes the best available information to prepare its estimates and perform impairment evaluations, however, actual results could differ significantly, resulting in the future impairment of recorded goodwill balances. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- During the first nine months of 2002 operating activities used $24.4 million in cash, principally due to increased accounts receivable in the Aerospace and Industrial Distribution segments. Aerospace accounts receivable increased principally as a result of the Australian SH-2G helicopter program and the MD helicopter subcontract work, while Industrial Distribution receivables were higher as a result of increased sales compared to the traditionally weaker fourth quarter of the prior year. Cash was also used as accounts payable and other liabilities decreased during the nine months of 2002, principally in the Aerospace segment. Cash flow for the nine-month period was generally not affected by the $86.0 million second quarter charges previously described because $52.7 million of the charges were non-cash in nature and $6.5 million consisted of a write-down of receivables. Additionally, $8.3 million of the Moosup restructuring and the - 19 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) $18.5 million loss accrual attributable to the Australia SH-2G program are expected to be spent in later 2002 and future periods; as of September 30, 2002, $520 thousand had been spent in connection with the Moosup restructuring. The second quarter charges are expected to result in a tax benefit of about 34 percent although most of the cash aspect of this benefit will not be realized until 2003 and future periods. During the first nine months of 2002, cash was used by investing activities principally due to the acquisitions of Delamac, Dayron, and RWG and by the purchase of items such as machinery and computer equipment. This was offset to some degree by the sale of the microwave products line. Latin Percussion, Inc. was acquired after September 30, 2002. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to bank borrowings to fund the acquisitions. This was partially offset by the payment of dividends to shareholders and to a lesser degree the sinking fund requirement for the corporation's debentures (described below). At September 30, 2002, the corporation had $23.2 million of its 6% convertible subordinated debentures outstanding. The debentures are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at any time on or before March 15, 2012 at a conversion price of $23.36 per share, generally at the option of the holder. Pursuant to a sinking fund requirement that began March 15, 1997, the corporation redeems approximately $1.7 million of the outstanding principal of the debentures each year. In November, 2000, the corporation's board of directors approved a replenishment of the corporation's stock repurchase program, providing for repurchase of an aggregate of 1.4 million Class A common shares for use in administration of the corporation's stock plans and for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2002, a total of about 212,000 shares have been repurchased under the program. The corporation maintains a revolving credit agreement involving a group of financial institutions. The agreement has a maximum unsecured line of credit of $225 million which consists of a $150 million commitment for 5 years and a $75 million commitment under a "364 day" arrangement which is renewable annually for an additional 364 days, upon the consent of the banks. The entire facility expires in 2005. The $75 million commitment was so renewed effective November 6, 2002. The most restrictive of the covenants contained in the agreement requires the corporation to have EBITDA, as defined, at least equal to 300% of net interest expense and a ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total capitalization of not more than 55%, on the basis of a rolling four quarters. In view of the weak earnings environment, management is closely monitoring the EBITDA to interest expense - 20 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) ratio requirement. Late in the second quarter of 2002, an amendment to the revolving credit agreement was entered into, under which the non-cash portion of the 2002 second quarter charges, up to $52.5 million, were excluded from the financial covenant calculations. Letters of credit are generally considered borrowings for purposes of the revolving credit agreement. A total of $51.0 million in letters of credit are currently outstanding under the agreement, most of which is related to the Australia SH-2G program. Reductions to the Australia letters of credit are anticipated as agreed upon performance milestones are reached and as the corporation and the Australian government agree upon a process for completion of delivery of the SH-2G(A) aircraft with the full ITAS software. Total average bank borrowings were $12.9 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the third quarter, cash in the amount of approximately $32.2 million was used for the acquisitions of Dayron and RWG. In connection with the acquisition of RWG, in July the corporation established a 9.5 million Euro term loan and revolving credit facility with one of its revolving credit agreement lenders having offices in London. In general, the term of this facility will expire at the same time as the five-year revolving credit facility described previously. Management believes that the corporation's annual cash flow from operations and available unused bank lines of credit under its revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to finance its working capital and other recurring capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Forward-Looking Statements - -------------------------- This report contains forward-looking information relating to the corporation's business and prospects, including the SH-2G and K-MAX helicopter programs, aerostructures, helicopter structures, and components, advanced technology products, including fuzes for the JPF program and components for the DD(X) program, the industrial and music distribution businesses, operating cash flow, and other matters that involve a number of uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. Those uncertainties include, but are not limited to: 1) the successful conclusion of competitions and thereafter contract negotiations with government authorities, including foreign governments, including specifically the Egypt helicopter competition; 2) political developments in countries where the corporation intends to do business; 3) standard government contract provisions permitting renegotiation of terms and termination for the convenience of the government; 4) economic - 21 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) and competitive conditions in markets served by the corporation, including industry consolidation in the United States and global economic conditions; 5) timing of satisfactory completion of the Australian SH-2G(A) program; 6) ultimate level of sales under the MD Helicopters subcontract program; 7) actual costs for moving equipment and re-certifying products and processes in connection with phase out of the Moosup, Connecticut facility; 8) JPF program qualification test results; 9) successful completion of contract negotiations for the DD(X) program; 10) successful sale or lease of existing K-MAX inventory; 11) profitable integration of acquired businesses into the corporation's operations; 12) value of the corporation's pension trust fund assets at December 31, 2002; 13) U.S. industrial production levels; 14) changes in supplier sales policies; 15) the effect of price increases or decreases; and 16) currency exchange rates, taxes, changes in laws and regulations, interest rates, inflation rates, general business conditions and other factors. Any forward-looking information should be considered with these factors in mind. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The corporation has various market risk exposures that arise from its normal business operations, including currency exchange rates, supplier price changes, and interest rates as well as other factors described in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this report. The corporation's exposure to currency exchange rates is managed at the corporate and subsidiary operations levels as an integral part of the business. The corporation's exposure to supplier sales policies and price changes relates primarily to its distribution businesses and the corporation seeks to manage this risk through its procurement policies and maintenance of favorable relationships with suppliers. The corporation's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its financial instruments, and is managed through the use of a combination of short-term investments with market interest rates, long-term debt obligations with fixed interest rates, and revolving credit facilities with variable interest rates. Fees and interest rates charged on revolving credit commitments and borrowings are based upon borrowing levels, market interest rates, and the corporation's credit rating. Letters of credit are generally considered borrowings for purposes of the corporation's revolving credit agreement. There has been some increase in the corporation's exposure to these market risk factors during the third quarter of 2002, as - 22 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (Continued) bank borrowings have increased in the quarter, principally due to planned acquisitions. Management believes that any near- term change in the market risk factors described above should not materially affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the corporation. Item 4. Controls and Procedures The corporation maintains controls and other procedures designed to provide assurance that information required to be disclosed by the corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported upon in a timely manner. Several members of management form an integral part of this process, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have evaluated these controls and procedures within the past 90 days and as of October 18, 2002, they concluded that such controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in the corporation's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls and procedures subsequent to October 18, 2002. - 23 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
