Introduction - ------------ Pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant, Curtiss-Wright Corporation hereby files its Annual Report on Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.2001. References in the text to the "Corporation," "Company," "Curtiss-Wright" or the "Registrant" include Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise. References to the Company's "Annual Report" are to its 19992001 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 13. Page 4 PART I Item 1. Business. - ----------------- General Business - ---------------- On October 26, 2001, the Corporation's shareholders approved a recapitalization plan, which enabled Unitrin Inc. ("Unitrin") to distribute its approximate 44% equity interest in Curtiss-Wright to its shareholders on a tax-free basis. In addition to approving the recapitalization plan, shareholders also approved the implementation of certain corporate governance changes to the Corporation's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. Under the recapitalization plan, and in order to meet certain Internal Revenue Code requirements, Unitrin's approximately 4.4 million shares were exchanged for an equivalent number of shares of a new Class B Common Stock of Curtiss-Wright which are entitled to elect 80% of Curtiss-Wright's Board of Directors. After such exchange, Unitrin immediately distributed the Class B common shares to its approximately 8,000 registered stockholders in a tax-free distribution. The holders of the remaining outstanding common shares of Curtiss-Wright are entitled to elect up to 20% of the Board of Directors after the distribution. Other than the right to elect Directors, the two classes of stock vote as a single class (except as required by law) and are equal in all other respects. The new Class B Common Stock was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, effective November 29, 2001. Under the terms of the recapitalization agreement reached between Unitrin and Curtiss-Wright, Unitrin agreed to reimburse the Corporation for certain costs associated with the recapitalization up to a maximum of $1.75 million. This amount was received subsequent to the recapitalization. On November 20, 2001, the Registrant's Board of Directors authorized the amendment of the Corporation's Shareholder Rights Plan (the "Right's Plan") to account for the newly created Class B Common Stock. The Right's Plan provides one preferred stock purchase right for each share of the Registrant's Class B Common Stock and Common Stock, entitling the registered holders to purchase from the Registrant one one-thousandth of a share of the respective Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share of the Registrant at a price of $235 per one one-thousandth of a share of preferred stock, subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Right's Plan are set forth in the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 4 to the Registrant's Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2001.

The JSF is the Corporation consolidated certain operations, relocating substantiallynext generation fighter aircraft being designed for use by all three branches of itsthe U.S. military as well as several foreign governments. The U.S. Air Force's Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) weapons bay door system is another major development effort for the Corporation. The manufacturing fromof these applications is performed at the Corporation's Fairfield, New Jersey facility into its Shelby, North Carolina facility. Accordingly, these operations are mainly conducted from the Corporation's facility in Shelby, North Carolina. With the acquisition on December 31, 1998 of SIG Antriebstechnik AG*, the Company also offers electro-mechanical and electro-hydraulic actuation components and systems including electronic controls to the military tracked and wheeled vehicle, high speed railroad train, and commercial marine propulsion markets. These products which are designed and manufactured at the Corporation's facility in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Switzerland, primarily consist of drives and suspension systems for armored military vehicles sold to defense equipment manufacturers, and tilting systems for high speed railway car applications, in each case to overseas markets. The actuation and control products and services of this Segment are marketed directly to customers by employees of the Corporation. These products are sold in competition with a number of other system suppliers, most of which have broader product lines and financial, technical, and human resources greater than those of the Company. Competition is primarily on the basis of engineering capability, quality and price and is directed to the placement of systems to perform control and actuation functions on the limited number of new production programs. As a related service within this Segment,segment, Curtiss-Wright also provides commercial airlines, the military and general aviation customers with component overhaul and repair services. The Corporation overhauls a varietyservices provided include the overhaul and repair of hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, electro-mechanical, electrical and electronic components, found on Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Airbusaircraft parts sourcing, and othercomponent exchange services for a wide array of aircraft.

In 1999 and 2000, the Corporation consolidated its aerospace manufacturing and overhaul operations from its facility in Fairfield, New Jersey to its facilities in Shelby and Gastonia, North Carolina. In addition, the segment's engineering and development functions were relocated to a new facility in Pine Brook, New Jersey. Defense products offered by the segment consist of electro-mechanical and electro-hydraulic actuation components and systems including electronic controls for the military tracked and wheeled vehicle, high-speed tilting train, and commercial marine propulsion markets. These products, which are designed and manufactured at the segment's facility in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Switzerland, primarily consist of turret aiming and stabilization systems and suspension systems for armored military vehicles sold to defense equipment manufacturers, and tilting systems for high-speed train applications. The products are sold using a direct sales force to customers primarily in Western Europe, Southeast Asia and South Africa. On November 1, 2001, the Company sellsacquired Lau Defense Systems ("LDS") based in Littleton, Massachusetts and Vista Controls ("Vista") located in Santa Clarita, California. Collectively the acquired companies design, develop and manufacture mission-critical electronic control systems primarily for defense markets. Products include electronic components and subsystems used in fire control, aiming and stabilization, munitions loading and environmental processors for military ground vehicles. They provide electronic subsystems for the demanding combat platforms in existence today including the Bradley fighting vehicle, the Abrams M1A2/A3 tank, and the Brigade Combat Team Interim Armored Vehicle, which is in the U.S. Army's modernization and transformation efforts. They also provide the mission management and flight control computers used on the U.S. Air Force Global Hawk, a commercial rescue tool using its "Power Hinge"(TM)high-altitude and high endurance unmanned aerial vehicle. In February 2002, the Corporation signed a licensing agreement with Viisage Technology, Inc. ("Viisage"), a leader in facial-recognition technology and identification systems, to market and sell their facial-recognition solutions to all agencies associated with the U.S. Department of Defense. Viisage is a related party of the former owner of LDS and Vista. LDS and Vista sell their products primarily to the prime contractors and subsystem suppliers, both directly and through a network of independent sales representatives. The addition of these companies provides a North American base of operations for our ground defense vehicle business, while offering opportunities to market and sell additional products to our existing aerospace technology under the trademark Power Hawk(R). Various accessories and related equipment are also offered. The primary use for this tool is the extrication of automobile accident victims.customers. Sales by this Segmentsegment to the Boeing Company in 2001, 2000, and 1999 1998,were $44.2 million, $41.6 million, and 1997 were $42.9 $39.3, and $32.0 million, respectively. The loss of the Boeing Company as a customer would have a material adverse affecteffect on this Segment.segment. U.S. Government direct and end use sales of this Segmentsegment in 2001, 2000, and 1999 1998were $35.8 million, $21.2 million, and 1997 were $17.4 $19.7, and $20.1 million, respectively. The loss of this business would also have a material adverse effectaffect on this Segment.segment. Page 7 The backlog of this Segmentsegment as of January 31, 20002002 was $164.4$165.2 million as compared with $143.0$123.2 million as of January 31, 1999.2001. Of the January 31, 2000 amount,2002 backlog, approximately 52%59% is expected to be shipped during 2000.2002. None of the business of this Segmentsegment is seasonal. Raw materials are generally available in adequate quantities from a number of suppliers. Metal Treatment - --------------------------------- This segment of Curtiss-Wright provides approximately 50 metal-treating services, in this Segment, with its principal services being "shot peening""shot-peening" and "heat treating."heat-treating." "Shot peening""Shot-peening" is the process by which the durability of metal parts are improved by the bombardment of the part's surface with spherical media such as steel shot, ceramic or glass beads to compress the outer layer of the metal. "Heat treating""Heat-treating" is a metallurgical process of subjecting metal objects to heat and/or cold, or otherwise subsequently treating the material to change the physical and/or chemical characteristics or properties of the material. An overview of the metal treating services is provided on page 7 in the Company's Annual Report, such description being incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K. These processes are used principally to improve the service life, strength and durability of metal parts. They are also used to form curvatures in metal panels, which are assembled as wingskins of commercial and military planes,aircraft, and to manufacture valve reedsreed valves used in compressors. The Corporationsegment provides these services for a broad spectrum of customers in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, construction equipment, oil, petrochemical, metal working, and other industries. Through a combination of acquisitions and new plant openings, this segment continues to increase its network of regional facilities. Operations are now conducted from 3742 facilities located in the United States, Canada, England, France, Germany, and Belgium. In addition to shot-peening and heat-treating, other products and services include shot-peen forming, lasershot peening, plating, reed valve manufacturing and engineering/testing and field services. In 2001, this segment expanded its reach with the opening of a shot-peening facility in Germany and the acquisition of heat-treating facilities in Kansas and New Jersey. The services and products of this Segmentsegment are marketed directly by employees of the Company.segment. Although numerous companies compete with the Companysegment in this field and many customers for the services provided have the resources to perform such services themselves, Curtiss-Wright believes that its greater technical know-howknowledge and superior quality of workmanship provide it with a competitive advantage. The Corporation alsosegment competes on the basis of quality, service and price. The backlog of this Segmentsegment as of January 31, 20002002 was $1.2$1.1 million, as compared with $1.4$1.2 million as of January 31, 1999.2001. All of such backlog is expected to be shipped in the first quarter of 2000.2002. The services of this segment are sold with very modest lead times and accordingly, the backlog of this segment is not indicative of future sales. The business of this Segmentsegment is not seasonal. Raw materials are generally available in adequate quantities from a number of suppliers, and the Segmentsegment is not materially dependent upon any single source of supply. NoBAE Airbus UK accounted for 13% of total sales in 2001, however no single customer accounted for 10% or more of total sales in 1999, 19982000 and 1997 and the1999. The loss of this customer would have a material adverse effect on this segment. The active customer base numbers are in excess of 5,000. Page 8 Flow Control - -------------------------- This segment consists of six operating divisions that design, manufacture, distribute, and service a broad range of highly engineered flow control products for severe service military and commercial applications. At its facility located in East Farmingdale, New York, the Corporationthis segment designs, manufactures, refurbishes and tests highly engineered valves of various types and sizes, such as motor operated and solenoid operated globe, gate, control and safety relief valves. These valves are used to control the flow of liquids and gases and to provide safety relief in high-pressure applications. ItThis division also supplies actuators and controllers for its own valves as well as for valves manufactured by others.its competitors. The primary customers for these valves are the U.S. Navy, which uses them in nuclear propulsion systems, and owners and operators of commercial power utilities who use them in new and existing nuclear and fossil fuel power plants. All of the new nuclear plants are outside the U.S. and recent sales for such plants have been toin Korea and Taiwan. Sales are made by responding directly to requests for proposals from customers. The production of valves for the U.S. Navy and for new power plants is characterized by long lead times from order placement to delivery. Through its Enertech operation, the Companysegment also designs, manufactures, and distributes additional flow control products for sale into global commercial nuclear power markets and it also distributes products made by others from its facility in Brea, California. Enertech's product lines include: snubbers, advanced valves, valve actuators, test and diagnostic equipment, as well as related diagnostic services. In addition, the Company nowsegment provides training, on-site services, staff augmentation and engineering programs relating to nuclear power plants. The Companysegment also provides hydraulic power units and components primarily for the automotive and entertainment industries. In August 1999, the Company further expandedThrough its product lines and distribution base through the acquisitions of Farris Engineering ("Farris") and Sprague Products ("Sprague"), two former business units of Teledyne Fluid Systems, Inc. As a result of acquiring Farris,operation, the segment is one of the world's leading manufacturers of spring-loaded and pilot operated pressure-relief valves the Company expanded its customer base intofor the processing industries. Farris' primary customers are refineries, petrochemical/chemical plants and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. Farris products are manufactured in Brecksville, Ohio and Brantford, Ontario. A service and distribution center is located in Edmonton, Alberta. Sprague Products ("Sprague"), also located in Brecksville, Ohio, manufactures and provides specialty hydraulic and pneumatic valves, air-driven pumps and gas boosters under the "Sprague" and "PowerStar" trade names. Sprague products are used generally in various industrial applications as well as in directional control valves for truck transmissions and car transport carriers. In 2001, the segment further expanded its product lines and distribution base through the acquisitions of Solent & Pratt Engineering Ltd. ("S&P"), Peerless Instrument Co. ("Peerless") and Deltavalve USA, LLC ("Deltavalve"). From its facility in Bridport, England, S&P manufactures high performance butterfly valves and is a global supplier to the petroleum, petrochemical, chemical and process industries. From its facility in Elmhurst, New York, Peerless designs, develops, manufactures, tests and services specialized instrumentation and control equipment primarily for the U.S. Nuclear Page 9 Naval program. Deltavalve designs, engineers, and manufactures metal-seated industrial valves used in standard and advanced applications including high-cycle, high-pressure, extreme temperature, and corrosive plant environments. Deltavalve is located in Salt Lake City, Utah with an assembly and testing facility in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Strong competition in flow control products and services is encountered primarily from a large number of domestic and foreign sources insources. Competition occurs on the commercial market.basis of price, technical expertise, delivery, contractual terms, previous installation history and reputation for quality. Delivery speed and the proximity of service centers are important with respect to after-market products. Sales to commercial users are accomplished through independent marketingsales representatives and by direct sales. These products and services are sold to customers who are sophisticated and demanding. Performance, quality, technology, delivery and price are the principal areas of competition.sales employees. The backlog of this Segmentsegment as of January 31, 20002002 was $67.3$81.4 million as compared with $55.2$52.6 million as of January 31, 1999.2001.

Other Information - ----------------------------------------------- Government Sales - ---------------- InFrom 1999 1998 and 1997,to 2001, the Company's direct sales to the United StatesU.S. Government and sales for United StatesU.S. Government and foreign government end use aggregated approximately 17%, 17% and 20% respectively, of total sales for all Segments. United Statesconsolidated sales. U.S. Government sales, both direct and subcontract, are generally made under one of the standard types of government contracts, including fixed price and fixed price-redeterminable. In accordance with normal practice in the case of United StatesU.S. Government business, contracts and orders are subject to partial or complete termination at any time, at the option of the customer. In the event of a termination for convenience by the Government,government, there generally are provisions for recovery by the Corporation of its allowable incurred costs and a proportionate share of the profit or fee on the work done,completed, consistent with regulations of the United StatesU.S. Government. SubcontractsContracts for Navy nuclear valves usually provide that Curtiss-Wright must absorb most of any overrun of "target" costs.cost overrun.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Corporation is exposed to certain market risks from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates as a result of its global operating and financing activities. However,See the Corporation seeks to minimize the risks from these interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through its normal operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Corporation did not use such instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and did not use leveraged derivative financial instruments during the year ended December 31, 1999. Information regarding the Corporation's accounting policy on financial instruments isinformation contained in Note 1.G to the Consolidated Financial StatementsRegistrant's Annual Report on page 24, ofunder the Annual Report,caption "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," which information is incorporated herein by reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report. The Corporation's market risk for a change in interest rates relates primarily to the debt obligations. Approximately 49% of the Corporation's debt at December 31, 1999 and 46% of the December 31, 1998 debt is comprised of Industrial Revenue Bond financing. As described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 29 of the Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report, the Corporation borrowed variable rate debt under its short-term credit agreement and revolving credit agreement aggregating 31,000,000 Swiss Francs arising out of the December 31, 1998 purchase of SIG Antriebstechnik AG to mitigate its currency exposure. Financial instruments expose the Corporation to counter-party credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk for changes in interest and currency rates. The Corporation manages exposure to counter-party credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counter-parties and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk. The Corporation monitors the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of its investments by considering reasonably possible changes in interest rates and by limiting the amount of potential interest and currency rate exposures to amounts that are not material to the Corporation's consolidated results of operations and cash flowsreference.
