Forward Looking Statement

This presentation contains forward-looking information relating to the Company's business and prospects, including the Aerospace and Industrial
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 for government programs and thereafter
contract negotiations with government authorities, both foreign and domestic; 2) political conditions in countries where the Company does or intends to do
business; 3) standard government contract provisions permitting renegotiation of terms and termination for the convenience of the government; 4) changes
in government and customer priorities and requirements (including cost-cutting initiatives, the potential deferral of awards, terminations or reductions of
expenditures to respond to the priorities of Congress and the Administration, or budgetary cuts resulting from Congressional actions or automatic
sequestration under the Budget Control Act of 2011); 5) satisfactory conclusion to government inquiries or investigations regarding government programs,
including satisfactory resolution of the Wichita subpoena matter; 6) domestic and foreign economic and competitive conditions in markets served by the
Company, particularly the defense, commercial aviation and industrial production markets; 7) risks associated with successful implementation and ramp up
of significant new programs; 8) potential difficulties associated with variable acceptance test results, given sensitive production materials and extreme test
parameters; 9) successful resale of the SH-2G(I) aircraft, equipment and spare parts; 10) receipt and successful execution of production orders for the JPF
U.S. government contract, including the exercise of all contract options and receipt of orders from allied militaries, as all have been assumed in connection
with goodwill impairment evaluations; 11) continued support of the existing K-MAX® helicopter fleet, including sale of existing K-MAX® spare parts
inventory; 12) cost estimates associated with environmental remediation activities at the Bloomfield, Moosup and New Hartford, CT facilities and our U.K.
facilities; 13) profitable integration of acquired businesses into the Company's operations; 14) changes in supplier sales or vendor incentive policies; 15)
the effects of price increases or decreases; 16) the effects of pension regulations, pension plan assumptions, pension plan asset performance and future
contributions; 17) future levels of indebtedness and capital expenditures; 18) future availability of credit; 19) continued availability of raw materials and
other commodities in adequate supplies and the effect of increased costs for such items; 20 )the effects of currency exchange rates and foreign competition
on future operations; 21) changes in laws and regulations, taxes, interest rates, inflation rates and general business conditions; 22) future repurchases
and/or issuances of common stock; and 23) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company's annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements
