These pro forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures since the estimated fair value of stock options is amortized to expense over the vesting period, and additional options may be granted in future years. The pro forma amounts assume that the corporation had been following the fair value approach since the beginning. * The calculated diluted per share amounts for 2002 are anti-dilutive, therefore, amounts shown are equal to the basic per share calculation. - 10 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 1. Financial Statements, Continued: Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (In thousands) Recent Accounting Standards - --------------------------- In April 2003, The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment to Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 149") which is effective for the corporation after June 30, 2003. SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS 133. The corporation adopted SFAS 149 effective July 1, 2003 and that adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position. In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150") which is effective for the corporation on July 1, 2003. SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The corporation adopted SFAS 150 effective July 1, 2003 and that adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position. - 11 - 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 net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $216.3 million compared to $209.1 million for the same period of 2002. Consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $432.3 million compared to $432.2 million in the previous year. Net sales in both periods of 2002 were reduced by $6.5 million as a result of the Australia SH-2G helicopter program adjustment taken in the second quarter of that year. Results for the quarter and six-month periods reflect continued economic weakness in key markets served by the corporation, including commercial aviation and industrial production. Aerospace segment net sales were $62.9 million for the second quarter of 2003 (including $7.2 million from acquisitions made during the past year) compared to $60.4 million in the comparable 2002 quarter (which included $2.9 million from two divested businesses). Net sales for the first six months of 2003 were $124.6 million (including $14.3 million from acquisitions made during the past year)compared to $136.0 million in the previous year (including $9.7 million from two divested businesses). The second quarter 2002 adjustment mentioned above reduced net sales by $6.5 million for both periods of 2002. The 2003 results reflect weakness in commercial aviation markets, the wind down of the Australia SH-2G program (which is in its later stages) and lack of new SH-2G production orders or K-MAX helicopter sales in the quarter. 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 drive-line 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. This business generated sales of $18.7 million in the second quarter (about 30% of Aerospace segment sales), reflecting a decrease in SH-2G sales offset by a small increase in K-MAX spare parts sales. Sales for the same period of 2002 were $13.7 million, which includes the previously mentioned $6.5 million downward adjustment (approximately 23% of the segment's sales). SH-2G helicopter programs constitute the vast majority of the segment's helicopter program sales. SH-2G programs are - 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) currently in process for the governments of Australia and Poland. Except for post-production support, the SH-2G program for New Zealand has been successfully completed. Work continues on the SH-2G (A) program for Australia which involves eleven helicopters with support, including a support services facility, for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The total contract has an anticipated value of about $716 million (US). The helicopter production portion of the program is valued at approximately $595 million, of which about 93% has been recorded as sales through June 30, 2003. As previously reported, this contract is now in a loss position due to an increase in anticipated costs to complete the program, which was reflected in a $25.0 million charge taken in the second quarter of 2002 and a $31.2 million pre-tax charge taken in the second quarter of 2001. Production of all the SH-2G(A) aircraft is essentially complete. As previously reported, all of the aircraft lack the full Integrated Tactical Avionics System (ITAS) software because of a contract dispute with the original software supplier. Replacement subcontractors are in the process of completing that element of the program and the corporation has responsibility for aircraft system integration (previously a subcontracted task). Following the corporation's successful completion of a recent important performance milestone for the ITAS software, the Australian government has agreed to proceed with provisional acceptance of each of the aircraft and this process began in early August,2003. The RAN intends to use the aircraft for training purposes until the full ITAS is installed and the aircraft have been finally accepted. The corporation currently expects that the software will be fully completed, installed and operational on all of the Australia aircraft by the end of 2004. The program for New Zealand, involving five aircraft with support to serve the Royal New Zealand Navy, has essentially been completed as the fifth and final aircraft was accepted by the New Zealand government in the first quarter of 2003. The contract has an anticipated value of about $190 million (US), of which about 98% has been recorded as revenue through June 30, 2003. In a smaller program, the corporation has completed work on the reactivation of four existing SH-2G aircraft previously in service with the U.S. Navy Reserves for the government of Poland. Under related contracts, the corporation is now providing spare parts and training for Polish pilots, sensor operators and maintenance personnel. Once training is completed, the aircraft are scheduled to become operational aboard two Polish Navy FFG-7 class frigates. - 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) The corporation continues to pursue 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 continues to believe 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 corporation the ability to utilize certain inventory for support of its SH-2G programs. Regarding the K-MAX program, the corporation continues to pursue both a sale and short-term lease program for existing new and used K-MAX aircraft inventory and will produce additional aircraft only upon firm order by a customer. As previously reported, this approach follows a 2002 market evaluation of the K-MAX helicopter program which had experienced several years of significant market difficulties. One K-MAX lease was entered into during the second quarter of 2003 and one additional lease was entered into subsequent to the end of the second quarter. The Aerospace segment also performs aerostructure and helicopter subcontract work for a variety of aerospace manufacturers and produces proprietary self-lubricating bearings. This business generated sales of $32.9 million in the second quarter of 2003 (about 52% of Aerospace segment sales) compared to $33.2 million for same period a year ago (about 55% of this segment's sales). This element of the segment is an area of strategic emphasis for the corporation; however, the low current and projected near-term build rates for commercial airliners affect this business directly, making the market increasingly competitive and difficult on an industry-wide basis. Aerostructures subcontract work involves commercial and military aircraft programs. Current programs include production of assemblies such as wing structures and other parts for virtually all Boeing commercial aircraft and the C-17 military transport. Helicopter subcontract work involves commercial and military programs. Current work includes multi-year contracts for production of fuselages and rotor systems for various MD Helicopters, Inc. (MDHI) aircraft. Total orders received from MDHI are running at significantly lower rates than originally anticipated due to lower than expected demand. The corporation's investment in these contracts at August 14, 2003, consists of $5.2 million in billed receivables and $17.2 million in recoverable costs - not billed (which includes start-up costs and other program expenditures). The recoverability of unbilled costs will - 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) depend to a significant extent upon MDHI's future requirements. The corporation has also experienced difficulty with collection of its billed receivables from this customer. From January 1, 2003 through August 14, 2003, the corporation has received several partial payments. However, the corporation has stopped production on these contracts while it works with MDHI to resolve payment issues. The segment manufactures proprietary self-lubricating bearings used in aircraft flight controls, turbine engines and landing gear and produces 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 military programs. The acquisition a year ago of RWG Frankenjura-Industrie Flugwerklager GmbH ("RWG"), a small German specialty bearing manufacturer, is expected to strengthen Kaman's presence in European markets. Airbus Industrie is RWG's largest customer. The Aerospace segment also produces advanced technology products. Sales for the second quarter of 2003 were $11.3 million (approximately 18% of Aerospace segment sales) compared to $13.5 million in the prior year period (about 22% of this segment's sales). These products involve systems, devices and assemblies for a variety of military and commercial applications, including safe, arm and fuzing devices for several missile and bomb programs; high reliability memory systems for airborne, shipboard, and ground- based programs; precision non-contact measuring systems for industrial and scientific use; and electro-optic systems for mine detection and other applications. Management continues to expect that this portion of the segment's business will benefit from increased defense spending as materiel used in the war in Iraq is replenished. The corporation's Dayron operation, which was acquired in July 2002, is a weapons fuze manufacturer for a variety of munitions programs and has the contract to develop a fuze for the U.S. Air Force and Navy Joint Programmable Fuze (JPF) program. As a result of qualification test results received during the first quarter of 2003, the corporation is implementing certain changes to the fuze production process. The corporation is in the process of completing the changes and conducting internal testing. Management currently expects to resume final qualification testing during the third quarter of 2003. The corporation has divested two non-core portions of the Aerospace Segment. Specifically, in the second quarter of 2002, the corporation sold its microwave products line. That product line was formerly associated with the Kaman Sciences Corp. - 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) subsidiary which was sold in 1997. Microwave product sales were about $2.0 million in the first half of 2002. In January 2003, the corporation sold its Electromagnetics Development Center (EDC), an electric motor and drive business that had sales of approximately $7.7 million in the first half of 2002. Industrial Distribution segment net sales for the second quarter of 2003 were $121.9 million compared to $121.0 million a year ago. Net sales for the first half of 2003 were $242.1 million compared to $238.5 million a year ago. This segment distributes more than 1.5 million power transmission and motion control items, from bearings to complete material handling systems, through a network of nearly 200 branches and regional distribution centers in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The customer base includes over 50,000 businesses in nearly every sector of heavy and light industry and as a result, this business is influenced by industrial production levels and has been adversely affected by continuing weakness in the economy. Cost reduction activity has helped the segment remain profitable during this period and management believes that when economic recovery occurs, the segment will be in a good position to benefit due to its lean operating posture. Over the past several years, large companies have increasingly centralized their purchasing through suppliers that can service all of their plant locations across a wide geographic area. As this trend continues, the corporation has expanded its presence in geographic markets considered key to winning these customers through acquisitions in the upper Midwest and Mexico, and the selective opening of new branches. Efforts of this nature are continuing. Success in the market requires a combination of competitive pricing and value-added services that save the customer money while helping it become more efficient and productive. During the second quarter, this segment worked on integrating new business with Campbell Soup Company (including Pepperidge Farms), Hershey Foods, and Phelps Dodge. As previously reported, this segment has experienced an increase in the number of "John Doe" type legal proceedings filed against it, 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. Certain claims filed in the past have been settled for nominal amounts, with contribution from insurance carriers. Approximately sixty claims are currently outstanding, involving the company among many - 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) other defendants. Management believes that the 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 for the second quarter of 2003 were $31.5 million, including $4.9 million from the acquisition of Latin Percussion, Inc. ("LP") in October 2002, compared to $27.7 million for the same period last year. For the first half of 2003, net sales were $65.6 million, including $8.9 million contributed by LP, compared to $57.7 million in the same period of 2002. This segment is America's largest independent distributor of music instruments and accessories, offering more than 10,000 products to retailers of all sizes, from national chains to local shops. This segment's business is directly affected by consumer confidence levels and results in the base business to date in 2003 reflect a somewhat weak consumer environment, although this has been more than offset by LP's performance. LP is considered the world leader in hand percussion instruments. The segment's distribution agreement with Gretsch drums, and more recent agreements with Sabian cymbals and Elixir strings are all contributing to segment performance. The corporation's segments, in total, had net operating profits of $11.3 million for the second quarter and $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to net losses of $73.8 million for the second quarter and $60.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Second quarter and six-month period results for 2002 include pre-tax charges totaling $86.0 million covering cost growth associated with the Australia SH-2G helicopter program, the write-down of the K-MAX helicopter program assets, and the phasing out of operations at the corporation's Moosup, Conn. plant. For the second quarter of 2003, the Aerospace segment had operating profits of $6.5 million (including the effect of $480 thousand in ongoing relocation and re-certification costs related to the Moosup, Conn. plant closure)compared to an operating loss of $78.0 million a year earlier as a result of the pre-tax charges. For the first half of 2003, this segment had operating profits of $13.7 million compared to an operating loss of $68.9 million in the 2002 period as a result of the pre-tax charges. These results reflect reduced revenues in the segment's helicopter programs and weakness in the commercial aerospace market. As a whole, the Aerospace segment is experiencing a significant underutilization of production capacity due to completion of the New Zealand helicopter program and wind down of the Australia helicopter program, the absence of new helicopter production orders and continued softening in the commercial aerospace market. - 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) Because of the lower production levels, which have continued throughout the first half of 2003, overhead expenditures are being absorbed at higher rates by active programs, which has resulted in higher costs and generally lower profitability for those programs. As previously reported, this condition has necessitated significant measures which are being taken to maintain Aerospace segment profitability during this period, including staff reductions and other cost-cutting measures in an attempt to bring operating overheads in line with a lower revenue base. These actions are expected to continue. In addition, the previously announced closure of the corporation's aircraft manufacturing plant in Moosup, Connecticut is scheduled to occur by the end of 2003. In connection with that plant closure, the corporation recorded a charge of about $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2002 relating to severance costs at the Moosup and Bloomfield, Connecticut locations which is expected to involve the separation from service of approximately 400 employees (of which $1.1 million had been paid for 174 such separations as of June 30, 2003). The work performed at the Moosup facility will be relocated to other company facilities. Operating profits in the Industrial Distribution segment were $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $3.5 million in the prior year period. This segment's operating profits for the first half of 2003 were $6.2 million compared to $6.1 million in the same period last year. These results reflect continuing pricing pressures in the marketplace and continuing difficult economic conditions affecting the segment's customer base. The industry's practice of providing vendor incentives (i.e., vendors provide inventory purchase rebates to distributors at specified volume-purchasing levels) continues to be an important contributor to this segment's operating profits. The Music Distribution segment's operating profits for the second quarter of 2003 were $1.4 million compared to $707 thousand the previous year while operating profits for the six-month period were $3.2 million compared to $2.1 million for the 2002 period. The 2003 results are primarily due to the addition of LP. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2003 were $3.3 million, or $0.15 per share diluted, compared to a net loss of $50.4 million, or $2.25 loss per share diluted in the 2002 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net earnings were $17.3 million, or $0.75 per share diluted, compared to a net loss of $45.0 million, or $2.01 loss per share diluted the previous year. The 2003 six- month results include a pre-tax gain of $16.5 million from the - 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) sale of the EDC operation in January. The 2002 six-month results include a pre-tax gain of $1.9 million from sale of the company's microwave product line. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net interest expense was about $1.5 million compared to approximately $0.9 million in the 2002 time period. The consolidated effective income tax rate for the period ended June 30, 2003 was 38.9% compared to a tax recovery rate of 34.1% for the same period last year. In April 2003, The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment to Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 149") which is effective for the corporation after June 30, 2003. SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS 133. The corporation adopted SFAS 149 effective July 1, 2003 and that adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position. In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150") and is effective for the corporation on July 1, 2003. SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The corporation adopted SFAS 150 effective July 1, 2003 and that adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position. Although the corporation has not been required to make a contribution to its tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan since 2000, for 2003 it expects to expense approximately $2.9 million and make a contribution of $1.4 million, based upon the asset value of the pension trust fund as of December 31, 2002. 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 - 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) 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, 2002. 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 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. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - ------------------- Trade accounts receivable consist of amounts billed and currently due from customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management's best estimate of probable losses inherent in the trade accounts receivable balance. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. Billed amounts for U.S. Government, commercial, and other government contracts consist of amounts billed and currently due from customers. Recoverable costs and accrued profit - not billed for U.S. Government, commercial, and other government contracts primarily relate to costs incurred on contracts which are expected to become billable upon future deliveries, achievement of specific contract milestones or completion of engineering and service type contracts. - 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) 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 AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS ACCOUNTING - ----------------------------------------------- Goodwill and certain other intangible assets are no longer required to be amortized but rather are evaluated at least annually for impairment. The corporation utilizes discounted cash flow models to determine fair value used in the goodwill and other intangible asset impairment evaluations. 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 and other intangible asset balances. VENDOR INCENTIVES - ----------------- The corporation enters into agreements with certain vendors providing for inventory purchase rebates that are generally earned upon achieving specified volume-purchasing levels. The corporation recognizes these rebates as a reduction in cost of goods sold as rebates are earned. While management believes that the corporation will continue to receive rebates from vendors, there can be no assurance that vendors will continue to provide comparable amounts in the future. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- For the six months of 2003, operating activities used a net $10.9 million of cash, principally due to increased accounts receivable and inventories in the Aerospace segment. In the Aerospace segment, accounts receivable increased primarily due to - 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) SH-2G programs, the largest element being the Australia program. This was offset in part by a decrease in income taxes receivable and an increase in income taxes payable, and also to some degree by increases in accounts payable, mostly in the Industrial Distribution segment. During the first half of 2003, the largest element of cash provided from investing activities consisted of the proceeds from the sale of the EDC operation. Cash used in financing activities for the first half of 2003 consisted of reductions in long-term debt and payments of dividends to shareholders. At June 30, 2003, the corporation had $21.6 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 June 30, 2003, a total of about 269,000 shares had been repurchased under this replenishment program. The corporation maintains a revolving credit agreement involving a group of financial institutions. The agreement provides a maximum unsecured line of credit of $225 million which consists of a $150 million commitment for five 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 is renewable in November 2003. 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, on the basis of a rolling four quarters and a ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total capitalization of not more than 55%. Late in the second quarter of 2002, an amendment to the revolving credit agreement was entered into, under which the non-cash portion of charges taken in the second quarter of 2002 were excluded from the financial covenant calculations. Letters of credit are generally considered borrowings for purposes of the revolving credit agreement. A total of $29.8 million in - 22 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) letters of credit were outstanding at June 30, 2003 much of which is related to the Australia SH-2G program. During the second quarter, the letter of credit for the helicopter production portion of the Australia program was reduced to a balance of $20 million, which will remain in place until final acceptance of the aircraft by the RAN. Total average bank borrowings were $42.6 million for the first half of 2003 compared to $3.0 million in the same period of 2002. During 2002, cash in the amount of $51.2 million was used for the acquisitions of RWG and Dayron in the Aerospace segment, a sixty percent interest in Delamac de Mexico S.A. de C.V. in the Industrial Distribution segment, and LP in the Music Distribution segment. In connection with the acquisition of RWG, in July 2002 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 agreement contains the same financial covenants as the revolving credit agreement described previously and the term of this facility will expire at the same time as the revolving credit agreement. 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 and helicopter subcontract programs and components, advanced technology products, 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; 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 and competitive conditions in markets served by the corporation, particularly industrial production and commercial aviation, and - 23 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2.

Any forward-looking information should be considered with these factors in mind. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk There has been no significant change in the corporation's exposure to market risk during the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Please see the corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 for discussion of the corporation's exposure to market risk. Item 4. Controls and Procedures (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. - 24 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 4.

The corporation's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level. (b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d- 15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. - 25 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
